| Smart power supplies for turntable Their battery supply lists the output as 12V, but it also says NiMh 12V, 5000mAH. As a guess only, it is a 10x series NiMh, 12V nominal, but to as high as 13.2, goes down to 10. This then supplies the turntable that has the DC motor controller wi... | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired That is interesting about the volume drop. Some DACs will insert a processing drop in the volume 3-6db. This is to prevent what are called inter-sample overs. It comes from flawed creation of the digital material. Even though no sample value is be... | |
| Choke power supply- part 2 And Pass amps use choke filters in their supplies too, but the question was why they are not more common, not whether they "can" work. I don’t need Mike Moffat and Jason Stoddard’s blessing for my comment and I expect across a table with engineers... | |
| Shipping Floor Standing Speakers to the US from Canada Here are the fees you as the shipper cannot avoid: - Shipping charges All the rest are technically the buyer, unless you are sending DDP, deliver duty paid. The only fee that your buyer cannot avoid is taxes. Depending on state they are goin... | |
| Does anybody make... @millercarbon I think has the most practical solution to what you described assuming your pre-amp I assume has low enough output impedance to run essentially 4 passive volume controls. You could use a trim-pot to get the balance right, then some g... | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired @dbb Appreciate all the hard word. As others have noted, way more effort, detail, and process then what we see in professional reviews. I am slightly worried about the use of two sources, and Windows sources. My first concern is noise from the ... | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired When something measures "well" and sounds bad, it doesn’t "really" measure well, it’s just that the wrong thing is being measured. The audio literature is full of measurements that do not translate into sound quality. It’s been going on for gener... | |
| Smart power supplies for turntable Whether it works better with battery all comes down to implementation. The CA with active feedback is going to be more immune to supply variance. Electric bicycles are typically 24-48V not 12. The nominal 12V lithium vehicle batteries are as... | |
| Good or Best Surge Protector +1 to Erik wrt whole home protector plus a Furman or equivalent. Watch out for brutally overpriced toys called power conditioners but are just parts in a box. | |
| Headphones to keep you honest Headphones are rarely ever flat. Not even close. | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference It comes from experience. I have never experienced anything in audio that could be 1) Verified , and 2) Not measured. Usually #1 eliminates almost everything, and when it does not, #2 takes care of the rest. Every single time where I have heard, ... | |
| Smart power supplies for turntable How about just go with Cin. That would be more accurate. | |
| When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you? @nitrobob , started to type a response, but too many threads are going off the rail with politics. I suggest starting a new thread. I will just say that I support local when possible, but I will not reward incompetence long term. At some point "su... | |
| Passive vs Active...Again! Sorry @high-amp I got carried away. I thought they were up for active discussion. Room treatment purchased is expensive. Room treatment made is inexpensive and can be exactly the aesthetic your wish. Sonos has many happy customers :-) By the st... | |
| The Big Misconception About Electricity Hey whippy, still waiting for your analysis beyond talking points. Mahgister, I easily poked holes in many of your (and other) claims. It was not hard. When you simply post statement lacking nuance or history into what happened before or who was ... |
