    Interlinks don’t do anything! Or do they? 32 rca cables analyzed

    Audiophiles probably think that this guy is a P... :ROFLMAO:

    The Cape Town Hi-Fi Club

    This doesn't surprise me. I expect the differences to be subtle, and only perceptible when doing direct comparisons. My main interest is in learning about the user experience and the various setup options. I would particularly like to understand the echo-system(s) and know how plug-and-play...

    The Cape Town Hi-Fi Club

    Me, too! I was really looking forward to this particular meeting. It did not make sense for me to make the trip in the prevailing weather, though. I hope there will be another presentation of its kind.

    How music has changed.

    I get where this guy is coming from, but he argues like he's still stuck in his teens. I tried really hard to make it through his video. But the weather here in Cape Town is already crap. I can't subject myself to more...

    How often does an amp need servicing?

    One thing about a circuit such as an amplifier is that it can conceal degraded components. Negative feedback can do that (getting technical now, I know), basically, correcting what is going wrong within its control loop. No technician is going to disconnect the feedback loop to see if something...

    Car specs, are there any watchdogs?

    Motor torque correlates better to acceleration than kW. kW usually correlates with top speed. All else being equal, that is.

    How music has changed.

    I agree with the title. Genre categorisation has the effect of restricting free artistic expression. In the early days of modern pop, there was a lot of "crossover", with blending of styles. The classic rock song Riders On The Storm by The Doors is contains gobs of jazz and blues, for instance...

    How music has changed.

    Yeah, I learned a lot from Rick Beato's channel. I am also recently enjoying a completely different approach by Andy Edwards - mostly talking about progressive rock. https://www.youtube.com/@AndyEdwardsDrummer

    Don't worry about that. Glad you shared your experience here. Nobody learns anything if all goes smoothly.

    Compatiblity

    Does your NAD M10 have Dirac bass management? If so, try disabling and enabling it to see if this may be affecting your sound.

    Interlinks don’t do anything! Or do they? 32 rca cables analyzed

    I'm honestly not motivated to do that. I don't believe he has anything to teach. I was being kind when I said "a missed opportunity".

    Interlinks don’t do anything! Or do they? 32 rca cables analyzed

    Can someone please help me out and explain what the outcome of that elaborate investigation was? Their measurements confirm that at RF there is some propagation delay, using a 2ns pulse. These are known characteristics. "The goal is to connect this data to what we hear." I seem to have missed...

    High quality 80s disco/house tracks

    Where can I find high quality (i.e., sound quality) versions of my favourite 80s House/Disco tracks? Of particular interest would be single versions. I want to compile a personal library of high quality audio tracks. Here is my YT play list, FYI (feel free to recommend more tracks; I'd...
