| Interconnect Directionality Then there’s: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-is-the-current-scien/ I especially like the first three sentences, of the last paragraph. | |
| Interconnect Directionality robertcon- " Your lack of knowledge of how to design experiments to eliminate bias does neither validates your last statement NOR invalidates the fact that it is the pundits who need to take said blind tests and prove they can hear a difference ... | |
| I'm having a really hard time with: "Power cable reduced my soundstage"... Still there, captbeaver? "May be boring but no one has answered the McIntosh amp cord question...." You asked:: "My McIntosh amp has a permanently attachehed power cable that is a off the shelf product. Is their design faulty? Are th... | |
| Interconnect Directionality robertcon- " There is an assumption (often a self assumption) that certain "audiophiles" have golden ears, and hence they use all these "tweaks" because they have super-human hearing and can hear differences the rest of us cannot. The reality is... | |
| Target bias dictated by amp or by tube? You might try splitting the difference, during your tests(ie: around 90 - 100mA). If you don’t notice an audible reduction in presentation(lost dynamics, rounded off highs, poor focus, etc), compared to the manual’s spec, leave it there. Why waste... | |
| I'm having a really hard time with: "Power cable reduced my soundstage"... @captbeaver- "My McIntosh amp has a permanently attachehed power cable that is a off the shelf product. Is their design faulty? Are they not giving you the full amp? Seems they would know about this magic 4 feet...lol" ... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... "....well other than a misunderstanding of how electricity works..." There are a couple of theories, as to how electricity, "works". They are both called a, "theory". To which theory, do you ascribe your perfect, "understanding"? | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... "........but when someone brings up a group, made of up actual audio researchers, experts, and others who are viewed by their peers as experts, that that group is suddenly of "no value"." Perhaps: expecta... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... @oregonpapa - I’m certain; that’s in the cards. Right now; I’m going to be making a couple other changes, which will require evaluation(hours, each). Don’t want to muddy the waters, with my propensity toward impatience. | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... While contemplating the above, I thought about my own fuse trials. Didn’t know what to expect, but- figured it was worth a try. My first fuse was the SR 20 Synergistic(yeah- it’s been a while), for which I didn’t care. Tried the HI-FI Tun... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Thinking about A/B testing, it occurred to me, how many times I’ve heard, "expectation bias", to discount the conclusions, when conducted by the typical audiophile(the tweak doesn’t matter). Today; I pictured a cadre of fire-breathing, rabid, nays... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... I’m still waiting for someone to, "prove" fancy fuses can’t/won’t/don’t improve one’s listening experience. OH, WAIT: you can’t. All I’ve seen/read here, thus far, are theories and subjectivity. Nothing’s ever been categorically proven by... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Hopefully: the kind of people we’ll run into, on a site(purportedly) dedicated to the improvement of one’s listening experience, will be those that point us in a direction, conducive to achieving that goal. It’s been my experience; making system/l... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... I suppose; some are so lithocephalic(an indicator of hubris), that they’re incapable of noticing another’s use of words like, "generally", "variables", "usually", etc. And, again(my point): Anyone’s having convinced themselves otherwise, thr... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... On another thread, Elizabeth brought up a subject, that is typically ignored in these conversations. ie: Familiarity(with the system being altered/used as a test platform). Hours spent in a car familiarize it’s owner with the overall sound of it’s... |
