| Looking for a basic streamer without a DAC, preamp, storage and all that Can you point to one very good resource for this? Do any of the software options support high quality synchronization between multiple units? I have some rare free time for a pet project I want to tackle. mlsstl852 posts11-17-2020 9:01pmWhy d... | |
| The cost of LP's and CD's - an observation They may have "started" in the 70's but they made their mark and the bulk of their music in the 80's. The Police and U2 are very much "epic". Prince? Doesn't get much more epic than that. Iron Maiden? Many consider Depeche Mode even today a lot ... | |
| Amazon Music - how does it compare??? On my Mac if I choose Exclusive Mode on Amazon Music, the device mode is switching to match the track. This would appear to make the link incorrect at least for OSX. | |
| *WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters Probably even some of it is true. Whatever true means. As if we know even that much. It will never cease to amaze me the mental gymnastics an audiophile will perform to avoid admitting that perhaps they are wrong or don’t know how something works ... | |
| Whats your favourite track to play to the non hi-fi visitor? Niereka - Dead Can DanceRay of Light - Live Version - MadonnaRide of the Valkyries - London PhilharmonicBut really if they want to hear it, I will ask them and pull it up on streaming. For the average non audio person they are much more impressed... | |
| When turning off car Could be any number of issues:- Induced voltage between the head unit and external amplifiers if you have any on the likely RCA connection when it is turned off- Poor head unit design that does not turn off in an orderly fashion- Relay issue that ... | |
| *WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters No comment @1971gto455HO. I am sure the author meant well and believes what they wrote is accurate. It is not. It is seriously flawed. It would be best to just withdraw it, no burning needed. | |
| *WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters This will not work well for a cable and can have huge errors. An LCR meter cannot isolate the L and C when taking a measurement on a cable and hence the measurements for L and C end up wrong. With a good LCR meter (the DM4070 is not), you can adj... | |
| *WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters This white paper is embarrassing in the level of errors, and erroneous conclusions.The increasing rise in response above 400Hz is due to multiple reflections caused by the mismatchbetween the cable characteristic impedance, Zoand the impedance of ... | |
| How it works! From a common man. Personally, if I was making a post screaming "AC" as a reason to disprove fuse directionality, which screams to me you don't understand how circuits work, I probably would take a more cautious tone with the rest of my post. But that's just me. | |
| How it works! From a common man. One thing to keep in mind though, if the dust is very sharp and penetrates the metal surface, that could be akin to metal spikes on snow tires, i.e would prevent any further movement except in the direction of trying to penetrate the metal which m... | |
| Basic technical question about digital source signals In what context, with or without the reconstruction filter. Given there are implementations without one, you can't assume it will be there. | |
| How it works! From a common man. It's an interesting theory, but in absence of spring loading, what is causing the seating, and the graphite sheets, only conducts well along their length, not through the sheets (as in this application) which would be many layers thick as the diam... | |
| Basic technical question about digital source signals I don't think that is relevant to the discussion or that anyone was questioning what digital can or cannot do, though there was a side discussion on NOS DACs. | |
| How it works! From a common man. Its at least 50% graphene. Which is how many more times conductive than say, ANYthing else?The answer, for practical purposes, is some number much less than 1, at least how you are using it.Graphene is a 2D material. When made into sheets, it cond... |
