Lan noise reducer

Additions, whether be worthwhile or not.

New audio streamers, one in each room
Projector and screen
New programmable learning remote
New AV processor, Anthem AVM90 or similar
Replace heights with matching heights
A six channel power amplifier to replace the stack for some channels
suitable front wide and sides, I do have matching pair from the LCR range but they're rear ported so location would be tricky couldn't just push them against the wall, I'm using wall mount speakers which work well enough and not too intrusive.
Matching second subwoofer for the hifi, and dual channel subwoofer EQ unit
Replace the hifi speakers with the bigger models in the range (not worthwhile as probably too big for the room)
Replacing the standmount back surrounds with the same large floorstanding as the fronts.
Replace the stereo pre amp with one with room EQ.

What cable risers would people recommend with my speakers :0)

Celestion A Series

I own a pair of Celestion A1, A3 & A4C. Why is it every single pair of these for sale have treble drivers pushed in? Either that or the cabinets look like they've been thrown down several flights of stairs. It took me years finding these speakers, most had either treble driver poked in, damage...

Well done!! You certainly fooled us. For a long time most of thought you were serious.

Now with this statement about fuses we know you have been trolling us all along. Well done for keeping it going for so long.

Because nobody would be gullible enough to believe a fuse could make a difference to sound Quality.

Why would they lie? I've sent my life savings to a person who is orange he said that money will be used to investigate election fraud.

No different to ripping off elderly senile/dementia people off tbh. I wouldn't do it, and refuse to put the sale through.
 
Regarding that video with noise waveform.

1) Was in gigahertz and megahurtz range. Will have no effect
2) Did he show the output from the amplifiers own PSU -> storage, and storage ->rest of the component? Or just the mains level?

Not to mention most of the people who have the income to afford all the audiophile snake oil are older and their hearing would have lost sensitivity due to age so definitely won’t be hearing real differences.

Also find very snobby and up themselves, rather more relaxed and chilled out. Likely to spend £5000 on stylus etc, and put their nose up with people who use bass management, room correction, subwoofer, streamers, thinking wave is better than flac, and over wifi/ethernet is worse SQ than playing from a CD, or vinyl.

All this kind of gubbins that you can argue does work is still ultimately chasing law of diminishing returns when the primary limiting factor in audio quality is the mechanical aspect of an audio system; the loudspeakers themselves. Do yourself a favour and concentrate buying better speakers instead of chasing 1% changes. If and when you hit the limit of your speakers, then start on the room. You'll get a far better end result a lot quicker. :)

If I buy a audiophile fuse for my cooker does that mean I will be a 5 star michelin chef?

I don't own one of those.

The mains extension in my photo cost me £60 and it's superior to the homebase extensions you use. You talk about buying mono blocks costing in the many thousands, then think a £10 power extension is acceptable, not a single person into high end audio would do this.

You claim to run 7800 watts of amp power in your living room :cry:, if true totally ridiculous. At least post a photo of your amp and speakers :D

300W RMS per channel , 5 channels
200W RMS per channel , 2 channels
75W RMS per channel x 4 channels

1800W per sub, pair.
500W sub

9.3.4 system

Can you demonstrate differences using a "metal audiophile mains adapter" and masterplug etc.
 
JasonM said:
You show lack of knowledge, reasons to use an autophile mains extension over the junk you use.

1) Metal body, it shields from EMI/RFI plus it makes the extension more sturdy.
2) Higher quality wire, the Russ Andrews strip is uses OFC. Plus the RA strip wires are hand soldered to better secure them.
3) Better quality sockets, plus the ones on cheap mains strips loosen over time.
4) Shielded mains wire, I can fit a shielded mains cable. You have unshielded low grade cable that should not be run next to speaker wires.
5) Design. No neon lights that inject noise, no unnecessary switches that will impoverish the sound.

With audio it's the totally of individual improvements that makes the big difference.

Can you demonstrate that, objectively that it makes any difference at all or just personal opinion?
 
JasonM said:
What that running speaker wire next to unshielded power cable is bad?

Or the low quality sockets that get loose over time?

I don't get any noise from the speakers from mains hum, even if I'm lazy with placement speaker/subwoofer cable near mains cable.

Perhaps if you're plugging and unplugging dozens or hundreds of times, but they're pushed in and left alone.

Can you demonstrate your claims? That generic multi way extension has worse waveform over a £1000 model?

Not everyone at these shows sell mains products. In the small hotel rooms they are often only showing demo's of speakers, yet they still use audiophile mains products to improve audio in their demo. Again ask them why they use these products. You either know or you don't and you clearly don't know.

And some of them sell coffee mugs, which may or may not increase the sound quality of your hifi

You do realise the differences you claim these devices make would substantially change the waveform of the audio and would be easily shown on a scope, funny how none of these companies provide this data though, isn’t it?

Imagine if any other branch of science made claims and just used fluffy language to justify it, soundstage, detail, more analogue, bunch of language that means nothing.

Companies would be laughed out of the room.

I have access to oscilloscopes, so if he's willing to send his "audiophile" mains block I can get them tested against an Aldi mains block
