WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD?


I have seen loads of comments on cables and equipment that people have never heard. Why is that?

I pretend it’s an omelet drenched in cheese, bacon and hash browns on the side.

Every once in a while I have to indulge. All the best,

I haven't eaten  fruit, grain or vegetable in years.

“You get the room right and a $500 receiver can sound like a $$$$ amp in the average listening room that has sound waves bouncing off windows, ceilings, dry wall, etc. like its the Titanic.”

🤔- Nope

I have a treated room and it was set up by a very well known acoustical engineer that brought all the goodies with him. I also have a $500 amp sitting on a cabinet  behind me (was $3k new), unplugged.

That unit never even sounded close to the amp and preamp I use now (which obviously cost more money). There’s a reason why the worlds most renown equipment designers create their own products and charge more for it rather than working a soldering iron over at Marantz. Think about it..
 

@calvinj you asked a question and I think I provided a valid answer. Don’t shoot the messenger.

There are many nice headphones out there that are arguably not a very good value especially when it’s been demonstrated applying a proper no cost convolution filter like those available for use in Roon can take many less pricey headphones to levels that can compete with some of the best.

There are always smart buys and those that are less so.

It’s typically a matter of opinion what offers value or not and everybody has one. If one is strong in their convictions contradictory opinions of others won’t matter to them and vice versa.

it’s when we start talking about good investments financially that things become a good bit less subjective.
