| What is it what we hear when we swap cables? "That's the problem. At our present level of understanding we have no really useful set of principles on which to base performance”. I didn't say that I have a problem, nor a clue. I am just sharing some observations and hope other audiophiles sha... | |
| Tweaks that work? (yes very subjective topic) Tweaks that worked for me were. 1) dedicated line of 20A on separate phase 2) star wired distribution block. 3) high end receptables and iec connectors Oyaide C004 4) neotech power cables 5) master base under all my equipment 5) audioquest sorboth... | |
| stand-mount speakers for classical music Classical music sounds great on omnidirectional speakers like Duevel Bella Luna, Geman Physiks Unlimited or MBL 126. You can "see" and pinpoint each section of the orchestra when setup well. | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present "tantejuut you the man! 👍💐". Yeah..let's all hug our inner dude 🤡.Elac Concerto series are also nice if you dig the egg shape 🥚. Raidho or Scansonic M6 should also be auditioned if you like the airy sound of ribbons tweeters. I was blown away b... | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present Tekton, Klipsch, Blumenhofer and Audio Note should be on the top of your list 😁Magico, Estelon, Piega, Focal, Linn are good looking speakers with decent sound. | |
| DAC/Pre-Amp Upgrade, R2R or Delta Sigma? Good recommendations. Chord and Denafrips. Some people say R2R sounds more natural, musical with better transient response, and Delta Sigma more precise, spatial with less distortion. Good tip, using your ears and not your eyes. I thought this was... | |
| If Audiophiles care about sound, then why so few threads on acoustics Audiophiles have to make compromises when they have a better half. It can be difficult enough to get a decent symmetry for your speakers in a living room. A lot of absorbers and diffusers just look plain ugly. And people don't have the knowledge o... | |
| Favorite reviewer? I always have a soft spot for the german reviews. ”absolute spitzenklasse" , "ganz herrliche tiefbass", "klar, knackig und sonor mit spielfreude". I don’t like pedantic reviewers and anal types in general. Down to earth reviews with technical back... | |
| Feeling Tweaky yes, keep em high & dry....hellloooo ;) p.s. with the right directionality of course..... | |
| Bulk XLR cable recommendations Van Damme Tour Grade Classic XKE Starquad. XLPE insulation, low dielectric constant, OFC copper with a few silver plated strands for sparkle, star quad geometry with high noise reduction capabilities. Budget friendly. Grimm TPR is also very good f... | |
| Feeling Tweaky I use sorbothane under my cables only to reduce microphonics from the cabinet. I never use it under equipment because it can alter the transient response. Hard and soft materials are both usefull in audio. I have used all kind of cones under my e... | |

| Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed! Your electrician needs education. Reduction of (contact) resistance & noise from separation of other household equipment is easy to hear. If you can’t hear the difference, you are a lousy audiophile . It is just a defensive reaction. | |
| Vivid Audio alternatives Estelon sounds fenomenal. It's on the Magico, YG Acoustics, Avalon level. Do your homework "audiophile". Bulky equipment is for nerdy singles with bad taste. | |
| 15 ft XLR thoughts (BJC/Mogami etc) Canare and Mogami are used a lot in studios. I would check van Damme tour grade starquad or Grimm TPR for 15 ft. XLR. Both are excellent. |
