| Using solid copper Door Bell wire as speaker wire. People cannot hear the difference between cables for many reasons. It could be their system that is not resolving enough, could be their hearing instrument or just negative placebo effect since they often strongly believe, that cables cannot sound... | |

| Mac set-up Hhh, before you do anything you have to know what you want to do. If you decide to stream S/Pdif directly from computer to DAC then you have to optimize computer and playback program for best results. If you use wireless or Ethernet then computer ... | |
| Is revealing always good? Bombaywalla, to me it also means "low distortion & accurate sounding". Many low-end systems sound muffled to me and that might be good in comparison to open sounding low-end systems projecting brightness harshness and distortion, but to me rev... | |
| preventing usb bus overload. Yioryos, you can easily do 80ft. CAT6 should be good for 100m=328ft. Better drives improve reliability but won't directly affect the sound. I keep 2 backups anyway. | |
| Digital Amplifier Questions For something that has absolutely nothing to do with the sound of your system, RF interference/leakage testing is sure a pain in the butt; mainly since I'm handicapped and walk with a cane.RF itself is way above our hearing range but different fre... | |
| Records with words with the letter S are slurred Excessive energy or distortion in 5-8kHz range. I got rid of it by buying better speakers with soft dome tweeters. Highs are still strong and extended but "S" sounds are very clean and natural. | |
| preventing usb bus overload. Firewire doesn't engage main computer processor in transfers. It might be irrelevant if you don't do any heavy processing at the same time. There are two different types of USB DACs Synchronous and Asynchronous. Synchronous DAC timing is created (... | |
| clipping and max rated watts/max volume From my experience it is around 1-2 o'clock position. Remaining travel/rotation allows for playback of low level recordings (or sources). | |
| Digital Amplifier Questions My class D amp switches at 500kHz. This square wave is filtered by the Zobel network at about 60kHz. Harmonics are most likely filtered out and main problem is about 1% residue of 500kHz switching frequency present on the speaker cable. This 500kH... | |
| How to convert TV optical output to XLR Many TVs, including Panasonics, don't even allow to choose PCM, outputting automatically Dolby for ATSC and PCM for NTSC. I bought Samsung LED TV because of that - it has choice in the menu for PCM or Dolby output. | |
| Direct optical out of Mac vs USB asynchronous I suspect Toslink from Mac would definitely benefit from reclocking. Optical is great avoiding ground loops, has no transmission line effects and is immune to ambient electrical noise, but because of slow transitions it suffers from the system noi... | |
| USB cable hype Axle, I remember from Stereophile test of AE that jitter on analog (jitter artifacts) were much worse (about 5x) than optical out. USB cable that does not use +5V supply for anything should not have it. Also shielding should be as good as possible. | |
| USB cable hype Axle, Bulk Transfer looks good but I wouldn't mind Asynchronous with resend. As long as all data gets to buffer jitter doesn't matter since buffer removed timing. New timing is recreated with new stable internal clock. The problem still is compute... |
