Cable Burn In
fleschler,Right, so you listen to cables. Ok.I don’t care that a machine will tell me that they all test the same other than for capacitance, inductance or resistance. The manufacturer tests for the basics. What we do is determine if sonically, we... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
edgewear,You are making a claim that others have made here: that it takes a really high resolution system for cable differences to become apparent.1. But as I keep pointing out: People with "lower res" systems have been talking about and reporting...

fleschler,Just curious:  What do you mean you are a "cable tester" for a small manufacturer?Do you mean you are an electrical engineer and you are part of production, and take various measurements of the cables and find an objective measurable dif... 
Thiel Owners
tomthiel,Can you tell me:  what was Jim's thinking about loudspeaker design before he started producing time/phase coherent speakers?I still have my old Thiel 02 (circa 76' ?) and love them.   Was Jim going for flat response as a main attribute......

@nonoiseIs this "engineer" who used to work for a cable company who all naysayers say is good enough for audiophiles and who appears to make little on his cables wrong? I don't know.  He might be.  Again...the company he left does not see it nec... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
rothwea,You may well be right.Looking at the Super 9 specs, they are almost the same size exactly as the Joseph speakers, are spec'd a bit lower in the bass, and use bigger woofers.  It's possible the Super 9's would strike just the right balance ...

Finally, there has been mention of blinded studies. I’m not sure why the audio magazines aren’t full of them. A panel of experts. Same room, same system, equipment not visible. Various songs played at various volumes but only one physical eleme... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
calvinj,I am certainly not here to tell you or anyone you shouldn't enjoy buying and listening to whatever cables you like.  Glad you are so enthusiastic about your set up.I'm mostly representing the reasons why I don't apportion much of my mental...

aalenik.And one you get guys like Prof & Clearthink going, forget a logical straightforward conversation.If you are implying my posts are "illogical" I haven't seen you demonstrate that.  (Unless I'm misunderstanding what you meant there).One ... 
if I buy an ultrasonic cleaner for my records will I be able to hear the difference?
As I mentioned earlier, I don't yet have experience with USC as I'm still awaiting my Degritter USC.But if you want to hear a comparison before and after an old record was cleaned, Degritter recorded such a comparison.  If you go to the Degritter ... 
YG Acoustics, Raihdo?
I have not heard any YG speakers, but I auditioned a couple Raidho monitors.   Best ribbon tweeter integration I've ever experienced (I don't know if I've ever liked another dynamic speaker with a ribbon tweeter because I always hear a discontinui...

DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
And some of is have plenty of experience hearing super high end systems, and own highly resolving systems ourselves.(Hope that wasn't too complicated)

@almarg Thanks very much for the kind words, Al.Having observed many (and occasionally participated in) on-line discussions of the more controversial audio topics, I’ve found a very common, almost completely reliable trend. Many people (especially...
