Testing Ethernet switch
  tvrgeek I have also repeatedly challenged the "believers" to provide any evidence of how a working to spec layer one can effect the audio ... Nope, Only get attacks. I haven’t seen any attacks on you here but if you believe you’ve been atta... 
Testing Ethernet switch
tvrgeek Not everyone knows how IP works so it is not hard for the fraudsters to take advantage of them. A big disservice to the community in search of better sound. I try to suggest facts. An allegation of fraud is serious business. Of co... 
Seller Unresponsive after payment.
Assuming this guy isn't a friend of yours: Business is business. You owe him nothing. If he's been unresponsive, there's nothing to be gained by delay. File a dispute with Paypal and yes, contact A'gon support. Business is business. It's time to ... 
WHY CABLES MATTER!
tvrgeek Your BRAIN has re-mapped to convince you it is better. Our brain lies. Always. I am beginning to think there is indeed one remapped brain here. And it lies. Always.  
WHY CABLES MATTER!
tvrgeek ... everyone is under the placebo effect. All the time, for all subjects ... Nonsense. If your claim were true, placebo pills would cure cancer. They don't.  
WHY CABLES MATTER!
tvrgeek ... Hearing is what your brain tells you and it lies like a dog ... The notion that everyone is under the influence of expectation bias and placebo effect and that subjective listening reports are essentially the result of delusion, is... 
Balanced XLR vs RCA for phono stage
macg19 GoldNote said they are AES compliant  That is very interesting, and doesn't seem to be consistent with the specs you quoted: Unbalanced RCA @ 2V and balanced XLR @ 4V I'm not familiar with this component so I can only say that I'm p... 
Balanced XLR vs RCA for phono stage
I think it remains debatable that using a balanced circuit consistent with AES48 is the "absolute best right way to do it." That's why there are so many excellent components (such as the ARC that I mentioned) that use operational amp circuits to g... 
Balanced XLR vs RCA for phono stage
atmasphere In a true balanced line situation, the inverted output is generated with respect to the non-inverted output and vice versa, rather than ground. With all due respect to Ralph, I am going to quibble with this definition. There's more ... 
Balanced XLR vs RCA for phono stage
  jeffrey125 If the PH-10 is truly balanced AES48, not doubting it as Gold Note is a quality designer ... Looking at the specs, it appears to be truly balanced, but not AES48 compliant. That's not especially uncommon.  
Balanced XLR vs RCA for phono stage
elliottbnewcombjr ... Short runs in home audio systems (no mics, mixers, eq ...), where no problem exists, make no logical sense ... Many components that are differentially balanced yield 6 dB more gain in balanced configuration; or, you c... 
WHY CABLES MATTER!
tvrgeek Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. There is no such requirement because nobody here owes you anything at all. You can continue to characterize empirical evidence as "extraordinary claims," but - as you may have notic... 
Technics 1200 MK3D
toddnlg Is there a way to connect two turntables to a single phono stage? Sure - there are many phono preamps that offer multiple phono inputs, e.g. ARC. I think that typically they’re intended for use with a two-arm turntable, but there’s no ... 
WHY CABLES MATTER!
drbarney1 ... when a set of speaker cables cost $27,000 and the manufacturer misapplies physics in the marketing of the design, no credibility remains. To which manufacturer do you refer? What model cables are you referencing, what misappl... 
Time To Upgrade My Digital Front End
mahler123 ... I would avoid the Bryston BDP2 or 3 ... I think the BDP-3 is a great player, and I like mine much more than the Aurender it replaced. It sounds great and is rock stable. Those who don't care for the interface can use Rigelian
