Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused
OP: This is your first post on AudiogoN. The subtext is: You know more. Audiophiles know less. Quite an interesting way to introduce yourself to the community. Very Hollywood.  LOL.    
Adding a sub. - can i start with one?
snapsc One more thing, if the sub is really going to be crossed 60hz or below, remember that there isn’t a heck of a lot of tone being created down there...its mostly grunts and groans and booms and ambience . . .   Totally disagree. You just... 
Nordost Cable Listed in Order of Importance
My list: #1. All power cords. No matter where located. #2. Digital cables #3. Umbilical cords between the LPS & the component. #4. Interconnects. #5. Speaker cables. Ultimately, they’re all important. Everything matters in a high resolut... 
2019 Mac Pro vs. Roon
yage Also, don't worry much about cables or boxes that regenerate signals (unless you have to run USB cable longer than 5 meters) True.  Unless you wish to improve the sound quality.  
Basic switch....should I upgrade?
Audiosciencereview doesn‘t listen, measures the wrong things and is frightfully opinionated +1 The best way to demonstrate lack of experience - and lack of understanding of audio component synergy - on an audiophile forum is to cite ASR. It’s ...

What difference do power cables make?
jasonbourne52 = formerly roberjerman (4319 posts) Member since 2016 Reminds me of my college buddy who was on the 6 year graduation track for his BA. Never got the degree. Not sure if he learned anything - but he had a great time.  
Power cords: Kimber Kable Palladium
@maxima95 jasonbourne52 = formerly roberjerman (4319 posts) His modus operandi is to be the first to pounce on a power cord thread. Kind of weird to do it non-stop for 6 years.  
Power Cable Break In - Such a Change!
mrskeptic Second of all, when he says simply bending a wire changes it’s properties and therefore changes how your speakers will sound, he loses all credibility with me.   Bending creates stress that distorts the properties of a material.  T... 
Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord?
raysmtb1 . . . I’m only trying to be a voice for the new people that stumble onto some of this craziness. Interesting. Long-time Audiogon members are trying to do the exact same thing for newbies. Share their knowledge that’s been gained over...

Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs?
audition__audioIn a perfect world all you want to hear is the driver itself and I would like for someone to explain to me how it could be any other way.That’s like saying in a perfect world we would only hear the sound of a vocalist’s larynx - and...
