| Need more outlets Interesting, Nonoise. But at this early point in your experiments I don't think that the differences you heard should necessarily be attributed to inherent differences between the two line filters themselves.Keep in mind that what you've done chan... | |
| Song With Best Beginning It is, of course, impossible to name a "best" in any definitive way. But a song with an excellent beginning that I've enjoyed hearing recently is The Seekers' "Love Is Kind, Love Is Wine" .That its solo segments feature Judith Durham's angelic and... | |
| Need more outlets The BrickWall surge suppressor/line filter I mentioned earlier is used by a number of A'gon members, and I don't recall ever seeing any complaints about it choking off dynamics, if that is your main concern. It certainly doesn't seem to do that in... | |
| Questionable Estate Auction practice What I wonder about all of this is what did the auctioneer say to explain his actions? He had to have said something at some point, it seems to me. For example, when the items were first auctioned individually did he say anything about there being... | |
| Specific question for BADA USB converter users. Steve, I certainly agree with everything you have said, except that I'm curious as to why the optimal cable length for USB would be similar to what is optimal for S/PDIF. The rationale for 1.5 meters that is presented in your paper is based on the... | |
| Why No Power Button on Some Phono Stages? A point that I don't think has been mentioned yet is that depending on the specific design leaving it on all the time might result in greater long-term reliability than turning it on and off, especially if that is done frequently, as a result of r... | |
| regarging components that have a 20a AC IEC Instead of incurring the trouble and possible risk involved in installing an inexpensive 15 amp connector in the amplifiers, why not just put an inexpensive 20 amp connector at the equipment end of your DIY power cords?In saying that, I'm of cours... | |
| has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak Perditty, I suspect that what is behind the confusion in your exchanges with Benjie is that your 8-19-13 post gives the appearance that all of the post is being addressed to him, but you probably meant only its first sentence for him.Regards,-- Al | |
| Non-Latching or No Latch Female XLR Connector Adding to my previous post, if what you are referring to is continuing to use balanced cabling, but using an XLR to RCA adapter at its end to adapt to an RCA input, that too would defeat the noise and ground loop-related benefits of a balanced int... | |
| Non-Latching or No Latch Female XLR Connector I am thinking to put the XLR-RCA adopter as temporary solution.Keep in mind that doing this is likely to have considerably greater sonic consequences than those caused by the adapter itself. By changing the cabling from XLR to RCA (if I understand... | |
| Need more outlets I should add to my previous post that in addition to the Hammond power strip I referred to, which is basically an outlet multiplier, I use this BrickWall surge suppressor/line filter. The eight outlets on the BrickWall are not sufficient for my sy... | |
| Peak listening levels- The answer will vary greatly depending on the kind of music that is being listened to, and also on how much dynamic compression has been used in the engineering of the particular recording.I have a few classical symphonic recordings in my collecti... | |
| Need more outlets I've been pleased with this Hammond power strip.Regards,-- Al | |
| Bi amping question What causes the amp to blow if an RCA splitter is used at the pre amp sending two left signals to one amp and two right signals to the other. To the extent that the characteristics of the signals that the two paralleled amp channels are "trying" t... | |
| SATA vs USB for ripping CD's Hi Zd,I think you'll find that there are very few external optical drives available that have eSATA interfaces, with the vast majority of them being USB. Although if you were to particularly want to go eSATA for some reason you could purchase an e... |
