    Washing machines :(

    I have 30 years PD experience in various industries including nuclear, aerospace, semiconductor and other sectors where mission-criticality at the end-user scenarios mandate that stuff is designed and built to last. The last 4-5 years however were spent doing consultancy work in consumer goods...

    I don't know the story about Alex (ANT?) but I can imagine he probably also decided to wade to the other side of Bullshit creek and call it a day? PS's avatar used to crack me up before he changed it. He looks like the MAD comic kid

    What would you pay for a decent but basic speaker cable?

    Depends on what the price, cable type and build quality of that power cable is. If its a garbage aliexpress cable with 0.5mm conductor size costing $20 then it won't matter much. I know what you're gettting at though. The mains supply, esp here in NL is excellent, stable, clean. But a lot can...

    What would you pay for a decent but basic speaker cable?

    Interesting video. It really serves to verify that marketing bullshit, gadgets and gizmos are going to ultimately be proven to be detrimental to audio quality or are unqualifiable/unquantifiable. AQ probably thought people like this dude, Amir or anyone else etc aren't going to measure them...

    A recall from AliExpress! whodathunkit?

    Out of all the 'genuine Kester' ads on ebay, this one isn't even described as 'genuine' and just looks fake as fk. There's nothing to suggest it's genuine Kester solder whatsoever and a lot to suggest otherwise. Look at that dubious-looking box of 15 rolls. That's how Chinese sellers package...

    A recall from AliExpress! whodathunkit?

    Thanks but that actually looks like fake Kester. You can tell just by the poor print quality of the label and the sellers name also gives the game away somewhat. This stuff is also all over aliexpress. If you look at the pukka Kester solder it looks nothing like that ebay/aliexpress stuff. I...

    A recall from AliExpress! whodathunkit?

    Whodathunkit indeed! I never thought I'd receive this email from AliExpress. From those Chinese people who make buildings from tofu and cars from cardboard they would be so concerned for my health and wellbeing! lol They're also *gasp* offering a refund on the last roll I bought. Why not the...

    I'm not a betting man, but I'd be willing to wager that that was a member who's handle started with 'L' and ended with 'ucky'? lol

    ....and predictably, that thread did actually turn into a handbag-swinging session. There's really more to life. If I needed a definitive reason to stop logging in over there then it's this. As well as all the bitching over inconsequential minor details I noticed the general quality of the...

    Sound advice. I think I go there subconciously, just to verify that I can still easily rile those a$$holes. :D For anyone here remotely interested, but I think I posted it here before anyway; At least some here may benefit from Andrej's video. Fk those fkg fkrs at TH :D

    LOL All I did was repost a video on head-cleaning technique and referred to the origin as 'former banned TH member Andrej'. 'editorial bullshit' LOOL Someone really has it in for me over there. I wonder who?

    Scam site?

    Can't find any reviews or info for this site. Prices seem too good to be true and they have an item I have been searching high and low for with a very good price. But I'm suspicious. https://www.discount-audio-equipment.com/ If it looks like a scam and it smells like a scam, it's probably a...

    I'm using WFGUI for W&F but would be really interested to see an accuracy performance comparison between that and the QuantAsylum if you have the scope/time? Many comment and complain about the different weighting between WFGUI/NakT100 and other devices. Personally I take the WFGUI figures with...

    PL7000S2

    Pretty envious of your QuantAsylum. Been lusting after one for a while now but haven't pulled the trigger. There's quite a mark-up on them over here in the EU (€800) but at least no supply issues. Currently using a Wavetek 75A through the target to a Scarlett into REW for FR analysis but would...

    What would you pay for a decent but basic speaker cable?

    Haha! Probably the best way of researching anything! Different mind-states brings with it different perceptions and levels of clarity you wouldn't otherwise experience perhaps. :D Experimentation is the key though. The differences between cable variables are indeed subtle and I only ever advise...

    Sounds like you need some torque tapes in your toolbox too! >.<

    Great thread George! Those HPR tapes are amazing quality for what you actually pay for them! The quality of his previous batches were a bit questionable apparently, but now they're spot on. I'm considering ordering another set for redundancy. I also need to get some torque tapes in the...
