| What Power Amplifier Should I Buy? Buckeye Purifi. Objectively one of the best amps on the market, and without the snake oil markup. | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. I hope the future of audiophiles is science and not snake oil. How I long for the day where people don't think expensive cables and power cords matter. Because they don't. | |
| Snake River Audio Power Cables - Best Unboxing This is hilarious. The company took the term 'snake oil' and incorporated it into their marketing. And people are still falling for it. Unbelievable. | |
| Transparent Audio power cords We're still doing this 'power cords matter' thing, huh? Fun. | |
| Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs Stay away from snake oil opinions and fall back on science and objective facts. Get cheap 12AWG OFC cables; nothing else you buy will sound better. In fact, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a $5k cable and a coat hanger. | |
| critique my setup -- weak link? best way to improve? Don't listen to people telling you to "upgrade" those cables. They don't believe in science and quantifiable facts. You're 12AWG is way more than enough as long as it's simple OFC. No cable will ever sound better. | |
| Unplated copper spades/banana Gold doesn't do anything but slow down corrosion vs. copper, so unless you're putting them outside in the wet Florida air for a few years, there's no point in spending more. | |

| Transparent Audio power cords Newsflash: power cords won't change the sound. | |

| Receiver Denon A1H. Hands down. | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? There are no such thing as 'musical' subs. They are either capable or incapable. | |
| End of a long quest to vanquish sibilance. I wonder how many people suggested you buy expensive speaker cables or power conditioners. Glad you were able to wide through the snake oil. | |
| Amps that don’t impersonate space heaters. Any.of today's Class D amps. Try Buckeye Purifi. | |
| Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs $2000 for 3M cables? Come on, man. Put down the snake oil and join the science team, where quantifiable facts matter. Get some 12AWG OFC speaker wire and be done with it. Then spend the remaining $1900 on some upgrades that might actually do somet... |
