| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? No need to chase Teo’s usual phalanx of red herrings.Instead of his usual throwing a bunch of confused sounding philosophy at a thread and hoping something sticks, or at least baffles someone, I’ll wait for the day Teo presents a cogent argument w... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? cleeds,Yes, I have had a hearing test. Have you? The tests I’ve been part of don’t tell me what I hear at all. Rather, I have to tell the audiologist what I hear. Without that feedback, the audiologist knows exactly nothing about what I hear.Ob... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? calvinj,But you listening ear is your ear. No one can tell you what you don’t hear. Uh...yes they can.Ever had a hearing test?Why do you think we invent instruments to detect things our senses alone can not detect?Are you convinced all reality is ... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? cleeds is correct on the point about being able to scientifically quantify abilities such as "skill in listening." Human variability is quantified all the time in the sciences, from variations concerning what people are good at, to what people li... | |
| Cable Burn In fleschler,Right, so you listen to cables. Ok.I don’t care that a machine will tell me that they all test the same other than for capacitance, inductance or resistance. The manufacturer tests for the basics. What we do is determine if sonically, we... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? edgewear,You are making a claim that others have made here: that it takes a really high resolution system for cable differences to become apparent.1. But as I keep pointing out: People with "lower res" systems have been talking about and reporting... | |
| Cable Burn In fleschler,Just curious: What do you mean you are a "cable tester" for a small manufacturer?Do you mean you are an electrical engineer and you are part of production, and take various measurements of the cables and find an objective measurable dif... | |
| Thiel Owners tomthiel,Can you tell me: what was Jim's thinking about loudspeaker design before he started producing time/phase coherent speakers?I still have my old Thiel 02 (circa 76' ?) and love them. Was Jim going for flat response as a main attribute...... | |
| Cable Burn In @nonoiseIs this "engineer" who used to work for a cable company who all naysayers say is good enough for audiophiles and who appears to make little on his cables wrong? I don't know. He might be. Again...the company he left does not see it nec... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers rothwea,You may well be right.Looking at the Super 9 specs, they are almost the same size exactly as the Joseph speakers, are spec'd a bit lower in the bass, and use bigger woofers. It's possible the Super 9's would strike just the right balance ... | |
| Cable Burn In Finally, there has been mention of blinded studies. I’m not sure why the audio magazines aren’t full of them. A panel of experts. Same room, same system, equipment not visible. Various songs played at various volumes but only one physical eleme... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? calvinj,I am certainly not here to tell you or anyone you shouldn't enjoy buying and listening to whatever cables you like. Glad you are so enthusiastic about your set up.I'm mostly representing the reasons why I don't apportion much of my mental... | |
| Cable Burn In aalenik.And one you get guys like Prof & Clearthink going, forget a logical straightforward conversation.If you are implying my posts are "illogical" I haven't seen you demonstrate that. (Unless I'm misunderstanding what you meant there).One ... | |
| if I buy an ultrasonic cleaner for my records will I be able to hear the difference? As I mentioned earlier, I don't yet have experience with USC as I'm still awaiting my Degritter USC.But if you want to hear a comparison before and after an old record was cleaned, Degritter recorded such a comparison. If you go to the Degritter ... | |
| YG Acoustics, Raihdo? I have not heard any YG speakers, but I auditioned a couple Raidho monitors. Best ribbon tweeter integration I've ever experienced (I don't know if I've ever liked another dynamic speaker with a ribbon tweeter because I always hear a discontinui... |
