| Interconnects and non-believers Devilboy, I never said cables always CHANGE the sound.But you wrote:Cables add their own flavor to the Sonic signature of your system. They are in fact, tone controls. How does not imply that when you change audio cables, you change the sound? And... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers devilboy,You seem to make some sweeping claims that cables always change the sound and act as tone controls. What do you base that upon?I’m no engineer, but having watched electric engineers hash this cable debate stuff out for many years, many wi... | |
| Talk but not walk? glupsonYes your points are well taken.I did find the mini-biography MG gave us certainly did go quite a way to explaining the character of his posts and belief system.It’s weird interacting with the Tuners here; no alternative views seem to get "i... | |
| Talk but not walk? mitch,Indeed. And if we think this style of blind repetition and rhetorical emptiness is bad enough here...imagine the Tuneland forum! Though perhaps everyone there employs their Third Eye to communicate on a higher level than us mere mortals. | |
| Interconnects and non-believers cleeds,That's obviously why I wrote: "In the spirit of exchanging anecdotes."I have tried upmarket AC cords in my system (e.g. various Shunyata)and a couple didn't seem to make any noticeable difference, but one (the most expensive!) did seem to a... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers elizabeth,My view on cables isn’t a settled one, but I have hunches and inferences I’ve drawn from my own meagre tests and experience, and from following the cable debate for many years.In the spirit of exchanging anecdotes: I only use the regular... | |
| Talk but not walk? jf47t,Some of you get it (I think), but the majority of posters still haven’t a clue. Y’know....If I had tried to communicate an idea and the majority of people reading it didn’t have a clue about what I was saying, if I was honest with myself the... | |
| Thiel Owners ron,One of the considerations I’ve had in deciding whether to sell my 3.7s or 2.7s is that I’ve figured the 2.7s would be a harder sell. They were pretty much under the radar (excepting of course the cover story on Absolute Sound - otherwise not a... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers geoffkait,Wow! Thanks for the huge Strawman argument, professor! Your consistency in misidentifying arguments and fallacies is remarkable. You are batting 1000! An achievement of sorts, I guess ;-)Nobody said you can do better than the sound of th... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers jetter,prof and teo, can’t help but notice that you turn most threads into a debate style forum. Were you "debatetateers" in your prior life?Hi jetter,I’ve long been interested in philosophical subjects (especially. but definitely not limited to, ... | |
| Talk but not walk? @mitch2 In the words of Madeleine Albright:I must have been crazy; I should have answered the question by reframing it and pointing out the inherent flaws in the premise behind it.Albright's advice is exactly what I did in my very first reply in ... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers Something to ponder:No matter how good the cable is that you use, you are never hearing anything "better" than the performance of the cables used in the recording. And virtually none of the cables, especially for many of the most heralded audiophi... | |
| Talk but not walk? 18 pages, we weren't ever going to get a real dialogue going. It was doomed from the OP on. I don't know if it will ever sink in that MG and his followers can "walk" all they want with their tuning hobby, and that's cool, but there's no need to ... | |
| Talk but not walk? jf47t,Perhaps this gig isn’t for you; might you be a bit too delicate to be MG’s spokesman here, if you are going to be freaked out so easily?No one here has to be convinced that Michael would "blow our minds" if we just were able to observe him, ... | |
| Talk but not walk? glupson,Yes, as earnest as jf47t is, as you say I think the breathless praise of The Great Important Man is sort of creepin' us out. Descriptions like jf47t's, especially his last post, immediately bring to mind Dennis Hopper's part in Apocalypse ... |
