Synergistic Research SR30 Power Cables
how much do these power cables cost?  
I found audio nirvana....
@russ69 I take that back --> I’m still in audiophile. However, I am no longer spending money on hi-fi. I just took the bass grill off the Logitech Z130. Wow. What a world of difference! Bass lines are now clear/distinct. sounds awesome!!

@cleeds  Thanks! I'd recommend them for non-serious listening.

@cd318   Perhaps the real problem with high performance systems is that they’re just too revealing for the majority of recordings out there? A bit like studying some of the old classic paintings with a magnifying glass? It’s true. Goes to s...

Logitec Z130 speakers !  
I found audio nirvana....
This reads like someone who cannot cook having their first Big Mac, then trying to convince the world that fine cuisine is a waste of time. @noromance Maybe it does! But that was not my intention here. The Logitec Z130 sound absolutely fanta... 
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
OP, @fleschler  I don’t worry about my equipment unless it fails. I never worry about tweaks or cables. The last time I had to choose a cable was after I purchased my first DAC and transport in 2019.  I auditioned six and chose one, the Synergis... 
AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend.........
@digitalviper  Good luck with your life goals. Actually, I'd rather be on the side of science now than all the conjecture I've heard from others here on audiogon. All the best with building your dream audio system.  
Good-sounding audio components?
whatever that nets me...it should sound good enough; but I'm not going overboard.

I think about $500    
un-becoming an audiophile
@simonmoon First of all, it seems to imply a ’no true Scotsman’ fallacy. As if, being an audiophile negates the ability to love music first, and foremost. When I set down to listen to music, I am fully immersed in the music. I do not sit there... 
un-becoming an audiophile
@bigtwin  Great post! You have a balanced way of looking at this hobby from above...you've got a fantastic audio system, yet don't try to push others towards what you want/have. If others want to get lost in the magic of a power cable, that's al... 
CD playback, DAC vs. op-amp/discrete components, and the advances? Where are we?
true, all audio components sound different - even if intended for the same purpose, same specs or very close etc. in terms of improvements, I am moving away from his hobby. Instead of chasing this audio butterfly, imagine just being able to enjoy... 
Good-sounding audio components?
actually.... i'm trying to un-become an audiophile, now.

@digitalviper  dude you need to stay away from ASR. The fact of the matter is, Amir may be able to measure gear. And sure, that gear measures really well. But does he ever ask why? - nope.  ASR is a terrible source of info. All I need now is t...
