Ugliest Component of the Year 2024!
So, I can save some money. So, I could/can donate to Oregon Humane Society, where many dogs and cats are wait for help ($$$).  
Ugliest Component of the Year 2024!
Ugly or beautiful, I don't care. I just checked the price of the Mc CD player, $5,000. I am using Musical Fidelity CD player ($750 used, 21 yr old). Sounds still wonderful. Maybe with help of nice speakers, Vienna Mahler. Below are my opinion, j... 
Wrapping power cords and interconnects with copper foil.
why are there so many writings that look technically correct, but only the writers' opinions. I did the wrapping to my turn-table cables. just wrap. it really worked. s/n ratio was actually, really improved!!! I recorded the signal after phono-amp... 
Power cord upgrade
  To classicrockfan: You are 100% correct. As long as a power cord is thick enough to handle high current, any such a cord is good. The cheaper, the better. Power code can not affect audio sound quality (maybe 1 - 2%?). I have Vienna Mahler sp... 
Refurbished / Re-tipped Cartridges - Are they worth Buying?
I don't understand why some people still spend their effort to the expensive phono cartridge. The LP becomes sound-poorer as played (physical contact so wearing out). No matter with excellant phono system, the sound becomes worse as you play the L... 
Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier
To anyone: First of all, can anyone tell how the good power cable is better than not-so-good cable, in terms of scientific description? (rather than "feeling better, ...", "just really better") If you are not old (younger than 50 years old), the... 
New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound?
"lordrootman" We should agree to what "lordrootman" said/thought. Even $100 power cord is not necessary. I love to listen to music, not snake-oil like expensive gears. When you put an expensive part to your audio system, your brain has already... 
What if a high end speaker measures really badly?
Someone said: "If it measures badly and sounds good, it is good. "If it measures good and sounds bad, it is bad." That may be true. No, not true. Never! If you feel good even if poor measurement, your listening comprehension is not perfect tho... 
Records not stored vertically for decades
Just play the LPS. If it sounds ok, it is ok. So simple, just ply!.  LPs are not the best audio format, so I do not spend any extra energy with the LPs. Maybe, somebody, emotionally, thinks the LPs very valuable. But, not me, though I do have >... 
Preamp - what's the purpose?
there was once a description of sound. American sound and British sound. am. sound = big scale, br. sound = detailed. americans like exaggerated sound such as boomy, more bass. this is not true to the original music.  cooked fish with no sauce... 
Upgraded my cables and they transformed my system!!!
not angry. simply because we don need to support any manufacturers who sell over-priced products!  
Selling here on Audiogon
if you think the listed prices are not reasonable, do not buy them. then, the dealers' items will expire.  then, listed again, expired, ... this is one of the ways to make prices reasonable.  
Upgraded my cables and they transformed my system!!!
everybody is talking about unnecessarily expensive cables without scientific data/proof. all audio components are made of signal transfer lines (also kind of cables) internally. so, why not changing/upgrading the internal cables? DO NOT WASTE A... 
Experiences With Costly Balanced XLR Interconnects Above $3,000
I am very happy to find there is a person who is really sensibly correct. The person is "rtorchia". I wish everybody should be like him! Therefore, unnecessarily-expensive audio components will be perished from the Earth!  
DAC as pre amp
input impedance: preamp = usually 47k                         power amp = >20k  inexpensive cd player output = 100 - 200 direct connection (cd + power amp) 200 ohm/ 20k ohm = 1/100  no meaningful signal loss @ low and high frequency regions...
