| Is remastered mainly just less jitter? Just to mention CDs aren’t the only thing being overly compressed these days, as shown in the Dynamic Range Database. Vinyl reissues, SACDs, even hi res downloads. Even those cool SHM CDs from Japan are getting the business. The horror, the horror... | |
| Experience with Intona USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Isolator Since the magnetic fields in question are directional it's wise to rotate the brick 90 degrees if the first position is ineffective. Also it's best to place the brick on the output transformer is there is a choice. | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Re Teo’s link to holographic universe. The following paragraphs describe David Bohm’s view of the universe, which he enunciated many years ago, circa 1980.Borrowed from photography, the hologram is Bohm’s favorite metaphor for conveying the struct... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Geoffkait: There it is! Did I call that one or not? It was just a matter of time. The Appeal to Controlled Blind Testing argument. One of the most oft used logical fallacies of them all.to which jinjuku replied,"You may have missed the evaluatio... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... In response to the statement,"proposed testing protocol is not valid for several reasons including the simple fact that it is not double-blind"jinjuku said,"Who said it was going to be double blind?"No one said it was going to be double blind. Tha... | |
| Experience with Intona USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Isolator Perhaps your brick was in the wrong direction since it’s directional. Mine worked great. Covering the transformer with Mu metal would most likely be better obviously. | |

| Experience with Intona USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Isolator analog OPThanks for the post. I’m going to try a VPI brick (a piece of steel in a nice wood box) that I’ve had forever. I also have a Curious USB that I will try. Thanks!Not wishing to contradict but VPI brick does not contain a piece of steel. Hi... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Fast Fourier Transforms always settle these sorts of arguments for me. 😀Next stop, controlled blind testing. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Electric Ladyland, cassette. Experience Hendrix version issued in 1997 on cassette, CD and vinyl by the Hendrix Family Corporation and remastered by Eddie Kramer. Never go against the family. Lol | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? Just to close the loop as it were lol for inner tube isolation, the reason this DIY technique doesn’t work all that well compared to other techniques IMHO is largely due to the incorrect assumption that isolation is supposed to be "floating on air... | |
| Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus! Only you can say for sure. Like you said, what do you have to lose? | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... I admit you got me there. | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... jinjuku"Wait, so people can have positive results totally sighted, negative results when the answers are taken away before hand?"I didn’t say that. Nor do I think the statement is true."So you are saying sighted evaluation is the legitimate way to... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... The reason negative results don't mean anything is because too many things can go wrong. Blame it on the Stones. You do realize cables aren't the only thing in audio where this happens, don't you? It's the nature of the beast. 😩 |
