New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies
Would that be real photons or virtual photons?Every time a post is made in this thread, a tiny little physicist, somewhere in the world, dies.

As opposed to a restaurant reviewer who with two plates on the table, tastes one, then denotes the other one to be the best they have ever tasted if they only add a bit more salt to it.

George,If you object to a post, just report the post. I don’t understand this need to censor people for their views, whether they are wrong or not. People are adults here. I think they all understand electricity can be dangerous.georgehifi6,325 po...

No, it is like saying that someone who saw something in a scene a year ago, then saw the same scene today and claimed they noticed some minor change, has less credibility than someone who is comparing two pictures. Sort of like how people with "ph... 
How Science Got Sound Wrong
the human hearing system was designed, from the ground up, over millennia, in the realm of natural selection, to hear through and past noise and wow & flutter. It was designed to do these complex things via it’s temporally sensitive and aligne...

Where those powers of cognition vary between individuals, to the tune of 300,000:1 in cognition speed, when we go from 100 to 200 IQ. Where.. what it takes a person with 100IQ a year to cognate, a person with 200 IQ can cognate in 3 minutes. This ... 
Does the 'Buck' Start with the DAC?
Based on some of the responses here, it looks like you can fully isolate your DAC, whether Ethernet, USB, or otherwise for < $1,000. Given that, I am having a hard time understanding justification for a high end streamer?

This is a data sheet from a typical Ethernet pulse transformer for 10/100/1000-Thttps://product.tdk.com/info/en/catalog/datasheets/090007/trans_alt_en.pdf?ref_disty=digikeyWhile common mode rejection can be 30-40db, the insertion loss, i.e. losses... 
Romex to your amp?
The "light show" is the huge current draw charging up the capacitor bank of the power amps, which is not necessarily indicative of a significant continuous power draw. Those peak currents can easily be 50+ amps.Are you running a common neutral for...

There is not "evidence" that:- Digital is "missing" information w.r.t. analog/vinyl at least information that can in any way be detected or influence our listening- It is actually a very small group of people who claim "digital sounds horrible". M... 
Romex to your amp?
The 40-50 feet of Romex in your house can cause voltage modulation of the AC under high loading from an amplifier, even more than the wire from the transformer to your house.It really does not matter if the sine-wave is perfect 60Hz or not, the cu... 
Romex to your amp?
Ground connection between equipment can be critical. That is not covered by in wall Romex. 
How Science Got Sound Wrong
At the University of Toronto, many of the Engineering disciplines like Electrical and Computer, Biomedical, Aerospace, and Engineering Physics were split out from some of the more "traditional" engineering disciplines into a sub-Department called ... 
Do we really need anything greater than 24/96? Opinions?
They are listening to vinyl on cheap systems. It is purely a nostalgia thing. They actually do care about sound, but they are driven by convenience. They are every bit as interested in music as older people are, they just have different tastes tha...

Teo,You knowledge of modern engineering especially research w.r.t engineering is rather "limited". Using Queen’s as an example of the rest of the world is rather "limited". Many universities specifically have Engineering Physics disciplines in fac...
