| Hum in a phono cartridge? When you unbalance the phono cartridge, you connect ground to neutral. If you mean AC, then no. Otherwise, are you calling ground the preamp shield conductor and neutral the catridge (-) ?? | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification @georgehifi There’s a reason for it, it’s there and real, and if you can’t hear it, fine. But please, don’t tell others they can’t, when they can, and the measurements back them up. George, All you do is tell others they can't be happy with Clas... | |
| Magico A3 vs S3 MKI Vino, Where there seems to be the most disagreement about the Magico’s has to do with the lower voice and piano registers as well as the treble tilt. I encourage you to listen for yourself, and make sure these areas are what you like. Some have su... | |
| Hum in a phono cartridge? @cleeds OK ... help me out a little here. But even if it gets grounded at the phono input, that is a single ground reference. Where's' the competing ground that the phono catridge attaches to? I'm not trying to be difficult here... I'm just genuin... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification The evidence of my ears are telling me Class D must do distortion right. Go figure! Exactly. I’ve also heard megabuck class-A amplifiers around the time I got my Class D. Honestly preferred the Class D. I’ve had several audiophiles in my home and... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification Go to Stereophile and look at the last 5 or 6 class D amps they’ve measured. Unless JA applies a low pass filter on the AP the output signals look horrendous. Even with the low pass filter, they all have ringing. I was just looking at the Below C... | |
| Random blast of 0db white noise. Why would a DAC output an analog signal when losing lock? Because the DAC gets confused about where to start reading music within the data stream. Think of the data not as music, but packets, or envelopes. Each packet has more data than just music... | |
| Hum in a phono cartridge? So, my statement was "Balanced and isolated"Where is the ground contact happening at the cartridge side? I'm honestly curious, as I've not touched a turntable in decades. | |
| Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier Nice to know Coda is still around, last I checked their web site was in transition, and I always fear that means the end. | |
| Sound changes when a campfire is between you? Heat means the air pressure above the campfire is higher than elsewhere. :) | |
| Random blast of 0db white noise. Full range digital noise is like this, so maybe don't do that. :) Use the Denon as your volume control if you can. What is happening most likely is that for some reason your DAC is loosing the lock on the digital signal. Could be a bad connection,... | |
| The invention of measurements and perception You're being entirely arbitrary in your definition of what constitutes a measurement device. You seem to be hung up on intent. What I'm trying to focus on is that a measurement (i.e. measure, number) has to be invented. They get invented when a... | |
| The invention of measurements and perception jea48, aren't microphones and tape recorders essentially measurement devices/test equipment? If it wasn't for these measurement devices would you even know what the timbre of a performance were? At least for the intentions of this thread, no. ... | |
