| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? analogluvr,You passed the reading test! ;-)As you saw, I made it quite clear that any results from a well designed test are provisional, limited to the scope of that particular test or set of tests. Results never "prove" things but only possibly a... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Ah, the classic "calm down" reply. "Why you so mad bruh"?Baiting or silly replies are hardly reasons to get upset; I just point them out for what they are, and note they are relevant for claims that it’s the skeptics looking to tweak noses, not th... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? taras22,Ok, so you made an admittedly silly equivalence between a change in 3dB and the change in lights from on and off in an a room. I portrayed that difference as subtle but distinct. Which it is. And for reasons backed up by the links I gave... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? taras22,Would you like to explain further? Your comment suggests you misunderstand the relationship between altering acoustic energy levels and our perception of loudness.While increasing a sound by 3dB doubles the acoustic energy, we do not perc... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? I really appreciate your reply elizabeth, thank you! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? reubent,Nice to see MW acknowledged by another fan. I also saw them open for Rush numerous times. Such a killer band. And some of their albums sound really fantastic to boot. (And have you listened to the glorious Rush re-masters on vinyl?)As ... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? cd318,geoff doesn't even try honest debate where you respond reasonably to what the other party actually wrote. It's like playing a game of darts with someone who never even hits the board, but keeps tossing darts towards the toilet. You get tir... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? elizabeth,A few things....(and I realize this will likely go longer than you may want to read, but others may be interested in this response):1. The first thing is to note how you seem to be speaking about cable differences. If, as your post impli... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Max Webster album: Universal Juveniles. Man it sounds great on vinyl! | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? unreceivedogma,Yes blind testing is used all over the place, including in physics.It’s even used by orchestras in auditioning players, to remove things like gender bias:https://www.theguardian.com/women-in-leadership/2013/oct/14/blind-auditions-or... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? calvinj,I see you aren't done baiting people. What a sweetheart.Though you started a thread with a poor attitude and continued it, fortunately some have entered with an interest in honest conversation. | |
| So what’s the future look like I've kept up on the news of the "vinyl revival" and it's a common theme from those interviewed, old or young just getting in to it, to praise the sound quality of vinyl over digital.Putting aside how accurate their impressions are, it nonetheless ... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom, that's more helpful info, thanks!Now to go crank my tunes!.... | |
| Thiel Owners tomthiel,What is the role played by the difference between tube amps and solid state amps, which it comes to damaging clipping?It’s something of a cliche to say that tube amps clip more softly than SS.Is this true to the extent that it would be le... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? ron1319,I am going to buy a USB cable because even though I’ve only listened to one of them so far, I’m 99% sure I will be able to differentiate between my printer cable and the better USB cable blind. My current belief is that the difference wasn... |
