| Sirius XM for 80 year olds....... fool's errand? There's an app for XM to run on iPad and it works fine. You can use the HDMI digital out adapter to connect to a DAC. | |
| Which is best, using balanced or non-balanced connection? gdnrbob ... the equipment should adhere to the AES Balanced Standard. Otherwise, all bets are off ... There's more than one way to design balanced circuits, and observing the AES standard is but one of them. You'd be rejecting some of the fi... | |
| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? panzrwagn VPI absolutely belongs on this list. But made in Brooklyn somehow lacks the cachet of more exotic manufacturing locales ... Yes, I absolutely agree VPI belongs on the list. But they're made in NJ, not Brooklyn. Before that they were ... | |
| Raven Audio Soniquil Cables: Misrepresented Build & Tarnishing Connectors? noryx I purchased them directly through the manufacturer's website. You did not even remotely get what they advertised or what you paid for. I'd request a refund. | |
| Raven Audio Soniquil Cables: Misrepresented Build & Tarnishing Connectors? Were these cables purchased directly or from an authorized dealer? | |
| Has it all been worth it? It's all been totally worthwhile. It's been a thrill. Still is. | |
| More on XLR vs RCA considerations? perazzi28 ... XLR connections don't necessarily indicate that the device offers "balanced" topology that can offer some ascribed benefits ... That's true. True balanced topology imposes twice the circuitry into the signal path. That is... | |
| Comments on Fanfare FM-2G - FM Antenna tablejockey Shouldn't the tuners signal strength meter tell you where it likes the antenna? The higher the better for one thing. Oh no, not at all. The cleanest signal will probably be where there's minimum multipath - that's not necessar... | |
| Can you do anything to make power tubes last longer ? atmasphere ... make sure your line Voltage isn’t running high. 120V is normal now and the line is not supposed to exceed 125V for more than a second. But I’ve seen situations were 125V was normal If you’re talking about the US, you are mistake... | |
| Somebody Please Make This Already... Wouldn't using a preamplifier and active crossover do this? | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. chenry ... What I think bothers readers here about ASR the most is their objective methods ... There is nothing inherently objective about measurements and the ASR site is dripping with bias and disdain. I don’t take ASR seriously and I’m not ... | |
| Advicd Needed on Change from Levinson to Audio Research The SP6B and the Ref 75 are from completely different eras and you're not likely to get the best performance from either by using them together. In particular, the 6B is single-ended while the Reference 75 is balanced. The SP6 is very colored by m... | |
| More on XLR vs RCA considerations? carlsbad2 Ralph, the BAT crew, and their follwers will swear you can’t have a good system without XLR. I generally prefer balanced components for a number of reasons but I don't think your claim is true. I ran single-ended for years with e... | |
| More on XLR vs RCA considerations? mulveling ... "Doubling up" the circuitry inside pretty much always doubles the expense ... It's a misnomer that balanced circuits "double up" the circuitry. Balanced components such as the OP's Aesthetix Calypso use differential circuitry (pr... | |
| Why are DAC's so much more expensive than transports? verdantaudio ... if a unit is fully balanced it effectively doubles the circuitry as well and this adds a lot of cost ... That's a common misnomer. Many truly balanced circuits employ circuits such as differential amplifiers, of which operatio... |
