| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? "I guess you could say the same about black holes, the big bang, relativity theory, teleportation and the atomic bomb - the preposterous nature of such things makes it extremely difficult to conceive they're real without proof or demonstration." -... | |
| Speaker Selection with "difficult" room I would suggest staying away from Paradigm speakers. I really enjoyed listening to Paradigm speakers in the store, but they are probably the brightest speakers that I've ever heard and I suspect a very poor match for you room.I own Focals (Chorus ... | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? Geoffkait - I do know about the anti-placebo and realize that people that don't beleive are less likely to hear a difference.I was very skeptical of Nordost Sort Kones. Eventually the salesman convinced me to take a set home with the promise that ... | |
| Are you an Audiophile? Can audiophiles also be skeptics as well or are the two terms mutually exclusive? I'm an audioskeptic as I believe a lot of audio improvements are called tweeks in reference to the people that believe they hear a difference. | |
| Pandora I may be upgrading soon, thanks. | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? Geoffkait - Just because a select few can hear a difference doesn't mean that their ears are actually hearing the difference. The power of suggestion is strong, I prefer to think of it as "group think" but at this point I'm not sure enough believe... | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? Would a piano sound better if the keys were cryo treated? | |
| Pandora Sfar - What I was intending to say (correctly or incorrectly) is that my receiver indicates that the Pandora files are 128 MP3 files. Am I understanding that if I pay the $34 per year I will get higher quality 192 MP3 files or will the same qualit... | |
| SACD vs. Redbook and other formats Tmsorosk - Any results? | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? Geoffkait - exactly, but what does that have to do with playback of an LP? I'm not sure I agree completely with the less vibration part (it should result in a more uniform vibration which is, in theory, why electrical current flows better though a... | |
| Pandora I use Pandora daily on my system. It's no match for a CD or SACD, but it sounds good enough to impress anyone that listens. I have to prove to them that it doesn't sound good by pulling out something better. I've been way more impressed that I wou... | |
| Two Channel -- DTS Master - HD Audio? I believe that a current AVR will take the multi channels of HD audio and output it into whatever channels you have available, in your case 2.0. I'm not sure if you'd get the same results using a blu-ray player that could output multiple analog di... | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? Theaudiotweak - In your trumpet example your supporting my statement that cryo treating increases the vibration transfer. People go to great lengths to reduce vibration in LPs.The molecular changes that result from cryo treatment is on an order of... | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? I would argue that cryo may increas the uniformity of vibration in cables and such, but uniformity isn't the path to less vibration. Sound damping is done with composite materials that have different densities and vibrations don't transfer from la... | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? Geoffkait - The stylus to LP connection is a physical transfer at the surface of the LP.This is similar to a car driving down the freeway. Let's assume that the freeway is made of machined steel and that one lane has been cryo-treated and the actu... |
