    New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

    No one wants him at his contract price. If he was waived (or when he’s a free agent) there would be multiple teams clamoring for him. And he showed his true colors from the time he wanted out of Houston.

    AppleTV X - I am playing with something new

    @Xymox There are at least two versions of the Apple TV 4K Gen 2 box. The newer version has the HomePod on the back, while the older one does not. Can you please confirm that there aren’t any parts differences between units in the different versions of the box? Thanks!

    Who’s up for a $2800 fuse?

    Thanks for admitting what were obvious (but previously lied about) truths.

    QSA : My take on their expensive products

    All the more reason their identities should be made available. Then potential buyers or new owners can fact check this rumor, given LL21 is not going to. Previous purchasers could try the fuses to see what is now considered the manufacturer’s spec.

    QSA : My take on their expensive products

    Yes, but you don’t know they “are using them in their amplifiers.” Even if they are, it‘s not going to change the mind of the vehemently anti-fusers.

    If tape is so good why does it record so poorly?

    Your hypothesis on digital was incorrect. The level of noise is much lower, and may not be audible to you, but there is digital distortion and processing added at each stage. The continued attempts to advance digital shows many aren’t fully happy with the results. Digital is common in recording...

    PS Audio Introduces the Aspen FR30 Loudspeaker

    Expect Fremer to gush! They’ve gone a little too industrial for my liking. First, they released the “microwave” P20. Now, look at a white FR30 directly from the side, and tell me they didn’t add the matching refrigerator.

    floating speaker cables.....on the cheap

    I don’t remember which forum it was from, but someone tested the theory, and his data backed it up. It only makes sense, as something else in touch with the dielectric, and another potential magnetic field. That‘s why the original ceramic cable elevators made sense to stop this problem. The...

    QSA : My take on their expensive products

    What’s the purpose of spreading rumors, then? How does it further the discussion if you won’t say which manufacturers, and you aren’t going to bother fact checking the rumor?

    New Recording Technique At New Record Label By David Chesky

    I applaud Chesky for trying something new. DSP gets a thumbs down from me, as it’s unneeded, if he got away from his “two microphones” mindset.

    There’s the static element, as well. Especially for those with carpet or rugs.

    floating speaker cables.....on the cheap

    Do you know what they’re made of? Is it a foam?

    floating speaker cables.....on the cheap

    This shouldn’t have been a shocker, as you were adding the high resonant points of metal and marble. That’s why I look at all of the high priced metal footers and chuckle. Que sera, sera.

    Introducing Center Stage 2M

    JL, I hope your business is doing well. That said, what a shocker……NOT!!! I was right and you were wrong! It didn’t take Nostradamus to guess the future. Are you big enough to admit your mea culpa and apologize to bazelio and me? With my last response you knew I was right back then, and you...

    Synergistic Research Galileo PowerCell SX + SRX power cable

    Did either of you try the PowerCell 12 UEF SE with the upgraded power cord? I would guess that anyone with the 12 and Blue outlets would find quite similar performance with the upgraded power cord and only using one component per duplex (6 max). Your conditioners will be old hat in a year when...

    Greg Weaver Reviews Center Stage 2 In Positive Feedback

    Absolutely not! That and your understanding of the matter are illogical. If there is no new version like he claims, there will never be anything to upgrade for free. In other words, he would lose nothing if he is certain of what he says. I am not Joe, nor do I know what he is thinking, but...

    Greg Weaver Reviews Center Stage 2 In Positive Feedback

    JL, With all due respect, are you claiming some type of clairvoyance? 1) When you released the CS1, did you intend to release the CS2? 2) If serendipity or advancement in materials occurred, whether for your stands or footers, are you saying you will never release a CS3 or other newly named...

    Greg Weaver Reviews Center Stage 2 In Positive Feedback

    I have no input on the back and forth, as isolation like all elements will come down to the listener and their system. As such, I have no problem with subjective reviews, and any unbridled enthusiasm. CS buyers are spending their money, so if they feel it's worth their money, it is. I...

    Vibration Isolating Amplifier Stands on Wheels

    Herbie's makes his Little Fat Glider and Giant Fat Glider which could be used as audiophile castors with your choice of amp stand. You could see if they can add the adhesive on their tops, so they won't move around in relation to the amp stand...

    Why No Treble and Bass Controls on High-End Audio Pre-amplifiers?

    I haven't read through the whole thread, but some people seem to be assuming that only one person decides the sound of the recording. The recording engineer, mixing engineer, mastering engineer, producer/s, and artist/s all have a say on the final sound of a recording. Live to tape will combine...

    Alpha and Delta NR VS Zitron and Older Line

    For the unassuming buyer, they look very authentic. There are a couple major differences, especially, looking at the connectors. Real: https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649229361-shunyata-cobra-etron-175m-15a/ https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649235573-shunyata-cobra-etron-175m-15a/...

    Alpha and Delta NR VS Zitron and Older Line

    I would be wary of buying Cobra Zi-tron power cords. This isn't about sound quality, but it is one Shunyata cable that China decided to copy. They've done an amazing job, including a box, materials, and serial number. There is one seller on eBay selling the counterfeit Cobras and many other...

    Alpha and Delta NR VS Zitron and Older Line

    The Zi-tron Ananconda and Python were both listed as using CopperCONN connectors, and copper VTX conductors. I had thought all of the Zi-tron PowerSnakes & Greek power cords used copper conductors, and silver-plated copper conductors hadn't been used in power cords since the first generation and...

    Shunyata DENALI

    I am not trying to appear confrontational. The fact still remains that you have not answered my original question: Does the Triton v2 offer greater DTCD/instantaneous current delivery than the Triton v3? This is a yes or no question. The possible answers are: 1) Yes, the Triton v2 offers...

    Shunyata DENALI

    Of course you can isolate a single performance parameter. It's the same in cars. You can measure the weight, HP, torque, etc. We agree that a single performance parameter does not determine the final performance. In your previous quote, you seemed to imply that while the Denali has greater...
