| XLR to RCA to XLR Jedinite, thanks very much. Regarding ferrites, they will not help a hum problem, as they are only effective at radio frequencies (and higher).05-29-12: DbphdI used a female XLR to male RCA adapter into the KUBE from the XLR line out of a Cary 11a... | |
| REL subwofer High Level vs Low Level connection 05-29-12: Xti16Al that reminds me of Eli the Ice manPrecisely!Best regards,-- Al | |

| REL subwofer High Level vs Low Level connection Lewhite, not sure that I understand the question, but the group delay behavior of an inductor will depend on both the amount of inductance and the design of the circuit that it is part of. Whether the inductor has an air core or a ferromagnetic co... | |
| the natural sound of a cymbal A point to be aware of about the Sheffield Drum Record, especially by those who may consider purchasing it after reading some of the posts above.From the liner notes of the Track & Drum Record CD:The analogue disc was played back with a Techni... | |
| XLR to RCA to XLR Assuming that the KUBE is connected between the processor and the amp, and if it has a 3-prong AC power plug, chances are that the noise is being caused by a ground loop between the KUBE and one or both of the other two components.To verify that, ... | |
| Fuses that matter. Nonoise, if you happen to have a multimeter can you indicate what your line voltage is, at the time of day at which you most often listen?Also, my compliments on voicing the thought that LESSENED ability of a system/room/power source combination t... | |

| Phono Section, Preamp, gain matching for noise Therefore even though the signal is attenuated almost all the time I am getting the benefit of an active preamp, would you agree?Yes, certainly. Although there are some rare exceptions, nearly all active preamps have the volume control mechanism a... | |
| Tube mixing Wolfie, if the Large Hadron Collider is in use at the time you try this, the result will be a black hole that will eventually suck in the entire known universe.If the LHC is not in use at the time, I agree with Mlsstl that the result would be a si... | |
| Biwire speakers See this thread. My comment in that thread, while obviously somewhat tongue-in-cheek, I think pretty much says it all:02-07-12: AlmargHaving followed many prior threads that have addressed this question, I can say unequivocally that a clear consen... | |
| Phono Section, Preamp, gain matching for noise The reason the SNR specs for the Pulsus (and most other phono stages) worsen as the gain setting is increased is probably that they are defined relative to a reference level at the output of the phono stage that is the same, regardless of gain set... | |
| Explain Class D amps to "non audiophile friends" 05-22-12: JeffatusQuestion: it appears to me that class A, B or A/B share some similarities, yet class D seems worlds apart from the rest. Is this correct? Could you compare the differences between class D and class A or B amplification?Yes, it is... | |
| Explain Class D amps to "non audiophile friends" Jeff, this Wikipedia writeup should help to clarify what has been said. The entire article is well worth reading, but note particularly the block diagram, and the paragraph headed "Signal Modulation" that describes it.As noted in the article there... | |
| Early digital recordings on vinyl vs. CD? 05-22-12: Johnnyb53The early digital classical LPs have the advantage that they were probably mastered from the native mode of the digital recording, and definitely done through a pro-quality DAC. With CDs, regardless of the original sampling rate... |
