I've had the Enigma for a few months. The change it makes is much as blubliss describes. It enlarges everything: sound stage, volume, dynamics, clarity. This is much as you would suppose from the theory of it, namely, that it creates a quantum tunnel within the cable thru which the...

Semantics may be a bore, but the words involved in this broad topic DO have standard meanings: Compassion: "sympathetic consciousness of others' distress together with a desire to alleviate it" Altruism: " 1 : unselfish regard for or devotion to the welfare of others 2 : behavior by an...

If you need to find a psychiatric-like term for it "schizoid" is closer though also really inappropriate for what you seem to be talking about. The fact that you are concerned about it makes anything to really worry about unlikely. Lots of things in modern life contribute to detachment and...

Quote: Originally Posted by boomana I was referring Riboge's defensive of you. You did not ask for sympathy. Your posts asked for responses of suspicion, frustration, and disgust. You toyed with people from the get-go when all they were trying to do was make sense of the situation. You...

While I was writing and posting my just previous post Sovkiller made a statement that I find admirable and I thank him for it.

Quote: Originally Posted by PFKMan23 If you look at the Jena Labs website, it seems they will be posting a reply. You omit that they do reply there. I wonder why. For what it's worth, looking to that site one also reads that they corroborate that the much maligned Morph201 is not...

The issue of searching and starting at a new Year Zero that Markl raised is a serious one. It reminds me of my long-standing frustration with the search function in general at Head-Fi. It is too limited and unspecific. And it is segregated to searches within a given forum or topic. Many other...

I agree with the others about reverting to the old FS format. Otherwise, I like the changes and hope that as the various messes resolve we end up better off. I like vcoheda's criteria for defining high-end given the sad reality of needing to establish this class division. Some line needs...

The announced High-End Forum seems a good idea given how things have developed here in recent times, but it is sad that those with more expensive equipment have to be segregated to achieve comfort for all. I do not like the collapsing of For Sale/Trade Forums to, in effect, a single forum...
