| Coda #8, Pass XA25, or Schiit Tyr to replace PS Audio M700 The Tyr will give you the best deal for your dollar since they sell direct to the consumer without the huge markup. | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? You're one of the few who are not dealing with expectation bias and realize there is no objective difference between power cables and I applaud you. | |
| Decware Sarah 300B Amp? According to the people who say more watts sound better, you'd do well to avoid that amp. Then again, they probably think that a fuse can alter the sound so I say, go for it. Personally I don't want to wait that long and wouldn't support him for o... | |
| Suggestions for power amps Ideally it would be best for recommendations to know if your power is supplied by coal, hydro, wind, or solar. The "greener" the better. Also, do you have any isolation devices under your equipment? Some amps respond differently to granite than th... | |
| Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home? @secretguy get's it. The only thing that might matter is if a speaker cone was damaged by little fingers. If that was the case, the parent was paying enough attention. | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews @coralkong Verses here people are encouraged to listen with their heart (subjective) instead of their brain and emotional decisions often turn out to not be the best. I like to see measurements before listening to get an idea what the manufact... | |
| 300B SET Amp driving Wilson Sabrinas It's baffling that in this hobby so few people understand what speaker sensitivity actually means. They just take what's fed to them by reviewers or other opinions and regurgitate it when talking about speakers and how sensitive they are or are no... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing If cables do change the sound (they don't) it would be audible by changing any one of them. Swap out the amp power cable with a different one would make a difference were it true. | |
| Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama The person so emotionally fragile as to sue someone for a review he didn't agree with should be embarrassed. Chances are he's bringing way more attention to the review than would have happened naturally. Not smart. | |
| How Is This Possible? Must be Counterfeits Chances are they are exactly what Nordhost makes but not "authorized" by them. It doesn't matter anyway because the "real" Nordhost cables won't sound any different than these versions. You're mostly paying for the name. | |
| can you help me narrow my speaker cables short list please? Bluejeans will be equal to anything else you'd buy but at a much less ridiculous cost. | |
| Update from Nordost Heimdall to Frey speaker cable You'll hear a difference because you expect to hear a difference but there really isn't any difference (except an even more exorbitant price). | |
| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review Reviewers almost never give an actual bad review because they know if they do that, manufacturers will stop lending gear for evaluation. Even things that make no objective difference like cables or tuning dots or any of the myriad other things tha... | |
| Ethernet cables No, no it's not worth it. Ones and zeroes don't know nor care how they travel and all the stupidly expensive cables absolutely will not change that. | |
| At what point do you... If you're buying things that cannot wear out, open box or used is much preferable. Buying something with a ridiculously high profit margin when new is bad money management (buying a $400+ power cable or any other cable is just silly whether new or... |
