| Do you believe in Magic? Ether, I think there may be some confusion here. Geoff is referring to the explanations about the products -- not the products themselves and how they perform. This is an intellectual thing. IMO. | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Byron, you are exactly correct. IMO."A scientific explanation isn't valid because it's intuitive, or plausible, or satisfying." There are many commonly accepted scientific theories and propositions that have been proven false. But the latter are o... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? The description is not the described. The perception may be explained in various ways. But it exists in its own realm outside the world of explanation -- whether valid, partially valid or invalid. In our audio world, perception must take precedenc... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Hi Byron, I agree -- completely. Actually, I have at least 2 dozen "quantum" products from 3 different makers in my system. There is something very curious about all these products. They work incredibly well and I would not part with a single one.... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? I believe there are significant differences. Regarding marketing, if a manufacturer is trying to be deliberately obscure when describing a product there may be various reasons for this. This does not mean that the product is not effective, ipso fa... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Byron c, I wonder if this also includes Synergistic Research's Quantum Tunneling and the Kemp Quantum QA Plugs and the Quantum Physics Noise Disrupters -- all of which are actively bought and sold on Audiogon? I imagine that the word quantum does ... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? I agree that trying to understand their explanations is an exercise in futility. What they say is either way above me or deliberately obscure. Never mind. The main thing is that Bybees work. When I buy audio I don't need to understand everything. ... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? It doesn't cost much to give one a try. You have little to lose since you can usually sell Bybees at close to the price you bought them for -- if you buy used. | |
| The best digital IC, period. Glory, you may have misunderstood. I was not shooting at or shooting down anyone. I was simply asking about the difference between the HiDiamond D7 and D8 speaker cables. | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Hi Byroncunningham, I had a bit of the same magic with the Teslaplex and the Teslaplex SE. A lot of this is system dependent. I have not tried the Maestro. I agree. ERS paper can sometimes degrade the sound, it can sometimes do nothing, and it can... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Byroncunningham, I believe in John Sebastian and magic. I have had quite a few magical experiences with my system -- some more magical than others. I'm constantly fiddling around with wires and tweaks and am often happily surprised with the result... | |
| Are High End Audio Products Unreliable? I agree. Expectations should be high for high-priced components. I had a high-end component go DOA out after a year. I was not a happy camper. It was no longer under warranty. In fact, shortly after they brought it to market a "defect" was noted. ... | |
| The best digital IC, period. Musicxyz, since Audiogon makes it difficult to PM at the moment I would appreciate hearing your opinion about the difference between the HiDiamond D7 and D8 speaker cables. | |
| How important is an audio rack? Yes, very effective. I use high quality Tupperware look-alike containers. They are robust enough to support my 32 kg. Marantz amplifier without any problem. As long as they are high quality and the sand is dry you should be fine. Make sure you sha... | |
| Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM mmi monitors Monitor I am now using ASI Liveline XLR ICs in series with Synergistic Research Acoustic Reference XLR ICs with Bybee Interconnect Purifiers on the DAC side. After experimenting with many ICs in series -- using 2 or 3 together -- this is the best combinat... |
