| The Science of Cables Not science:I mixed up a bunch of rare and expensive herbs in my kitchen, and they cure the common cold in 2 weeks, guaranteed! The idea that science or engineering block discovery is nonsense. So, make up a batch, cure a bunch of people and then ... | |
| Looking for a little help for speakers I may purchase For an amp, if you have the physical space:https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9dd43-luxman-505ux-mk-1-integrated-amp-solid-stateThe model is recently discontinued, and usually around $5k, so if you are interested I'd move quickly. | |
| The Science of Cables Science is great, but it is built up on observation, measurement, hypothesis, conclusions. I look forward to seeing this occur more regularly in amp and cable design. Snake oil sales men on the other hand write long, meandering pieces with claims ... | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing Hey pcc67 - I seriously wonder if sometimes these gadget cables aren’t made the entirely wrong way. I mean, to transmit MORE noise. Ideally we want 60 Hz and nothing else. Copper does great. Using Litz or fancy conductors, etc is the opposite of w... | |
| Who uses power conditioning? Hey DTX! That's the crux of the matter. Unless you have an oscilloscope with spectrum analyzer and/or distortion meter most of us can't. The Furman is VERY good at removing noise in the audible and EMI/RFI spectrum, not to mention among the best s... | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing Hi pcc67 - Unobtanium. The claim of exclusivity in the copper, insulation, construction methods. Interesting you heard a difference and didn't like them, what cables were they? | |
| Faint hum.... Ground loop on the analog inputs. Try disconnecting all your analog inputs and add one at a time. See if you can recreate this with either alone, or if it requires both. Try plugging everything into the same strip, and unplug any coaxial cables in... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 PS - I do see enough changes to the impedance and overall sensitivity that I expect this will require nearly completely new crossovers, and slightly lower efficiencies. | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 Good find Prof, reading the specs on their site, the big difference I see is power handling. Long term power handling has more than doubled. This is by no means a simple graphene coating though, as the article points out, significant changes to th... | |
| Who uses power conditioning? I am going to install a Install a Yeti 1000 Power Station Goal Zero. Any opinions on D/C to A/C totally Clean power? Sounds like a cool idea, we need more people trying this. :) I don't think it will be better than a PS Audio power plant, but def... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs Here's how I do things, though I usue a Furman with mulitple zones, I plug in everything: https://inatinear.blogspot.com/2019/04/power-management-for-frugal-audiophiles.html | |
| Anyone ever opened MIT cables? I was answering the OP, not you @grbwitt | |
| Anyone ever opened MIT cables? There's' plenty of images online, just use your favorite search engine. | |
| How does Amazon sell a 300.00 cartridge for 180.00? PS, in the old days cartridges were among the highest markup items around, about 10x their cost. Kind of like tooth brushes at the pharmacy. Insane markups. Best,E | |
| Really bad sounding power cables ? Okay, but wait a minute. Didn't you just build your own DIY power cord? I did. So is the problem you can't hear any difference? Or you want to see if there's one even more horrible sounding? I wouldn't call it a problem. I would call it an inves... |
