| how is digital sound created? millercarbon ... Really good expensive DACs have a lot more quality parts and do a lot more processing trying to smooth the signal out by interpolating values in between the stair steps ...That is completely mistaken but a common misnomer. The ... | |
| Build-up on stylus - any new cures? mixermarkwilliams This deposit on my cantilever could have come from a particular disc that I hope to identify at some point.Most likely it was accumulation over time from multiple records. What are you using to clean your LPs? | |

| Build-up on stylus - any new cures? mixermarkwilliams ... For the various people that assumed that I don’t clean my records, I actually never play one I haven’t cleaned unless I cut the shrink wrap right beforehand. And sometimes I clean even new records first. The cantilever tip ar... | |
| Audiophile Fuses - Are We Certain They Provide Protection? three_easy_payments ... This led me to doing some online research on fuses ...Why not do real "research" and go right to the source: the manufacturer of the fuses that interest you. Anonymously posing questions in a public forum seeking anonymous ... | |
| Audiophile Fuses - Are We Certain They Provide Protection? three_easy_payments The whole intention of my OP was to inquire into what assurances the manufacturers of high-end, audio fuses are providing consumers that their fuses indeed meet spec to provide protection ...You’re being more than a little cag... | |
| Audiophile Fuses - Are We Certain They Provide Protection? three_easy_payments Is it reasonable to expect consumers of fuses to spend hundred of dollars on an accurate power supply in order to test and trust the fuses ...Don't be silly. I don't think anyone has that expectation. But audiophiles buy all... | |

| Herron VTPH-2A vs Rogers PA-2 Phono Preamplifier lewm ... if you’re using an LOMC cartridge, you’re basically listening to an FET. If I understand the Herron phono correctly.Not really. It's not unusual for a tube phono section to use an FET at the MC input. ARC does this in its Ref Phono pre... | |
| older CD transport vs newer ones. audio-union... CEC transports use belt drive systems to reduce error rate, also know as jitter ...Error rate and jitter are two different things. Errors result from inability to read data. That is actually rare - because the data is interleaved a... | |
| Sound-Smith retipping chakster... when it comes to cartridges he is the one ...No, @chakster he is not "the one." There is a staff there that works on cartridges. I’ve been to Soundsmith - it’s a very impressive place. | |
| Sound-Smith retipping chakster... who is David Moskowitz ? Peter Ledermann did not touch this cartridge.Soundsmith is not a one-person shop. Not even close. | |

| 8-Tracks and Open-Reels: Who’s Got ‘Em and Whatcha Got? I usually try to avoid absolutes but I think the 8-track may be hands-down the worst consumer audio format ever - perhaps even worse than 78 rpm shellacs. I never messed with it. A properly made cassette could walk all over any 8-track.And yet, th... | |
| DAC general question ibmjunkman As I understand it the actual DA function is done by a single chip ... Am I wrong?Yes. It's quite common for DACs use multiple chips, such as in balanced configurations. And as @verdantaudio noted, some use FPGA chips, which are esse... |
