| Current speaker threads are boring Posting about expensive equipment generates lots of negative comments these days. Not being able to afford such equipment seems to generate feelings of envy in a subset of audiophiles. The gap between the haves and the have nots is widening. | |
| Warm, rich sounding interconnects? That's a good idea. | |
| Warm, rich sounding interconnects? I don't see how cables could sound warm or rich, unless they are distorting or rolling off the signal being fed to them. Better to find neutral cables, and you can always add a tubed component or two for 'midrange liquidity'. | |
| What are the most outrageous speakers reviews you have ever seen? Nothing to feel sorry about. Most audio reviews aren't worth more than a passing glance. Glorified advertisements. Sometimes the reviewers will reveal the flaws of the previous model only when the new one is released. Think Magico.I still remember... | |
| Cable manufacturers? I love it when the cable forum blasts off into outer space. | |
| whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money SignalCable. Expertly hand-assembled, sensible proven designs, reasonably priced (buy direct), great customer service. What more do you need? | |
| 16 bit is good enough..... 16, 24, 44, 96, 192.... I wouldn't pay a dime extra for the higher numbers. 16/44, done right, with today's technology, approaches the limits of what the normal human ear can hear. If its good enough for ECM, its certainly good enough for me. | |

| For older guys When I hit 50 I could start to appreciate Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett. I still listen to death metal and electronica. To each his own. | |
| Hi-res digital audio vs sacd When it comes to new formats, don't forget about the profit motive. My ears are just as happy with the old formats. | |
| My Audio Research experience You ignored ARC 's recommendations and instead rolled tubes on your own. ARC gear is not designed that way. Your poor judgement, your error, your problem.. | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? I tried fancy isolation devices under my TAD Ref1, and the differences were not great. With a massive speaker (think TAD, Magico), the effects of isolation devices are minimized. A well-engineered speaker does not need this kind of tweak in order ... | |
| What to do with old LP inner sleeve? In terms of collectability or monetary value, the original sleeve adds nothing, unless it is particular to the record. Standard printed company sleeves are utterly worthless. Blue Note sleeves included. That being said, I always keep original slee... | |
| Are USB-SPDIF's relevant with today's DAC USB technology? Right you are itsikhefez. I use the Hiface Evo, along with the battery power and external clock add-ons. |
