| What exactly is PRaT??? I agree that PRaT is primarily a subject term that's used to describe a feeling/experience where you find yourself sucked into the music and absent mindedly tapping your toe. I have experienced it with my system on certain recordings. From a sys... | |
| Thoughts on Cardas RCA Caps @yogiboy - Thanks for the video link. Shorting plugs are one way to block EMI/RFI, but I suspect that the Cardas plugs are designed more as a shield rather than a drain. The video was probably enough to talk me off the purchase ledge as I respec... | |
| Speakers that disappear Bose comes to mind, but only if there's at least one Synergistic Research fuse in the system. | |
| Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics? @fastfreight - I knew that it was intended in good fun. I just help myself when it comes to the underlying message of the humor. There's always a grain of truth at the heart of most good humor. I'm definitely in the camp of those that don't ... | |
| Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics? @fastfreight - I am not following your comparison between a great sounding V8 vs. a modern more powerful engine and audio cables. I think a better comparison within the audiophile world is that the sound of a V8 is part of the driving experience j... | |
| Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics? https://www.cardas.com/choosing-a-cable This link from Cardas Audio addresses your question and provides their perspective. | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. If I don't enjoy an album the first time that I listen to it then it's unlikely to be given an opportunity to grow on me. If there's a song or two that I like then I will listen to them selectively. I don't like learning to like things :-) When... | |
| Subwoofer for music only ? @elliottbnewcombjr - Can you explain more about bass becoming directional due to overtones as it relates to subwoofers? I'm sure that there's some disagreement over the frequency where sound is no longer directional, but for the sake of discussio... | |
| Subwoofer for music only ? @pennfootball71 - Isn't that expected or is there a specific reason that you think that a T7 is superior to the T5 for the OPs situation? | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love For me it was a Cambridge Audio 840A integrated. When I took my first real step into the audiophile world it was the other amplifier that I was considering. I had already stretched my budget with speakers and wasn't planning to upgrade from my c... | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers I am far from an expert on this, but for those that believe that science simply doesn’t support cable break-in, consider this: The electrical signal is a flow of free electrons in the valence shell of the copper (one example) atoms. It’s a physi... | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers @classicrockfan - The fallacy in your argument is that if cable break-in is real the marketing around cable break-in absolutely would make sense. Because of this, I don’t consider this a compelling argument. i would like to see a system setup ... | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers When it comes to break-in I will quote Dug and say, "I'm having two feelings." I have some balanced Morrow Audio MA4 interconnects. I didn't focus much on the break-in, but here's how I would describe my experience: The expectation bias was set... | |

| Can I do any better than BJC LC-1 or Gotham GAC-1 Ultra Pro for the money? @gabrielphoto - Based on your last post it appears that I may be too late to the party, but I wanted to share my limited experience with interconnects. I used the BJC LC-1 for a long time because I consider them to be a stand-up company with hone... |
