| I've never believed much in cables, that said... (USB) If you have a well designed DAC, it should be less sensitive to cable. I have a Ayre QB9 DSD which has its own power supply, and the data inputs are optically isolated so it will not be as susceptible to noise coming from the USB cable. | |
| I've never believed much in cables, that said... (USB) One of the differences (among many) between water and electricity is that before turning on the faucet in your kitchen, the kitchen does not have any water in the first place. But with electricity, even before you turn on the switch of the amp, t... | |
| I've never believed much in cables, that said... (USB) ower cords also baffle me as to why they would make a difference after miles in the walls... If one uses "water" analogy, one might think so, but electricity is not water and how electric current flows sometimes can be counter-intuitive.For exa... | |
| I've never believed much in cables, that said... (USB) Like a true believer. | |
| I've never believed much in cables, that said... (USB) Andy, did you forget to take your smart pill today? A few years is three years. Did you flunk English and math? In any case it’s nit a handful. Geoff is throwing a tantrum. Is he selling smart pills on his website? | |
| I've never believed much in cables, that said... (USB) Geoff doing a copped out. | |
| I've never believed much in cables, that said... (USB) That doesn't prove anything. 50 thousands from three manufacturers in a few years? How many is a few years? Ten years?50000/10/3 = about 1500 per year? That's like peanuts compared to one million. I am sure DigiKey sells over a million fuses ... | |
| I've never believed much in cables, that said... (USB) what are you talking about? | |
| I've never believed much in cables, that said... (USB) Answer the question. | |
| I've never believed much in cables, that said... (USB) Many hundreds? Is that big? Compared to millions? | |
| I've never believed much in cables, that said... (USB) However, there is a point of diminishing returns, and the cost should be commensurate with the cost and quality of your other equipment. I think that is true within the context of the overall system cost. For example, if system A costs 10K and... | |
| I've never believed much in cables, that said... (USB) First I am not in the cable manufacturing business so this is just my guess.I was wondering the reason audio grade cables are so expensive not because of their own intrinsic quality but simply has to do with economy of scales. These high end cabl... | |
| The Science of Cables I feel guilty making fun of Prof. | |
| I've never believed much in cables, that said... (USB) It still makes little sense to me (0's and 1's). I've tried to look at tests like at ASR... but man it's the first time I really felt I can hear a difference. Yes, it's more than 1's and 0's. It has to do with jitter which can be a bit co... | |
| The Science of Cables I'm sure there is a differential equation or some such thingee that likely explains all that there. Maybe prof is working on it ... a Nobel prize candidate. |
