Do phono cartridges actually need a break in period or is that also just audiophile garbage? It makes sense since it's has moving parts, but I don't want to spread bullshit through my own ignorance.

I like keeping money local too, so I just bought the cheapest speaker wire they had at the Radioshack down the street. I could have gotten it cheaper on monoprice, but I like keeping this place around, it's an old school Radioshack that sells all the electronic components and has the creepy guy in the basement that fixes stereos.

BANME.sh posted:16 gauge is fine for 99% of home use. It only becomes a problem if you are running lengths over 50 feet or pushing more than 100 watts RMS per channel. You can go up to 14, but 12 is absolutely overkill. My amp has 255 wpc rms and the manual says "Standard 18 gauge lamp cord" as a minimum. I think I used 16 or 14 gauge cable anyway since that's what I already had.

Is the Sonos stuff audiophile garbage or it ok? My roommate got one of these for free from his company since they sell them. It's pretty neat, but $350 for what is basically an Apple TV that does less seems kind of crazy.

I think they want Beats for the music subscription service, but the headphones seem popular and money is money.

Well, you've struck the mother lode.quote:This is because you are such one which stands as the last word in the first sentence. Is this a Danish idiom that doesn't translate well or did google translate just mangle it.

KozmoNaut posted:I'm not quite sure what his intention was, because the sentence is clunky in Danish, as well. Oh I get it, if what you quoted is the full post... quote:First, I note that you are an idiot. (You can Google the last word). And I will say that I very well remember a stereo I listened to in 1973. It was with Harman Kardon amplifiers and JBL Paragon. I can prove it. But I'm not going to. This is because you are such one which stands as the last word in the first sentence. The last word of the first sentence of that post is 'idiot', so he's calling you an idiot. Its obtuse, but I bet that is what he meant. Did he tell you to google it because he used the English word "idiot", an obscure Danish word that means that or was it an attempt to imply you are slow.

KozmoNaut posted:E: And don't forget your magic magnetic talisman. Demagnetize everything, including the speaker drivers! There's a magnet on every driver and the phono cartridge, so if you actually demagnetized all of that nothing would work right? Also, it literally is called the talisman, I thought you were just making fun of him. I wonder if the company that sold it to him named it that tongue-in-cheek because they know it's bullshit. The talisman costs $275 by the way, https://walkeraudio.com/shop/talisman-magnetic-optimizer/ edit: also, I don't know what his mkIII cost but the new mkV is $105,000, https://walkeraudio.com/proscenium-black-diamond-contd/ double edit: That whole site is full of good stuff, especially the 'System-enhancing Products' section quote:Last year, we improved our Reference record clamp by adding our Black Diamond technology. Now, we’ve improved the record clamp again with the White Diamond crystal on top that intercepts and cancels harmful RF interference. Crystals, like new age healing, but for your stereo. And at an affordable $1995 why wouldn't you buy this record clamp: https://walkeraudio.com/?product=record-clamp eggsovereasy fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Jul 13, 2014 |
