| Living with unsolvable hum - Any audio detectives out there? stuogawa22 posts01-03-2021 3:39pmNo arguments with the specs and not operating at low frequencies (60 to 120 specifically); but at the same time THESE reduced man made noise in my stereo amp music environment. YMMV regardless of the Fair rite ... | |
| Substantial Upgrade elliottbnewcombjr, what an awesome post! | |
| Class D Yes, please read about EPDR, then you can tell George he does not understand it just like every other person who understands amplifiers has told him.Equivalent Peak Dissipation Resistance - i.e. EQUIVALENT resistance to equal peak thermal dissipat... | |
| Living with unsolvable hum - Any audio detectives out there? Stuogawa,By "Mix 31" they mean Fair-rite 31 ferrite material. It really does not work that great at low frequencies. Here is the material data sheet: https://www.fair-rite.com/31-material-data-sheet/Here is an example ferrite with it: https://www.... | |
| What does Roon give me beyond just Tidal HiFi? If you are using a single streaming service, with a single end-point, and are not interested in the DSP capabilities, then I would say none. I have several end points, use a few different services, and play around with a bunch of different compon... | |
| Rega Planar 3 : Heavily upgraded yet produces a sound that I don't like @triskadecaphobic, ran out of time to modify last post. You can obviously just wire something with an RCA female and male two if you are good with a soldering iron. We are only talking an additional resistor and capacitor between the two contact... | |
| Rega Planar 3 : Heavily upgraded yet produces a sound that I don't like Unfortunately @triskadecaphobic, it is likely not your cartridge that needs to go, it is your Linn phonostage that needs to go. It has a non adjustable 150 ohm loading in parallel with a fairly useless 4.7nF capacitor (which does almost nothing ex... | |
| A deeper more holographic soundstage. @roxy1927,Do you think you are looking for a "realistic" depth of sound-stage or an enhanced one to suit your personal preference? | |
| The survival of the fittest. Interesting thread. The real "proliferation" of BOSE came with their sub + satellites systems. If you think of it, it was actually audiophiles that were at least somewhat responsible for their success which started in the late 80's but really gre... | |
| Can Static Destroy Electronics? Your phono pre-amp is solid state correct? If it has a FET or JFET input (discrete or op-amp) it is possible, though unlikely that static blew out the input of the phone-pre (it would not blow out the output, but the input). It will depend on what... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? As a country, you are correct @unsound , but "Han Chinese" which is a distinct ethnicity (race), is both the dominant ethnicity in China, 91%, and also the people most associated with "Chinese". | |
| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" ... and need I remind you hvymec that you made the effort to contact me wrt mahgister .. and not to share kind words about him. Seems you are talking out both sides of your mouth. Sorry but he lectures just like you do, while scolding others. At l... | |
| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" Almarg didn't work in the music industry hvymec so perhaps he didn't have the emotional attachment and aversion to all the thick stuff that is spread in audio land that does little to help audiophiles and in many cases sets them back. He obviously... | |
| Living with unsolvable hum - Any audio detectives out there? The issue is the ferrite toroidals are not very effective at 60hz. More likely they take out the effects of 120Hz events, like dimmer turn on but do little about 60Hz fundamentals. Hence a small isolation transformer on the preamp as a better test... | |
| A deeper more holographic soundstage. I have not made that little since the early 90s.Heed the expert from Atlanta who wrote the book on improving sound. ($500/day per session My mechanic charges way more than that.On symmetry: Also a no. Reducing early reflections is everything.The m... |
