| Speaker life expectancy At that age, the speaker surrounds could well have deteriorated to the extent that refurbishment will add tightness and definition - this is particularly noticeable with bass units. But there is no guarantee that I can give you that a refurbishmen... | |
| Impress Your Friends and Seduce Women! We kiwis are carrion for cats and dogs, and I suspect garfish are gobbled up by pussies too, but when I put it like that perhaps you have a point Albertporter. | |
| "Krell" is a buzzword The way I see it is that Krell is well marketed and "expensive", and for any audiophile reading the ads and reviews, Krell is in your face to the extent that you are under pressure to aspire to own a Krell. A lot of the marketing is just about tha... | |
| BEST Digital Cable Donjf - I like the D60 and don't see a lot of reasons for you to upgrade if you have already invested in the D60 - the money is probably better spent elsewhere. I have both (and some others) and it is only in a direct comparison with the KS2020 th... | |
| BEST Digital Cable I don't think we have seen you around for a while Chucky. Good to see ya mate! I like the Kimber Select KS2020 - whatever. Detail resolution is very fine (D60 sounds unacceptably smeared in comparison) and bass power is considerable. No doubt ther... | |
| One more BI-WIRE question I have experienced speakers that sound better bi-wired and speakers that sound better single-wired. I would go with the designer's preference and agree with Sagger re simplifying the connections. By the way it is really quite difficult to compare ... | |
| "Burn in" Are you serious? Waldhorner, I hesitate to make this seem even more wacky to you, but if you take a "burnt-in" cable out of a system and coil it up for a period and then put it back in the system it will go through the burn-in process again, albeit more mildly. I ... | |
| Impress Your Friends and Seduce Women! Presumably not with Dogface's woman. | |
| How come a power cable changes the sound? Sorry, I have been in the islands again and the internet is not so good there. The philosophy I have developed (through trial and error) is probably still very flawed - but is I think different from yours Waldhorner. But as with any other philosop... | |
| How come a power cable changes the sound? Apologies Waldhorner. I am getting really tired and testy of the "I cannot hear it, so you must be deluded" brigade, that demand scientific proof from a chat forum. We have had a barage of this negativism in recent weeks and I have stupidly (whoop... | |
| Impress Your Friends and Seduce Women! Onhwy61 - I don't think I disagree with anything you said. One thing I have learned is to NEVER buy any gear that is not neutral or is dynamically constrained - if you ever do, you quickly tire of it and can be sent on an expensive and futile ques... | |
| "Burn in" Are you serious? Waldhorner, your existentialism does not make an argument - it could be applied to argue all stereos sound the same and we are just deluded in believing otherwise. I just figure if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck - t... | |
| How come a power cable changes the sound? The truly stupid questions tend to have that effect. | |
| Impress Your Friends and Seduce Women! The more you are an audiophile, the less understood you will be. The general public has been educated that the difference between a cheap stereo and an expensive stereo is how powerful (or loud) it is. If you are still on the power kick then I sus... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Now you have got me Kthomas - I don't know, and have not done much work on it since I cannot change how DACs work. I have only got so far as observing how transmission interfaces are subject to jitter and how jitter results in harmonic distortion.... |
