| Speaker wire impedance? Speaker impedance? Your 8TC cables are 9AWG equivalent which is heavy enough for any run inside a listening room. You have nothing to worry about. Jerry | |
| Speaker wire impedance? Speaker impedance? You really need a micro-ohmeter to measure such small resistances. best bet is to calculate it. if it is too high, then you need larger wire. the manual only mentioned "resistence" which is a funcion of wire gauge and length only, so the inductive... | |
| Chord Dave Dbnc connect issue Nice. I was about to say that I've never seen it, check your bnc cables. I made a lot of BNC cables when I was a technician at Fermilab (1970s) and I know they can be fragile. Jerry | |
| Fun read... It's only a curse if it's your only avocation causting you to put your effort here when there is little or nothing that needs attention. I use my system to relax and recover after hiking, climbing, and ultradistance running. I have to share time ... | |
| Time For a CD Player Upgrade almost any moderately priced DAC will outperform the DAC in a CD player. The DAC is the heart of the digital system so there is room for much research and choice. I highly recommend a transport plus DAC. | |
| Time For a CD Player Upgrade You don't have a DAC? | |
| Passive preamp question There are different types of passive preamps. I'm building a transformer based passive pre that will pretty much work to impedance match any amp. | |
| Can you think of a reason not to? HT is recorded multichannel so using 2 channels is throwing awaysome good stuff. Keep your 2 channel system stand alone. it is the place where true high fidelity sound lives. For HT I run a preamp level signal to my 2 channel amp from my HT rec... | |
| Innuous Zenith-saving albums question I have a zenith mk3 but I seldom use sense. but I'm pretty sure sense just bookmarks the song in your collection so you can easily play it. You won't be able to play it when not connected to the internet. To download songs and save to your driv... | |
| Thoughts on Cardas RCA Caps If shorting plugs help that doesn't speak well for your amp (inter-input leakage). I use dust caps to keep unused inputs looking new. Jerry | |
| Innuous Zenith-saving albums question Sounds like you are using the Qobuz or tidal aps? Or are you using Sense? Either way, I think you are saving them in the application, stored with the service, not on your streamer. Jerry | |
| Can You Trust a Shipper? (UPS, Fed-Ex, etc) Hard to believe an ebay seller with a 99.8 rating would double rip you off. I'd like to hear the other side of the story. I've also, as a seller and a buyer, worked with paypal many times and they never told me "too bad, you lose". Jerry | |
| How to set up volume control on a DAC without a preamp @audiotroy It seems your data on Roon is incorrect. It works with any endpoint device. | |
| How to set up volume control on a DAC without a preamp Roon volume control is quite good, better than many preamps. I have a lampizator DAC with volume control which I use for my pre. Roon VC is better than the relay operated resistive ladder in the Lampi. If I were using roon, I wouldn't buy a DAC... | |
