| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? Let’s take a look for a moment at what kind of errors you’re actually talking about here. We know that the velocity of the audio signal in copper wire is some high percentage of the speed of light, 186,000 miles per second. Let’s say for argument’... | |

Listen for yourself."One more question: once the signal leaves the amplifier it still needs to get to the speakers. The speaker cables introduce additional velocity differences i... | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? Tbg wrote,"Mapman, from your speakers all sound waves travel the same speed. From your source and preamp to the amp each stage of amplification passes different speeds, except in Roger’s X-10 MkIII amp."How does the amp know what the correct relat... | |

| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? Tbg, it’s an uh, affectation to refer to the speed of sound in one’s listening room as Mach 1. Give me a break. Actually Roger's whole manner of discourse is kind of an affectation, although I can live with that, so no big deal. Besides most speak... | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? That’s very unusual, to refer to the speed of sound waves in the room as Mach 1, since Mach number is a dimensionless quantity, whereas the speed of sound has dimensions ft/second. Ordinarily we see Mach number associated with aircraft or spacecra... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I don’t like to draw any conclusions before all the facts are in but so far this appears to be just a lot of who shot John, with the usual suspects all lined up trying to punch holes in the whole aftermarket fuse balloon, as is their wont. It’s no... | |
| What is the best dielectric? Some reasons to admire a design such as Anti Cables are (1) no dielectric, (2) no jacket, (3) no shielding, (4) high purity copper and last but not least, (5) directional ARROWS. | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? Well, there are obviously lots of reasons why a system might lack focus including, but are not limited to, lack of vibration isolation, lack of sufficient or correctly placed room treatments, disregard for cable and fuse directionality, disregard ... | |
| Why do all audio forums on the internet seem "dead" ? Uh, The Daily Audiophile is not a catch-all of audio forums. It's simply a listing of recent articles published on the various web sites. | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? "geoffkait, so you’re the one. Organic neuron stimulation? telepathic-enabling technology?... like in the film Æon Flux?! That’s way cooler then this gear thing."I prefer to think of myself more like in the film The Men Who Stare at Goats. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... "It is far, far from my intention to cast a pall on SR product, as I've greatly enjoyed tweaks for my setup over the years and was very much looking forward to this one, and it's not in my nature to be a downer on something so fun for all of us."H... | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? Funny you should say that. I actually don’t use an amplifier. Or a preamp. Pretty ironic since you're the big amp guy and I'm a non amp guy. Let me riddle you this: is no amplifier better than any amplifier? I also eschew fuses, transformers, int... | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? I actually have eight - count ’em!! - products that reduce distortion in the sound. None of these products affect the audio system per se - not the electronics, not cables, not the house AC, not the house wiring, not speakers, and not room acousti... | |
| fuse damage The Roger Modjeski quote in which he explains what he means by the term, High Breaking, which apparently is the issue he is all hung up on. Now, please correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't his definition mean he has heartburn about ALL GLASS FUSE... |
