| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Hi @folkfreak Anything mechanical and spinning has known susceptibility to vibration noise, including CD’s, DVD’s and of course phonograph players. I wouldn’t be surprised if CD players were susceptible to jitter or even flat-out read errors with ... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Erik -- I have nothing to add to your comments, best take them up with Shunyata directly. That's far beyond the level of attention this deserves. :) Best,Erik | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? As I've said before, testing and measuring the benefits of vibration control in home audio should be easy, and inexpensive. I've yet to see the loop closed. Doing this work could lead to cheaper and better sounding equipment when we have definite,... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? @folkfreak 2) Grand Prix Audio racking systems -- which include a variety of isolation methods including ball/cup feet exactly to deal with floor borne vibration (Apex footers)http://www.grandprixaudio.com/research http://www.grandprixaudio.com/... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? 1) Shunyata Dark Field Elevators for cable isolationhttp://www.shunyata.com/images/technical_features/dfss-chart.jpgIf the claim is that these images demonstrate the benefits of cable vibration isolators then I call BS.

| DEXA Neutrino ultra low jitter master clock? He totally knows his stuff. :) Erik | |
| Entry Level Interconnect Reccomendations The Parts Connexion brand Connex has solid core silver interconnects. Not very rugged, but great sounding. :) Best,Erik | |
| Can a small speaker sound really really good? Hehehe, having "no budget concerns" means a whole different thing in DIY world than store bought. :) It is true though, you can get droolworthy parts for a song if you know how to put them together yourself. :) I encourage you to post at the DIYAu... | |
| Multi format playback: DAC w/ DVD-A capability? Rip to HDD? Just get an Oppo? Hi!First, depends how you are buying. I buy most of my music as downloads in 24/96kHz. So, of course, it goes to a hard disk. Occasionally I buy CD's as well, and I rip those too, and that's fairly painless for me with MediaMonkey.If you are reall... | |
| Any News on MQA Lately? @ejr1953 If PS Audio wanted to I'm pretty sure they could implement it purely as a software solution for you as could Chord. | |
| Focal 1037BE; All-Rounders Extraordinaire! @klipschking In the end that's all that matters! My point was, if you hear a difference in a Focal speaker it's probably not due to part spend in the crossover. :) They're all quite frugal. Best,Erik | |
| Any News on MQA Lately? One thing that I should point out to anyone comparing MQA, is that to do it right re-mastering is required. Meaning you have to work your way back to the original multi-track digital files before you can produce a 2 channel MQA product. Becnhmark ... | |
| Infinity kappa 9 ebay crossover I think to Tim's point, if you get into an Infinity it is not worth it to try and replace parts here and there. They need a modern crossover re-think. Whether you purchase from some one who has done the work for you, or do it yourself, a white pap... | |
| Focal 1037BE; All-Rounders Extraordinaire! While I'm glad you enjoy your Focal's, the one thing I've never seen them do is spend much on the crossover. I have seen them do all sorts of tricks in the crossovers, but spend much? Nope. | |
| Any News on MQA Lately? Hi @ptss HDCD is the perfect analogy. HDCD is a pretty complicated format as well. Microsoft bought HDCD but then did nothing at all with it. It's a shame because I would love to have a software scanner to go through all my FLAC files, and decode ... |
