| morrow audio The recommended load for both the high and low output versions of the Sonata is 47K. Assuming your loading is in that vicinity, the amount of current flowing through the phono cable under typical music conditions would be in the rough ballpark of ... | |
| morrow audio I find it to be surprising also, because I'm not sure how the miniscule amounts of current that flow through a phono cable could result in a difference between when the cable is used frequently and when it is not used for some length of time.If yo... | |
| TT stopping in midstream of playback? Perplexed. A couple of thoughts/guesses that occur to me based on the fact that the power supply uses digital signal processing to control the motor:1)Are the power supply, or its power cord, or its output cable, located in close physical proximity to someth... | |
| Can a balanced cable be terminated with rca's You can order Mogami 2534 cable, which is perhaps their most widely used model in balanced XLR applications, terminated with RCA connectors and in various lengths and colors, from Markertek.I have done that, with excellent results in my system.Reg... | |
| Cables more hype than value? I would commend to everyone's attention a highly informative post by Ralph Karsten of Atma-Sphere in this thread, that is relevant to what is being discussed here. Interconnect cable differences could be completely eliminated if components were de... | |

| Can we increase dynamics? Hi Kijanki,Sony Sound Forge Pro 10, which is a high quality professionally oriented audio editing program, includes a "graphic dynamics" effect, which allows the user to arbitrarily define a curve of output level vs. input level (the curve actuall... | |
| Have cables become somewhat of a snake-oil topic. 03-20-13: HifiharvHey, what is that Japanese cable they consider the gold standard? Mogami.03-20-13: Onhwy61Good question and great post ....I'll second that.One point I would add is that both technical considerations and a considerable amount of ... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? JN, thanks very much for the additional insights! All of which strike me as being highly plausible, notwithstanding the fact that I have never before seen them so stated. And I strongly second the subsequent comment by Corazon.I would commend to e... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? JNeutron, thanks for your obviously very knowledgeable inputs. Yes, there are clearly a number of oversimplifications and "inaccuracies" (which I prefer to think of as "rough order of magnitude approximations") in what has been said in this thread... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? 03-17-13: GregmRower30: your original post & further "articles" are very interesting and, if i may say so, a significant contribution to the community. I'll second that. Your writeups make a great many excellent and important points. Well done... | |
| Now That You've Ripped Your Entire Collection... Rhanson, I have no Mac experience, but I would think that it should be possible to set things up such that the wifi device (an iPad, perhaps?) and the Mac Mini can communicate with each other without the cable service and the internet (or the cabl... | |
| The Weavers Although I happen to not be a Weavers fan, I would call this review of the original "Weavers at Carnegie Hall" album (not the "Reunion" album) to the attention of those who have offered sarcastic comments. It was written by a noted popular music c... | |
| The Weavers I wouldn't mind hearing of other vocal harmonies recordings that are great.Here are a couple to consider (sound quality aside):"Today" -- The New Christy Minstrels (one of my favorites)"I'll Never Find Another You" -- The SeekersRegards,-- Al | |
| Cables more hype than value? I am in agreement with a lot of Irv's comments about the Analysis Plus papers, shown here and here. However, I would rate the quality, intelligence, and technical persuasiveness of those presentations MUCH higher than that of the vast majority of ... |
