| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? Crystal orientation in OFC and in Ohno Continuous Casting manufacturing predicts that there is directionality in metals that may influence the sound quality.I don't dispute that but such does not suggest directionality.Every cables have directio... | |
| Class D Technology Whatever Ralph meant the mid-fi comment did make me laugh knowing that the sound I hear from practical Class D amps today (like the ones I own which are neither the least or most expensive) is not mid-fi by any reasonable listening standard. @m... | |
| Class D Technology Yes, I have read this thread in its entirety. You could not have made it anymore clear. Go back to the beginning of this thread and read your own post. Not a false statement.Obviously I could have been more clear or this conversation would not be ... | |
| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? @jea48 so-- if the electrons flow easier one way then the other (a reasonable interpretation of the first paragraph), what happens? Do they not all make it back on the return cycle?Obviously the answer is ’No.’, as an excess of electrons would occ... | |
| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? The lattice structure of solidus wire, ie, electron orbital locked frozen crystalline wire, it can and mostly will be directional, depending on the method of creation.How do you square this with the cable carrying an AC signal? | |
| Class D Technology Yet you, Mr. Designer, dismiss Class D as nothing more than midfi.......Apparently you've not read this thread or you would not have said that; IOW this statement is false. Lower cost for manufactures, which seems to result in higher margins inst... | |
| Class D Technology 1. They are extremely quiet, having THE HIGHEST S/N Ratio and THE WIDEST DYNAMIC RANGE of any amp type, with almost no audible background noise and highly detailed. I can turn my volume control to maximum without any source playing, put my ear... | |
| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? ^^^THIS. | |
| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? The comments regarding the shield being connected at one end only are correct. Obviously since the audio signal is an Alternating Current signal, the actual wire is not a variable. | |
| XLR to RCA interconnect. Does mixed connectors provide less noise compared RCA to RCA? In case its not obvious, the crux of this is that single-ended and balanced connections are inherently incompatible. That’s why Jensen transformers can be an excellent solution as transformers can convert from one to the other with ease.I figure b... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? I am still waiting to hear from you or anyone else a corollary in audio. Furthermore, even if you could lock into a given finding, would blinded audio nerds or lay people know the difference? I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before in this thread, if... | |

| Class D Technology Just my opinion, but all you guys out there claiming audible switching noise are a little misguided.Speak for yourself Kimosabe.You probably missed the part where I mentioned we have a class D amp in the works, right? | |
| Class D Technology ^^ Or not. You can't put them all in one basket. That's why this thread is as long as it is.Class D amps vary in sound due to the fact that some have higher scan frequencies than others, some have more 'dead time' than others, some have more disto... | |
| Hi-Fi Tunig Fuses & Parasound A21 I don’t have an electrical engineering degree that might help inform me as to why things in this quizzical hobby happen as they do but they do occur. There is plenty of anecdotal evidence of such all over this site. Perhaps the mystery is part ... |
