| Which cable has most impact - IC, Spkr., power? Joc3021,You are making the mistake of attributing properties to ordinary wires. It is the quality of AC power and the choice of components which determine whether a cable will make either a large or negligible difference.Think about it;Poorly desi... | |
| You know you're an audiophile if-- And you indicate right at the beginning and indicate left at the end of each CD | |
| You know you're an audiophile if-- the turn indicator arm on your car has a anti-skating counter weight | |
| You know you're an audiophile if-- your wife is 2 feet taller than you (ensures correct tweeter alignment for proper stereo imaging at all times) | |
| You know you're an audiophile if-- you use an anti-static toothbrush with sorbothane pads | |
| Jeff Beck "performing this week" OMG Ok - just in case nobody takes me seriously (which I fully expect being a crazy and opinionated a b*stard that I am).Just listen to this and if you don't get it then you have no soul. (yeah - you are lost forever if this does not move you - give i... | |
| Jeff Beck "performing this week" OMG Aldavis,I got this on Blu-Ray and it is indeed everything you say and more. I thought I should add something to your thread (after picking my jaw up off the floor).The audio quality is awesome - although I might be biased 'cause they use ATC at Ro... | |
| Does impedance matter? Stanwal,You make excellent points and I am in complete agreement. most audiophiles want the capability of altering the sound of their system. This may be good or bad, but it is the simple truth This statement just about sums it up. However it pre... | |
| Does impedance matter? Shadorne, Nothing wrong with what you suggest but what if someone doesn't like the 'sound' of SS amps, normally used by manufacturers in thier powered speakers? Then they are in luck because the majority of speakers are passive. And, who sez that... | |
| Focal and Dr Who? Wow, you suddenly realize how dangerous this hobby is, THEY may only be sleeping...It is actually a lot worse than that. If you listen carefully to the Daleks when they speak you might recognize a voice from early childhood....yes indeed, this is... | |
| Room EQ I'm using E-Mu 0404 USB. It is nothing special - although it does have 24 bit capability - but honestly you really don't need anything special for in room bass measurements and the ECM8000 microphone is good enough. I am not sure is if the room EQ... | |
| why so many benchmark dac1's on audiogon? Waynefia,Well said. Your description makes audio equipment seem more akin to a fashion accessory for most audiophiles than some technical apparatus designed to perform a precise task.... | |
| Speaker Technology over the last 10 years i think you are ignoring the obvious. Obviously cone speakers, for all their faults, are extremely popular - not just with consumers but also in professional audio engineering circles and with musicians and artists.I don't know of many multi-mil... | |
| what is the theory behind maple stands and racks? The trouble with oak is it is far too lofty and grab up all the light. Maples have been oppressed. | |
| Does impedance matter? Magfan,Excellent point. It begs the question why most speakers and amplifiers are not built as a matched set - what I mean is specifically engineered amplifiers for each driver/load. It also begs the question why designers put capacitance and indu... |
