| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Wow elizabeth. Classy! My responses to you were polite and honest. And after my first substantial response I finished saying "Anyway, I won’t pursue that any further, and thanks again for your input!"So I was done.But you chose to respond with a s... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? elizabeth,I think you have a general misunderstanding of the implications of what I’ve written.I simply acknowledge my fallibility, and have no problem doing so. It causes me little concern. Blind testing is just an occasional tool in the toolbox,... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? elizabeth,Thanks for those details.In those cases, it certainly seems that you did not fall for a certain type of expectation effect (e.g. that something newer, or more expensive, will sound better).However, that's not the only way perceptual bias... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? ganainm,I’m totally with you, and have myself reiterated many times: I’m not arguing that anyone shouldn’t buy whatever makes him/her happy, for whatever reason they want. Nor do I advocate turning every purchase we make into a scientific double-b... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? elizabeth,I am totally in the audio cables can make a difference camp, but I can also say some folks ARE bamboozled by hype and cost and size and bling. But not you? ;-)I kid...but with a serious point; in the cases you believe to hear differences... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Congratulations to Eric for the recent Stereophile review, giving some technical vindication to his design! | |

| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? geoffkait,What is it you don’t understand about things that can change the outcome of tests that are outside the control of person or persons performing the test? Of course! That’s why there are test protocols to reduce the likely influence of con... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? teo_audio wrote:It’s been covered that due to how the human body works, hearing and mind aspects, that double blind testing for sonic comparison purposes...beyond a very few basic a-b switches... does not work. You may want to take that up with re... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? geoffkait,Not to mention negative results of double blinds tests signify nothing. Sure geoff.That's why if you come to the FDA proposing to sell a new drug treatment, and your blinded clinical trial results were all negative for showing efficacy, ... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers markalarsen,Ok, now I have to know: what music did you listen to that I might hate?I can think of only one type of music that I hate :-) | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @shardorne,I was never a fan of the B&W sound, especially back in the 90’s when they started their lower lines with those hideous kevlar drivers. If any speaker could define the derisive term "hi-fi" those would be it, IMO.So I was very surpri... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers dspringham,Yup, I'm known among my audiophile buddies as being able to out obsess them all, particularly when it comes to replacing speakers.(Not so much other gear). I experiment buying used speakers over the years, but when I'm really serious I... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers dspringham,I had been meaning to do an update. Yup, my Thiel 3.7s are up for sale.Here’s the story:I went back and listened to the Devore 93s again at length. When I first started playing tracks on the 93s it sounded really nice, but it wasn’t doi... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers shadorne,The ATCs were mentioned a bit earlier in the thread, a few posts up.They don't fit the bill for what I'm looking for, unfortunately. |
