Test your DAC! Free Format Comparison.
Do you have one of the few discrete r2r multibit dacs that can convert DXD without down sampling  kefas?Cheers George 
Impedance Question?
Yes that’s if the coupling cap is 5uF that I used as a hypothetical. If it's 1uf the -3dB is at 16hz. or .47uf the -3db at 32hzCheers George 
Impedance Question?
You say your amp this 10kohm, this is the 10000 in the formula, and the 5 is the 5uf cap I said should be the minimum for -3db at 3.18hz bass rolloff.Cheers George  
Suggestions on SS/Mono Amps for woofer towers
Big power Class-D they like 4ohms and bass is what they're good at, if nothing else.Cheers George

Synergistic Red Fuse ...
You are "assuming" that every fuse is needed for protection purposes, and that there is no difference. That makes an "ass" out of "u." No your are sunshine, as any fuse is there to stop component/s from frying up ot even exploding, which can resu... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Only idiots bypass fuses, risking fire and life, thinking the sound will be bettered by doing so.Cheers George   
Impedance Question?
(2 pie x 10kohm x 5uf) 6.28 x 10000 x 5 to the minus 6, = then 1/x (reciprocal) the answer which equals -3db @ 3.18hzCheers George 
Test Equipment vs The Ear
Just as listening to music with an electrical engineer is a waste of time. Not if that EE is also an audiophile, as then he could tell you where you could improve your system, with mods to whatever you have if it's not sounding the best.And you... 
Impedance Question?
The Dared apparently has a low input impedance. Yes as you stated 100ohms in your previous post, which will drive any poweramp. But being a tube it will be capacitor coupled, and if that cap is not big enough in uF, that 100ohms output impedance ... 
Impedance Question?
toddverrone554 posts09-29-2017 11:50amQuick and dirty answer: you want the amp to have an input impedance at least 10x the output impedance of the pre. This is a good simple answer.Cheers George 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
And despite being a "waste of time," you are still in this thread. 🙄 He's for the same reason as Al and others are, to give honest technical views to the gullible who may be sucked into this snake oil/voodoo.  EG: picking up 3-4v of mains volta... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
try both directions and let your ears determine the 'right' installation. As he's stated " but don't hear any difference what so ever."Cheers George     
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
veerapaneni I got blue fuse for my ARC REF 5SE but don’t hear any difference in sound when compared to OEM fuse. That’s because you are immune to "expectation bias." Send it back for a refund. veerapaneni There is no direction information on fus... 
Why do Asian looks for old Wadia CDP at high price?
jl351,643 posts09-27-2017 7:01amWhat are some of the R2R Wadia models?  Thanks These are some Wadia's that use Multibit: The one with my favourite Multibit chip being the latest PCM1704 WADIA 9 8 x PCM63P-K + DSP – CS8412-C...
