| Don't read you'll be sorry Tycobb, Everybody says stock jumpers (plates) are horrible. I use biwired (shotgun) cables but still need jumpers between tweeter and midrange in my 3 way speakers. I use Audioquest jumpers. They come silver or gold plated. http://www.amazon.com/S... | |
| EL34 tube monoblocks that doubles power at 4 ohms 2x power is only 1.2x louder. | |
| "Brand New"...I don't think so I bought once "Brand New in a Box" GPS on Ebay. Box was torn in many places and scotch-taped. Receiver was dead. Seller told me that it is in fact new and it is in the box. He never claimed that it works (he has no way of knowing) or that box is n... | |
| Optimum compressed file for ipod/iphone? You most likely need lossy compression to limit file size. Aple AAC 256kbps (stereo) with variable bit rate (VBR) would give you results very close to original and much better than MP3 of the same size. You can use many programs to convert - I use... | |
| The color of audio and ambassadorship It is not what you need to enjoy particular type of music but rather person's state of mind. My late relative loved classical music and had a lot of LPs but his system was equivalent to very bad transistor radio. He couldn't hear 50% of instrument... | |
| Thoughts and Ideas on Battery Powered Amplifiers? Analog_source, problem with most of amplifiers is that its linear power supply is unregulated and it is AC only. Switching power supplies on the other hand are load and line regulated and often work on DC voltage. Some are better some are worse. C... | |
| How to avoid being scammed? Marakanetz, That's true it is revealing bank account but so is every check you use to pay for anything, since it is printed on it. In addition bank would never transfer money from your account without authorization but if they do you are off the h... | |
| Are my CAT5 and router my weak link? ???=less digital cable and system noise since they both produce jitter. Also less analog cables pickup. One thing to remember is that speed of Ethernet cable directly doesn't effect anything since data has no timing. Effect is indirect by radiatin... | |
| Blackness - how quiet does it need to be? Many recordings were made with pre-emphasis to greatly reduce tape noise in playback. CDP or DAC has processor for it (de-emphasis) and every CD has bit switching it on or off in CDP or DAC. Today almost all recordings are digital and pre-emphasis... | |
| Blackness - how quiet does it need to be? Bryon, Jitter modulation produces all sorts of garbage across all frequencies raising noise floor. Normally you would not be able to hear it as a hiss because it would be covered/masked by loud signals and not audible during gaps or soft passages.... | |
| Blackness - how quiet does it need to be? Last_Lemming I'm hesitating if I should even start since Al can explain it much better and more coherent way. If he does follow his explanation. In both cases, digital and analog, we're talking about modulation that creates new frequencies.Two fre... | |

| Don't read you'll be sorry Peter, why you compare it to Viper? Viper uses foam Polyethylene and should measure infinity. Carbon loaded Polyethylene should measure within 1Mohm. This is second clue in addition to silver plating that shouldn't be there. | |
| Blackness - how quiet does it need to be? Csontos - CDP is also an equipment and can be very noisy when playing but quiet when not. That way noise is undetectable without music (proportional to volume). In addition amplifier might create noise of its own by intermodulation etc. (speakers ... | |
| Don't read you'll be sorry "could it be that this wire was a test run of wire that never made it to market, the "Rockefeller 3"It could also be any cheap wire with Rockefeller printed on the outside. Original Rockefeller uses partially conductive Polyethylene insulation on ... |
