| TT rumble versus "oscillation": what's the difference? I only get woofer pumping with a handful of warped records in my collection/system. The low cut filter in my Luxman EQ-500 works wonderfully in these rare instances to virtually eliminate cone flap. I believe it starts gradually rolling down outpu... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @guakus It's nice to see we are finding common ground to agree on. You are exactly correct in that what I have heard only applies to gear in my system...as well as through my ears. How your system and gear swaps within would sound to me (let al... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope What intrigues me is that a person can claim to hear the difference between speakers and amps, but magically can't hear the difference between cables? It's just tribal nonsense. I definitely can hear differences between speakers and amps, and o... | |
| Poor Customer Service @tsushima1 Yes....those were Tekton experiences | |
| SUT Advice - Which Ones Are The Best? @itsjustme Excellent points! | |
| Poor Customer Service @tsushima1 Indeed frustrating. There are reasons forum members are cautious about naming brands and giving specifics because of the responses that it may draw. It gets viewed as a lose/lose proposition because you get slammed if you give details ... | |
| Poor Customer Service There are definitely no supply chain issues involved when a manufacturer can't even respond to emails - ever. Most of the bad behaviors we see today by vendors with poor customer service were the same bad actors pre-pandemic as well. And the exe... | |
| shielded vs unshielded pros and cons? Shielded cables have been an absolute necessity in my systems between SUT and phono pre. | |
| why do so many discussions turn contentious? Exactly @frogman. There's been a number of posts in this thread alone thrown in that are clearly bait to get confrontational. I refuse to take the bait. I won't provide the fuel. | |
| SUT Advice - Which Ones Are The Best? I think in a perfect world @rauliruegas is correct...the goal is to simplify the signal path and not add a SUT if at all possible. The problem is that unless you're using a top-tier SUT there is a good chance that a quality SUT combined with the M... | |
| Audiophile Priorities and Recent Topics @lemonhaze I'm sure there are a large number of experienced members who seldom post now because of all the vitriol spewed around. It never used to be like this , I remember avidly reading new posts of interest and looking forward to the next Thur... | |
| Which amp would you choose and why - Pass Labs XA-25 or First Watt F8? @ghdprentice +1Completely agree and I have had several examples just in my own house. My Leben 15w CS-300xs sounds substantially better than a Cary SLI-80HS (80 watts ultralinear) with my Forte III’s. The Leben also far outperforms my 30w Sudgen A... | |
| why do so many discussions turn contentious? @danager I was referring to @tsushima1 's latest post. | |
| IsoAcoustics - A Class Act Very nice. Solid customer service goes such a long way towards establishing and maintaining a brand & products. I always try to go out of my way to support vendors who respond to issues and inquiries quickly. I hear about quite a few vendor... | |
| why do so many discussions turn contentious? @tsushima1 +2 on the observation. The board's demeanor is starting to trend friendly ;-) |
