| An EXPERIMENT for those who have never heard differences in cables "I never claimed that this works as good or better than expensive cables"I was not trying to be sarcastic. Perhaps I'm a little lost on the intent of the post. It seemed like an opportunity upgrade sound at a lower price point. Or perhaps I did mi... | |
| Crutchfield's Speaker Compare Right or wrong, I think this highlights a situation we all face. Speaker comparisons. Especially as you move toward the higher end. I was in the market for some good audiophile speakers. I bought Revel Salon 2's and I am very happy with them. But ... | |
| Unknown wood on B&W 802 series 80 From your pictures it looks like someone did a pretty good job on them. I would prefer something closer to book matched, however, for $750, if the functionally is good, I think you made a great deal. | |
| An EXPERIMENT for those who have never heard differences in cables I have not heard about this setup. So as cheap as this is, and if it works as good or better than expensive cable, do you think higher end cables may take a hit in sales? Or would those companies offer their own line of magnet wires? And if they... | |
| I think some cables are just a little too expensive. I would hate to think reputable cable companies would try to fool us into thinking we can get a lot better sound if we spend a lot more money. So I did spend a lot more money on my cables because they sounded much more neutral, however with a slig... | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? Do they still put batteries in cable? I know that was very popular at one time. | |
| Brands that have the least depreciation I've had good luck with McIntosh over the years. It doesn't make it better than some of the other brands. I also don't think McIntosh sales are really driven as much by advertising as history. It's a brand that has been out since the 40's. Over th... | |
| Audioquest Dragon Powercord vs Hurricane Sorry, I thought you may pick up on the sarcasm. Black or white, easy to understand statements are much more clear to many people. If I said "McIntosh sucked or did not suck" it would just be my opinion on a very popular amp. Since you asked, (sub... | |
| Does anybody change their speaker placement with different types of music and bands? It's a good question. I have tweaked my speaker placement to get the best overall sound for different types of music and I'm not going to move them anytime soon. They are Salon 2's. So, I guess some of it may depend on the speakers you have (books... | |
| Audioquest Dragon Powercord vs Hurricane "McIntosh amps go from old solid-state sound (which we all know is wrong)." Wow! When information like gets gets out it scary. I fear based on this absolute, subjective, knowledge, you really have let the cat out of the bag. However, the ability t... | |
| A little History lesson on, "High- End" cables: atom1 Audiophile meeting Such a great spoof. However, it captures the truth so well. High end cable companies are perfectly setup to capitalize on subjective, facts. Like fashion, cable companies will continue to improve their wire. Cables d... | |
| The Physics of Electricity I know there is difference between a Sony receiver and Krell FPB amplifier Be careful what you compare to try and draw a valid conclusion on something else. I know there is a difference between a Yugo and a Lamborghini. Means nothing abo... | |
| 1973 I remember playing my dads stereo (when my parents were away).Mountain, Uriah Heep, The Who, and Led Zeppelin. Pioneer speakers that doubled as plant stands for my mom. | |
| My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon ahofer145 But I wouldn’t ban anyone for it. Everyone talks book. Everyone. So their book should be visible. Couldn't have said it better myself. | |
| 1973 I remember putting a nickel on top of my turntable cartridge to keep the needle from skipping. Toward the end of the table's life, it was up to 30 cents (nickel and quarter, or 3 nickels and a dime). |
