| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money @grannyring Agreed, thank god wires don’t wear out as quickly as wheels! I say this with the attendant hazard of taking this thread further down yet another rabbit hole. | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic @kingrex I don’t think anything is being “filtered.” Some speculate that the improved sound qualities perceived during even casual listening sessions is attributed to the parallel configuration having nearly twice the bandwidth of their single-run... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic All: I’m adding to my last prior post here to provide more context to the Canare Starquad story and their wiring scheme. As one can see from their wiring diagram, their 2 hot conductors are sliced together in parallel. Likewise, their 2 return co... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic @kingrex Your description of the design of the Genesis IC is indeed “different but similar.” The Canare Starquad cable design is even more similar to “Schroeder Method configuration.” The Starquad design has 2 hot, 2 returns and 1 shield. In the S... | |
| XLR out on a tuner? @n80. Did you relocate your ARC pre and CDP away from your amp and speakers? | |
| Why aren't new vacuum tubes as good as old ones? ☝🏻☝🏻 True enough. A lot of craftsmanship, old school tech, and perhaps now-banned materials are not available. | |
| Why aren't new vacuum tubes as good as old ones? BTW, RCH Labs out of Carson City, NV appears no longer in business. | |
| DAC-Preamp having these specifications? @shadorne yes, I see that. Rory of Benchmark sent a bunch of links of application notes to me. Looks like they’ve also improved the master clock and how jitter is controlled in the DAC of the DAC3 unit. | |
| Turntable setup in Chicagoland area Chris Barry is the go-to Linn setup guy. He was at Music Direct, too. No longer there. | |
| DAC-Preamp having these specifications? @shadorne thanks for the links. Looks like the DAC3 HDR-VC™ system combines an active gain circuit with a low-impedance passive attenuator, where the motorized volume pot controls the active gain circuit and the passive attenuator is located after... | |
| DAC-Preamp having these specifications? I have sent a request to benchmark about this topic. | |
| DAC-Preamp having these specifications? @audioengr So the DAC3 uses method 2, with the attenuation arising after the last active stage? I’m unclear about this. | |
| Foil damping tape as a tonearm tube wrap? @geoffkait +1, for clarity. | |
| DAC-Preamp having these specifications? The owners manual of the all digital input version, DAC3 DX, makes even more clear the digital volume control of the outputs:”The MAIN bus drives the XLR outputs and one pair of RCA outputs. The MAIN bus delivers the highest performance because it... | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? The high cost of high quality tapes is sufficient reason to abandon this technology. Chalk it up to economics. |
