wuwulf Nyquest theorem does not touch the problems of using a computer storage format as a musical transport format where time is important.Not so. The Nyquist theorem is all about frequency, which by definition is all about time.Additional ...

HDMI Splitter...Sending Audio-Only to Processor
Something like this should work for you. 
Balanced vs. Unbalanced Inputs
brskie ... Since the AR Phono 3SE is a fully differential phono stage, and, since it ONLY has RCA inputs and a ground post then:      On each of the RCA inputs, do the center pins and the shields carry the hot (+) and cold (-) signals respecti... 
Balanced vs. Unbalanced Inputs
rmdmooreTechnically a phono cartridge is "floating" which means it’s neither balanced or single ended. It can be wired either way ...I am surprised that there remains so much confusion on this. A phono cartridge is inherently balanced. That it ca... 
Balanced vs. Unbalanced Inputs
lowrider57 ... the Pass phonostage and it is designed for an unbalanced connection from the turntable ...No, this is mistaken. You’re confused - its use of RCA connectors doesn’t mean the inputs are unbalanced.Your LP12 is single-ended. Again, you... 
Is cartridge Demagnetizing Necessary?
lewmEveryone should read the Sumiko Fluxbuster manual, because after all they have no agenda in the debate. Sumiko understands its product. While you may prefer to not demagnetize your cartridge, it is simply false to claim that it is dangerous... 
Is cartridge Demagnetizing Necessary?
lewmJust don’t demagnetize a moving magnet cartridge, or you will have no magnet and no cartridge.This is completely mistaken. MM cartridges can be safely demagnetized - see the instruction manual for details. The Sumiko Fluxbuster manual specif... 
Point of higher priced streamer?
jksec... it’s unclear to me how data loss would affect SG ... could be something else which affects the SG ... So any error generated before dac could surface in a different way in SGWhat is "SG?" How would you know that it's been affected?

Onzo Zero Dust... Deflated?
mijostyn... It will leave a residue on your stylus which you will transfer to your records the everything will stick to everything ...I've not heard that complaint about Zero Dust. Are you simply speculating, or do you you have actual experien... 
Best way to handle this ground loop
sjeesjie... the splitsecond there’s current leaking to ground, a fuse will be blown.Perhaps. But you do not want your body to be part of that electrical path.FYI: It's called a "safety ground" for a reason.  
Best way to handle this ground loop
sjeesjie I don’t understand how you can get electrocuted if there is one straight point to ground ...Simple. If there is current flowing through the ground and you become part of that circuit you can be electrocuted. The current doesn't know or c...
