| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? The first power cord that I ever made I thought made a bigger difference than an Acrotec 6 nines power cord that I thought didn't make much difference. Based on the pseudoscience (voodoo) of the time, It's braided of 18 gauge stranded wires. I do... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? When you hear live music you know what it sounds like, right? When your equipment can make you believe that you hear real instruments and voices, that's more musical. Example: say you're visiting someone or place for the first time, walking upsta... | |
| Entry CD player question? Well, not so much to suggest a machine as to show what some recent affordable players ' interiors look like. I was helping a friend out by putting together an audio system for a lakefront home that he and his significant other purchased to eventu... | |
| Does a record player make that much of a difference?? I believe(for the most part) in Ivor Tiefebrun's maxim; Basically, if you don't get the information off the source, Lp Cd, etc., you cannot make up for it downstream. In a turntable, it's the turntable first, then the arm, and finally the cartrid... | |
| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. It's a made up term. It is simply people who enjoy listening to music where the equipment is an important part of the experience that hopefully improves their enjoyment of it, but for some, it's a never ending chase to improve that end and that e... | |
| CD Transport I have not seen/heard the Primare or the Audiolab, but if you're talking about the TEAC VRDS-701T CD Transport, yes I have heard it and other Teac models that you can also connect a master clock generator that surprisingly makes an audible improve... | |
| Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby? I pretty much agree with @secretguy ; "Pay no attention to forums like this." But I’ll still throw in my two cents, don’t get hung up on finding the best equipment at a specific price point. Audition equipment before you buy. I know that in some ... | |
| All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong Well, you seem to have made your mind up on the subject. Are you trying to assemble a pre 70 audio system or just or just arguing your point of view for the sake of arguing with the Audiogon collective? I'm curious why it matters to you? | |
| And while I'm asking, has anyone modified Sony ss-cs5 speakers with a GR Research kit? (jim2) Still have not seen a single review from a customer on Gr update for the Sony's so let the people know when you're finished with them and run them through their paces. Don't get me wrong about Danny, I have spoken with him and an employ... | |
| Looking for a Warmer Sounding Phono Cartridge Fremer is fun to read but I don’t use his recommendations at all. He gets a lot of stuff wrong and his somewhat of a meltdown on the Mofi One Steps and his twenty years late review on electrical service (like he discovered Xanadu) coming into the ... | |
| Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts? Well, you obviously had some thoughts about what you were purchasing right? If you're happy with the equipment and feel the price was right then that's all that really matters and not what I or anyone else thinks. Personally, I never make a purc... | |
| Jay's "Ugly Truth" video Ugh! So this is what has become of discourse on Audiogon? This guy? I couldn't watch 60 seconds of this doofus. Who cares, more importantly though, why do you care about this guy or 99.99% of the drivel on YouTube? | |
| Costliest Brainfart Pulled an NYAL Minuet in A preamp out of storage where it was for over a decade and installed it in my system. I remembered that it had some issue with one of its channels. It was a Saturday morning and I turned it and the system and went to the... | |
| How serious are you? From an 8-9 to a 5 I started in this hobby forty plus years ago when I realized that their was this whole other approach to audio than the Pioneer, Technics, Teac, Bose Altec, products that dealers around me sold. And it happened when my older b... | |
| Who has the Sickness, the Phile or the Non-phile? And sometimes an audiophile doesn't know that they're an audiophile. Growing up, one of my friends in grade/ high school's dad was a stockbroker. I think that he was earning a six figure income in 1968. Certainly had the toys, but one thing I r... |
