| Do Audiophiles Hear Real Differences, or Are They Justifying Expensive Purchases? @carlos269 - In addition to R, I, and C, might there also be interference factors (EMI, RFI, and grounding issues) that some cables handle better than others? Might these issues also be influenced by the local environment, partnering equipment, ne... | |
| Do Audiophiles Hear Real Differences, or Are They Justifying Expensive Purchases? Interesting post, but long. If you have a website, it seems you could post just the premise and then link to the white paper. | |
| Anyone Else Running Two Systems? Three systems for me with my main (A’gon posted) system in a second living room/rec room, a second system in our main living room (AV and music), and a third outdoor system with three zones (porch, pool deck, and garage) that are managed by a very... | |
| Visited a Store and was shunned “Buying into products that belong to an Industry that is dead in the water from individuals at the sales frontline who really are struggling to recall a period when money was free and easy to extract from a customer.” @pindac - Are you always s... | |
| Visited a Store and was shunned I bought my current car from a specific dealer because of how we were treated over the course of years when buying my daughter’s car, and then my wife’s car (which is an Audi btw). Both sales and service have been outstanding. The dealer was at le... | |
| Visited a Store and was shunned I am a little perplexed by those of you who seem to be implying the OP should not have expected the ability to audition speakers without an appointment. If this was indeed a "store or shop" with a door open to the public, and assuming there wasn'... | |
| Jay's barbecue - disinvited @thecarpathian - I guess I don't know @emergingsoul well enough, so I took his post at face value. In the words of The Who, "Won't Get Fooled Again". | |
| Jay's barbecue - disinvited "What a story." @robeffy - I agree. "Things did not go well that afternoon and consequently, I will not be invited to the barbecue." All I can say is "shocker". "It’s a mystery." The mystery is why you seem mystified about being disin... | |
| Estate planning question A couple of weeks ago, my wife said, “I have no idea what this stuff is worth or what I am supposed to do with it if something happens to you.” I was on a ride Monday where several riders crashed hard because of a hole in the road. One of them is... | |
| Power Cable Suggestions. Here is one option (link). PC-OCC wire, larger than 10awg, and shielded. It is a really good sounding cable for both pre/power amps and for digital gear. Finish with Furutech FI-11M (Cu or G) or FI-15ME (Cu) plug, and Furutech FI-11M (Cu or G) o... | |
| Tidal removed one of my favorite artists "one of my favorite artists" @ten_ton_bass - 51 years ago this summer I went to see Yes in concert and was treated to three outstanding supporting acts, Dave Mason (RIP), Peter Frampton (just b4 Comes Alive was released), and a band I didn’t kn... | |
| LPSU foe modem and router - how important? @zlone asked good questions. If you have optical isolation (i.e., a fiber optic cable break before your streamer) or if you are using wireless, a LPS would be less likely to make much difference. Another option that might help would be additional... | |
| The Best Sounding Systems can Play Loudly with Low Distortion Yes and, as a result, it is not unusual for the actual loudness to be greater than it seems. | |
| USB connection to DAC: multi stage improvement @marco1 - That has been my experience also with AI, that it not only states its position on the topic but that it usually also provides a level of back-up supporting the answer provided. At times when it is wrong, I have found it worthwhile to si... | |
| Subwoofers: Do you turn them off when you are done for the day? My Aerial subs automatically go into standby shortly after I am finished playing music, and automatically power up again once a signal is detected. |
