| Stupid question of the day .the only stupid question is the one not askedThat response usually comes from people who have never been a teacher. I taught for 9 years in an associate degree program and I got asked a lot of very stupid questions.. | |

| An analog question for those who record .Duplicate exactly??No.But I'm so close I don't care about the difference. | |
| small companies making today's best products Dear Mr. Dealer. Unfortunately for many of us we have no access to a dealer even if we wanted to use one. I recently moved from Middle TN and just a few years ago was within a few hours of some good dealers in Memphis, Knoxville, and Nashville. La... | |

| Newbie: unbalanced versus XLR on DAC .there is no consensus.never has been.never will be. | |
| An analog question for those who record .Reel to reel is very expensive. The tapes are very expensive, the machines are expensive, and the maintenance is expensive.VCR is dying if not dead and the analog side while superior to cassette is inferior to most other possibilities.The only pr... | |
| Coda CSIb - what loudspeaker would be perfect? 6550C,It doesn't work that way. Assuming you have decent quality gear and you don't have a gross mismatch between amp and speaker (like trying to drive an inefficient speaker with a flea powered amp) the speaker will always be the overwhelming fac... | |
| Coda CSIb - what loudspeaker would be perfect? The perfect speaker is one that sounds the best to you in your price range. In other words; your quest is backwards. Since the speaker is by far the most colored of all components you must first find a speaker you like and then find an amp that is... | |
| Will a quality USB cable make a difference.... I especially enjoy those who dismiss the possibility it is the cable yet make unsubstantiated guesses like "I believe that most of the sound effects that are erroneously identified as jitter are in fact the result of elasticity buffer stack overfl... | |
| Will a quality USB cable make a difference.... I don't see where the audio industry guy's position is relative. We're concerned with playback, not recording. They use many devices and techniques in the studio that don't apply to home listening. For instance; some argue that balanced gear is a ... | |
| Will a quality USB cable make a difference.... .It is obvious that the first 2 responders don't have the system or savvy to hear the difference.Just kidding, like was pointed out above, you will never get the answer you seek by asking that question. When you ask these cables questions, if you ... | |
| How to ground old turntable with no grounding wire So probably the cartridge is picking up hum from some other equipment in the vicinity. Try moving the table, rotate it 90 degrees or move it further from the other stuff. | |
| How to ground old turntable with no grounding wire I would get a wire and touch one end to a metal spot on the preamp and the other end to any metal spots you can find on the turntable like the spindle. Experiment with various spots and see if the hum goes away. If it does then look for a way to p... | |
| Volume control vs. attenuation control Not exactly. Gain is simply the ratio of output to input. the 0db setting isn't arbitrary, it is the point where out = in.If the gain is less than 1 (output less than input) we say the preamp is attenuating the signal. With 2 volts in and one volt... |
