| How long should speaker cables be? negative output impedance please explain, I've never heard that term | |
| How long should speaker cables be? Naim recommends 3.5 meters minimum for proper inductance and capacitance. Naim is an unusual situation. They traditionally designed their amplifiers with a certain amount of impedance expected in the cables. Their older amplifiers could beco... | |
| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? +10 for Mutec MC-3Plus USB Smart Clock. | |
| What cable companies make the best cables and sell them directly? Not many, I suspect. Why would you think otherwise? because I see endless debate on things like cables and very little if any discussion about optimizing a room (which includes speaker placement) granted, I don't spend much time here anymore s... | |
| What cable companies make the best cables and sell them directly? How many people spend countless hours swapping cables but won't spend a few minutes working with speaker placement or invest in room treatments? Cables should be the absolute LAST thing you worry about after EVERYTHING ELSE is perfected. In other... | |
| Point of diminishing returns for a Network Streamers? everyone agrees that the data (the bits, the ones and zeros) arriving at your DAC is unaffected by the ethernet cable, USB cables, switches, clockers, re-clockers, routers, streamers, computers, It is bit perfect no matter the differences in the a... | |
| Volume Control Too Sensitive lot of misinformation here You have an impedance mismatch between the amp and preamp. this has nothing to do with input/output impedance matching The Bryston puts out 15 volts, that’s a lot. Attenuating the signal (pad down) is an acceptable... | |
| Digital Interconnects - Which one is the BEST ??!! and yes digital cables have different Sonic characters ,how much are you willing to spend is the ? cable makers love people like this.. they are laughing all the way to the bank typically audiophool nonsense.. which stated another way is "the... | |
| Solid State Phono Stages The RIAA standard boost/cut is a range of 40 dB from 20-20KHz. Therefore, 0.4dB deviation is not critical. That does not mean I am saying that RIAA correction is not NEEDED. Raul, you have taken what I said and totally twisted it out of context.... | |
| Solid State Phono Stages As with any audio item almost always exist a " but " and in your unit is that’s weird that the RIAA deviation ( that’s the main critical characteristic along gain for a phono stage. ) has a swing of 0.4db ! rather silly to get excited about ... | |
| Solid State Phono Stages I just came across the MCCI Signature ULN myself two days ago and was very intrigued by it! Can you share where you got yours from? I can’t find any dealers in the USA and I trued contacting BMC directly and did not get a response. http://ww... | |
| Solid State Phono Stages +1 for a transimpedance stage. With a 2.5 Ω impedance your cartridge is a perfect candidate. I had Esoteric e-02, Allnic 3000, and also had the Sutherland Loco. I've also had a Channel D Lino C which was good but not as good as the others, but it ... | |
| Audiogon is becoming the hub for scammers. Yes well I bought a McIntosh preamp on Audiogon used it worked for 4 months and is now Dead. this is not what is meant by being scammed. If it worked for 4 months so you got what you paid for, it just unfortunately died. That happens a lot wit... | |
| Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience? Canare 4S11, best budget speaker cable by far. https://www.markertek.com/product/4s11ft/canare-4s11-star-quad-14awg-4-conductor-speaker-cable-grey-per-foot add some locking bananas and you are done https://www.amazon.com/Parts-Ex... | |
| Audiogon is becoming the hub for scammers. PayPal is at present the best way to guarantee that neither the buyer nor the seller is cheated or scammed. A seller doesn’t get his money until the buyer has received his goods and is genuinely satisfied that he’s gotten what he was promised. ... |
