| Is an audio media transport really better than PC? $100 worth of RasPi will probably outperform that multi purpose PC. I'm not entirely convinced of this. It really depends on what kind of power supply the RasPi will use. Also, the USB/SPDIF digital output circuit on these Pink Faun / JCAT ca... | |
| Anybody have 220 volt circuit for your amp? The problem here is that US 220V is not like Europe 220V. In Europe, you have one 220V hot wire and one neutral wire. In US, you have two 110V hot wires that are in opposite polarity (think push/pull). Put them together and you have a result o... | |
| Is an audio media transport really better than PC? Like ghdprentice stated, at some level the audio streamers do become better than PCs. You have to figure out your point of diminishing returns. You can actually get a very excellent result from a PC by using a Pink Faun or JCAT PCI card coupled w... | |
| LCR meter This is typical for older equipment (and even not so old equipment). When the main power supply capacitors dry out, they will lose the ability to hold capacitance. This is where that line voltage hum comes from. This in itself is not damaging, ... | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? That being said, it is a personal preference. I never really liked silver for use in analog interconnects, but I have found it is required for digital cables (S/PDIF, AES/ABU, HDMI, etc.). | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? no, I'm saying that if you use VH Audio Copper and want to use 18awg, I would pair it with 21awg. 18awg will give you your bass. the 21awg will provide high frequencies that the 18awg will not do. If you go all silver, I think the VH Audio 18aw... | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? A note on the 18awg VH Audio COPPER airloc that people keep pushing. Yes, this wire will work fine and sound very clean, but you are STILL going to lose high frequency extension. I've done lots of testing with this VH Audio wire. The 18awg COPP... | |
| Best sounding processor I have had the 8805 in my system. It has excellent bass and midbass fullness and strength. Excellent midrange and impact. The high frequencies are softened and rolled off somewhat. I don't know that you would notice this unless you did a side-... | |
| Taking a 110v Luxman Integrated to Europe A step-down isolation transformer is actually a type of power conditioner that helps shield noise from your AC power lines. This will likely improve sound quality overall, so you can definitely do something like this. Actually, many power condit... | |

| Is Outlaw Audio going to make a new low cost surround sound processor? NOTE: on the 976. I have worked on the 976 processor doing a massive modification and recap. The RCA subwoofer outputs are no different than a Y-cable splitter because they are both driven off the same op amp. However, the XLR subwoofer outputs... | |
| Is Outlaw Audio going to make a new low cost surround sound processor? There was a 975 that just bid up and sold for $268 on ebay. Last fall, there was a 975 on usaudiomart for $200 and the guy finally had to lower his price to $150 to sell it. The pricing market is unpredictable. | |
| 3.5mm to RCA cables. Can I do better for $50 than AudioQuest Evergreen? Thanks, this is awsome! I was also looking for an alternative to AQ for a 3.5mm to RCA cable. | |
| Recommendation for Digital Coax Optical is the most accurate, efficient way to transfer data from point a to point b, undisturbed. If you are looking at optical to be used for data transfer, such as computer, then yes, optical is the cleanest way to get data from one point to... | |
| Recommendation for Digital Coax My Nordost Silver Shadow is 1M and absolutely no issues… none. I have used it on two different players to several different DAC’s and a streamer for many years. Works 100% of the time with no compromised high frequency issues. A 1 meter digita... |
