| My new CDP does SACD too.... So what did you buy and what do you think of SACD vs RB on your new Cary 306 Pro CDP? | |
| How important is EMI and RFI rejection? What Powder is describing sounds like normal (and what I would recommend) grounding to earth ground. Clio, your question was regarding floating ground and the bypass cap will work and still maintain a floating ground. But as everyone on this threa... | |

| How important is EMI and RFI rejection? Hi Clio,Assuming RFI is the issue a .01uF ceramic bypass capacitor connected between the floating ground and real ground will shunt all the radio frequency energy away from the audio system and to real ground.Dan | |
| Widening Soundstage Yes, toe them out. It's free and easily reversible. | |
| How important is EMI and RFI rejection? Thanks for the AA link. I see he's basically saying he prefers a floating ground vs actual ground. I'd say that's fine - most of the time. The goal of good ground design is to get all the equipment at the same negative voltage level. For actual gr... | |
| If cables can break-in, can they then wear-out? Chadeffect,Dan's Di Shi Cable Restoration Elixir does not restore velvety blackness. Only inky blackness. Please do not misrepresent my product in this esteemed public forum.As you note, solid core conductors pose a special problem. I am currently... | |
| Widening Soundstage "Positioning the speakers with no toe in definitely widens the sound stage but at the expense of imaging "This supports what Mapman is suggesting. I'll throw in the Gallo Reference 3.1s (or Ref 3.5s coming later this year) as a great imaging speak... | |
| If cables can break-in, can they then wear-out? "you must be sure that the cable anti wear out oil was made from the same snake oil that caused the cable to be so special in the first place"This is old and inaccurate information! I have developed a special elixir which will replenish the di in ... | |
| How important is EMI and RFI rejection? "Then again there are people like Charles Hansen of Ayre who have a totally different view on grounding."OK, I'll bite :) Where can read up on Charlie's view of grounding? Thanks! | |
| If cables can break-in, can they then wear-out? Theo, meet Bob :) | |
| Widening Soundstage Put some casters on your chair and pull it up for near-field listening. Push it back when you're done to allow ingress/egress.In general it looks like your listening position is to close to the back wall. Move everything forward.Try a slight outwa... | |
| If cables can break-in, can they then wear-out? I agree that a piece of wire does not need nor benefit from break-in. But a cable is a bit more complex. The wire and the connections can oxidize over time, the dielectric can break down, deform, lose efficiency, etc. Granted this is over a very l... | |
| Multichannel SACD with computer as transport? "you can capture the DSD data stream from a transport. "Is that a drive mounted in a computer transport or a SACD CDP transport? | |
| How important is EMI and RFI rejection? You're welcome, Wavetrader. Please note that I mentioned grounding in my initial response. IMO, (no interest or ties to Tripoint) you'll be paying them to implement my low cost suggestions in a beautiful box with margins that boggle the mind. Ther... |
