    Do 'High-End' Audio cables matter?

    Quote: this is not in Sound Science as: 1. you can't change cold hard scientific facts/results, all the results are already there, link them if you need to. 2. i don't see how having background scientific knowledge should determine how something should sound better than something else.

    turning up the volume and noticing more details?

    Do 'High-End' Audio cables matter?

    Quote:   1. well, i consider $450 to be high end. fair enough? 2. i do realize it should not be a major part of my investment in my system. but i'm happy with the SR71B, Algorhythm Solo, LCD2 rig. portable, at the very least. 3. thing is, my original question was if having really...

    Do 'High-End' Audio cables matter?

    Quote:   well i guess if a $200 cable makes the difference for you it's money well spent :/ so if lets say i have an interconnect about 30cm in length, would an interconnect of 5cm perform better? and even if it does perform better it would not be something significant right? i was...

    Do 'High-End' Audio cables matter?

    I was doing a little research on the net and so far i've gotten mixed reviews. There was one experiment where the test subject couldn't tell the difference between a monster cable and a cheap wire.   I'm using the SR71B + Algorhythm Solo + Audeze LCD2 + iPad.   Do you think cables are...

    Amp for LCD-2?

    i'm no sound engineer. :(   what i'm getting at is i've tried my lcd2 with a little dot mk3 amp. yes it does sound good but will the upgrade to the Violectric V200 or a SR71B bring a significant difference in audio quality?   and it can't be that hard to drive a headphone right. just...

    Is there a way to not pay for import tax?

    Quote: not too fond of dealing with retailers who do not have a website. and the retailer in the uk does not have one.   i don't think taxes was the main reason why Greece is in such a dire condition.. but hey, if you were saying that as a joke i'm sorry i took it too seriously. :/
