| Why Power Cables Affect Sound Why is it that almost every single time someone mentions "better powercord" the argument against it is "one costing thousand of dollars" when it is not the case? People have got to stop framing their arguments in such a ridiculous fashion. All the... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound To think we are all at the mercy of Romex makes one want to quit this hobby. We can't do a thing about it so why bother? Just buy some piece of crap from Best Buy and be done with it. That's like saying we're all at the mercy of our roads so why b... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound So here I am questioning how in the hell a cable that isn’t even in the signal chain improves the soundSays who? That’s cherry picking. Remove the power cord and nothing happens. Rectification done after receiving power from said power cord is rar... | |
| Anyone used these audio ceramic slow blow fuses from Littlefuse? @bigshutterbug Thanks for mentioning the comparison of the rhodium capped fuses to the SR Blue fuses. I've always wondered if the added cost over the PADIS fuses would be worth it. As it is, I get excellent decay, ambience, detail and extension wi... | |

| Snake oil came first. By a likely ~ +50k years I guess it settles the question as to which came first. | |
| Power Purpose That makes sense. If you live in an apartment, like me, what I did was to figure out which breakers went to which outlets and lucked out on finding two in the living room that had their own breaker. It was the first thing I did when I moved in. It... | |
| Audiogon member suggestions for a speaker that sounds good at low volume!!! Start by narrowing down your speaker choices to those with high efficiency (94db+) and you'll be okay. Two that I have experience with are Tonian Labs TL-D1s and JBL 4319 monitors. Both really come alive at higher volumes (all speakers do) but the... | |

| Snake oil came first. By a likely ~ +50k years Nor would I ever want to entertain walking on something based on theory. Yet we've taken concrete steps in governing (where the modern shamans reside) and perverted them into abstract (theoretical) concepts to govern by in order to placate the fal... | |
| Snake oil came first. By a likely ~ +50k years Could be an interesting discussion but I expect degeneration will set in quite soon.Rather, immediately. Despite the OP's valiant efforts to keep it on track, wannabe shamans took it in their direction. Everybody wants to rule the world....All the... | |
| Soundbars vs Conventional Home Theater Sys I see the soundbar as just that, a soundbar. Recently, I replaced a Yamaha soundbar with a Samsung HW-MS650 soundbar and couldn't be happier. It's much more fuller sounding, more intelligible, has better sound staging, has better extension and eve... | |
| Hi Fi Tuning fuses Here comes the fuse police..........Those who have convinced themselves that the change to "audiophile" fuses and experienced audio improvements have probably exhausted all other methods to improve a system's performance. While not ready to admit ... | |
| Hi Fi Tuning fuses As much as I love the sound of my Kinki EX-M1, I went and experimented with a PADIS fuse since accessing it is so darn easy.The fullness now that accompanies the extraordinary sound of the Kinki is most welcomed. All of that for $25. And they're P... | |
