SWL Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I've read others comment on the jumpers. Probably real because of an inferior jumper.Yeah, and I figured what the heck.....might as well try it since virtually everything else I changed from original was a positive improvement. There is no doubt about that.Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be audible to the human ear? I dunno. That's kind of hard to A/B test Maybe one of those altitude chambers that athletes train in... Well, Isn't a speaker an air pump of sorts? It moves air to make sound so why wouldn't atmospheric pressure make a difference? If the air is thinner at high elevations, it could very well affect how a speaker performs. We know in lower lands where the air is more dense we get Thicker Bass. In Denver you get more air in the highs due to thin air and second hand smoke from blunts being smoked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably didn't change the cables. I was actually serious about my opinion that outdoor concerts sound better once it gets dark. Experienced this many times. Maybe not actually better and just different, but perceived as better, because of this situation.

Schu Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I think the same about my home system also... probably due to the curtains all being closed and a slightly denser atmosphere, but the system just sound better at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDBRbuilder Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Air generally gets DENSER in the evenings and at night...due to temperature drops, increased humidity and such....any infantryman can tell you that sound travels farther at night in still air than it does in the daytime....especially in a humid environment, such as a forest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in the desert, the air is denser at night...since it gets cooler at night. Heat expands, colder air does the opposite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmi Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Thanks to everyone for their comments. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has experienced differences in cables, and I respect the skeptics opinions as well. This audio journey is certainly turned out to be a learning experience!

Emile Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 OK; think I will be "killed" for this one ... just moved some speakers around (as I "put in" my new KPT-904's ) and one speaker wire was short. Found an old spool of 14/2 speaker wire in my garage ... looked a little "green" due to oxidation splice it in and hooked it up. Awesome sound Cheers, Emile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ODS123 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 A true story from several years ago: I bought a Monster powerstrip to protect my Bryston amp from power surges. I pulled the plug of the Bryston amp from the wall, plugged it into the Monster strip and listened. Though I had been highly skeptical about the benefits of power conditioning I was amazed by what I heard. ..My amp sounded better in ways I couldn't quite articulate. The sound was smoother, cleaner and just more "right". ..Just to make sure I wasn't just imagining things, I switched back and fourth a couple times. Yep, there was no mistaking it. I decided to go back one last time. I unplugged the amp. ..And before plugging it back into the wall I decided to switch on the TV to see how my man Federer was doing during the Wimbledon finals. I hit the TV power button and..... nothing. Huh?? ..I tried again.... nothing. Turns out, during the whole exercise..I wasn't switching the Bryston's power cord back and forth b/w the wall outlet and the Monster strip, I was switching the TV's. Case in point: Expectation Bias is very powerful. .It explains why Asthma patients who are given an inhaler w/ placebo medication in clinical trials experience a 30% reduction in symptoms. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
