| what to do with 1000+ CD's, many imports and live concerts It is a shame that CD's are no longer mainstream. A majority of the population only cares about music portability and lossy digital downloads. Me....I tried to sell some of my CD collection a few years ago. I refused to sell them for the prices... | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... decibel:Please, please do not feel sorry for me. This thread is not about me...it is about power cables. Though flattered that you took the time to review my previous posts, your opinion about whether my participation is or is not wasting my tim... | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... rodman9999: I agree that phenomena is a more common plural form of the singular - however, both Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary and Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage list the possible plural forms as phenomena when the meaning is an ob... | |

| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... I think what Randy and I and other realists are saying is that once some very basic and inexpensive length/guage requirements are met, nothing is to be gained by spending sometimes insane amounts on aftermarket cabling...wasting money on them is l... | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... Hey hddg:I assume I am the uneducated "troll" you are referring to in your recent post. I do disagree with the premise that an expensive power cord is going to improve the audio performance of a component. I chose to state that opinion here. I bel... | |

Analog-like liquidity, higher resolution, lower sound floor, more dynamic presentation, better dynamic differentiation and denser ton... | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... Quite a dissertation. Trying to figure out that really applies to power cords that cost more than a power amp. Is it the science that makes them so expensive...or the marketing. 😆 | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... Checked out the Audioquest power cord geoffkait mentioned above. The reviews are amazing!! Was going to buy a couple of these but stumbled upon Audioquest's Diamond 16m Braided HDMI Cable. It is a steal at Amazon's price of $13,499.75. Some mi... | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... Pennsy: Throttle back, my friend. On this site you may challenge the thoughts/advise/comments of a poster but not attack him personally. Just bad form and completely inappropriate. | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... bumperdoo: Those who really understand the science know that exotic power cords (and other glitzy wires and cables) fix "problems" that just do not exist. | |
| Oppo UDP - 205 Before you get too excited about 4K, do the research on screen resolution vs seating distance. Those 4K screens, showing 4K media, look gorgeous in the showroom when you are three feet away. No one sits that close in their homes. So, unless yo... | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... What is wrong with the manufacturers of high end pre-amps, power amps, outboard DACs and disc/media players? Why do they continue to cripple us with lackluster power cables? Shame on them for being so chintzy. Could it be, maybe, that with all t... | |
