| Regular interconnect or digital? @jasonbourne52 I just looked at Monoprice cables - seems like solid choice - inexpensive and well shielded. | |
| Regular interconnect or digital? @boxcarman Not 1m, but 1.5-2m. Start of transition at the source creates possible reflection at the end of the cable (slight impedance mismatch) that comes back and adds to the this edge changing its shape. In order to miss threshold point ... | |
| Regular interconnect or digital? Cable carrying digital signals has to have characteristic impedance matched to source output impedance and DACs input impedance (all three the same), otherwise there will be possible reflections on impedance boundaries. Such reflection can produc... | |
| S/N ratio Balanced input vs. Unbalanced input If you hear noise with ear on the tweeter it is normal. With my limited experience only some amps are completely noiseless. Can you hear it from distance of 1m? | |
| 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. | |
| What glue for tweeter and mid diaphragm replacement https://www.parts-express.com/Black-Rubber-Cement-Speaker-Repair-Glue-1-oz.-Bottle-340-078 | |
| 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. | |

| 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... |
