The Law of Accelerating Returns

@jpwarren58 Headphones. Or hang a bunch of foil and crystals. @mahgister swears by the.

No mahgster I am not saying they do not work. But if I did that my wife would have left me at the Poland Ukraine border 2 weeks ago…..

That is not flying here.

I perfectly well understand...My wife dont want to touch my audio room....I manage the necessary cleaning ...She hate my room but my better review was his: "it is very good sound and it is suprizing in this mess of a room..."

😁😊

By the way my most important tool are Helmholtz devices and methods with resonators and diffusers...

Not stones and minerals, nor Schumnan generators nor ionizers all of which worked BUT are minor improvement compared to acoustic treatment well done and acoustic mechanical control especially...

My 8 headphones are in a closet now guess why ?

But the truth dont change with our spouse status , acoustic is key...

My deepest respect to you and your dedicated wife...

Kinda like getting your news from the MSM or Fox.

One point of view.

Bit it has people talking about other things than Russian Tubes. 

Speaking of Tubes I am listening to them. Enjoying an ice tea. 

When I read the article I had quite a laugh. We have to remember that TAS serves an industry based on the simple assumption that spending more money gets you better sound. Anyone, even multimillionaires, want to think they are receiving good value for their money so the theory of "accelerating returns" fits right into the agenda.

Wonderfully and simply stated.

I agree! Be careful when picking your experts.

TAS is the Fox News/CNN of audio publications. A clear agenda outside of reporting on audio. I've never forgiven them for their 4-part series on digital audio where they reported the original file on the hard drive sounded better than a copy on the hard drive.   

"Just the other day I replaced a 1.5m interconnect between the phonostage and linestage with a more expensive model."

More expensive?  It MUST sound better!  I actually insulate my cables with $50 bills.  The $100 bills were a mismatch with my amp. I can't wait to buy a "more expensive" amp so that I can re-line my cables with the hundreds! 

There are no experts only opinions.

They are like what?

Cheap is cheap though.
