| surge protection & noise? Rsjm80, I use Furman Elite 20 PFi. PF stands for power factor correction - in short big inductor and big capacitor. On one hand it appear as load closer to resistive but on the other can provide high current to the load (because of mentioned capac... | |
| XLR vs RCA Al, overall gain might be 6dB higher making it uncomfortable to adjust volume. Poor design for no reason. | |
| XLR vs RCA This voltage gain is furthre reduced in power amp to achieve the same overall game. The only difference is better noise immunity. | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Mceljo, there are thing that cannot be measured but still can be optimized. You can see (oscilloscope) and hear the evidence of Transient Intermodulation but it is very hard and there are no standards to measure it. In addition amplifier with grea... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Scvan, even assuming that we know everything (we had no idea about existence of transient intermodulation until 70') certain things might be very difficult to measure. How do you propose to measure signal propagation speed in the cable or characte... | |
| Would vinyl even be invented today? That's right Scvan - He invited internet as a great invention, but people twisted his words.... :) | |
| XLR vs RCA Balanced cables offer better noise rejection, are locking and have pins protected from touching. On the other hand they require additional circuitry on both ends. I use balanced interconnect because my amplifier doesn't even have RCA input. | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Scvan, don't forget to measure amplifiers and speakers as well, because as we all know if things measure the same they have to sound the same and when they measure better they have to sound better :) | |
| How to protect my amp without changing the sound? Ssglx, was it by any chance Elite DMi? (or Elite 15i)Furman Elite 15 DMi or 15i don't have high current outputs and high current capability of Elite PFi. | |
| 192 from usb/spdif to NOS dac to amp Matt, the difference between traditional converter and sigma-delta is pretty much the same as the difference between CD and SACD. Instead of creating many discrete voltage levels, corresponding to input code, Sigma-Delta creates bitstream of varyi... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Al, link works if you remove last characters after "9".Their test proves what you just said - digital cable is not exactly symmetrical presenting slightly different characteristic impedance on both ends. This is very different from directional pro... | |
| How to protect my amp without changing the sound? Audiolabyrinth, I live in Chicago suburb. My part of the neighborhood has power lines underground. We have rarely any power disruption. | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Electric current is a very slow flow of charges, while energy flows fastI'm not sure where you got it. Electric current is a flow of charge. Charge moves in the wire in speed close to speed of light. It has nothing to do with slow motion of electr... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction As fate would have it the audio signal is not the current. The near light speed refers to the signal not current.Electric current is flow of electric charge, that moves near light speed in the wire. Electromagnetic wave on the outside of the cable... | |
| 192 from usb/spdif to NOS dac to amp If your D/A converter operates straight from 192kHz than it might get even worse since converter's THD is higher at 192kHz than 96kHz. My Benchmark DAC1 upsamples to very high frequency but then down-converts to drive DAC at only 110kHz (in spite ... |
