| Digital input amp tvrgeek ... Gad how some here want to be so superior ... I think users here are just trying to be accurate. You choose to take it personally that your claim has been questioned: They take a USB or other input. No DAC on the front end. Just t... | |
| A weighty conundrum You might want to settle the matter for once an for all by using a balance-type gauge, even if it's not the last word in resolution. They're quite inexpensive. | |
| Digital input amp tvrgeek ... READ about how the product works ... As you noted earlier: The copy writers may not have a clue. | |
| Value of a premium Ethernet cable tvrgeek Extraordinary claims need extraordinary proof ... This is why correctly designed cables have a bypass cap connecting the shield to complete the circuit for RF but not for hum. We learn these things in first semester electronics. My rep... | |
| Digital input amp atmasphere I know a lot of companies say they have a 'digital amp' but if they also say its class D then the DAC is always at the input to the class D circuitry. That's what I always thought. Thanks for confirming, Ralph. | |
| Value of a premium Ethernet cable tvrgeek A shield connected on one end without a bypass cap is called an "antenna." It's very commonly used in interconnect cables. In fact, with my active crossover and servo woofers, such cables are the only way I can avoid hum. And yes, the ... | |
| Value of a premium Ethernet cable tvrgeek The ONLY cables that are in fact directional are either balanced cables with a isolated shield/cap bypass which can be used as a band aid for ground loop problems, or pure snake oil. You are mistaken. Many single-ended interconnects... | |

| The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded. dweller Twist and Shout - The Beatles I think the Beatles learned that tune from the Isley Brothers. | |
| The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded. I'm not sure there's a GOAT pop song, but Paul McCartney's "Yesterday" certainly deserves to be near the top of the list. The Beatles original still retains its power, and it's been recorded by thousands of artists over the years. | |
| Multiple DVD Players To be clear, when I said I had a "fantastic local library system," I meant a public library, where discs can be borrowed for free. That's a great resource for me and good reason to keep a disc player in my system. | |
| Does the Audio press ever excite you anymore? I think Stereophile does a good job. In addition to the reviews, it also has other useful features, including industry news and articles about music and recordings. | |
| Multiple DVD Players Like @toddsyr and a few others here I also still play DVDs, and CDs, too. I have a fantastic local library system that has an extensive DVD collection, including content that isn't available on streaming. A combo CD/DVD player doesn't have to take... | |
| The Ultimate Audio Modification: Golden Ears psalvet We mostly assume reviewers have golden ears because they are in the business. I certainly make no such assumption, and do not believe in the concept of "golden ears." While some people have better hearing than others, most of us share ... | |
| WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD? kota1 So I have been posting about the new atmos music format and of course members who have never heard the format in their own room are quick to comment. In four months, you've made more than 2,700 posts on primarily two topics: Dolby Atm... |
