| Replace Silver interconnect cable , please advice Something else is wrong. Your Acoustic Zen Silver Reference II has 97% of silver and 3% of copper. I use Acoustic Zen Absolute that has only 1% of copper and have plenty of bass and amazing soundstage. Check cables with ohmmeter as Al advised. | |
| How do I connect Benchmark DAC You need 75ohm digital coax RCA-to-BNC cable like this:www.amazonThis cable should be either very short (< 1ft) or at least 1.5m (there are technical reasons for that). Select coax switch position on the front panel of DAC1.Benchmark DAC1 has t... | |
| Benchmark DAC1 Connecting and cables You need 75ohm digital coax RCA-to-BNC cable like this:http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Wholesale-75ohm-RG59U-Coaxial/dp/B000I94HTI/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1382544679&sr=8-10&keywords=75+ohm+coax+cable+rca+bncThis cable should be either ver... | |
| What is my next step? If you think about getting DAC be sure that it accepts Dolby since Panasonics output only Dolby (no menu choice PCM-Dolby). | |
| Maxell or TDK? Bias is HF signal above audio band (usually 50-100kHz) used to reduce distortions of the tape. Too much bias on the other hand causes drop in high frequency response. High frequency content in music also plays role of a bias and by controlling tot... | |
| Is jitter an issue? Streaming to ntwkd receiver. If you transfer audio over Ethernet then you really transfer data and jitter doesn't apply since data doesn't have time base. Playback program doesn't matter unless it has some kind of processing in it (like upsampling). Jitter is promptly recreat... | |
| Do I esentially have a class A amp? I don't design audio but it would be quite easy to design an amp that would measure THD=0.001% IMD=0.001% BW=500kHz and DF=1000 with absolutely horrible sound. I suspect that if you find amp like that (plenty of them in 70s) IT WILL have horrible ... | |
| The Worst Performance Ever - Really It is pretty bad, but remember that "beauty is in the eye of beerholder" | |
| Do I esentially have a class A amp? Charles1dad, Thank you. Atmasphere mentioned negative effects of NFB many times. I still believe that shallow NFB can be used but design has to start with good circuit and quality components. The best is perhaps not to even think of it and just to... | |
| Do I esentially have a class A amp? NFB lowers output impedance. If amp has 10x higher gain before applying of NFB then feedback will lower output impedance tenfold. We call it 20dB feedback. As a result deep NFB some amplifiers end up with output impedance of single milliohms. Ther... | |
| Do I esentially have a class A amp? Runnin, 250W would be nice if you can get it for the same price as 100W but if it is more money than perhaps getting better 100W (better design, better components) would bring more satisfying sound.Bifwynne, Local feedbacks are better. Even emitte... | |
| Do I esentially have a class A amp? 35W won't tear the walls but don't forget that 350W (that tears the wall) is only 2x louder. Also 3dB more sensitive speakers will give you same as doubling the amp power. So, how your 35W amp compares with good 140W amp driving 3dB less efficient... | |
| Do I esentially have a class A amp? Digepix, I understand that you consider class A better sounding, otherwise you wouldn't care. It should be better sounding if it is designed that way. Class AB has to use more of negative feedback to counteract nonlinear operation of output transi... | |
| Want to replace my speaker cables I use Acoustic Zen Satori. I considered Analysis Plus Oval 9 but few people found it bass heavy. Satori is very good and not that expensive. I bought it for my class D amp to add a little weight/fullness to lower midrange but was very surprised ho... | |
| CD Tweeks...Improve Ripped SQ? I disagree completely as well. CDP cannot, playing in real time, reread sector with wrong checksum. When it happens it corrects errors on small scratches (roughly up to 4mm along), interpolates data for medium scratches (4-8mm) and loses data (pop... |
