| Do you believe in Magic? Bryoncunningham, you say "I respectfully disagree with you, Tbg, that we all need to agree on where to locate the line between what is plausible and implausible. That is partly because, as Al points out, the line is subjective, debatable, and impr... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Almarg, I always tense when "common sense" is mentioned. It is exceedingly unscientific. Everybody knows man cannot fly, etc. I am decidedly unscientific when it comes to audio. I merely have to please myself. It is like wine, women, and song, jus... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? I should note that many fear patents only alert others as to an improvement and are easily worked around. I'm sure that patent attorneys would say that is because their services have not been used, adding of course great additional expense. I know... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Almarg, the only real question is do we all agree as to what is implausible and on how implausible it needs to be to be rejected a priori. EEs seem to have a lower level of implausible, probably as that is their training. The contrast between my u... | |
| World's BEST ac outlets.......Maestro outlets Agisthos, high copper content is quality brass, which is what is in the Hubbell 5362. | |
| How important is an audio rack? Jaxwired, to say there is no impact of racks is ridiculous, but I agree that to spend more on the rack than the speakers is ill advised. | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Mrtennis, what you call the " placebo effect" works both ways. I you don't want to hear a benefit, you won't. Also you know that it is so powerful that people actually get benefit from placebos. I also think the effects are binary. Some tweaks hav... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Sabai, there are substantial variation in the sciences in instrumentation as well as in being able to do experiments that give information on causality. Double blind testing, especially in audio, is an invalid methodology as the indicator is not a... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Sabai, you say, "based on empirical truth, not on scientific evidence." This is the weirdest thought I have ever heard. Good science revolves around empirical evidence. Occasionally, that evidence upsets the paradigm that has been developed based ... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Focalfan, sorry I cannot agree with you about any of this. Good luck. | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Bryoncunningham, I think you are right about science ultimately getting it right, but also scientists have interest as well as pressure to publish. Most would not really devote time to why some cables sound better. Why quartz in some place improve... | |
| World's BEST ac outlets.......Maestro outlets Hifisoundguy, I have no interest in starting a new thread; anything but. This is because I know full well that people value different aspects of music reproduction, have different rooms, and certainly have different equipment. I post only to share... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Focalfan, I still think very highly of the Tidals and their ceramic drivers. I know people's whose ears I respect who hear the sound of ceramic drivers. I don't. But I do on other ceramic driver speakers. I have thought about selling my Tidals, ho... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Ted, I am very happy to hear about the fuses. Are you starting with top quality fuses before using the Tesla coil? | |
| How important is an audio rack? Let me rephrase the question. How important is vibration control? I would answer that it is one of the most important things you can do for your sound. I am one who started my audio experiencing with my equipment on 1 x 6" planks using cinder bloc... |
