| The Science of Cables Thank-you taras22. As for eric_squires all I get from you is an appearance of personal jealousy. Dismissing a detailed argument as irrelevant shows no analytic skill and is a lazy thinker's way of trying to dominate a conversation. You have bee... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? I have owned only B+O linear trackers over the last 40 years and have been very happy with them. Very elegant looking, simple to operate, no fiddling and extraordinary sound. I started with the original 4000, I believe it was called. I modified... | |
| The invention of measurements and perception I am more struck by the absence of basic measurements of physics in this field. One problem that I have been working on is the extent of vibration especially in headphone cases and speaker enclosures. I have never seen one measurement reported ... | |
| The invention of measurements and perception "Foundations of Measurement" in 3 volumes, Krantz, Luce, Suppes, and Tversky. Academic Press.You might know the last author as a Nobel Laureate."This I believe refers to Amos Tversky who did not win a Nobel Prize. | |
| Brilliant Pebbles, a new tweak, cheaper than high end cables. These things have been around for quite a while I believe, and still not even a hint of what principle of physics is supposed to be involved. The statements about them are just meaningless generalizations. | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound There is a lot of confusion here between theories and evidence. Merely having a plausible explanation for some phenomenon does not mean it is a correct explanation of that phenomenon, e.g. a suggestion that good cables have less susceptibility to ... | |
| Treated my interconnects with Deoxit D5 today I had the same problem with D5, i.e. washed out sound. However I also use what used to be called Deoxit Gold ( the company seems to be changing the names) and that was quite the opposite, i.e a big improvement in sound quality. As I understand it ... | |
| Neutral or Detailed. You can't have both The discussion here is like something from the stone-age. Firstly the discussion starts with a confusion of enhanced treble with detail. Certainly you will hear more high frequency detail with hyped treble, youwill also hear more high frequncy ha... | |
| Stillpoints - snake oil? I find that spikes for speakers work to some extent as do sorbothane footers for electronics but I get much better results with stick on sorbothane. backed with 4 layers of electrical tape to create what is known in mechanical engineering as const... | |
| Filling speaker Stands? You need to dampen vibrations and that means more than just adding mass. Sorbothane is the only material I know of which actually converts the mechanical energy to heat, thereby getting it out of the system quickly. I recommend 1/4 inch self stick... | |
| If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money I am sure this machine sounds nice but it is over-engineered in at least with respect to vibrational damping. There seems to be a widespread belief that increasing mass will get reduce the impact of vibrations from a spinning cd, lp or even from... | |
| High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference? I would correct geoffkait on his claim that sorbothane needs to be constrained to work. I have been using it unconstrained for years with good results, on speakers, headphones cd players etc. However constraining, i.e. covering the surface which... | |
| Removing spikes... Now my speakers sing What you are doing with the vibrapods is adding mechanical damping to the speaker cabinets. I have been working on this issue for a while doing constrained damping. In my case this is sorbothane glued to the cabinet with the sorb covered with 4 l... | |
| Cable Snake Oil Antidote It is far better to post your experience of what in your experience works to give a good audio result than lauching general attacks on entire fields. But I think we already know that we are dealing with a troll here. | |
| Speakers "Disappearing" Not being flip but the best way to make your speakers disappear is to close your eyes or turn the lights out. Experimental psychologists have studied the "ventroloquism effect" which is a tendency for the perceived direction of sound to be where t... |
