| Selling collection directly in the pacific northwest? Why is it that the OP frequently doesn't post answers to questions or add comments after their first post? I've dealt with Echo Audio several times over the years and have been very happy with their service, both selling and buying. I'm in the... | |
| Keep Acoustic Zen or move on? Save your money and move on. Different wires won't make a scientific difference but may make a faith difference. | |
| Ceriously, it all started with a power cable Who knew that wiring of any kind had a "break-in" period? Oh right, no one with just about any knowledge of how electricity works. Baffling. | |
| Help with possible integrated amp change for better match with my speakers. First of all, how do you know you're missing "micro details" (whatever those are)? Have you heard them on different systems with the exact same recordings? Second of all, no amp is going to change what you perceive to be not hearing. | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? From Kevin Gilbert's Tea For One, Caught in the pouring rain he crouches beneath her awning And there through the screen spies his lady of esteem Not alone And there's rapture on her face Within a man's embrace | |
| I could have started this on the cables thread.....but.... It's a wonder that cable doesn't catch on fire or at least have the outer covering swell with all those electrons not being able to flow at the normal speed of electricity. | |
| Considering switching to XLR cables, There's no objective difference between XLR and RCA cables except for the locking feature that has zero to do with sound. Zero. . Also, your equipment doesn't care what "quality" (price) the cables are. The signals will transmit just as well vis B... | |
| Power Cords/ Conditioner/Surge Protectors Power cords make no objective difference in sound. A surge protector can help if there are lightning strikes or weird power company things. The ones you can buy at your local big box store will suffice. | |
| "audiophiles listen to their equipment" I've never really understood the "critical listening" angle. That's basically the opposite of simply listening for pleasure. If you're listening critically, you'll hear things that sound good to you, but you'll also hear things that don't which wi... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? This thread progressed about as expected after reading the title. Looks like a lot of folks listen to audio show type music, which is a little sad.. Not all of any kind of music is "bad". | |
| Neutral-ish Speaker Cable Cables don't matter except up here (points to expectation biased brain). | |
| Oh no, say it ain't so. You can tell the people who checked a lot of the boxes just by some of the responses in this thread. Defensive much? | |
| Do I need upgraded power cables? People knowledgeable about electricity will tell you a power cable is a power cable and won't make any difference. People that are members of the church of audiophilia will tell you the differences "aren't subtle" (a favourite). | |
| Recommendation for an HDMI cable under $200 for audio only Anything will work due to the data being 1's and 0's which will transfer the same regardless of the cable or what the people who erroneously believe they can hear a difference will tell you. | |
| Why do tube amps often subjectively sound more powerful than SS ? How does anyone hear "power" from an amp or anything else? Volume, sure. power, not in the least. |
