    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...

    Handbags at noon

    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

    Handbags at noon

    ....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...

    Handbags at noon

    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

    Handbags at noon

    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! >.<

    PL7000S2

    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...

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

    Then you obviously have a good 'house ground', unlike some of my Italian and Belgian customers.

    M300 Gauge Clone

    No, that would be considered bad practice imo. There are several factors that could preclude that from having a reliable outcome. A good anaelogy would be to say that you take your car to be wheel-aligned by a known, decent and calibrated alignment system, then use the car to verify whether or...
