| Can anyone tell me where the progress in audio went? When you have audiophiles convincing themselves that turntables have magic properties, that tube amplifiers have magic properties, that cables can have magic properties, that digital has bad properties that don't actually exist and a whole host of... | |
| Upgrading Do yourself a favor and get rid of those worthless HFTs. I mean that seriously You are already on the right path with panels, but you have to fix your big issue of a window on one side and a diffuser (media storage) on the other. Return the HFTs a... | |
| Upgrading Struggle? You are projecting @coralkong | |
| Upgrading What possible synergy can there be for two cables fulfilling completely different functions. If you cant explain that then you can't justify a full loom. It is just marketing. Cables would be multiplicative. If they have a signature sounds, that w... | |
| Upgrading Ever notice how the cable deniers almost never have their systems listed? Ever wonder why that is? No I did not notice, because I go on the intelligence of their words. However, now that you mention it, have you ever noticed that cable push... | |
| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement You are at the mercy of the people who designed your equipment @papafrgog. | |
| MoFi controversy @dconsmack you know what the best analog sound sounds like? It sounds exactly the same as digital. That is a fact that audiophiles would be best to accept. Now if what you really want is a bunch of stacked artifacts just saw so. Turntable setu... | |
| Upgrading Unless cable vendors are intentionally screwing with frequency response requiring another of their cables to fix the other ones, then a full loom is not supportable by any logic. | |
| MoFi controversy @sokogear that is just Philelore talking. I can run a DAC off a laptop with an isolator, spend $1,000 on a DAC, and get far more resolution and accuracy then vinyl could ever dream of. That would be true of a $100 DAC too. Yes, true. There is abs... | |
| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement @jea48 , while I agree in principle that an earth ground connection is generally not the cause of noise, it is not always not the cause, and when one considers emitted EMI, it can be critical. The earth ground connection (in theory) holds the meta... | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... @audition__audio were you shocked by the number of parts or their love of non air core inductors? | |
| MoFi controversy @sns with the fragility of older tape, I expect most tapes used to cut the vinyl were a few steps away from the 1st master out of caution and necessity. I have to assume the people who were making the master to the vinyl knew this and may have acc... | |
| MoFi controversy The only thing the DSD transfer will do is remove a generational loss. If they added another analog tape step, there would be more noise, more compression of high level transients, etc. It is as close to the 1st gen master as possible. Then again... | |
| MoFi controversy To my ears, most of the new reissues, including the most famous audiophile brands, sound like digital. Which means exactly what? No one knew. No one was screaming for the last many years that they sounded digital (whatever that means). A big... | |
| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement From Bill Whitlock, (https://www.prosoundweb.com/author/bill-whitlock/) "In reality, most of the reports of fantastic noise reduction attributed to earth ground rods are actually the result of the separation of various ground wires and their... |
