@soix
Thank you so much for your observation. Your only intention seemed to be to put down @exflute for having ears that can perform well in a top orchestra but you allege does not perceive differences in the sound of cables that you allege (without any objective testing) to be able to perceive.
@oliver_reid
Thank you for your rational, cool, post which which I fully agree. I doubt Soix would agree with much of it so that makes you 'clueless' if you care what Soix thinks.
@baylinor
Thank you for your rational question. The chief difference in my two posts you read is that one is a negative commentary on a music genre, which is a passive, non living person, and the other is a defence of an individual who was unnecessarily attack for holding an opinion and, as a top musician, may be sensitive. Passive objects suffer no discomfort from such attacks, although those who identify with such an object might get their feelings hurt a bit if they suffer from under-confidence. Whereas individuals can suffer damage. The former are therefore fair game whereas the latter are worthy of respect and understanding.
I should be happy to post a photo of my system here if someone will tell me how to do it. But many here something of it from my other posts.
Unusual elements are:
No streaming or similar.
CD and SACD players but rarely used.
Electrostatics speakers since 1978. Currently Martin Logan CLS Anniversaries
Simon Yorke S10 and Aeroaarm, the latter a very rare rig, air bearing, less than 10 customer units, the most effective air bearing arm ever designed. Awesome.
Five or six high end low output moving coils
van den Hul The Grail SE.
Other amps are Audio Research.
Cabling is mostly Siltech.
I don't tweak much and don't spend money on passive components, save the room which has been purpose built.
