The guru on fuses:
I just did a quick look through system images. 25 expensive systems in and only one with remotely half decent acoustic treatment. I saw a 50k-100k speaker almost up against a glass patio door, no doubt same cost in electronics, speakers near the f... 
The guru on fuses:
And again we have millions who claim that vinyl is more realistic than good digital when the truth could not be farther away. Anyone who has heard live what is coming off the microphones knows that tape and vinyl is a softened and colored version ... 
Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way?
Mainly room mismatch cd318. Wide smooth response requires sidewall control. 
The guru on fuses:
Generally, those that do blind testing do not trust themselves and already think there is no difference. Would you like a shovel to dig yourself out of that hole?I am under no delusions that I have magical powers that protect me from all bias, how... 
The guru on fuses:
Allnoise, how does doing a blind test, actually doing it, and it not being audible, change from year to year. You are making 0 sense.

What I am saying is I have AND I understand the why. Buy a good USB isolator and a good DAC and the streamer becomes 0 importance unless it is intentionally modifying the sound. 
How to select a good Speaker Cable
Tomic601 - least of the issues- cables have inductance. Ignoring it means your DF only applies at low frequencies - voice coils have resistance. That is why there is not much benefit in very high DF. Can't overcome that resistance - inductors and ... 
The guru on fuses:
With rare, very rare exception, no one claiming fuses are highly audible does a blind test. I have many times with people making a fuse claim. Funny, blind, they can never tell a difference. 
How to select a good Speaker Cable
Cool thread. When I agree with Miller (for different reasons) you can be sure there are issues. Thread is pretty much a sharing of delusions and inaccuracies.

Don’t get me wrong, I am an extremely technical guy. FWIW I have a dual degree in Engineering and hold several Patents in my field.Okay ... Obviously not Electrical Engineering. I have patents too ... In audio. 
The guru on fuses:
The other thing, in the article it made it sound as if measuring-recording-analyzing transients (fuse resistance change in this example) was difficult. It is easy. It is only difficult to people who don't know how .... which are people making th...

Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming
lalitk,Streaming is to CD, like CD/digital is to vinyl. They are both equalizers and that is deeply offensive to some.  The thing is, today, you don't need to spend $50K, or $20K or even $10K to have near perfect digital to analog conversion. Benc... 
Purifi Class D: Junk?
atmasphere,The issue is performance, and without a proper low impedance buffer, at the input, not 6 feet of cable, with capacitance and inductance, the performance suffers in my testing (with actual test equipment). I don't doubt he did it, just p...
