| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? 4) On the other hand, people should not make claims about the hearing capabilities of other people. If multiple people subjectively can describe parameters of a component that can’t be supported by measurements (yet) it should be taken as a starti... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? 1) It is a good thing that measurements can inspire companies to bring the performance up to a higher level. Consumers should be taken seriously. 2) We listen to sound that is generated by components who work on rectified, filtered, stabilized, m... | |
| Couple of OCC Speaker Cable Options Neotech nemos 3080 and Ramm Amadeus mk5 should be on your list. | |
| What is Your End Game System? Unleashing the beast is sometimes more important than a perfect room with golden ratios and treatment. I am happy that my current house is free standing and no neighbours to complain. Nothing beats +90db of Gojira 🤘 | |
| What is Your End Game System? My endgame system would be Linn Klimax DSM Organik with aktiv exakt into Hegel amps powering Blade One meta. In a custom build room.. And a second system with MBL speakers. Nordost Odin cables everywhere. A custom build room would be a great star... | |
| Cables to Add Brightness Don't forget Siltech & Crystal cables. +1 audioman58. Connectors are overlooked most of the times. I can concur the 10% uptick in sound quality by swapping or just skipping connectors (hard-wiring). | |
| Does creating a loom in cables in a system make a significant difference? Maybe you are correct. Distortions is not the right word. Every cable is losing some musical information. But if the loom is losing information at only one point (for example detail) it maybe will sound better at the end instead of losing informat... | |
| Does creating a loom in cables in a system make a significant difference? Maybe the loom theory (next to sales) is to have cables with the same design principles and therefore the same kind of enhancements/or lack of distortions. Mixing cables can introduce distortions with different kind of parameters that can bring do... | |
| Why Rhodium? I use Oyaide C-004 on IEC and Viborg Silver/Rhodium on Schuko in my system. My observations is that the plugs not only have an effect on the frequency repons (less warm, more neutral) but also on the time domain. The hard metals don't have the "so... | |
| Supra Cat 8 Ethernet cable Ethernet cabling has an effect on the performance of your system. Leakage currents and the radiation of the cable are the problems. When the shield is connected at both sides (in theory a good thing, when the shield is tied to the chassis and not ... | |
| RCA Interconnect screen side That is also correct and a viable option to test. Or, if you go wild..😁 You could try the JSSG (360) method. You can Google it, but the simple explanation is a floating shield where the endpoints are connected to each other with a small drain wir... | |
| RCA Interconnect screen side General consensus is to attach the screen at the source. But you are correct for your type of connection. The best point for the shield is the path with the lowest impedance to ground. Ideally you should test it with some screw type rca connec... | |
| What difference do power cables make? My observations of better power (cabling) results in: - Less EMI: more body and texture, sound appears more effortless in general, less choked. - Less RFI: Clearer sound, less strident, blacker background, better detail, less fatigue - General:... | |
| Fake Audiophiles The real audiophile is last one standing after debunking all the others in semi technical discussions and calling them dumb/ignorant/fake etc... It is a pissing contest for vulnarable ego's that scream "listen to me" | |
| High current power cables Kijanki is right. Consider also, other, reasons why good power cables are beneficial for audio. Lower (contact) resistance for example, quicker rise times when pulling current from the net, less cross-contamination (EMI & RFI) by shielding or ... |
