| Do You Unplug Equipment During Thunderstorms? If I remember, I will, but I normally don't. It is the only way to protect your equipment from lightning. | |
| Disagreements and Conflicts between Audiophiles have we lost our brotherhood and maturity? There is a difference between facts and opinions, and the problem at Audiogon is a lot of people can't tell the difference. Example: some people will come on here and claim power cables change sound, or that you can buy speaker wire that sounds be... | |
| And the biggest influence on sound quality is... I was going to say your room. | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? Power cables do not change sound. Anyone who says otherwise is lying or willfully ignorant. Don't drink the snake oil... it's thick in here. | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? Why are you asking 'opinions' about power cables instead of just asking what science and physics say, with quantifiable facts. POWER CABLES DO NOT CHANGE SOUND. Shame on anyone who says otherwise and perpetuates the marketing lies. I'm amazed ther... | |
| The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam? Anyone who believes power cords change sound, or anything beyond the cheapest 12 AWG OFC cables you can find change sound, are also scammers. Or not really audiophiles. Or both. | |
| Send in the Clowns If it wasn't a tube amp, then it doesn't matter. It will sound the same as every other amp ever made. Clown. | |
| Vinyl sounds better (shots fired) Kind of lame since it's totally subjective. Vynil introduces a level of distortion that is pleasing to the ears of many, whereas other people prefer otherwise. Shots fired? Ok. That's like saying country music is better than rap. It's just prefere... | |
| Upscale Audio is up front with customers Newflash: A/V stores that try to sell you power cords, esp. at $5000, are not "really up front and honest." They are part of the snake oil scum that's destroying this hobby. Educate yourself before falling victim to BS marketing, and those who per... | |
| AC Power Anyone who says you need to do anything with your power (upgrade power cords, power conditioning, etc.) to change or improve your sound is lying, or ignorant. It's as simple as that. | |
| Fine tuning the system. Where do you start and how do you proceed ? Don't change power cables because doing so well do NOTHING to the sound. It's fake news. And if you've got 12AWG OFC cables, no amount of money can but any cables that will ever sound better, or different. Again, it's all marketing. All of it. Any... | |
| WHICH POWER CONDITIONER IS BETTER PASSIVE OR ACTIVE WITH ISOLATION TRANSFORMERS Power conditioning will not help sound. If anything, it'll be a limiter to your speaker cables. | |
| I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring You're playing a fool's game. Put the snake oil down and start working with science and objective facts. Your expensive cables have not improved your sound at all. At. All. Changing out internal wires will also do nothing. Shame on people here w... | |
| What's the weakest link in my stereo set up? I live in a townhome, so limited on space. Ignore any of these people recommending something as ridiculous as upgraded cables and power cords. Back here in reality, where science triumphs over snake oil marketing, I think you should start by looking at your room acoustics before buying an... | |
| Power cables and power conditioners Your power cords don't affect sound. At all. Scientific fact. |
