| Need computer audio advice. Doggiehowser, My Benchmark DAC1 does reclocking internally and have pretty good jitter suppression (very clean sound), but according to Steve external reclocker does even better job. I have to try one someday. | |
| Need computer audio advice. Matt, when you use network you send data and not the music. The difference is that data has no timing - timing is recreated on the other side of network bridge. Your file format, amount of memory, type of HD, speed of computer, playback program et... | |
| RCA to XLR adapter vs buy a balanced cable It might be debatable if XLR sounds better than RCA (requires additional circuitry to make it balanced), but having choice between RCA+adapter or XLR I would choose XLR for it's superior noise rejection (assuming the same cost). | |
| The End Of Out-Of-Print Music At the very beginning of CD analog many tapes were digitized with less than perfect A/D conversion resulting in noisy and often harsh recordings. The only remedy is to digitize it again if analog tapes still exist. | |
| The End Of Out-Of-Print Music I suspect that cost of CD has very little to do with cost of printing or distribution. It is most likely based on demand and price manipulation. Printing CD is perhaps $1 while royalties to artist are not more than that. Double that for distributi... | |
| Are HDMI cables hot swapable? HDMI specifications include "Hot Swap". Argument that swapping anything hot is taking a risk doesn't really make sense. If it is designed to be hot swappable then it is (like USB devices). | |
| Digital Audio Out Audiophile Newbie pt. 3 It is system dependent. In some cases optical (Toslink) can be better. Coax should be either very short (less then 1ft) or at least 1.5m | |
| NAS Question Both, mirroring and stripping have the same problem - controller going bad (or virus) can kill both disks. Raid 0 (stripping) has additional problem. When one disk goes bad the other is automatically lost. Stripping is used for speed - not needed ... | |
| Visa Tranaction Suspended for Unusual Activity American Express is not blocking my large transactions but rather sends me warning email. Recently I purchased Furnace, AC etc for $11k - no problem, only warning message. American Express is also better than Citibank Visa in foreign travel. Visa ... | |
| convert WAV to MP3 on MAC MAX converts any format to any format. | |
| XLR or RCA? Noise gets in by direct capacitive coupling or electromagnetic pickup. In case of capacitive coupling shield can be very effective. Electromagnetic pickup is a little more complex. Shield is made of aluminum or copper - a non magnetic material and... | |

| Change a 2 channel amp to a mono block amp It might be possible (if each output isn't already in bridge configuration) by shorting grounds together and connecting speaker between outputs. Input to one of the amp has to be inverted. This will get you 800W but as Mofimadness suggested it is ... | |
| XLR or RCA? Other than locking, XLR does not have exposed pins (input side is always female). Touching end of RCA cable going to power amp can damage speakers. Power should be turned off, but mistakes happen, especially when people (audiophiles) keep plugging... |
