| 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 | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! tvrgeek I prefer to use science to get there, not advertising. Others seem to be big fans of Kool-Aid and have the disposable income to indulge chasing their imagination. This is the logical fallacy of the excluded middle. It's interesti... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! asctim We’d love to see just some decent explanation of what’s going on. I’d be happy with some simple measurements. Who exactly is the "we" you apparently pretend to represent? If some simple measurements would please you, feel free to make ... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! coralkong Why is it that cable deniers always want some kind of measurement or "blind testing" result that PROVES what I hear vs what they hear? ... What’s the point? They're not interested in conversation - they seek to disrupt it. | |
| Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts? carlsbad2 I almost always buy equipment without auditioning. It is difficult and expensive to audition. My experience is the opposite. Auditioning is relatively easy. What's expensive is not listening before purchase. | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! mrskeptic I have spent a large part of my life (sadly) participating in organized religion with people who have the same mentality as people who say cables matter. Lots of faith, no actual proof. Get back to us when there is some actual blin... | |
| Jay's "Ugly Truth" video This guy is a clown, based on what he's said here. His videos aren’t worth my time. That's true of almost all of the Youtubers, though. | |

| A weighty conundrum arizonabob ... I do think I have one of these as well ... I wouldn't be surprised! We oldtimers have all sorts of old audio accessories, cables, and tools stashed away "just in case" we might ever need them. |
