| Please Read and express your feelings and opinions.... @mrdecibel Analogluvr accented my point nicely. We're not typing our thoughts into a word processor here to chronicle our experiences. We're committing thoughts to a crowd. I think it's a very reasonable thing to expect to have your statements scr... | |
| Please Read and express your feelings and opinions.... @mrdecibel Well, my rub with the snake oil is that on more than a couple of occasions I've seen it beer bonged down some unwitting victim's throat in a way to suggest that unless you're drinking the oil, you're not REALLY serious about audio. It w... | |
| Your Side by Side Experience With Best Vintage vs Newer Expensive Hi Tech Speakers Yeah.... I'm going to beg to differ with that. Those knobs and sliders from yesteryear have a vastly more significant impact on tone than changing some resistors in a typical amp or line stage component. Sure, you can swap out a resistor or two in... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Oh.... The secret of directional wire is protected lore like the 12th degree of Freemasonry, huh? It’s such esoteric knowledge it can’t be obtained through conventional means? So it’s got to be protected and rationed at a high price? That sounds e... | |
| One of the best HDMI cable? @gdhal I applaud your honesty and recognizing your error! | |
| Please Read and express your feelings and opinions.... It seems to me there are a variety of basic characters here. There's those who don't know much and want to learn. There are some who know some stuff. There are those who really know nothing and come here to peddle their myths. I feel I'm somewhere... | |
| One of the best HDMI cable? I don't believe in myths like that. Most people don't. It's absurd. If there was a way to make a wire directional you can bet somebody would have done it by now. Signal reflection in high speed buses has been a technical challenge for decades. Tha... | |
| One of the best HDMI cable? @geoffkait Well that's just plain stupid. HDMI is a bi-directional packet-based serial interface. You don't want any directionality in the wire. | |
| Your Side by Side Experience With Best Vintage vs Newer Expensive Hi Tech Speakers I'm not a guy of unlimited means by any stretch. My speakers are by far the most expensive things I own. I wouldn't have a Pass amp if I hadn't built the thing transistor by resistor myself. Vintage is a good bargain, but getting my ESS speakers u... | |
| Your Side by Side Experience With Best Vintage vs Newer Expensive Hi Tech Speakers Michael, virtually every modern speaker does well without tone controls. That's why they've virtually disappeared from high end gear. Sure, there's a few speakers out there that have adjustment jumpers or interchangable resistors for tone control,... | |
| Speaker Recommendations for my Vintage Marantz 2270 and Miracord 50H MK II You can use any size cable you please with those old Marantz units. I've got a couple. You just have to terminate the cable with pin connectors. I've been doing that for 25 years with those things. | |
| Please Read and express your feelings and opinions.... I get a chuckle when I know people are talking about me without using my name. I don't really consider these forums places of thought and learning because facts tend not to get in the way of opinions. I think if you're really interested in learnin... | |
| Your Side by Side Experience With Best Vintage vs Newer Expensive Hi Tech Speakers Michael, with all due respect, your argument makes no sense and just sounds like gazing at the past through Rose colored glasses. Flexibility? Most speakers these days are intended and quite content to not be driven by electronics with tone contro... | |
| Upgrading speaker cables... I've fooled around with cables, and unlike most here, I actually dug into some theory and built my own. Nobody listening to $2000 speakers is hearing the plating on their cables terminations or jumpers. I doubt anybody listening to $20,000 is. The... | |
| One of the best HDMI cable? Whatever... You're just making it up. HDMI features ECC at the protocol layer. It either works or it doesn't. I can kind of understand people getting weird about their USB cables since USB has no QoS at the protocol layer, but HDMI transports data... |
