I can't remember if this has posted on the Forum before. I found it a good read and a great companion piece to the Humble Homemade Hi-Fi thread

"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!

    yea just peachy I guess I could just stop coming here and google stuff to read............

    linky linky.......pinky pinky........winky winky.

    so we are not actually going to talk about a capacitor.....well, I suppose the membership may not understand so the recommendation of a primer may actually be ok.

    So capacitors, these things are in audio components.......they capcitate something?? maybe energy???

    carry on.

    RT1's caps are charged.
    Political Correctness'.........defined

    "A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

    I don't know ..... I kind of enjoy posted links to topics; agreed that H9's linked site wasn't necessarily on the uber level of a DarqueKnight indepth power cord review, but .... what is ? (and that's a good thing :) ).


    If I had a dime for every time I'm able to say, "Huh .... I didn't know that." my pants pockets would be jingling. Have to admit that beeswax caps were a new one on me but I'm running a Denon AVR so ..... no beeswax caps there, so I have an excuse :o.

    Googling "beeswax caps" shows that ..... well, no need to worry about having enough reading material tonight.

    Remember .... it's all good.
