| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? kosst_amojan@geoffkait "You’re right about one thing, the AC current does travel in both directions. But only one of those directions is audible. See if you can guess which one. A prize for the right answer."The answer is both. How else do you thi... | |
| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? azbrdWell for some us the world is flat and others its round.If you dont understand how electrons play a roll in an electric circuit how can you understand that arrows on a wire are meaningless.60 hertz(meaning the current changes direction or pol... | |
| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? almargFor the record, a minor correction to Azbrd’s post just above, with which I suspect he will agree: "1/60th" should be "1/120th."Regards,-- AlI assume you mean aside from the fact that his entire post is a Strawman argument. To which I suspec... | |
| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? azbrdgeoffkait, you need to take a course or study the fundamentals of AC ie ALTERNATING CURRENT. The electrons in an AC circuit don’t really move along with the current flow. Instead, they sort of sit and wiggle back and forth. They move one dire... | |
| Cable Snake Oil Antidote In the interest of balanced reporting, legendary Abbey Road Studio Two just upgraded their cables with Van Damme Professional Blue Series Studio Grade cables, obtainable on Amazon for $43 for 6 meters plus shipping. | |
| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? azbrdThe amp has to absorb current generated by the the speakers to be able to control them. The direction arrows on your wires seem to point wrong 50% the time for this fundamental part the the circuit that the speakers are a part of. Arrows, whe... | |
| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? amg56IMHO grounding the shield effects the EMF.>>>>Seems unlikely. Any evidence? Why would you NOT ground the shield? Pardon me for saying it sounds like a WAG. | |
| Do I need higher quality power cords? Other high end amp manu-fractures will be very sad to hear this news. You know, Lamm, DartZeel, Classe, Parasound, Gamut, McIntosh, Mark Levinson, Conrad Johnson, Krell and Pass. | |
| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? lalitk“When I start playing a song, pull the Ethernet cable, and the song plays on for the duration, like it does with Tidal, what effect is the cable having?”There won’t be any music to play if there was no cable between the switch and renderer t... | |
| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? jinjukugeoffkait “Once again it looks like we’re faced with the likelihood that there is no such thing as a scientifically valid listening test. There are too many variables in the case of long term listening to be able to definitively conclude an... | |
| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? nonoise“I found this statement from John Atkinson (the one that measurement obsessed folk fall back on for support) to put a kibosh on most A/B/X tests: ...2nd order behaviors -eg-distortion signatures and noise modulations that characterize sound... | |
| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? Whatever. | |
| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? ostensible_constituencygeoffkait: “Oh, brother, one of the A Boys checks in with his usual failure to grasp the whole directionality thing. Doesn’t any one of the electronics EE pretend gurus even understand what directionality is?Once again, we h... | |
| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? cleedsgeoffkait “Mutually agreed terms, even with lawyers involved, are no insurance whatsoever that the results of a listening test mean anything if the results are negative.”Quite so. Nor does it necessarily mean anything even when the results a... | |
| Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next? rvpiano OPOkay, this is ridiculous!Notwithstanding all that has been written here, today my system is sounding like it NEVER sounded before. All the parameters of sound are way better.Is it electrical? Who the f@#$ knows?!Its enough to drive you ... |
