The Science of Cables
ieales"High End" means engineered for a purpose, not some charlatan’s pipe concoction for visual/cosmic appeal. Nordost speaker cables are in the YFJ [You’re Freaking Joking] category. First time I saw them I thought ...So you judged them unheard ... 
Twisted Pear Audio website not working
The site works for me. 
How I would measure cables
prof I have never made such a demand. And in his OP, neither did Erik, so that's a strawman. When ou cite a "burden of proof," you essentially make a demand, just as Erik does here: erik_squires If you make claims about speaker cables, prove i... 
How I would measure cables
erik_squiresMaybe what I should do is measure a bunch of cables with brand new metrics ...Yessss! Please do! Please share with us how you measured the cables and what the results were.  
How I would measure cables
prof cleeds is as usual trying to shift the burden of proof. That’s silly. This is a hobbyist’s group. Users here are free to post their observations and no "burden of proof" exists at all. Those who desire such "proof," or who seek scientific t... 
How I would measure cables
erik_squires If you make claims about speaker cables, prove it.Whatever claims I have made about speaker cables have been proven to my satisfaction. You are free to do the same. Or, good luck getting others to do your work for you. I'm also sayin... 
The Science of Cables
prof Claims about cables, especially extraordinary claims, ought to be able to pass the same vetting method as any other science. Agreed. But why is it that those who call for this vetting seem to always require that others do the work? Erik ev... 
How I would measure cables
erik_squires ... since it is their product, the onus is on them, not me, the consumer, to do their testing for them. No, you're asking others to do the tests you desire, but "don’t have the time or energy to do" yourself, even though you think... 
How I would measure cables
erik_squires There’s been a lot of talk about "science" and cables. To me it sounds a lot like free energy, and cold fusion scams. With few exceptions, they invoke a lot of physics, without ever tying it back down to actual results. Fancy words, ... 
Question About DACs
mzkmxcv... newer chips are much better. A state of the art DAC from 10yr ago is similar to a $100 DAC from Topping/Schiit/etc. Have you proved this assertion with the same sort of double-blind testing protocols that you insist others must conduct ... 
Question About DACs
mzkmxcvI haven’t seen anything saying the reward isn’t real. If not, I’ll put up $10K of my own money under similar parameters. You obviously haven’t been paying attention. Previous "offers" such as yours have been shown to be fraudulent and have ... 
Question About DACs
mzkmxcvA DAC sounding “boring” is a non-descript term, as useless as “lacking rhythm”.    Some descriptions that can be used ...Pardon me, but everyone here is free to use whatever language they like to describe what they hear, within the forum'... 
Question About DACs
joshfilm Feel free to stick to your guns on this, but the alternative is to go and listen to a few of the products that are being highlighted...This makes such common sense that it’s difficult to understand why anyone wouldn’t follow it. But we h... 
The Science of Cables
kosst_amojanm@cleeds I'd expect this kind of mindless quip from you. The OP asks a very rational question that clearly went clean over your head. How do you properly pair components if you don't know what the measurements on them are like?Kos... 
The Absolute Sound - ELAC Navis Review
contuzziWho cafes about a magazine review anyway. It looks like The Absolute Sound has a paid annual circulation of about 27,000, so it’s probably safe to assume that those readers care.
