| How Electricity Actually Works I am just an engineer. I worked chemical, electrical, and mechanical engineering. Part of my career I designed Mobile Electric Power equipment, I designed generators. Not just any generator, but one that was hard to detect. The technology is refer... | |
| This cable game is making my head spin First, I am an engineer, I make cabling for myself and I sell them. Mixing and matching cabling to produce a particular sound or solve a problem is a problem in itself. Use one brand, you will be more likely to end up with a good sound. Why use a... | |
| Contact Enhancer Q45T There are other products on the market. There is even a MIL-SPEC product. | |
| High quality CDs Sounds more like you are dropping bits from the data stream. Good digital cables and a good source are a must. I find this to be a problem all to often. | |
| CD transports; do they really matter I distribute CEC. Jitter is going to be the lowest with a belt drive transport. The noise level will be lower with a belt drive because the motor is farther away from the noise sensitive laser head. Suspension system of the transport, you usually... | |
| Power Cable Suggestions Needed If you are into DIY then I would suggest checking out the Furutech video of power cable assembly on the Audio Union website. I operate Audio Union. | |
| Oh Ye of Little Format I am an engineer, manufacturer and a importer. The attempts to compare formats analogue to digital in whatever forms they may take is difficult at best. You need to consider how the music was recorded, the engineer who did the work, the equipment,... | |
| XLR question for bass There have been some comments here which really don't follow the science. I am an engineer, I follow the science. I design and manufacture cables for audio equipment. Audio Quest cables I have tested usually are well balanced in terms of performa... | |
| C.E.C Da0 3.0 dac. There is a new DA0 3.0 on the way. I have listened to several DA0 3.0s is several systems. The dac main focus is on CDs, but streaming to this dac is a very pleasant experience. My last experience lasted 3 months, I am eager to hear the new versio... | |
| Transmission line speakers! I started designing Transmission line speakers in the mid '70's. They can be real good for the money. These days I use a ported cabinet design because you can get a better final performance curve. | |

| Advice needed on power cables, wall warts, conditioning, electrical outlet @millercarbon has the right idea. Setup a budget first. Power is the foundation of your system. Start with the wall outlet at the beginning of the list. I would include either changing the power cord on the power conditioner or replace it. Furutec... | |
| How important Is shielding with RCA wires? (Ethan Winer, new video) @hilde45 I checked the book you mentioned, interesting summary. It turns out, finding real science these days is more difficult than ever. It is basically a can of worms and the cards are stacked against you. If I remember correctly it was Fahren... | |
| Heat in class A equipment IR imaging and other direct temperature measuring techniques are used to detect hot spots in equipment and power distribution systems. Opening the equipment to see whatever it is you are looking for is wasting your time unless you know what you ar... | |
| How important Is shielding with RCA wires? (Ethan Winer, new video) There are 4 kinds of science at least: anti-science, Democrat science, Republican science, and Real Science. I am an engineer and I know from experience I can use Real Science to design products the others are useless in product design. However, t... |
