| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? @steakster Excellent examples of experts. My background is Military electronics so very familiar with the high level of expertise required in various situations. That world certainly offers lessons applicable to audio. Even in Military applicati... | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? @polkalover Broad generalizations such as you promote are not universally true. In many situations a power cable change makes little difference because the are problems or performance limitations in other parts of the system. As another post des... | |
| Interesting video on cables Thumbs UP for any Denafrips DAC. The video makes a few points all participating in the Audio Hobby should take seriously. A general message is that technical knowledge does not make one a subject matter expert for all things. Clearly the two ca... | |
| Two questions to make you mad. @donavabdear Glad you found items that made a difference. Our Audio Hobby can be a never ending journey of different equipment and tweaks. If we could all start with stable and clean AC that would be a great start to eliminate one variable. Stand... | |
| Two questions to make you mad. Was the difference worth the cost for you? Only you can answer that question. Same for every other individual that is inclined to be frugal or go big $ with their system. Broad generalized statements that cables make a huge difference or can't ... | |
| Two questions to make you mad. @donavabdear Really? Your agenda is revealed. Paint a completely ridiculous scenario with no connection to audio so you can then justify a conclusion based on nothing factual. You want to discuss the merits of various cables used in the audio h... | |
| Two questions to make you mad. @donavabdear The ASML system must be accurate and precise. There is far more complexity involved in that machine that has nothing to do with cables. Semiconductor fabrication does not hinge on cables as you want to argue. Intel production proble... | |
| Two questions to make you mad. #1 No logical comparison or correlation between the ASML system operation and home audio. There will be a long list of installation requirements from ASML that must be met to achieve proper performance, cable being a minor factor. Implying that ... | |
| Help settle a streaming argument! Hans B. has several videos discussing digital signals and potential pitfalls. He makes a point frequently overlooked. Digital, 1s and 0s, are generated as an analog square wave. Timing stability is one of the important factors for any "Digital"... | |
| You Can Get Rich From 'Snake Oil'! @larsman Audio is a hobby, not worthy of all the manufactured righteous indignation. Expend your energy on something that actually matters. | |
| You Can Get Rich From 'Snake Oil'! The MoFi lawsuit is a perfect example of the ambulance chasing mentality far to common in the legal profession. The widespread "hurt feelings" mentality deserving of "justice" also to blame. Did MoFi supply a defective product? NO. Did MoFi cau... | |
| Power conditioners and power regeneration Been at this hobby for a long time trying all kinds of "improvements". Other than protection from power surges, never thought much about power conditioning. After all, each piece of gear powered by AC includes filtering to clean up the AC. Wh... | |
| Does it make sense to "ignore low ball offers"? There is no point in adding "lowball offers will be ignored" to a listing other than being a bit snooty. Just ignore any offer the seller considers unacceptable. As far as following an unwritten code, lowball offers are no different than unreali... | |
| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? My posts were there against the idiotic claims and prejudices expressed here against chinese culture... The CCP is NOT chinese culture...The nazi nor the soviet were german and russian culture... @mahgister You are the one that erroneously confla... | |
| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? Remember all, that was the original question. Not does China have a long and rich history. Not a question even remotely connected to the entire population of China. Not a question rel... |
