| How crucial is the quality of a digital cable? clearthinker Clock error is the bane of digital audio and cannot be properly fixed. If that’s true, how do you account for the many extraordinary recordings that have been made directly to digital? Analogue has its own clock because the ... | |

| Another dedicated circuit question An audible ground loop happens when you have two or more paths to ground that are of different potential (voltage). That's what causes the hum. If all your grounds are at the same potential - which isn't difficult to do when using proper dedicated... | |
| Good read: why comparing specifications is pointless ghdprentice I have no idea what you gain from your deceptive site and posts. I like charts, I was a practicing scientist for over a decade ...

| Which power cords have high resolutions and separation?? clearthinker Regular 16 gauge and 20 gauge cords. Don't waste your money on anything else. For power transmission and supply....wire is wire. Nonsense. Gauge matters. A 20AWG wire isn't sufficient for a 120VAC 15A line. Period. Materia... | |
| Balanced vs. Single Ended Interconnects Though I may be mistaken, it looks to me that your Pathos Classic One Mkiii is not truly balanced. That is, it does not use differential circuitry; the balanced inputs are either transformer-coupled, or simply single-ended inputs on XLR connectors... | |
| Bi amping my ML SL3 speakers lehelke3 Any idea why these speakersxare rated either 80-200 or 80-400WPC on various ML documentation. That is a significant difference ! Not really. The difference between 200 watts and 400 watts in 3 dB. | |
| SME V service manual/parts list petg60 ... if secondhand check with previous owner if by any reason the counterweight has been altered ... The SME V applies VTF dynamically using a spring, so the counterweight isn’t a factor in the calibration. I don’t know about the OP, but... | |
