| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... @markwd In any case, I have a BSEE and MSEE in information theory and signal processing, as well as PhD work in cognitive science What a coincidence!

| About ready to give up on Roon and my streamer cooper52 OP Things begin to fall apart at about the frequencies where vocals live. Here the sound becomes glassy, occasionally shrill, and more forward than it should be. High frequencies generally (like violins, flutes, etc.) can be piercing, a... | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers @jonwolfpell +1 Everything wiggles and vibrates. Let’s see how engineers measure this. And predict its movements and outcomes. And then prove it. - - - - Tube-rolling = same specs = different materials/construction = different SQ. Capacitors =... | |
| can subwoofers make things worse? atmasphere The way room correction works is its an active EQ device that compares the incoming signal to what it hears happening in the room. This might be done with a test signal. So at that point if there is a dip, the room correction simply ... | |
| McCormack DNA 0.5 vs. DNA 2.0 Deluxe Qobuz & Tidal = CD quality = 14,100 kbps Spotify Premium = 320 kbps (less than 25% of CD quality) | |
| SST Son Of Ampzilla II vs Parasound A21 or A23+ @brianlucey Congratulations! Since Magnus Audio’s parent company is Canary Audio, they know their way around voicing both tubes & SS. That’s why I suggested it on your other thread. Years ago, when I decided to replace my Class A 50w tube mo... | |

| Need Help With Building DIY Grounding Cable You might want to post this question at DIYaudio.com. Also, I recommend building two separate ground boxes - one for analog, one for digital. Surprisingly, I discovered that even the ground wires can pass along digital nasties to analog. Whe... | |

| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? @texbychoice Jack Bybee's work as a physicist would be an example cable/circuit research for military use. Bybee’s first commercial products emerged from Cold War-era military-industrial research. The stealthy shadow contest of nuclear submarin... | |
| Some observations from a former skeptic - and a question OP: Look what you’ve done. Unleashed the night of the living dead. Skeptics, naysayers, flat-earthers, cable-deniers are all on the loose. Be careful - they’re armed with calipers, multimeters and pocket protectors. They just keep coming. How do w... | |
| Is it possible a 20 amp outlet can make a big difference in SQ? @carlsbad2 You mistake the difference between electrical safety and audiophile sound. No mistake. I’ve been working with heavy load electricity on a regular basis since 1977, the first time I tied into a 400 amp commercial panel. I’ve got 2... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? You’ve made yourself very clear. You’d be embarrassed if you knew how clearly you communicate. Ouch!!! _ _ _ _ _ - He lumps all audiophiles together - like the Borg in Star Trek. Not as independent thinkers with successful careers - who, as m... |
