The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance
Wrong again Cleeds.If You claim that you can hear a difference on Your system, all I have to do is show that You cannot reliably detect the difference on Your system. Ditto if a supplier makes a generalization about a group of people with certain ... 
The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance
It is easy GK as the person making the claim invariably includes the person making the claim as the test subject or an easily identified group/person, and their system or one they put together as the test system. It is not my fault they make thems... 
The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance
Oh look, a person who doesn't understand the concept quoting another person who doesn't understand the concept. I feel so much more enlightened now .... like at least 10lbs.A blind test does nothing more than restrict the evaluation process to one... 
Do we really need anything greater than 24/96? Opinions?
Going purely based on research evidence, the evidence suggests that Redbook is not sufficient, but 24/96 is: http://www.aes.org/e-lib/browse.cfm?elib=18296The paper is not perfect (nor the studies it references) and even its justification for 24/9...

Many tests are not needed to disprove a claim, just one if the test matches the conditions in the claim and given how broad those claims often are in audio, or how specific they are, it is easy to replicate the conditions purported in the claim, r...

Pop answer ... that would depend on how many db attenuation you expected, and because there are normally multiple RCA jacks close together, you would also need to know the spacing of those jacks.What if your enclosure is solid metal and your RCA (...

Those top-6 never resulting in more than a few hours of data loss in one case. The Tencent was an anomaly.Compare that to the horror stories many have w.r.t. backup failures that they thought were "robust".  Real time mirroring of your data, secur...

Admittedly most MOSFETs designed today are designed for pulse operation and the long pulse/DC rating of those MOSFETs is less than the rated current. That is a thermal derating though due to rapid heating of the usually quite small die. You can s... 
New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies
A 240V connection is normally cleaner, i.e. less THD than a 120V connection, but you can run a 120 to 120 center tap transformer and connect the center tap to ground and technically that is balanced but running from the two lives (busbars) is a be...

+1Anyone who makes such a comment about blind tests can't be taken seriously.

Steakster,Stop being a jerk and show me where I am wrong. It’s easy to say someone is wrong ... Let see if you can back up your condescension with actual words with meaning.I clearly said that two phase is not really two phase but split phase of a... 
Preferred Digital Music File Backup?
Good cloud storage includes versioning so human error is avoided and good ones are encrypted limiting hacks. Virtually all quality cloud storage has multi site redundancy.

Agendas and ignorance governed by pride and narcissism.People become so attached to their world-view or audio-view, that it stops being a pursuit of audio nirvana and starts becoming an agenda to promote a particular viewpoint to the point of reje... 
new GAN amplifier
georgehifi,EPDR does not define "difficulty" to drive the load per-se, even though it was defined that way in consumer audio media. It is illustrative of the thermal stress that is put on the amplifier output devices instantaneously. The peak curr... 
How Science Got Sound Wrong
falconquest,I would like to think that no one is suggesting we don’t all perceive sound differently. I think that is a given. This is not even a discussion of whether 44.1/16bits is enough bandwidth/resolution. It is about whether audio sampled at...
