| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? I got your point andy. I think you missed the point of my reply. ;-) | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? It's interesting to see prof don't hear difference in cable elevators. First you have to be able to hear difference in cables first :-) It's like saying I finished the race first but I crashed out on lap 8 out of 80. Perfectly put. Cheers. ... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? geoff,I may have missed the post to which you are replying, but are you talking about isolating speakers/subwoofers from the surface on which they sit?Can you clarify why you see it as easier to do so with a subwoofer? Do you mean perhaps that a ... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? These are the type of subjects that self-reputed "Golden Ears" love.To them, it only re-enforces that they have Golden Ears, which is a psychologically-comfortable status. I’m not talking simply about any audiophile who tries something out in his ... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? As to soundstages collapsing due to cables not being treated as if they were unicorns: I have friends and acquaintances who are audio reviewers. I regularly hear whatever gear they have in, from expensive amps, to all sorts of speakers, all of the... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? You have to ask yourself, do you really think the sound stage, which is almost all a factor of recording and speaker/room interaction, would magically collapse due to some exceedingly low level interaction between a cable and the floor?Exactly. An... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? Never heard a difference.As to the horrifying influence of speaker cables touching things: I moved from a variety of speaker cables when my source components were in the same room as my speakers, to moving my source components to another room. ... | |
| Why no “Break in” period? @boxer12So clearly the answer was "no, I will not do nuance, and I will continue to strawman you."You did of course completely strawman my position as telling you: "we can’t possibly be hearing what we are hearing." You believe that measurements t... | |
| Why no “Break in” period? boxer,Why not try to understand an argument, rather than presume it is wrong and waste time misrepresenting it?You've presented quotes AS IF they don't form part of a coherent stance, while not actually showing any effort to understand what you qu... | |
| Why no “Break in” period? millercarbon,That a high end audio designer gave up providing objective or reliable methods for vetting his designs hardly supports your case. The Curl quote is just appealing to the same subjectivity as you are; it's assertion, not justification... | |
| Why no “Break in” period? boxer,No, I'm honestly representing what I argue for and believe. Insofar as you would include me in your previous complaint:boxer: They are the victims here. Just trying to teach us that we can't possibly be hearing what we are hearing. You are ... | |
| Why no “Break in” period? @boxer12geoff, geoff, geoff,... They are the victims here. Just trying to teach us that we can't possibly be hearing what we are hearing.Who is "they?"Me (in this very thread):There is of course nothing wrong with just buying gear and trying it, ... | |
| Why no “Break in” period? rodman wrote: What, "claims" have I made? Uh....these:while refusing to acknowledge that ONLY experimentation(the heart of the Scientific Method), provides PROOF, regarding anything discussed. Most of those are proffering their opinions, without e... | |
| New Magico A1 Bookshelf Speakers! It's interesting that the Magico A3 floorstander was among the most anticipated and popular releases by that company ever, yet not a peep out of Stereophile in terms of a review.I asked about that on the Stereophile site, and the editor replied in... | |
