| Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs You won't make any difference, much less a "vast" difference just by using even the most expensive cables ( which is how almost everything is judged, by price). Expectation bias is real. | |
| DH Labs - Shunyata Cable Comparison Seems like a lot of effort and money spent on things that make no objective difference. | |
| New speakers for a new start? I would look at the GoldenEar line. They have a variety of options in a good price range. I've been very happy with the Triton 2+ | |
| Thanks to the Moderators I once made a very mild joke related to a product many of us have seen and would understand and it was removed. Are the moderators based in the South? | |
| First impressions: Silversmith Fidelium interconnects P. T. Barnum is rolling over in his grave. | |
| Recommended power cords for Quicksilver V-4 mono Whatever makes you happy (but there's no objective difference in any cable whether power, interconnect, or speaker). | |
| Do different speaker stands can really make a big sound improvement? Speaker stands make less difference than cables and those make ZERO difference. Do the math (your bank account is debited with no sonic benefit doesn't sound wise to me). | |

| It Pegged the Needle on My "BS Meter". Now, I'm A Believer. Ever Happen to You? I recently bought some of that paint that is purported to be the blackest paint in the world. To test it, I painted an older cd that had some scratches on it, put in into the player and not only were the scratches gone, it was easily, and 100% obj... | |
| The Psychology Of Collecting @gdaddy1 That behavior is absolutely baffling to me. If you run out of tp, there are several ways to clean yourself including stepping into the shower. People are getting less commonsensical by the year. | |
| Upgrading to a stand alone DAC Get the Schiit Bifrost and save a few bucks. It's maybe the best DAC for the money currently available. | |
| Diving into balanced It is "well accepted" that balanced is better by many audiophiles but not by people who understand science and objectivity. It's not. | |
| AI-Written Stereophile Articles Has it occurred to anyone reading those articles that maybe how you comprehend them has changed over the years? As for the actual content, there's only so many ways you can say "blacker blacks" or "enthusiastically recommended" before you have to ... |
