well there you have it, @millercarbon has stated that reducing the noise floor to improve dynamic range - leading to better clarity and details, larger imaging and improved PRaT - is a total waste of time and effort. As long as you can drown it all out with vinyl surface noise nobody should mind. Meanwhile buy more paste, tape, dots, and mats...which are for what again?
How Low Can You Go?
No, seriously, how low can you go when it comes to noise floor? (Hope I got this in under the right topic).
Noise Floor, one of those concepts that can supposedly improve your system overall right?
You ask yourself, "What can I do to improve my system overall without getting new equipment?"
Many will tell you, lower your noise floor.
But how far can it be improved? Obviously, everyone’s system will be different including room acoustics and so the solution will be different but I am inquiring to see there must be a point at which you say, well that is as low as it’s going to get, right?
For example, in my system just a while back I got a Isotek Evo 3 Sirius Power Bar and High Fidelity Cables MC-0.5 and I feel both together have made a noticeable difference, maybe not dramatic but noticeable (or maybe it’s just in my head).
But then I read about the following also:
- Dedicated power/circuit
- Computer Audio Design Ground Control Products
- JCAT Femto USB Card to enhance Digital Side
And the list can go on and on.
Is there a point where the floor is as low as it is going to go?
I should just shut up and enjoy the music.
