| How I would measure cables You know, what I suggest is you try shielded and unshielded power cables. Make some yourself, inexpensively. Find the Parts Connexion. See if you find a difference. I suggest using | |
| Storing Unused Audio Equipment Or... You could sell them all. I got to the point I had so much unused gear I just sold it all as a lot. It was life saving. :) Best,E | |
| The invention of measurements and perception They didn't just have themes, they had opening songs which described the plot to the newly watching. Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, A tale of a fateful trip That started from this tropic port Aboard this tiny ship ... source: http://... | |
| How I would measure cables Yep, demands. Fines are already being prepared and the Marshal of the Supreme Court of Audio is getting ready to deliver them along with grand jury summons. Look at me, demanding ... absolutely nothing, but hey, fines. | |

| Topping DX3 Pro - Live Hey Baybars!! Just fine! I had issues interfacing with my Astron 10 Amp supply, but it was related to having the wrong DC plug. The correct size is 2.1 ID x 5.5 OD. I wonder if they are having issues with the wall wart? Because in using the variab... | |
| How I would measure cables Maybe what I should do is measure a bunch of cables with brand new metrics and charge cable makers not to publish my reviews. Isn't that how things work in the US?? E | |
| How I would measure cables Give me a break. That Nelson Pass article is 40 years old. Hel-loo! And I'm sure he did the best he could think of with what he had, and this is my point. Here we are many years later, we should re-think our approach to cable measurements. | |

| dacs in preamps Well, lots of people have experienced that preamps can alter the sound in a positive, or negative way, so the idea that it is just a pass through doesn't work for me.Honestly, if that were the case, your HT processor would be just fine alone. Mayb... | |
| How I would measure cables To be clear: I am on the "cables make a small difference" camp. I'm also in the "If cables make a difference, we need measurements which help us understand them, compare them, and build them." That last part is why I am suggesting that with the ad... | |
| How I would measure cables Thanks @gs5556His thoughts in terms of how simple models can explain cables is aligned with my own. Notice the date, 1998. Storage, and A/D conversion being cheap and good, I think it may be time for some one else to take this on again. Maybe PS A... | |
| Small drivers vs big drivers @shadorne Did you mean sound realistic, or feel realistic?I ask because I am always curious how much we actually listen through our skin than our ears. | |
| Storing Unused Audio Equipment Condensing, freezing and melting... all would happen to the gear and all would be bad. About the only way to make it worse is to do it in near salt water. :) Best,E | |
| In listening to your system(s)...what is most crucial to your enjoyment? Ease.Ease as in the feeling I could easily hear for miles past the speakers into the recording. Like when you sit on a mountain top and feel like you can see the end of the world. That and smooth tonal balance without extra details. |
