| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? And some of is have plenty of experience hearing super high end systems, and own highly resolving systems ourselves.(Hope that wasn't too complicated) | |
| Cable Burn In @almarg Thanks very much for the kind words, Al.Having observed many (and occasionally participated in) on-line discussions of the more controversial audio topics, I’ve found a very common, almost completely reliable trend. Many people (especially... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom, thanks. Some form of mechanical break in sounds plausible to me for speakers. | |
| Cable Burn In clearthink,Then why don’t you buy some actual audio cable and conduct some experiments for yourself you seem to be a vocal advocate and promoter of what you seem to think is the "scientific" method you could acquire your own set of verifiable data... | |
| Cable Burn In hifiman5,OP - shadorne and the other measurers insist that if you can't measure it you won't hear it...you might convince yourself you did, but what the hell do your ears know? I mean really who are your ears to tell your brain what sounds are... | |

| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? calvinj,So, really, you just find the actual debate to be outside your interest. In other words, you are fundamentally incurious about the very subject you started a thread on. That is just really odd. (Of course it can also be explained by you... | |
| Thiel Owners brayeagle,I play practically every type of music on my system, jazz, rock, fusion, electronica, soundtracks, classical, country, folk, world music, choral, you name it.Sometimes I ride the volume for the comfort of my ears (I do have to watch clas... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? @calvinjElizabeth I understand all I see is. Lot of blah blah blah I hope you won't mind answering these questions: What exactly where you expecting when you started this thread, if it's different than how the discussion turned out?What would coun... | |
| Thiel Owners ronkent,Nice analogy. I agree the 3.7s do majesty. I always felt they never had me wanting for a larger speaker/bigger sound because they sounded so big!I’ve been happily surprised at how large the 2.7s can sound as well. Never as large as the 3.7... | |
