| Upgrading Speakers If you have the budget, why not? Looking for group justification? OK speakers are always the weakest link, so go for it. 😁 I too find the SF speakers to be very well behaved and best I have heard on the shelf in the last year. For some reason,... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! Stay skeptical. A little science if you dare: Vinyl outgasses. Vinyl is actually a very brittle plastic. You know that film on the windshield of a new car? Yea the rather toxic oils used to "plasticize" the vinyl. PP or PE do not outgas much co... | |
| Testing Ethernet switch I try to help with facts and reason. Not everyone has mega-bucks to waste on fantasies, but would still like to optimize their music experience. Spend your budget where it counts. | |
| Testing Ethernet switch Deep, you make an extraordinary claim with nothing but your belief and some other you-tuber who has no evidence either. Extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence. As I know how Ethernet works, I know of no way using the science of this u... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! Rolling up replies to be brief. Me brief? YES, everyone is under the placebo effect. All the time, for all subjects. Isn't our brain a wonderous thing? We are never objective. Not humans at least. Understanding this will go a long way in lif... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! We need to separate discussion of speaker and interconnects, which if crap can and do sound different degrading the signal, with things like Ethernet cables and power cords which you may HEAR a difference, but it is impossible by the laws of physi... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 compared to Rogue Atlas Magnum III On the speaker impedance: Speakers are horribly complex loads. Unfortunately, most amps are tested with resistive loads. Flat response into 8 Ohms etc. Well speakers have resonance peaks, phase shifts, dips or peaks due to the crossover and risin... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 compared to Rogue Atlas Magnum III Difference is between virtually no distortion and able to drive anything, vs the often preferred distortions, not well quantified, from tube amplifiers. Just my impression, but tubes seem to be more dynamic for the power. Amps like the Benchmark... | |
| unclassifiable, original music, and impossible to define in simple terms... A category you never see listed is FILK 😁 | |
| I won the stressless lottery Do keep up with the cleaner and conditioner. Even their bottom grade leather is very good but all hide needs to be fed. Armrests and the front edge get the most abuse because human skin oils are very acidic. I paid full price for mine and don;... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! If anyone can suggest a parameter of Ethernet layer one that can translate to a difference in the bits when unpacked, re-assembled, and delivered by layers 2 through 7, please suggest them so they can be investigated. Extraordinary claims requ... | |
| Value of a premium Ethernet cable I encourage folks here to do a little research on their own and understand how Ethernet works and how the IP stack works. As one member suggests, GOOGLE can be your friend. Things work the way they do, not by some made up rules because someone w... | |
| Digital input amp Actually we have health conditions that put us at high risk. It is called being smart. And yes, I am right now enjoying my JDS while waiting for the FEDX delivery. | |
| Digital input amp Passed on the DC show due to COVID. Maybe next year. Again, I hope it sounds great, but I'll never know. I put zero faith in reviews as if they are not glowing, the reviewer never gets anything to review. More BS. You have no problem suggesti... | |
| Value of a premium Ethernet cable No one has eluded because in truth, CAT-3 is more than what is needed. This is just another "reaching for magic" topic by well meaning folks who do not understand how Ethernet works. That extends to a lot of equipment makers apparently. Cost h... |
