| Too good a post to waste This may be a difficult concept, but if the wire sounds the same on every system, then you are essentially saying wire doesn't matter. millercarbon OP5,046 posts07-02-2020 9:07pmActually no, they sound the same regardless of what they're plugged ... | |
| good discussion on power cords Or perhaps someone heard about using silver grease on a circuit breaker and decided they would "slather" some on the connection point point to the buss-bar, not knowing that the technique is used to grease the contacts of large breakers, not the c... | |
| What is the maximum amperage on the 15 volt side for the Pro-ject Power Box ds2 Sources Too much attitude, too little "listening" by the op. The direction to the answer was in my posts (several times). I am out. Good luck. | |
| Monster Regret!! Actually connecting to different outlets is a text-book definition of the cause of a ground loop, and much of what you described is not or at least cannot be called specifically a ground loop.A ground loop is by definition having multiple paths fo... | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? Mahlman was making fun of Sokogear's elitist post w.r.t. whether you needed to have a turntable or R-R to be considered an audiophile, then went on to equate it to the difference between Porsche SUV drivers and Porsche sports car drivers (Porschef... | |
| Recommendations for fast sounding cables 0-30. I wouldn’t trust most of this crowd at highway speeds. 0-60 or 1/4 mile spec? | |
| Recommendations for fast sounding cables Yup, one should always pick cables made by companies like Snake River Audio who are either lying or technically ignorant when they make comments like:The primary reason for the non-coaxial design is due to the choking of bandwidth in conventional ... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? Pretty much mahgister. One side will never admit the potential for a sonic difference, even when from a technical standpoint, there can be in some circumstances, and the other side will always make wild claims that they will refuse to submit to an... | |
| good discussion on power cords I am impressed. Usually those things are riveted together or sonic welded such that you can't access the contacts to grease them.I just popped in a new 20 amp Square D slathered with silver grease. | |
| Monster Regret!! This is an oft told, and rarely justified statement. Most quality amplifiers use inductive and other filtering means on the input to smooth out the rectified power peaks which happen only for brief periods of time on a linear power supply 100 or 1... | |
| Recommendations for fast sounding cables Most people attribute the quality of "speed" to a particular quality of mid-bass, which is a factor of speakers/amp. No cable is going to compensate for the significantly different electrical properties of your new SEP amp. It is just not going to... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? I am pretty sure whether you use pure silver wire or cheap copper wire for the CAN bus in a Ferrari, the performance will be the same. | |
| Too good a post to waste Never has one person made so many posts that have so little useful information in them and so rarely contribute to the conversation. I really have to applaud the enthusiasm you apply to your inanity. I must say I do appreciate the hypocrisy of tho... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? Now do a live microphone for an orchestra. Let's ignore that signal transfer doesn't work that way .... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? You mean you listened to a high end system that just happened to have expensive cables. stroud276125 posts07-01-2020 3:43pmI'm intrigued by this debate. I've listened to high-end cables at local audio events, and the music always sounds good. |
