The Science of Cables
jhills... show me one other industry, tech or otherwise, that buys into or uses $1,000.00 per foot signal cable ...What’s your point? In any event, very few audiophiles spend $1,000/foot for audio cables.It’s amazing that the ones questioned and ... 
The Science of Vinyl/Analog Setups
celander I know several “objectivists” that won’t accept any of your claims unless you have measurements and blind tests.Who cares?I’m glad you put "objectivisits" in quotes. Real objectivists conduct their own measurement and listening tests and...

Isn't a wondeful time to be an audiophile?
I've been into audio since the '70s and think that it's been a great time to be an audiophile ever since. 
Not Enjoying My Turntable
You have some kind of problem if your stylus routinely skips, probably related to setup. Are you sure your VTF, antiskate and VTA are good? As a next step, those are worth verifying. 
Vinyl***What If***
michaelgreenaudio... having one input is better sounding than multi inputs ... systems are designed to favor one input over the others. Meaning if you tweak your system to work it’s best with your vinyl it will not sound as good with your tapes, c... 
Super Simple theory on speaker cables
This seems perfectly plausible. If you're correct, it's likely that there are other subtle mechanisms that are also involved here.

What's your question? 
The Science of Cables
iealesIf I hear an amplifier clipping, I don't need to compare to know it.We're talking about cables here, and you mentioned your experience with Nordost speaker cables. Are you now saying that the Nordost cables caused amplifier clipping? 
How I would measure cables
erik_squires... this all assumes cables make a difference ...I think many of us agree with you that they do: To be clear: I am on the "cables make a small difference" camp. Whether a difference is really "small" or not is subjective, as whether ... 
The Science of Cables
iealesConfirmation bias is ’experiencing’ a change where there is none.That is mistaken. Confirmation bias is allowing your conclusion to be influenced by your predisposed belief. That’s independent of the nature of any change. Confirmation bias a... 
ARC LS25MKII
I think you want to use the tape loop. The ARC tape out should go to the EQ input, and the EQ output should go to the ARC tape monitor input. This will engage the EQ when you set the ARC source to tape input. 
The Science of Cables
iealesConfirmation bias? Not bleeding likely. Please don’t read into what I didn’t write. I did not say I compared them.You first judged the cables based on appearance alone: "High End" means engineered for a purpose, not some charlatan's pipe c... 
One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All....
brettmcee Is no one else alarmed that on the consumer side of things that there really are no standards?There are standards, actually. Many of them. I see no cause for concern, and certainly no cause for alarm.  
Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period.
twoleftearsIf manufacturers stand behind their claims that their cables sound better after significant burn-in, then they should, as standard practice, offer those products fully burnt-in, not as some optional, add-on, and always more costly ...
