| How come a power cable changes the sound? Redkiwi:Thank you. Perhaps we should both apologize. If there becomes convincing proof, I would want to, no, have to, find a tangible way for me to accept it. For if the change is in fact real, then it should also be apparent under controlled cond... | |
| "Burn in" Are you serious? Bmpnyc:What I trust is my hearing and my mind. Feelings can undermine the evaluative process considerably. I've done the cable comparison many times with variously priced wire. New on trial and well-aged loans from curious and cooperative friends.... | |
| How come a power cable changes the sound? Remember your above words regarding insults.// Smart questions more often tend to have that very same effect.// If you hear it, does it matter to you if it's really there? | |
| "Burn in" Are you serious? Redkiwi: We're not talking complete systems here. But rather the supposedly perceived subtle manipulations of individual pieces.// Yes, but a video of a duck meets all of those criteria and yet is not a duck. As to denying "burn in",as implied bef... | |
| How come a power cable changes the sound? Power cable? Another wire mythology? Dtf, I think you're on to something. Question: Who said power cables change the sound? I remember reading of an audio writer at one of the audio shows. He asked a well known cable carnival man how his multi-hun... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Khrys; I have to agree re anything Kenny G. Thanks to your second sentence, I almost fell off my chair. Not since Clinton's testimony have I laughed so hard.(I think). | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music A question too difficult to answer. But I'll list a few: Middle and Late Beethoven quartets; Mahler and Bruckner adagios (adagietos); Wagner Tristan and Isolde; Schubert and Brahms Lieder; Sibelius 6 and 7, certainly the Barber adagio; Sibelius an... | |
| "Burn in" Are you serious? No Redkiwi, we actually do live in the same world. Perhaps that's the fundamental issue. We don't see reality in the same way. But that's ok. And why would only "new" equipment change over time. Robba used a turn of phrase which, I think, hits the... | |
| "Burn in" Are you serious? Whether or not "burn in" is subjectively valid is for the individual to decide for him/her-self. I've never seen any objective proof for this claim and I would find it difficult (but not impossible) to believe that any respondent here has done suf... | |
| DO AUDIOPHILES EVER LISTEN TO MUSIC? Thanks Frogman. As you might glean from my nom de e-mail, I know well of the obsessions of musicians. Objectivity is sometimes difficult to come by in that profession. Many musicians I have known have extensive collections of (whichever is appropr... | |
| DO AUDIOPHILES EVER LISTEN TO MUSIC? I've become so obsessed with equipment that I now divide my listening time exclusively between frequency sweeps and pink noise. I grew tired of white noise years ago. Seriously, I have suggested that if you're still able to get into a piece of mus... | |
| "The Audio Critic" B.S. or what? John 1: Sounds like you're having fun. Great! I don't think that I'd characterize TAC as being uniquely contrarian. E.g., search out issues of the AES journal or the erstwhile AUDIO magazine. In Audio you will find occasional forays into serious a... | |
| "The Audio Critic" B.S. or what? John 1: Respectfully, I suggest that it's difficult to grow when we limit ourselves to those in agreement with us. There is occasional emotion within the pages of TAC. Much of it, I believe, is engendered by frustration with the deception which is... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals ROBBA & TUBEGROOVER; thanks for your kind words. | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Mfgrep: I'm sorry that I wasn't specific. The thoughts are for all. But you can consider it a continuatiuon of our discussion. The last 4 sentences were not addressed to you specifically. Just some general comments about my personal attitudes. |
