Commando soles are the most hard wearing & comfortable, Dainite look a bit smarter but less comfortable. I tend to reserve leather soles for ones that I wear less regularly. The beauty of bench made welted shoes is that you can change the full sole over. I replaced the leather sole on my Chesters with a rubber dainite one.Seeing as it’s changed to a footwear thread, how do you guys with Church and Loake manage with leather soles?
It may be the way I walk but with Loakes I would eat through soles and ended up getting rubber ones fitted, but even they would go after approx 4 months. I was doing a lot of pavement walking at the time.
And in the rain!! Like walking on an ice rink with leather soles.

You are obviously not an experienced audiophile. You probably even listen to music. Stay happy! I am much the same. ATC, DAC, Roon. Birkenstocks or running shoes.I have these ATC speakers in my front room, control is a benchmark dac2 used as a DAC and preamp depending on source.
Recently I added a minidsp SHD to sort the Bass out below 60 Hz.
Source is a Rega Saturn and the minidsp acts as a Roon endpoint.
I have paid no attention to cables, but it does sound great.
One thing that rings true from the noise in this thread is that most hifi enthusiasts have never experienced what their existing kit is capable of,…
I'd love a pair of Trickers Stow, a great looking boot.Trickers shoes are over £500 now but people pay more for a bit of wire so it’s all relative.

They are very nice, Abbot's Shoes is worth a look, they sell nearly new & reconditioned. Can recommend.I'd love a pair of Trickers Stow, a great looking boot.
Very simple. Seeing pics and descriptions of setups that are devoid of any room treatment or even considered speaker placement speaks volumes. No need to experience it in person to know it’s compromised.How on earth could you know what others are experiencing?
Their belief system knows. But somehow it's not a sighted bias. How that works is a mystery.How on earth could you know what others are experiencing?
Spending all effort on enhancements on secondary effects makes no more sense.It is funny though spending thousands on cables on a high end system if you haven't sorted out the room acoustics prior.
Birkenstocks while listening to music, I use any old kettle plug on the ATC’s - one of the 50’s even plugs into a 6 way extension.
But the music sounds wonderful.
Not sure what you mean. If you mean room acoustics I would class that as a primary effect on the perceived outcome. And I'm assuming some high-end gear already in place. I don't expect people with intro-level gear to spend big on acoustics. Not sure what "all effort" means either.Spending all effort on enhancements on secondary effects makes no more sense.
I think you've made some valid, if somewhat circumlocutory, contributions to this thread, but are you questioning the value of room treatment? I am very happy to experiment with cables, but I would always prioritise optimising room acoustics and speaker positioning, and urge others to do the same.Spending all effort on enhancements on secondary effects makes no more sense.
Primary effects are those made by the system, deficiencies never to be corrected after the fact. Secondary effects are those inflicted on that original output and sound. While neither of us would expect* people with entry level systems to spend big on acoustics, people with top notch systems commonly get their superb sound in typical living spaces. Sometimes the finest sound happens in what room people would completely dismiss, unheard. They would be mistaken.Not sure what you mean.
