| Head-Fi can be so hardcore We have the same thing here. We also have the "nothing matters" crowd and the "all that matters is how much I paid for it" crowd. But many of carefully craft the signal path with extreme detail. I now make my own speaker binding posts to my own... | |

| Why Do Cables Matter? Here is why cables matter. Power to a lamp is just enough current to make a filament glow. It doesn't matter what the waveform looks like, whether there is noise on the circuit, or if there are losses/disruptions along the way. If the power get... | |

Very volume control is a resistive device. the good ones are a resistive ladder. the poor ones are a sliding resistor. It is best to get the sliding resistor out of the circuit. I have a great preamp so I use it for volume control and turn the ... | |
| USB Reclocker @singhm1 I did buy the Farad for the M scaler as well. I have to admit I was doing wholesale upgrades to many components and didn't go a good job of keeping track which one was most useful. I do have a story to tell on the m-scaler. for a while... | |
