| Amp ac cable connection benjiThrough psinyc own listing session he is supporting what I am saying. Power conditioners restrict the full potential of your equipmentI'm not sure what you mean by "full potential." I can tell you - with measurements to support it - that f... | |
| Amp ac cable connection benjie... With the power cable plugged directly into the wall you are hearing your equipments full potential ...That wouldn’t be true if the voltage is too high, or too low, for the amplifier to work properly. What about power factor? If the AC s... | |
| Amp ac cable connection dlcockrum... I am talking about the products that serve as intermediaries between the wall receptacle and the equipments’ power cords that claim to provide surge protection via sacrificial MOVs (90%+ of them I estimate) ...MOV devices get a b... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? cdrc I told my son that Star Sound Technology platforms are just great big peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and he gets it. Huh? Who would want to put a gooey, sticky PBJ mess under their audio components? That doesn't make any sense at all. | |
| Amp ac cable connection dlcockrum The place for a surge protector is on your TV cable line (only, unless you like choking the current flow to your audio system).Sorry, but this is mistaken. The notion that all surge protectors are "choking the current flow to your au... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? geoffkaitManufacturers actually shouldn't be the ones making measurements for vibration control/vibration isolation, it should be some third party independent agency. Why? Aren't you making measurements as part of your design and manufacturing... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? erik_squiresAs I've said before, testing and measuring the benefits of vibration control in home audio should be easy, and inexpensive. I've yet to see the loop closed. Agreed! Mind you, I'm rather certain that I've heard the benefits of vibr... | |
| Any News on MQA Lately? erik_squiresOne thing that I should point out to anyone comparing MQA, is that to do it right re-mastering is required. Meaning you have to work your way back to the original multi-track digital files before you can produce a 2 channel MQA p... | |

| Input ground loop hum only when p10 cables or XLR without phantom power are connected erik_squiresStereophile does all their USB DAC testing with a laptop running from battery power. I think it’s a boneheaded way to test DAC’sWill you please explain why you think that’s "boneheaded?" | |
| Input ground loop hum only when p10 cables or XLR without phantom power are connected erik_squiresA ground loop can't be fixed by noise filters or switching cables, or better shielding. You have to break the metallic contact in the loopThat's not exactly correct. What's needed is to get all of the grounds at the same potential. ... | |
| Thiel Owners unsound1... Nelson Pass worked at Phase Linear before co-starting Threshold ...Are you sure? What products did Pass design for Phase Linear? I always thought Phase Linear was Bob Carver's effort, until he sold the company to Pioneer. | |

| Vintage MONO Cartridge Question ? I'll never understand why people buy used phono cartridges. <shudder> Yes, you can have them rebuilt, but that's a dicey proposition and you can never be sure what you'll have when the service is complete. If ever there was an audio componen... | |
