| Another person going digital and full of questions @cat_doorman that’s exactly right, great description, you nailed it! Nice dose of humor too. When starting with digital, one should start it slow, inexpensive, and built from there, once gaining knowledge and familiarity with the sound. And bu... | |
| What difference do power cables make? I tend to believe in electrical and mechanical science. And as with most I to Believe my audio hearing. Confusing (to say the least). Do you “believe” or do you “hear”? Two different things. | |
| Cable curmudgeon Erectal: Memorial Day falls always on a Mondry 😂😂. Every single year https://www.officeholidays.com/holidays/usa/memorial-day | |
| What difference do power cables make? @hilde45 : definitely try room treatments. My room is fully treated with GIK absorption and diffusion (including ceiling). As for the dedicated power lines, I think to me they are a bit overrated. At least for me, and the power situation in my... | |
| Synergistic Research Foundation Cables As an aside, I really wish there was a "mute/ignore" user button on here. Ditto. Probably the most wanted feature in here, but it's not happening. | |
| Focal Sopra, Kanta, Aria I have never owned the 802D. That’s like four generations ago. I own the 803 D3, for about three years now, and they are definitely not bright to me. See my profile for my current gear. Definitely “sparkles” in spades, but not bright. I like spark... | |
| Focal Sopra, Kanta, Aria @audphile1 +1 OP: I realize we all hear differently and prefer different sound. However, I can’t possibly understand how one can describe B&W 802 D4 as “bright”. Very odd | |
| Zavfino Fusion versus Cardas Clear/Refection: anyone compare? These are completely different price levels: Zavfino Fusion is $357 for 1.5 meter pair Cardas Clear Reflection is $1,550 for 1.5 meter pair Five times the Zavfino price. Just a simple observation | |
| Zavfino Fusion versus Cardas Clear/Refection: anyone compare? @hilde45 : do not mind Jason Bourne. He has a very bad habit (or hobby) of being the first poster in any and all cable threads. He pollutes them all, and the first poster, first reply. Always. Very odd behavior for someone that is not interest in ... | |
| Innuos 2.1.0 upgrade Your guess is as good as mine. It will depend on how Beta goes. I get those emails too, but I don't want to deal with a beta headache | |
| Focal Sopra, Kanta, Aria Have you auditioned the new version of your 802s, the B&W 802 D4? You may be very surprised. In a good way | |
| Cable curmudgeon @artemus_5 : Now its a food fight filled with newbies who are no more audiophile than my 7 yr old niece. But they know it all, like I did when I was 17-18. This is 100% correct. Some general / common "treats" of such posters I have observed fr... | |
| Cable curmudgeon I knew the moment I saw the OP where this was going. The OP and the usual names who jumped on the opportunity. These folks are very predictable: These “contrarians” who poo-poo the efficacy of expensive cables often appear in many other forums... | |
| Cable curmudgeon Maybe I missed something: were you asking a question, or just sharing how you have already figured this out? For you AND for all of us | |
| Mad Scientists Audio Nano Tweaks Who is Bob? I have ordered twice from Mad Scientist Audio, and all communication and mail come from Kay Prangnell in New Zealand. By the way, excellent service all around from Kay, I am in US, and the packages have arrived in less than three w... |
