| Help on Power conditioner Rabbani, it sounds like you have undervoltage problem. It should not destroy anything. If it doesn't affect the sound leave it alone. Still, voltage spike caused by lightning or nearby inductive loads (like motors) switching is always possible. I ... | |
| Help on Power conditioner All equipment designed to placed on European market since 1995 has to operate at 230V +/-10%. 180-190V is low but it should not damage anything. Why would you like to control fluctuations? Does it affect the sound? | |
| Are unequal length speaker cables really bad? Some people believe that there is nothing better for speaker cable than lamp cord, but if you believe that speaker cables affects the sound then sound change should be proportional to length of the cable. 1/4" would not make any difference, I'm su... | |
| Cause of different sound between dacs 1. Jitter2. Digital signal processing3. Analog circuitry (including power supply). | |
| How to protect turntable from children? MKsolid, Don't listen to Dekay. Locking children in bookcase is cruel and inhumane. Buy pair of handcuffs instead - it works really well. Seriously, the best way is to explain it to children. I showed my 3 year old daughter how to operate tape dec... | |
| What does capacitor endurance mean? This rating is at 105degC. Assuming your capacitor runs at slightly elevated temperature of 45degC it will last over 50 years (since life of capacitor doubles for every 10deg C temperature drop). At this time electrolyte will simply dry out causin... | |
| If you were setting up a music server today ... As I said before increasing amount of RAM or caching music to RAM is useless with Wi-Fi. It is because computer doesn't transfer music at all, but instead transfers data compressed in packets. Data does not have timing. Timing is recreated on the ... | |
| If you were setting up a music server today ... Wireless has many advantages. It keeps noisy computer electrically isolated and physically far from audio system. It also makes other factors like type of computer or playback program irrelevant. Instead of spending money on fast computers, a lot ... | |
| Basic Foobar Question Why to use Foobar? You send data to your AE in packets. Data has no timing (recreated by AE). Nothing on your computer side make difference (unless program does data processing - like upsampling).Standard AE has decent digital output (258ps jitter... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? I depends on implementation. Good SMPS will be superior to linear power supply. It will be quieter plus line and load regulated. Yes they are smaller and more effective but it is not the reason Jeff Rowland uses them in Capri Preamp. Linear power ... | |
| The title is:"There's No Such Thing As Digital..." Mapman, Your DAC is not only isolated from computer noise but also from all other nonsense like playback program, file format, computer speed, type of hard disk, amount of RAM etc.The only thing you could do is to insert reclocker before DAC. | |
| Power supply caps Don't forget to unplug and make sure capacitors are completely discharged before touching them. | |
| DIY Speaker wire Unfairlane, Tube amps present higher output impedance being power source vs voltage source that SS amps are. I was just trying to show that cable thickness is pretty much irrelevant because woofer choke has 5x higher resistance (not to mention imp... | |
| Tough decision, samsung Samsung PN65F8500 or If you plan to connect it to 2-channel DAC Panasonic outputs only DOLBY and it won't work. | |
| Power supply caps I replaced power supply caps in Cambridge Audio A3i amp a while ago. Theoretically it should not make any difference since amp was only few years old (unless Canadian dealer sold me very old amp in new box) but it had pronounced effect on the bass... |
