| Revisiting the Kimber KCAG I own the Au24 speaker cables as my reference, so I borrowed some of the interconnect to try, but it couldn't dethrone my reference, though it was very nice in its own right, maybe the best of the rest I've had in here. The cable I'm sold on is va... | |
| The Clever Little Sharp I CLEARLY have said over and over again that I expected nothing. I was hoping for nothing. I thought the clock was bull.Sure, sure. That's why you then went and bought a clock --but not even the clock in question -- because you thought it was "bul... | |

| The Clever Little Sharp Tgun5: Your appeals to supposed exceptionalism (the "gifted listener" paradigm, that I don't know *your* friends, etc., as if somehow you and these people are beyond the limitations and foibles of mere mortals) is simply self-justification for run... | |

| do planar or electrostatic speakers inherently I think this perception, if it's what you mean by "fuller", may have more to do with the radiation patterns of line-sources vs. point-sources, rather than with dynamic drivers vs. planar drivers per se -- provided the panel speakers we are talking... | |
| The Clever Little Sharp Tgun5, there is a very simple and predictable explanation for what you describe. Yourself, your son, and your audiobuddy were all psychologically primed to report some kind of audible change between the two trials, and unconscious logic would dict... | |
| email A. J. Van Den Hul Bummer about the cart...I've dealt with Andre and asked him this same question, and it seems there is no way to communicate directly with vdH HQ in the Netherlands that is provided to the public. | |
| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? I know from experience that neither one of us will have a change of heart as a result of these discussionsI couldn't agree more with that...so I see no point in risking alienation with continued debate...maybe not so much with this, but I concede ... | |
| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? Anecdotal is anecdotal, good bad or indifferent. It's not necessarily a pejorative characterization, but neither is anecdotal testimony (especially when selectively presented) a substitute for plausible explanations, care and scrutiny in auditioni... | |
| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? Selected tools of the determined huckster:1) Claim you're misunderstood2) Claim there's an agenda against you3) Claim there's an agenda against "new knowledge" or "poorly understood phenomena"4) Claim outside forces would "rip you off" if given th... | |
| Balanced power compatabilty census Darkmo: That last comment I think warrants some elaboration -- my components (except power amps, which don't get the balanced AC) that go on semi-powered standby as well as those that turn all the way off seem to behave the same (meaning the way y... | |
| Balanced power compatabilty census I'd research the forum archives to see what you can find on this subject (and look for contributions written by Sean). | |
| Balanced power compatabilty census I use an API Power Wedge Ultra 116 with my front end stuff (it follows an ExactPower EP-15 used for waveform/voltage correction). The PWU provides separate center-tapped isolation transformers for each of its 6 outlets, with switches that allow yo... | |
| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? Yep Tom, "Orgonomy" is crackpotism, so I'm a book-burnin' wire-tappin', false-imprisoner. I don't go for astrology or crop circles either, and I step on cracks in the sidewalk -- hell, I don't even play the lottery -- just call me a megalomaniacal... |
