Jeff In San Diego Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 There have been a lot of polls on this site lately. I just wondered whether or not they are a good thing. (The user interface is a bit wonky -- looks like you have to submit the thread before you can build the poll!) New guy here - old guy elsewhere...Mac Mini - BitPerfect - USB - Schiit Bifrost DAC - shit cable - Musical Fidelity A3.5 - home-brew speakers designed to prioritize phase and time response (Accuton ceramic dome drivers and first-order crossovers) and a very cheaply but well corrected room...old head, old ears, conventionally connected to an old brain with outdated software.

souptin Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Why no multiple choice options? Link to comment
Boris75 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I like polls - and especially the ones proposed by wgscott. Link to comment
Audio_ELF Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I always prefer wooden polls... such a warm material, not cold like metal... Eloise --- ...in my opinion / experience... While I agree "Everything may matter" working out what actually affects the sound is a trickier thing. And I agree "Trust your ears" but equally don't allow them to fool you - trust them with a bit of skepticism. keep your mind open... But mind your brain doesn't fall out. Link to comment

Jud Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Just had to put in a smiling vote for the runaway winner (in the same jovial spirit in which I assume it was intended, even if your avatar wrote with "a pen warmed-up in hell"). :-) One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. - Einstein Computer, Audirvana -> optical Ethernet to Fitlet3 -> Fibbr Alpha Optical USB -> iFi NEO iDSD DAC -> Apollon Audio 1ET400A Mini (Purifi based) -> Vandersteen 3A Signature.
