| Why do many discussions about sonic performance disintegrate into technical discusions? I addressed your first paragraph by noting sexist discrimination and cultural issues that contribute to your "it's a fact" statement, and the second paragraph does't apply to anything I've said although maybe that wasn't aimed at my comment…I welc... | |
| Why do many discussions about sonic performance disintegrate into technical discusions? People write what they know from experience…shocking! Also, I’m not sure if a car analogy (in which I’ve indulged as I want people to know how sophisticated and cool I am) actually works as cars have design absolutes that can be easily tested, alt... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Ka-Ching! I'd like a report on sales of this stuff after 4 or 8 weeks as I'm planning to hype a tweak soon to cash in on the "post many paragraphs of hyperbole and SELL SELL SELL" phenomena. It's legal, nobody minds a scam in the name of "More Hif... | |
| How do SVS subwoofers compare to REL? Well, lucky for you I haven’t made my all encompassing declaration yet…I simply am noting the fact that woofers get the same signal and respond at exactly the same time as main drivers regardless of the material they’re made of…there’s been talk o... | |
| How do SVS subwoofers compare to REL? Woofer "speed" is a silly term that should be declared useless as it exists only in the minds of lazy reviewers and Bo. I use 2 RELs I bought at different times…both from the same era I think, and both cost around 200 bucks each used on Ebay. A hi... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic The degree that interconnects lose their ability to conduct signal by unplugging them and plugging them back in would be laughably tiny, if it exists at all. Statement of absolutes by Geoffkaitty are often amusing and generally wrong, and although... | |
| Impressions of the Re-issued Genalex Gold Lion U77/GZ34 Rectifier Tube I think Geoffkait was the "O" ring inspector. | |
| A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ? I've owned Toyotas and BMWs (my red '75 FJ40…man…), and to say Toyota is anything but a brilliant company that's been around forever is strange. Ever drive a BRZ? I have. Costs a fraction of anything BMW makes, and although I don't own one I appre... | |
| Anyone Using Crystals? Hey now! Geoffkait scored a customer! Isn't that worthy of noting? I, for one, do not wish to know where people are sticking their crystals…it's simply none of my business. | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic And I thought a trigger warning would suffice in an effort to shelter the sensitive among us. My little blurbs of dissent (tempered with what perhaps only I find humorous…I try) regarding overselling faith based tweaks will only be encouraged by a... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Trigger warning for those who's insecurities and adorable child-like sensitivity to certain posts send them into rage or a coma: To save some money (although this would take some time) I suggest soldering every single cable contact point, includi... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Respectfully (!), Donny McCaslin will be at the Village Vanguard later this month (and so will I) and you can ask him about the forehead experiment. He’s gonna deny it ever happened. Also, "There certainly has been evidence offered here that the p... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic My case is made for me all over this thread, and for that I'm eternally grateful. | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. I don't pay the the big bucks to my preamp (which has a passive mode) to be passive. I want it to opine on everything I put through it. Besides, it cost nearly 700 clams (Schiit Freya). Actual clams…weirdly. Also…the "Absolute Sound" is up to you ... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic HIfiman5…Naturally I’ve also used tweaks to some benefit in my rig, but pretty much everything has had some logical (to me anyway) and reasonable justification…for example, I prefer de-coupling speakers from my wood floors, and I use a carefully c... |
