| Best Integrated that you've heard under $5k sorry, I didn't read the whole thing but your question is too vague.Balanced or SE or does it matter?and the most important... how much power do you need?I use an Antelope Zodiac DAC that has analog inputs and the headphone output has plenty of po... | |
| The Most Cost Effective Tweak Speaker placement is important, very important, but getting it down to a fraction of an inch is a wasted effort.Went through this same crap with this joker name of Ron at work. Miller you are so full of it, etc etc. Party one time he decides to ... | |

| DAC That Punches Above Its Price Point My point is very simple: excellent sound component manufacturers know how to test all components, including parts used in product’s assembly, and final product test, in production flow to ensure every unit “meets the spec”, and therefore they ha... | |
| Fuses I don’t believe I just read another fuse thread that said all the same things that every other fuse thread has said.Guess I will never learn | |
| DAC That Punches Above Its Price Point In the audible frequencies for the example I provided, ESR is insignificant. in your opinion it is insignificant. You acknowledge that R is not a factor in the relevant equation in your opinion this is the only relevant equation your choice to ig... | |
| DAC That Punches Above Its Price Point The formula for capacitive reactance is: Xc = 1/ 2Pi.f.c This is a fact and as an engineer you know this, or should. There is no 'R' in the equation and therefore ESR is not a factor. Mr. Lemon, this puts you at the top of my ignore list. Jus... | |
| DAC That Punches Above Its Price Point Please point me to any of sound components “certified” by audition at the end of “measurements based” production line. I have friends who are very highly respected designers/builders of sound components who would not think of shipping a component ... | |
| DAC That Punches Above Its Price Point "measurements …. mean zero”...being analog circuitry design engineer, I disagree with such attitude. i why did you misquote him? he said "Measurements alone mean zero" which is vastly different when you leave out a word | |
| DAC That Punches Above Its Price Point I’ve had the Gustard X16 for less than a year and love it! ($500)Check out review at ASR: That isn’t a review. It is a set of measurements. He doesn’t even mention if he listens to it.If you believe as ASR does that all that matters is how somet... | |

It has gotten worse because a certain % of people embrace a leader who has legitimized childish put downs and name calling. If the leader is celebrated for childis... | |
| Cartridge ISOLATION; What Say You? With the cartridge we want some combination of materials structured so as to hold the cartridge firmly in a fixed relationship to the head shell, and yet at the same time have just enough flexibility on a micro level to dissipate cartridge vibrati... | |
| High Quality dac with network streamer saves $1,000s links of exactly what fiber port switches you used and Ethernet converters? you can use a Cisco 2960. It has a fiber port and highly regarded by many as a great switch for audio purposes. It can be easily modified to run from a DC supply rather... | |
| Record Cleaning Machines Ultrasonic cleaning can be very effective against oils and greases, ...... . BUT, they need some chemistry to both lower the surface tension of the fluid to better wet the record makes sense, but many claim they are using ultra pure water to ... | |
| Record Cleaning Machines I can’t imagine using the Kirmuss system.. . Life is too short.My understanding is that ultrasonic is not effective on removing grease and oils. Is this correct?After trying various VPI type machines and a Degritter I use the Gem Dandy. http://hif... |
