| What Does Holographic Sound Like? The controversial: Some folks claim that longer power cables can result in better SQ. The explanation typically offered attributes the improvement to reduced "reflections." That may be nonsenseIt is nonsense for audio cables. I'm not sure about po... | |
| Digital Coax to XLR adapters? I used this transformer and it works (with Benchmark DAC1). Be careful with the 6MHz Canare transformer bandwidth since protocol requires always 64 bits per sample (32bit per each channel)44.1kHz x 64bit=2.82MHz OK96kHz x 64bit=6.1MHz OK192kHz x 6... | |
| Curtains to control high frequency Absorption panel it is not. Whatever you hear thru the curtain held in front of you will reflect from the glass. Curtains should help at high frequencies but you might think of some fiberglass absorption panels. I'm putting twelve 2'x4'x2" high de... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? "I agree with Al that shorter cables are not always better"He mentioned exception of digital cables related to timing of the reflections, but shorter analog cables should always be better. I've never heard of anybody claiming improvement with long... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? "It is the energy flow via the electrons that creates the audio signal. While the actual speed of the electrons themselves is slow and their movement is characterized by more than one form of movement, the sound we hear actually travels very fast ... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Drift velocity with audio cables constantly changes direction since audio cable carry AC current making them "vibrate". At higher frequencies they practically stand still. | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Al,Correlation is weakened by the fact that people often try more expensive cable from the wrong family or their systems have poor transparency. Cardas cables, for instance, are praised by many for the warmth, while Nordost cables bring speed and ... | |
| PreAmp Gain and Impact on Amp 4PM seems far but it is OK if you don't have much softer recorded CDs. I have level control jumpers on my Benchmark DAC1 in -10dB increments (0dB, -10dB, -20dB, -30dB). I found that 0dB (loudest) position gives me the best sound (vivid). I normall... | |
| PreAmp Gain and Impact on Amp You should have full power on average at about 1 o'clock position to leave reserves of gain for soft sources or soft recorded CDs. | |
| FLAC or AIFF? your choice for importing to Itunes. It depends what you're going to do with it. If you send it wireless or to network Bridge/DAC then it doesn't matter (as long as playback program recognizes format). In case of Itunes+Airport Express, for instance, it is even better to keep it ALAC... | |
| Over 55? - You Gotta See This It won't happen to me, knock on the wood. Oh, somebody is knocking at the door, I have to go.... | |
| Delay Playing Music Over Wireless I noticed your post now but you might be still looking for an answer. The reason is lack of clock between tracks. Music is transmitted as data with no clock and clock has to be recreated. Some DACs like my Benchmark DAC1 can sync quickly but other... | |
| Is there a service to install CDs in a Server? Grimace, It is a tedious job but it is better to rip what you want to listen to at given moment and ignore the rest. That way CDs you play most often will be already available on the server. Eventually you'll get all of them without unnecessary st... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? 2x shorter cable is 2x better cable. | |
| Impedance Mismatch ??? Viridian, thanks for the link - very interesting. Current loops like 4-20mA became at one point industry standard for their inherent immunity to noise or resistance of the cable especially on very long runs. Current source has very high output imp... |
