thanks for the link to Ethan's article. I remember his work from another forum where he introduced us to the benefits of Acoustic treatment. Interesting article.

oooo, I dont know, I swear my hair feels better after certain shampoos than others.

Measuring is supposed to be the gold standard but are we really able to measure the differences? For example, music under the influence altered states of consciousness (by means of meditation, breath work, physical exercise, Sexual activity) will sound different. In some cases one is able to...

I'd have to find the youTube link to answer this one, to go into the details behind exactly why. So leave that with me for now. However, if you are going to do a conversion of Electronic-optial-Electronic the conversion will never be perfect and there will be errors introduced at each...

What is the purpose of the i2S protocol? My understanding (from someone explaining it on Youtube) was that the way the data is sent via this protocol is less prone to errors. Sure Toslink will work with any bit of plastic, I just said glass because thats what fibre optics were/are made of. I...

To decouple from the floor one could do what they do for optical tables. These are tables that a laser sits on for optical laser research. Essentially you have a massive table top, often filled with sand for mass, which sits on inflated rubber inner tubes. You will often see these on trains...

I have always wondered about this. If I spend say $1000 on an item, where is my money going, in terms of: Cost of components (HW etc), Cost of manufacturing, Engineering Design and testing (mainly staff time and expertise), Marketing, Retailers markup. I know that for Bose the bulk of...

I have done this for many years but I forget what is the reason for putting our loudspeakers, especially floor standers, on spikes? I have heard a few explanations: 1 to prevent vibrations from the loudspeaker cabinet being coupled to the floor by reducing the surface area of contact between...

There are two types of glass in an optic fibre. The inner one is the one that carries the signal via total internal reflection. There is an other glass as well but that has a refractive index that is less than the inner one. The main principle is just TIR but there are modes that can be...

what does this mean mate? I understand that you miss the Audiophonics forum (never knew they had one. Bet my other post would not have gone down too well there either!!!). What do you mean by the last bit of your post?

Danke. understood. It is the views of EEs that I really want to hear from becaue they know about the science of what makes sense and what does not. I have expertise in fibre optics and I came across a fibre Optic cable that was Gold plated to improve the sound!!! I mean the signal was all...

Danke @SSS, there are many things that are not allowed in life. Sure it can be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing but as long as safety protocols are followed there will be no fires or electrocutions. I am only talking about mains current for hi-fi equipment so the 10A rail not the...

I know for sure that we have all come across this. We can't be in an Audiophile for long before we come across products that are just Snake Oil. And in the past maybe some of us fell for them. I recall at one stage there were those green pens for coating the sides of a CD. I think I might even...

I am looking to replace my stock power chords and was wondering what size of conductors to use. The normal mains stranded cables are 2.5mm(Sq). Is there any benefit to using thicker cables, like 3.5mm(sq) for example. I have several amps all connected to a power distributor Strip, I replaced...

Well I do feel I have to put on my cape and do my duty to save people!!!!. The risk is there with any online business. The worst cost is not money but time wasted. As a business owner myself, I provide my customers with such a good service and experience that they say to themselves, "Wow. I...

This is a red flag for me. and another one. Seems that there are others at TrustPilot. Did not realise that I was in an Audiophonics fan club here. I thought the post was a genuine request for experience of them. This is the first site that came up when I googled Audiophonics.fr Reviews.

I would beg to differ with your opinion, which you are clearly entitled to. I clearly have a much higher expectation of the people that I do business with than you do. I PERSONALLY do not consider my request to be unreasonable. If they dont send samples (THAT I AM PREPARE TO PAY FOR), then I...

Meine Deutsche Freund von Hamburg, the fact that you had to make a claim under a warranty is another red flag for me. This is high End gear we are talking about, There should not be ANY claims under the warranty!!! Does not fill me with confidence about the products that they are sending out...

I took a look at the Samsung T7, at the moment I think that the cost will be prevent me from going down this route, for Now. As prices come down of SSDs I think that its certainly worth considering. The whine of a 2.5"USB does not bother me, I think either the disks are too far away from the...

I am looking for suppliers of products for DIY audio. Starting with power cables made for Hi End Audio kits. I have looked at Audiophonics.fr but at the moment I am not particularly impressed with their customer service, (lets not go into that here!). Are there any suppliers in Europe that...
