| Bridged classe audio DR9 Isn't nominal impedance of your speakers 3 ohm? It will appear for each amp as 1.5ohm load assuming best case of flat impedance curve. It might trigger protection since your amp is rated at 2ohms minimum load. Better try if it works for one channe... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? It is a system thing. Cable that works perfect in one system might be bad in another. It comes to characteristic impedance matching and quality of the shielding. Characteristic impedance is affected not only by geometry of the cable but also mater... | |
| Further Isolation for Spike Cups I've tried Vibrapods under Studio/60 v2 and it improved mostly bass response making it more even/musical. Perhaps it was resonating with the floor. Studio 100 is most likely too heavy, unless you put whole array of them. Vibrapods made speaker a l... | |
| Long Speaker Cables/Short Interconnect or reverse Thanks Al, Looks like I had decimal point in wrong place. | |
| Long Speaker Cables/Short Interconnect or reverse Al, 0.15uH/ft seems high. Inductance of gauge 14 straight copper wire is about 0.036uH/ft. For silver it would be slightly less. Twist of two wires would lower it further. | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Mapman, I couldn't hear any difference between CDP (coax) and Airport Express (Toslink). I've never tried different brands but compared very short (<1') and 2m long generic coax (self made) and couldn't hear any difference.Now my CDP is a cheap... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Some people, convinced that digital cables cannot make any difference, claim that people who can have to be under influence of placebo effect. They don't realize that their strong conviction makes them unable to hear the difference because of nega... | |
| What is Musicality? If you read the original post, he wants to know what makes a system good!OP stated that: "Appreciating good music is not only a matter of how good your equipment is. It is a measure of how musical a person you are." He was not asking about good eq... | |
| Asynchronous USB DAC and USB cable quality As I understand it, asynchronous USB uses internal DAC's clock for the D/A converter. This clock is independent (asynchronous) to USB data rate. For that reason data has to be buffered. DAC has to request different number of samples each frame to ... | |
| Best HD for music storage/backup. Mesch, I use Firewire since it is native to Mac, places lower load on main processor and has nice daisy chaining, but for compatibility reason USB might be better. I have three identical drives (two backups). One backup in storage at home and one ... | |
| Best HD for music storage/backup. Carbon Copy Cloner (free) with 1TB Fantom GF1000T Firewire drive. | |
| How to improve power supply? Use toroidal transformers - very small magnetic field outside. | |
| Squeezebox+Power Supply+Reclocker or??? Audiojedi, You're not, if you like your DAC. Jitter is the only thing that affects the sound on digital side (assuming unprocessed, bit perfect files). Empirical Audio also makes reclocker but I don't know how it compares with W4S. I would use coa... | |
| Sound quality of shared iTunes library wireless Why would Apple TV at 48 kHZ be inferior to Airport Express at what seems to be a slightly lower rate?Because there is some loss of quality on 44.1kHz to 48kHz conversion.Karavite, If data is identical then the only thing that change sound is timi... | |
| Voice and instrument image bunched in the middle?? Pc123v, My 938s are standing on standard factory brass pins. Image depends on the record played. On some CDs it is narrow but on the others image goes outside of speakers. On average it stretches almost tweeter to tweeter. They are pointing at cen... |
