| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? It’s entirely possible to double blind test something that’s 100% provable to anyone and come out with a 50% chance of certainty. The test itself introduces many levels of uncertainty even before it starts. That’s why I’ve always referred to it as... | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? The placebo effect argument works both ways. If you're of the mind that power cables won't make a difference, you'll not hear a difference. That, and you'll point to lots of other people who fell the same way and "documented" it. All the best,Nonoise | |
| Cable Burn In Works for me. 👍 | |
| Polite Rules for discussing Audio related things +1 @elizabeth,As nice as the suggestion is, rules of civility on a forum like this is like having someone come down off a mountain with some commandments.Great in theory but not in practice.I've pointedly stated how nice it would be for those who ... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... So now Paul McGowen is part of the conspiracy. Where will this all end?Just keep moving the goalposts and one will have an argument to make. | |
| Speaker Connectors: Banana Plug conversion adaptor to spades For $10 for each spade, Zu will re-terminate your cables and they'll look great. I had their speaker cables and went the other way, from spades to bananas. They'll even pay for the shipping back to you and the turn around time was one day. If you ... | |
| Cable Burn In Again...the company he left does not see it necessary to make any such claims. That an engineer who left Belden makes claims about burn-in doesn't mean it's true.Why would the company make such a claim? Their product is used in an industry where ... | |
| Cable Burn In Right now I'm burning in a new set of cables that the maker states takes about 75 hours. The guy who designed them was an engineer at Beldin Wire & Cables. The price is very reasonable, the trial period is 40 days so there's really no downside... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 All's quiet on the Western Front. Except for the EX-M1. 😄It's coming along just fine. Blossoming more here, going deeper there, opening more in the backstage. It's all good, if not great. It's taking longer to heat up to where it's hot to the touc... | |
| Plinius Hiato vs MA9000 vs Hegel H360 (powerful integrated amps under 10k with 200 watts) Check out the Kinki Studio EX-M1. It's rated at 215W/channel into 8 ohms and doubles into 4 ohms. The amp's designer modeled it after some of the best Swiss amps out there and you can have it for around $2200.00. I wrote a review of it here and th... | |
| Speakers for aging audiophiles - What's with today bass emphasis ? What you want is bass control and not necessarily, bass extension. If your speaker is rated to "only" 44Hz, the in room response should be fairly good, if not great, in the mid 30s with satisfying results. All the best,Nonoise | |

| Kinki Studio EX-M1 I thought there was a standby mode and an operating mode. It states in the manual that it will take 20-40 minutes for it to sound it’s best.I used to leave my Marantz on all of the time for it to sound it’s best but with a draw of 30-40 watts whe... | |
