| Machina Dynamica New Dark Matter CD and Blu Ray tray treatment? I think it’s called deductive reasoning. Something terribly lacking in most every day discussions. | |
| Machina Dynamica New Dark Matter CD and Blu Ray tray treatment? Well, given my limited background about how CD players work (as I am sure Geoff can attest given my questions to him via PM), I’ll take a stab at this answer. The laser has a different wavelength range than the photodetector, wherein the photodete... | |
| Who makes this Pre-amp? 04-04-2019 10:59am, I wrote: “Doug Sachs preamps include PCB’s..” I meant to write: “DON Sachs preamps include PCB’s..” (emphasis added) I hate getting names wrong, so I apologize to Don for having done so here. | |
| Product purchasing decisions based on manufacturer’s proximity I have never based a product purchasing decision on manufacturer proximity. I’ve had audio products from Germany, UK, HK, China, as well as the USA. This came up in another thread for an OP thinking about that possibility. So I thought it worthy o... | |
| Paralleled HDMI Cables Connection Improves Video Quality I don’t. So the impact could be much greater. I searched the Forum threads for recommendations about HDMI cables. Landed on this one: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/one-of-the-best-hdmi-cable?page=2Many posts by my old buddy, Geoff, who re... | |
| Who makes this Pre-amp? OP: you might consider this one, too, from Supratek Audio: New Generation 3 Chardonnay Line stage. 6SN7 preamp tubes, 5AR4 tube rectifier, 6L6G/5881 tube shunt regulators. XLR in/out. 4 RCA in/3 RCA out , remote volume. It appears to check off a... | |
| Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go? @jetter: Your memory serves you well. I read that here in one of the Supratek threads. | |
| Audiogon has no 'likes' FB likes are often reduced to nothing more than “Yeah, I read your post.” | |
| Who makes this Pre-amp? Doug Sachs preamps include PCB’s, so it is not strictly a point-to-point wiring job. Also a quote from his custom line stage landing page regarding his finest preamp: “I cannot do XLR outputs, so please don’t ask. Also, I no longer wish to build ... | |
| Paralleled HDMI Cables Connection Improves Video Quality Maybe it’s only improving video resolution. Perhaps the mind tends to focus on the color contrast being presented once the overall video signal resolution is improved. | |
| Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go? Product purchasing decisions based on manufacturer proximity and convenient shipping. That warrants a new thread.OP: have you listened to either preamp? | |
| Machina Dynamica New Dark Matter CD and Blu Ray tray treatment? I’m glad falconquest opined about Dark Matter, as opposed to Geoff’s product, New Dark Matter. | |
| Machina Dynamica New Dark Matter CD and Blu Ray tray treatment? Hmmm...I need new friends, if not old buddies. | |
| amp clipping earlier than usual? Sounds like a trip to an electronics shop is in the future for both amps, if not for anything more than an inspection and tuneup. | |
| Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go? I was an audio consultant at a HEA shop in a suburb outside DSM during high school in the mid-70’s (Ecologic Ear in Windsor Heights). The shop offered all sorts of gear, ranging from value-oriented to high end audio. I always directed customers to... |
