| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable I would never have agreed to go back on the ’spend more/pray for good results" merry go round if I had not heard truly remarkable differences when the cables in question in place and not been fooled in the double-blind testing when they were not.... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Science is not a religion. That's ridiculous. Well, yes, idealistically, it is not a religion. A bazillion caveats that require a near insurmountable level of wariness and vigilance to avoid the trap of the human carrier.The problem with scienc... | |
| KEF 107 and Kube setup Kef 107’s are generally, well..invariably in need of service. It’s simply an age factor. all of that series of Kef’s are in that age bracket. The 104/2, the reference 102,and so on. All are getting to be in desperate shape, if all original and uns... | |
| Sound of cables breaking in? That’s a modification of standard conductivity. The liquid metal is truly a new method. The math and the theory of liquid metal conductivity is so complex and involves so many phenomena that it is unsolved by science. Science is still defining and... | |
| Sound of cables breaking in? Note: Do not use a cable cooker on Teo Audio cables. Music signal break in only.New technology, new medium for conducting electricity = new rules, new norms -new ways of doing things. | |
| Recapping your amp Recapping loudspeakers is a thing that must be individually assessed in how it is done. Small bypass caps of a film type sometimes works (across electrolytic types), but if the crossover is originally all electrolytic, then the new should also be ... | |
| Recapping your amp Depends on age and thermal stressing. Ie, how hot the capacitors have been throughout their time on this planet.Capacitor wear is primarily a time and temperature issue. When used in pulse power supplies, the max ratings on current or amperage of ... | |

| 2018 exactly what is ‘High End’ audio? High end has gone from searching for low distortion and high quality (longevity, low failure rate, equipment lifespan, etc)..and necessarily into the lext level of concern when those criteria have been conquered.This means moving into the psychoac... | |
| additional processing and customs charges on goldring 1006 or nagaoka mp150 Speed of sound in beryllium and boron is very similar. But boron could be grown around a rod and made into an extremely thin, incredibly stiff, and light pipe. All beryllium cantilevers that I’m aware of are rods. I’ve heard both and prefer pipes... | |
| I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible The left/right signal flick arm end bulb on a Bugatti Veyron is approx $8000 to manufacture, according to the record of the reports. It is a piece of machined metal.I’d wager far more of them (over 400 Veyrons) have been sold than this record clam... | |
| 1978 pioneer sx-980 Scratch that. Some of the prices seem ok. Great place to dig for pricing, though. | |
| I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible Watching these threads is like watching people put a weapon over the fence and take out their friendly and likeable neighbors, as they feel helpless in the face of a $100 trillion and more mess of a global psychopathic regime that they individuall... | |
