is it possible to make digital audio sound like vintage vinyl
One problem is see in your comparison Mike, is you have chosen a DAC that euphonically matches what you prefer in vinyl. For you, that is the best sound possible, but to make the most accurate comparison of digitized and played back vinyl, a DAC t... 
Simple question, or is it...
Bigger loads represent lower electrical resistance and/or higher power dissipation which assuming a constant voltage source means higher current. That is convention. When someone says "load up a circuit" they don't mean disconnect the circuit , i....

Load = 1/R in most people's electrical terminology. Increasing the load means decreasing the electrical resistance.  When someone says a heavy electrical load they don't mean less power. Maybe you do or maybe you are just being difficult out of bo... 
Distortion on the Power Line
The best thing would be to determine if it is your own home our outside ... hence the 0 cost, quick method of figuring it out I described above. If you determine its outside your house you may have a remedy with the power company so yes it is acti... 
Distortion on the Power Line
Typically a solar power system would have very low voltage THD unloaded, but the potential for higher current THD loaded. They are measured and rated for current THD.  The output impedance should be a lot lower than the output impedance of a share... 
is it possible to make digital audio sound like vintage vinyl
My ad hoc tests with audiophiles says otherwise, however, you start from 2 false premises. 1) that a turntable has not already thrown away information. It has thrown away a ton of information.  2) That given a turntable has already thrown away a t...

Digitize a turntable with a good A/D and play it back with a good DAC. Will you be able to tell the difference? I think you can but need to address crosstalk and other artifacts too. 
Directionality Explained
geoffkait, when someone is blinded by a dogmatic need to behave in a certain way, then will often read into a situation what they want to read or and unfortunately that interferes with their comprehension and objectivity. I didn't use a call to au... 
Directionality Explained
Most degreed engineers I know that work in electronics, are electrical engineers, and refer to themselves as electrical engineers or electrical and electronics engineers. Degreed electrical/electronics engineers would also be well aware of transmi... 
Distortion on the Power Line
Please ignore my troll. I have triggered him and he posts nonsense after many of my posts.The static load of your PS audio unit is pretty small when it is not supplying power to anything else. That static load will not impact the THD. I am sorry t... 
Rules of getting best audio ? maybe..
If great sound is your final goal, then start with #6. Don't spend some time .. spend a lot of time and good money on room acoustics and learn or hire someone. I would take good speakers with a good set of electronics in a great room over a great ... 
Distortion on the Power Line
Is that a consistent 7%, or high during the day and drops at night?  If it's drops at night it is likely Air Con, but even then that is a fair amount of THD. As it is incoming I assume the PS unit is measuring voltage THD.It's pretty easy to deter... 
Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?
Would that be triggered or Triggered? 
Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?
Geoffkait, I think you are confusing blind with deaf. Similar words, different meaning.Glupson, I think this comes down to extraordinary claims, and while there has been tests on amplifiers over the years that showed that audiophiles can have a ha... 
Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?
^^^^^And this would be the typical answer to the question. Excuses and deflections. Is the questions overly hard?  Why don't suppliers do public blind tests to remove all doubt about audibility? It is not a question of they rarely do it ... it is ...
