WHY CABLES MATTER!
Oh, and yes, all preferences aside, it would be great for everyone, brothers included, to better understand the relationships of specific context in order to develop a more nuanced sense of taste 😂  
WHY CABLES MATTER!
@tonywinga  i think the apology is mine to extend, I am sorry for not speaking more plainly. My use of ‘he term ‘notwithstanding’ was not in disagreement to your post, but in addition and perhaps even extension to it. I do feel too that wavetouch... 
WHY CABLES MATTER!
@smurfstain I am so sorry for my earlier rambling post that caught the wrong kind of attention. What I had meant to say, in response to your very specific original questions, was that learning how to listen is the only way to answer your questi... 
WHY CABLES MATTER!
@calvinj Thanks for your kind words, and yes, cables do make a difference. It is a difference I would never have truly learned about, if I hadn’t been fortunate enough to have had access to demo a huge variety of them in the familiarity of my ow... 
WHY CABLES MATTER!
@squared80  my post was about the only system you can improve at no monetary cost, your listening ability - it wasn’t about the money one chooses to spend on cables, a silly issue that imposes your limits, or lack of, upon someone else. We sum... 
WHY CABLES MATTER!
Hi @smurfstain - it’s been awhile since the last post, but if you’re still following this thread, I wanted to tell you I had a similar experience to yours when I first started out about five years ago. I didn’t really know what I wanted, what was ... 
Heavy speakers: How to be able to reposition?
Hi @musicfan2349 - I just came across your post and was thinking, if you hadn’t yet got those sliders, and your listening space is planned to be hard-floored, that you could use the placement plinths I designed for my 85kg apiece speakers. They wo... 
What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another?
@jji666 “I believe I've already done this without having to take it anywhere.  I've built all level of servers, from the AudiophileStyle's totally quiet fanless model with no moving parts and using the various OS tweaks that are/were supposed to... 
Would you buy a pair of speakers by just looking at the measured freq. response?
The original question in this post is an important one, vitally so for an ambiguous assumption inherently made in its wording, and taken up by the many responses that follow. This assumption concerns the phrase “to listen first”, generally interpr... 
Swiss Digital FUSE BOX Question Thread
Hi there mark, I contacted you earlier regarding the possibility of a 240V version of the fuse box - are you any closer to this? Thanks much!   In friendship - kevin.  
Why Do Cables Matter?
@thyname  @steakster  Thanks for your kind words. I’ve occasionally found that what we sense as aggression or arrogance is often a cover for uncertainty and sincere confusion or the frustration of inability to communicate more clearlyÂ đŸ˜‰đŸ™đŸ»   @do... 
When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi???
@dean_palmer  I believe it’s been said many times before, that ‘hi-fi’ comes from the term high fidelity, and that high fidelity is about bringing the original signal from source to ear with as little added and taken away as possible
.with as lit... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
@donavabdear    I have some questions for you, and some suggestions to make that might help your troubled journey.   You had mentioned earlier that you have personally heard Anthony Hopkins in direct conversation and know what his actual voice... 
Questions about Resolving Systems
  @tonywinga - sorry for the delete, had to sort out a silly double emphasis which made my post look etched  😂 here’s how it was supposed to read
.actually, from what you’ve written, tony, I believe we are talking about very different things. T... 
Questions about Resolving Systems
@jay73 - jay, to start with, I am one of the belief that different people refer to the term ‘resolution’ to mean different things. There is something that could be called superficial resolution, which only speaks to a greater contrast between so...
