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... | |
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? ^^^^^ and...there we go again....Another in-depth analysis of the issue. | |
Thiel Owners Yes brayeagle, it’s great to have custom made stuff from Blue Jeans. I’m going to have some interconnect made, short and long. They have really low capacitance interconnects which is great for some long runs I need, especially to my subwoofers. Th... | |
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Wow, discussions in the cable forum can get strange. | |
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Ok nonoise, I can see we can't go any further. I think you would probably have a more meeting-of-the-minds with Teo, as you seem operating on the same wavelength. ;-) | |
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Sorry nonoise, I still can’t make heads or tails of what you are saying, and I see nothing addressing the point I had repeated to you. (I think maritime51 is right about this, but I’ll try pressing on for a moment).There are better made cables tha... | |
Thiel Owners Folks, for those who blew drivers, like the 2.7/3.7 coax, what were the sonic symptoms? Did the sound just die? Or did a crackle develop in the sound....something like that?(The only driver I've ever seen damaged in my home is, apparently, one ... | |
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? nonoise,Thanks, but I found your post fairly confusing, not sure exactly what you wanted to argue. Because it seemed at some points you acknowledged that standard cable used for the recording transmitted 100% of the signal...and then at another po... | |
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers trelja,I already have delayed selling the thiels. I've had intentions to sell them for almost a year, and kept them this long....just in case. But as the 2.7s have done wonderfully over that time, I've weaned myself from the 3.7s and, really, th... |
