| S/N ratio Balanced input vs. Unbalanced input I am confused as well. Balanced input suppresses common mode noise, but S/N measurements were taken with inputs shorted. I don't see any reason why balanced should be worse, assuming similar input level. | |
| S/N ratio Balanced input vs. Unbalanced input It has to be typo. On page 5 of their technical paper they show 107dB for BAL-CD input. | |

| WTH TAS?! @jw944ts Agree, but it is not the case here. It is not required from art critics in photography to know equipment, but I expect extensive technical knowledge from the people who review cameras. | |
| Free old Paradigm Reference Studio60 v2 in Chicago area. @cfcook76 I think I found you and left you a message. | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? @jea48 You are right - there will be no current thru rectifiers until capacitor voltage will drop below rectifier supplied peak voltage. Theoretically it is possible to build LPS where capacitors keep average instead of peak voltage, but it req... | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? 2x200W amp might take from mains close to 1kW during peaks. The problem is that peak supply current won’t be expected 8A, but rather close to 40A. It is because current is drawn only for very short time (millisecond pulse) at the peak of full wave... | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media Term "Streaming" used to be dedicated to music you don't own. I use computer as server for the the music playback. IMHO it can sound better than CD/Transport. Transports operate in real time being able to read particular sector only once and in ... | |
| How does cable construction affect sonic character? It all comes to quality of electrons. With music AC signal they simply eagerly oscillate, as Rodman99999 stated. Unfortunately with a little bit of DC present, they slowly drift toward the end of the cable (drift velocity) and "poof" they are gone... | |
| High current power cables More space between the conductors (Live, Neutral and ground) the lower the noise floor Radiated or induced electrical noise is proportional to area between wires, To lower electrical noise pickup Live and Neutral should be as close as possible... | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? I like idea of separates for few reasons - it is easier and cheaper to upgrade just one component - it is easier to repair one component. - In case of damage beyond repair no need to replace everything - Separate preamp or DAC allows to move signa... | |
| Is it me, or others? He was likely confused with word "Tuner". Many years ago I was planning to air travel with "Infrared Head". It was basically large metal cylinder with lens on one side and "+, -" connectors on the other. It is used to measure objects temperatur... | |
| whole house surge protector The issue might be inductive reactance. Inductance is likely in order of 300nH/ft. It is not a lot but even the smallest reactance with thousands of amperes clamped (my Boltshields are rated 60kA each) will produce big voltage drop. Sensitive c... | |
| whole house surge protector I installed in Siemens electrical panel two Siemens 60kA BoltShield protectors. They are in the form of dual circuit breaker and just plug-in into empty spaces in the panel. You can as well install Siemens FS140 that will work with any panel. ... | |
| Will I benefit from a subwoofer with 20Hz speakers? Assuming 18ft between front and back wall your room will amplify 1125/36=31.25Hz and multiples (62.5Hz, 93.75, 125Hz etc.). 31.25Hz is alway welcome, but multiples require room treatments. |
