| Does anyone have any experience with Revel M126Be speakers? Talking to Revel reps, at Audiogon, they have stated the M126Be is a gem of a speaker. Most of them own them. | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords @audphile1 There is one big thing you missed in your list. Maybe there are no differences? That could be a possibility also. That list was classic audiophile bullshit and arrogance. | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords @mrdecibel actually you are. Science doesn’t back nonsense. Cable break in is nonsense. Your ears get used to sound in that time - how can carrying electrons change? That would violate the laws of physics. I find y'all entertaining. Please gone o... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews @amir_asr These people believe the old urban legends. That is what much of this hobby was founded on. Measurements are fine (I think they are an important first step), but an acoustically bad room will make the best equipment sound bad and visa v... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords ROFL - 100 HOURS. What a joke. | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords Rhodium is the most expensive metal in the world currently. It is used in catalysis in the (converters in your car, albeit small amount) and in the petrochemical industry. Rhodium is currently 4750.00 USD per Oz. Copper is the best metal for cond... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords @mrdecibel rhodium has 50% conductivity of copper and 70% conductivity of gold. So you are adding more resistance using rhodium as well as expense. Some rhodium compounds are highly toxic also. | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews @mlsstl and yet, here you are, talking about ASR. Must have tweaked something that annoyed you. You know the saying, "any publicity is good publicity". | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? @helomech How many 'Golden ears' have been through that training. I bet one could count the number on one hand. That IS THE POINT. No standards. | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? I am lucky, because at 63, I can still hear 16K in one ear and 13K in the other since I have been in medical monitoring at work. I use ear protection and ear plugs when it gets too loud, like at concerts and work. | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews @pynkfloydd As opposed to here on Audiogon, asking about how to ’break in’ speaker wire? They just move electrons, there is nothing to break in. Please stop. Every board has idiotic threads. | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? @helomech That is BS. Who trained them to hear that way. I would say fine, if they were a trained musician. Not supposed golden ears. I have been when a few were fooled by low-cost systems when they couldn't see the system playing. I went through... | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? @cdc You don’t have the reviewers’ ears. So, anything subjective said is like throwing darts. I ignore the subjective crap they throw out because it is useless to me. I look at the measurements on Stereophile - ignore the platitudes. | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews @mahgister I have foibles just like anyone else, but as the old saying goes, "I have no dog in this fight'. I just feel people should listen and discuss rationally. I have issues getting out of hand, just like anyone else. It is easy, when you jus... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Also, today is Bandcamp Friday where more money goes to the artists. |
