| Best Ways to Organize a Classical Record LP Collection ? What I’ve done is to first sort into the following categories, and then within each category by composer, or by the composer of either the major work or the work that is of greatest interest to me in the case of recordings having works by multiple... | |
| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS Peter, you’ve probably seen various references I’ve made to Littelfuse datasheets in the thread on SR fuses. And yes, Littelfuse is definitely to be commended for the very comprehensive, technically unimpeachable, and confidence inspiring informat... | |
| Where is the signal blocked? In the case of a speaker that provides separate low frequency and mid/high frequency terminals (that are truly separate; there may be some designs in which they are not), the crossover will minimize or eliminate the low frequency content of the cu... | |
| Isolating Digital Noise, need help. Good comments by Jim (Jea48). As far as the readings I'm getting, do I need a better multi-meter? Nothing that has been said so far suggests that to me. See my comments from yesterday about how to try the jumpers if XLR pins 2 and 3 both measure... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... This is ... a hypotenuse. Being familiar with the witticisms that are often seen in Geoff's posts, I assume that this mischoice of words was intentional. :-)Regards,-- Al | |
| Isolating Digital Noise, need help. Thanks, Jim. Regarding ... UL says the equipment ground must be connected, bonded, directly to the chassis doesn’t it? ... Shortly after submitting my post, and shortly before you responded, I revised the paragraph you quoted from as follows: In a... | |
| Isolating Digital Noise, need help. Jim (Jea48), you provided an excerpt and a link to Mr. Hansen’s statement in the last post on this page. However, I would not interpret his statement to mean that signal ground should be connected **directly** to the chassis, as that can be conduc... | |
| Isolating Digital Noise, need help. Thanks Jim. As with the CD2 only the digital outputs are transformer coupled. And I don’t see any issues with the unbalanced analog outputs Lowrider is using, or with using a Jensen transformer between those outputs and the preamp (assuming cable ... | |
| Isolating Digital Noise, need help. Thanks, Jim (Jea48). Note, though, that the transformer coupled outputs shown on the schematic you linked to are the digital outputs, not the analog outputs which Lowrider is using. Although that schematic is for the CD2, rather than the CD3 Mk... | |
| Isolating Digital Noise, need help. I believe this proves that the ARC CDP is introducing noise into the shared dedicated line and needs to be isolated. Yes, but per my previous post perhaps the extension cord itself would provide sufficient isolation, when plugged into the outlet t... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Jafreeman, it appears that this is the Furutech paper you were referring to. I read through it. It appears to me to be written more intelligently than a lot of the cable literature manufacturers provide. Although the quantitative significance of a... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Well, George, sometimes the view from the top of a fence can be an interesting one :-)BTW, I'm sure OP's statement that you quoted was said with tongue firmly planted in cheek. :-)Best regards,-- Al | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Jafreeman, as I've said at various times during the course of the thread I don't question or even doubt the many positive experiences that have been reported with these fuses. I say that due to both the high degree of consistency of those report... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Geoff, note that Wolfie referred to a **reasonable** explanation. As I indicated in my post dated 3-25-2016 the explanations that have been cited are hypotheses at best. Unless the specific adverse effects of stock fuses that are claimed to be min... | |
| Isolating Digital Noise, need help. Lowrider, I had previously suggested trying the CDP’s stock power cord on the preamp. However, given that it is now evident that the CDP’s stock power cord doesn’t fully eliminate the problem when used on the CDP, what I would suggest is that you ... |
