This is meant to be a light hearted thread.

What constitutes a bannable offense?

What gives a temporary ban, what gives a permanent one?

I'll start:

Pomposity = temp ban

Verbosity = temp ban

Pomposity + Verbosity = perm ban.

Snap, MJF, you done be gone .
That reminds me of another one:
Inept and tasteless imitation of a dialect = temp ban (after a warning of course)

I have now listened to my new cables burn in, and I am very surprised at the difference from my old Audioquests. The Supra's are much more pleasant and coherent, much less "in my face", but with a lot of details. The LF are very deep and round, and less boomy. It's amazing that a $20 per meter speaker cable can be so good. I don't hear any difference when connecting/disconnecting the shield to my amplifier's ground, but maybe I will when I get my new shoeboxes on Wednesday.

Hello,

I was curious to know if anyone has done any testing or has some scientific data on the maximum recommended distance a Digital cable should be between two components without signal degradation or issues?

In my case, I am referring to a cable run that would originate from an SPDIF-Out from a sound card to an SPDIF In on my DAC directly downstairs from my PC location.

When I was younger, I did some very stupid things that resulted in loosing a lot of my hearing. A trip to the audiologist recently provided me with some bad news, so I'll be getting a set of hearing aids before I'm 30. My question is, what now; should I adjust my eq to compensate for my hearing loss, provided I even know what normal sounds like any more, maybe just tune it to my liking? Or do we have some audiophile grade hearing aids reviewed on this site I have somehow missed? Thanks.

I've got a sizable LP collection -- including audiophile stuff like Mobile Fidelity, Chesky, etc. -- that needs to "go". While I've dabbled at eBay with buying/selling audiophile hardware, I have no experience with software, notably LPs FYI: (most of which are Mint or Near Mint) .

For those with experience, a few questions:

I was hanging down at the local used/some new record store.

Grabbed a copy of Joe Jackson "Live 1980/1986" and The Roches "Speak" for my kid, and Willie Nelson's "Moment of Forever" (with etched vinyl, no less!)

Then, just browsing, saw this...

Holy cow! A Neil LP I didn't already know about...and it's from 1978!

Haven't played it yet, but I have high hopes!

From reading about it, it seems half way between bootleg and legitimate release.
