| The Plasmatron - more linear output voltage Negative differential resistance would be the better term, since it has to have some resistance in order to produce negative resistance change. Fluorescent tubes are also a negative resistance devices. I cannot see how this device would help with ... | |
| Will the sound quality deminish over the years? I'm not sure about tweeters in my Hyperions HPS-938 but midrange uses ferrofluid for suspension. Ferrofluid dries over time and has to be replaced but I don't know if it is 10-20 or 30-40 years. Also, some speakers have electrolytic caps in xover ... | |
| Grounding Concrete is poor conductor, especially when it is dry. | |
| Best cables to utilize Dac in Hegel 80 It is hard to answer since it is always a system thing. Coax should be better but is sensitive to ambient noise and affected by transmission line effects (reflections in the cable). Toslink is immune to ambient noise and reflections but might suff... | |
| My wife passed yesterday Chayro, I'm very sorry for your loss. | |
| Sweet spot in the AudioQuest line of cables King Cobra was very neutral sounding in my system. It used to be more expensive under name "Python" until AQ moved production to China, renamed cables and lowered prices to stay competitive. My current ICs Acoustic Zen Absolute are little more ref... | |
| Are HDMI cables hot swapable? Voltage is present in both interfaces and both are defined as hot swappable - that's why many attempt this "risky move"SATA, Firewire, Ethernet are all hot swappable. If anything HDMI is designed better than USB, since it has separate pin #19 "Hot... | |
| Are HDMI cables hot swapable? I don't know why someone would even try such a risky move. Runnin, because it supposed to be hot swappable. Do you turn your computer off before plugging or unplugging USB devices like mouse or flash drive? | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? I second Mapman's recommendation of network streaming. Computer speed, amount of RAM, playback program, file format etc. make no difference since timing is recreated on the other side of the bridge (saves a lot of money). Sound still can be affect... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Knownothing, Imagine that you play clean 1kHz sinewave but digital stream jiters in time back and forth at 60Hz. It will result on analog side in expected 1kHz signal and two other signals (sidebands) at 940Hz and 1060Hz. Their amplitude will depe... | |
| 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. |
