The Science of Cables
I have made my two emphases clear; 1. Analysis of epistemology of analogue compared to cables, with inquiry of just how do they differ, and if they do not differ substantially, what justification do cable skeptics have to suggest aftermarket cable... 
The Science of Cables
Prof, no, I am saying there appears to be no measurable, objective basis for cultivation of an analogue rig. I see that the same largely subjective assessment is used by analogue lovers in their use and consumerism as cable users. My concern is no... 
The Science of Cables
I'm starting to think all the analogue believers owe Schroeder Method a try. Analogue-believing cable skeptics, where are you? Don't we see more attempted explanation and measurement for cables than analogue rigs. I've not seen typically any measu...

JimI won't hold your being an analogue lover against you. ;)So, you trust what the sellers say about the cartridges, but don't trust me with a free method? Seriously, how is the improvement of a platter , tone arm, mat, phono cable or phono pre, o...

Jim, thanks. Nice to have civility and perhaps growing respect between us.  :)  
The Science of Cables
Ok, we have some meaningful discussion; let's dial back the rhetoric and keep the open, non-competitive discussion going. Jhills, good point; I can see where you might have been influenced to think it had to be a big $ interconnect. No, it does no... 
The Science of Cables
People with less system building experience simply don't have a frame of reference that allows envisioning better, and are suspicious of claims to that effect. One has to be willing to test their suspicions. Those who do, discover.I understand ske...

Jim, Thank you for your thoughtful, cordial reply.Elizabeth, yeah, the cost to play is pretty prohibitive. Kills.  You would think I was asking people too try a $5K cartridge. Which brings up this question: What is the substantive difference scien... 
What class of amplifier has the most high definition sound ?
soix, I concur; we are not in disagreement. We may vary on what we feel the degree of contribution the amp (whatever type) and the system contribute, but both are critical to desired outcome, and everyone will have their favorite genre of amp. Abs... 
Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic
As I have double Schroeder Method running currently, I will be swapping their positions to see the effect. Swapping single ICs is efficacious, readily heard in a good rig, so I would expect the same with double IC. shkong78, I thought you had used...

jhills, please refrain from characterization of the Schroeder Method as collusion on the part of manufacturers or those associated with the industry. You have not done your homework prior to posting. There has been largely manufacturer participati... 
What class of amplifier has the most high definition sound ?
What class of amplifier has the most high definition sound? The one that you want, but don't own. ;) Having built all manner of audio systems I assure you that the caliber of the system build has as much influence upon performance as the amp (or c...

roberjerman, you are quite a vocal skeptic here. Would you like to try Schroeder Method? I am making a presumption that you think it would not work, or that it would have a low chance of bringing about a beneficial change. I'm interested in whethe... 
From tubes to SS amp : Ayre, Belles, Pass or else ?
I offer my reviews on Belles, Pass, First Watt and Gold Note amps at dagogo.com for interested parties. Among these four the most tube-like, imo, are the Belles and Gold Note. The Gold Note PA-1175 Amp is unique in that it has a Damping Factor fea... 
The Science of Cables
From my perspective we have made great progress; we are at the point of asking skeptics to try something. Previously it was all theoretical discussion. Now, there can actually be something done to perhaps change some minds. Because we all know how...
