    I think it's something like you get when you are listening to the music via headphones. You move your head and you can hear when the cable touches your clothes. Irritating thing.

    I have to disagree with the way people are approaching the power issue. Well at least partially. Have seen lots of time, some equipment to tackle the power issue. Some are very costly. I think it can be useful but only in houses with some issues that can have impact on the energy flow. Maybe...

    Exactly what I had in mind. Apparently there is not enough power to cause the induction in the hifi systems we are using. Can happen with heavy equipment tools cables. This in mine set - no issues with the sound and the cables are OK as well.

    I think with the cables, rolled together, or laying one on another, it wil not have an impact, because the power, amperage or voltage is just small. I am not specialist or something like that, but had this discussion with someone about rolled speaker cables, he said this wil have no impact on...

    I wonder always, why to include the measurements results in a forum around listening to the music. We use our ears to do that. Which result can be heard, by even young people. Not mention bit older folks. Our hearing isn't the best on the planet right.

    No, the expensive stuff, isn't always better ( for me it's just bit different) - but, it is almost always, much better looking :astonished::yum: When the time comes, I will look for myself something nice, probably a tube amp.

    Hi Yes, I can save some money, and not just me. Some how we all automatically assume that, most expensive stuff is usually better than cheaper. Well, above some prices, for me, it's difficult to find the difference. The headphones from the picture, were tested with the Feliks Audio Elise, at...

    I will name the headphones i did tested. I speak about the more costly headphones than the Koss Porta :relaxed: Focal Clear vs Focal Clear MG, Focal Utopia, Focal Stellia, Meze Empyrian and one of the Audeze. So prices around 1500 and more. I almost bought the Empyrian, was thinking that it...
