| the magic of power cords Hi Bo,I must admit: I now enjoy your answers much less. You're actually only a braggart, aren't you?Thanks anyway. | |
| the magic of power cords Hi Bobby (Bo), I enjoy your posts very much. You seem to have a good skill for listening.Can you maybe explain - how do you listen to a new, unknown system to guess what is the component that can be upgraded to give best benefit? Without swapping ... | |
| the magic of power cords ... and conversely, if my system is at 60% (my "zero"), Brownsfan improvement of 0.9% (a petty 2.3% in my frame of reference) would make no financial sense to me whatsoever. I'd have to take my system to 80% to perceive the same audible benefit he... | |
| the magic of power cords A bit further on the dynamic ranges... for some of us perhaps "zero" is the current level of the system - whatever that is - and "hundred" would be the live unamplified performance etc..In one previous post (Brownsfan), going from 98.3% to 99.2% m... | |
| the magic of power cords It is a personal experience. However, if we call "zero" the level where there is some loud music coming out of the speakers and "hundred" the live, unamplified symphony orchestra or chamber group then we have a lot of dynamic range to assign perce... | |
| the magic of power cords Oh - just a note regarding "night and day"... People who use these words to describe changes in the sound of their system might have experienced it on both ends: a system that delivers "transistor radio" music vs one that is conveying the nuanced ... | |
| ZU OMEN speakers 12ohms?? After an extended period with the Sophia Baby on Omens I finally determined the loudness did not have enough weight which I knew the Omens should support. Limited dynamic range might be another way to say it. The clarity was there, but a lot of th... | |
| the magic of power cords Jmcgrogan2, if I understand correctly, basically you feel that "no, prior to engaging in swaps, etc.. one cannot tell which component, cable, etc.. is mostly responsible for what shortcoming of the overall sound". Swap one item at the time, live w... | |
| the magic of power cords I guess I have another question - it was on my mind for awhile and I don't seem to find a good threat already addressing it... maybe now it is more clear in my mind. How do you tell which aspect of the system falls short at one given moment (witho... | |
| the magic of power cords Hi Mapman, perhaps "free will" can be reason for trying? After all, a commonly accepted practice is the worship a supreme being not (yet) confirmed by science. Swapping power cords seems benign in comparison. For me, perhaps its magic compensates ... | |
| the magic of power cords "night and day"... on my end, it means simply "pleasure vs. lack thereof" when listening to the same tune. To Onhwy61: "magic is applied technology that I don't understand". Thank you for your condescending remark my friend.I'm proposing that magi... | |
| MAGICO Q1 vs dc10 Berlin SM Yes. Multiple personalities - same guy. | |
| MAGICO Q1 vs dc10 Berlin SM I cannot speak for the quality of the product. However, circumstantial evidence suggests a persistent deception and hustle through a few user names. See for example the ebay user "dc10-promos" auctioning off new dc10 items used to sell used watche... | |
| New Zu Mission cable To Noxs4u - when buying a product in this hobby one factors in a certain resale value. This expectation is built in into the price paid. If the seller turns around and floods the market with product at 25% the price one paid - well - ones resale v... | |
| ZU OMEN speakers 12ohms?? 2nd day with the Omens driven by a Sophia Baby Amp (10wpc). 2/10 of volume effortlessly fills my C-shaped 25x25 listening room to "loud conversation" levels. 5/10 of volume annoys people watching a movie 2 rooms away. As previously noted - the cha... |
