| Opening a can of worms Sounds like common sense to me, mapman. I can see spending upwards of $150 to build cables, but I can't justify more. The ones I'm using now cost less than $50 to build. They do sound better than 12g OFC. If I need to manipulate the character of m... | |
| Changed amplifiers and need some feedback... I'm not familiar with that and, but that doesn't sound right, wouldn't impress me at all, and would stand in sharp contrast to my F5 as much as it does your NAD. | |
| Low heat alternative to FIRSTWATT J2 ? @zd542 The J2 doesn’t use any MOSFETs. It uses JFETs throughout. That’s where it gets it’s unique character from. All Pass Labs amps use feedback. That’s what Su-Sy is. First Watt amps are a mixed bag with the F7 using both negative and positive f... | |
| PADIS vs Furutech fuses @rilbr That was me that said those things and I stand by those statements. Somebody somewhere posted the actual measurements for some of these fuses. The kinds of numbers talked about are insignificant. If the values discussed do make a difference... | |
| Room Response @georgehifi I was thinking the same thing, but in an uncharacteristic display of diplomacy, I relented. Snake oil knows no bounds. | |
| Soundstage and explosive dynamics? @cleeds I agree. PA amps aren't exactly designed for home environments. Serious PA rigs don't even use external amps anymore and that's driven the requirement for quality down. If you need PA volume and dynamics, just go buy some Meyer, Nexo, or F... | |
| Room Response I seem perpetually cursed with asymmetrical spaces and sorting them out proves to be the bane of my existence far longer than it should. My dining room features a solid wood folding screen to break up the sound slapping around in there with one wa... | |
| Soundstage and explosive dynamics? Don't take my word for it.... Read the review in Stereophile. https://www.stereophile.com/content/focal-aria-936-loudspeakerI think it's a balanced and accurate description of the speakers which I strongly agree with which seems to fit the bill o... | |
| Am I an Audiophile, a music lover-or both? Having a decent quality system has most certainly altered my tastes in music. There's lots of things I wouldn't have sat and listened through in my car or truck that I will listen to with piqued attention at home. No doubt music a tool for analyzi... | |
| Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio Way better than magic rocks and blue spots, isn't it? | |
| Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio @geoffkait "One problem I suspect is that audiophiles for all their bluster aren’t very sure of what their listening to and uncertain as to how to proceed to improve whatever it is they've got. it's a sticky wicket."Might it be on account of circu... | |
| Opening a can of worms @geoffkait There you go again, spouting your ass-backwards BS. I'll set you straight again...Honda is the company that made Ferrari rethink their entire approach to quality and luxury. The Honda NSX is widely considered to be one of the best sport... | |
| Opening a can of worms Go check out the nutjobs who think they can hear a fuse that's separated from the signal by a transformer, a pile of caps and resistors, and a couple feet of wire and circuit board traces! Those guys swear they hear stark differences. One guy said... | |
| Opening a can of worms I agree with the OP. His observations match my own and fall in line with what measurements might lead you to expect. Anybody interested in a well reasoned and measurement-backed analysis of cables and their potential contributions or detractions s... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? @geoffkait Come on... GED jokes? You can do better than that! Where's all that wit and creative that brought the world the Teleportation Tweak? |
