| XLR USA TO EUROPEAN-WILL IT CAUSE DAMAGE OK, thanks Almarg. I was not aware. But as you say, in a balanced signal it makes no difference - since they are (ought to be) mirror images of each other.The key thing is that ground remains in the same place.Good to go. I wonder why on earth ... | |
| XLR USA TO EUROPEAN-WILL IT CAUSE DAMAGE to the best of my knowledge there is no difference, both should adhere to IEC standards. We do. read more here:https://everything.explained.today/XLR_connector/Note there are 3 and 5 pin XLRs. What you are really talking about is balanced audio ov... | |
| So many drivers.....better sound or just more sound? As other have noted, there are many issues here. But many small drivers gives real advantages (at high cost). The ratio of magnet to piston is large (power to weight ratio, basically). Each driver is stressed less and has less excursion, therefor... | |
| Power Amplifier Longevity It depends on the quality of the original - how good are the parts? How conservatively are they used/specified? I have 100s of products out there and the basic answer is "30 years and counting".The limiting factor in a good product is electrolyti... | |
| Floor standing speaker recommendations new or used, $10,000 and under Steve59 - i have the predecessor to The Music - the Mahlers. Pretty amazing. Extraordinarily transparent. Pretty darn full range, and effortless. Most speakers strain in dynamics land. These things (like the IRS or RS-1B noted above) just get l... | |
| Floor standing speaker recommendations new or used, $10,000 and under for something completely different, Infinity RS-beta. Stunning dynamics, bass, large image. flawed? Isn't everything? | |
| Extra power or cleaner power? Oops, one mroe thing. Put dirty things (computers, digital streamers, your Roon core) on another circuit, on the other side of the filter. Otherwise you are locking the noise **in** :-) | |
| Extra power or cleaner power? Oh, and yes, I did drag a "home run" 20A line to my system. THEN i added the filter. | |
| Extra power or cleaner power? I'd get a good amp (which ought to have a good power supply, which ought to mitigate much of this), and rather than a power regenerator, a good, simple, non-magic noise filter.A power regenerator sufficient to handle a substantial amp or pair of a... | |
| I'm interested in hearing what "the best" systems sound like, where to go? My two cents: someone mentioned high end audio shows. Beware!They are great experiences, and a great place to talk, get quick listens, etc. But sound will not be optimal and if it is, its luck -and that distorts what is good vs bad. Having set u... | |
| Audio Connection/Johnny Rutan Indeed John is a good guy. And can actually hear. | |
| does MacBook Pro need a DAC? quick comment: there is talk here of the headphone jack being optical as well. Maybe, maybe not, either way don;t use it. Toslink is merely the optical version of SPDIF. It has some disadvantages - limited to 96 kHz, and very jittery. Since you ha... | |
| does MacBook Pro need a DAC? If money is an issue, you can get Audirvana for $79.00 It is a vast improvement on the built in DAC. Either i'm missing something here or need to point out an error. Audirvana is a media player (software). It is not a hardware digital-to-analog... | |
| does MacBook Pro need a DAC? Does not require an external DAC, but one can improve sound quality. You may or may not think it’s worth the effort.All true. Just to expand. a) the MacBook pro has a built in DAC =. b) it is mediocre. c) what is your quality standard? In a reason... | |
