| Am I right for this forum? What has changed is how people now interact after the advent of social media. It’s not limited to any one group or hobby. Our culture is now more about presenting a certain image online than actual discussion and substance. Don’t take it personall... | |
| New cables... My experience is that cables make extremely subtle, nearly inaudible differences. If you buy them because they appeal to you aesthetically, or to feel like you’ve ruled out a weak link, and it makes you happy by all means do it. Why not? But expec... | |
| Aragon Amps any good for Planars? I had an Aragon 24+ years ago. 😉 | |
| How Is This Possible? Must be Counterfeits The Chinese don’t honor trademark and intellectual property rights. | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! So, I bought a pair of AQ rocket 88, and swapped them with my Supra Quadrax set. My system sounds awesome now. Except it sounded awesome before the switch. And it sounded awesome with the 7 gauge WBC ultimate I had before Supra. So, if there are d... | |
| power cord for pass 250.8 @audphile1 Why? | |
| power cord for pass 250.8 You did ask the question can you do better? Maybe ever so slightly. Probability nothing audible but I’m a believer in spending enough to make sure you have no weak links but not buying into the Uber expensive esoteric cords. I absolutely believe ... | |
| Ethernet cables I do not believe in audible differences between 2 properly made Ethernet cables of Cat6 or better. What I do believe in is never using the absolute cheapest example either. So I settled on Belden cat 6e. Belden individually tests each cable to ens... | |
| Wilson Alexia 2 You could save a fortune and get a Hegel h590 for 6k. Will drive them perfectly. | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love 03-07-2024 at 02:22pm My Jazz albums / CD's. Especially "Kind of Blue" I've never been able to listen to the whole album because it puts me to sleep. I know one must be a jazz or female vocals guy in order to have an affirmed audiophile card b... | |
| Have Luxman 509x. Considering Pass Labs INT-250 or Dan D’Agostino Progression Integrated Hegel and save a bundle. :) | |
| How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components? All you need for very good sound is a (preowned) Hegel 590 for 6k, and a great set of speakers. That’s it. Well, a decently set up room too. | |
| Damping Factor and Overall Negative Feedback. So where would Hegel fit into this discussion about feedback and damping factor given that Hegel has a patent on their sound engine 2 design, that I gather is a type of feedback design, and their oft touted 4000+ damping factors. 🤷🏻♂️ | |
| Power cable Advice... I suppose I’m just a novice, but what exactly does a $5000 power cord do for the electricity. 🤷🏻♂️ | |
| Accuphase E-5000 factory power cord good enough? I’m not of the opinion that differences can be heard between well made power cords of suitable gauge and decent quality. But my Hegel h390 came with an 18 AWG cord, which while probably adequate, I felt might be slightly thinner than ideal. So I f... |
