| Low buzzing through speaks @kingbr One thing my amp is a C19 20 amp connection, I’m thinking trying the cheater on that would not be a good idea? I did notice that in the manual diagram (that it had a 20 amp IEC connector on the rear), but it didn’t sink in. Thanks for... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks So just like a normal speaker wire between the 2? Correct, but I'm still very interested in hearing the results of the other tests I mentioned. Whilst I didn’t try the cheater plug specially, the fact that the Hum-X didn’t work leads me to be... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks @kingbr How would I connect a wire between the grounds on the amp and Mac? I don’t really see anywhere on either to connect a wire? Looking at the on-line manuals, there’s a GND screw/connection on the back of each of the units. Connect a wir... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks I see that both the Sim and Mac have 3 prong AC plugs. I don't think anyone has suggested it yet, but another suggestion is to temporarily (just for test purposes) lift a ground on one of the units (either the Sim or Mac), with the XLR connectors ... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks Just wondering...am I correct in understanding that when all XLR’s are unplugged between the Sim and Mac, there is no buzzing? If that is the case, if you reconnect just 1 of the 5 XLR cables, does the buzzing return? If so, in all speakers? Just... | |
| What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music? Happy in the stereo world. Lived through the quad days of audio. Never invested in 5.1 or 7.1. Familiar with Atmos, but not interested. | |
| 5 Dumb Things Audiophiles Believes. Wow, if anyone thinks he knows everything, this guy sure thinks he does. IMO, this individual is extremely condescending, and most will not enjoy watching him (even for just the first 30 seconds). I’m a very open-minded guy, but there’s no way I w... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES @vicolindo Glad to hear you gave it a try, and to your ears, heard a difference...and for such a small price (right?!). I too always learn from these forums. | |
| ETHERNET CABLES @nlitworld Glad to see and hear that you noticed it too. That is what I noticed too - more detail, and who, when partaking in this hobby, doesn’t want more audio detail?! I know it took years to train my ears and brain to acknowledge perceiving th... | |
| Need 25 foot interconnects You need balanced amps to make any difference with balanced cables. Necessity is determined by RF noise in your playback space and sensitivity to it of your electronics. 100% totally agree. Those 25' length RCA cables are going to make great RF... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES each time there’s a shielded cable, the sound is rough, stage height tanks, treble splashes, just a disaster. OK, that is what you hear, and I can respect that. You’ve already determined that shielded ethernet cables are not for you. I’m cool w... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES The Audioquest write-up is from the marketing department. What? No! 😘 The first paragraph may have validity for analog signals but neither their long grain copper nor the polyethylene insulation will make an audible difference to a digital si... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES forget the miles upon miles of cable that’s laid out, or the numerous amount of routers and switches it has to go through. Don’t worry though, the 1 meter blue jean ethernet cable is going to clean it all up. It sounds like we have some skeptic... | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding @whart Yet I am still emotionally attached to those records and I am a pretty good curator. Eventually, all will get disposed of through my estate when the time comes. Same here. | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding @big_greg Ha! I love it! 😂 |
