| 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 ... | |
| Blackness - how quiet does it need to be? Jitter in playback of digital source is basically noise proportional to amplitude of the signal and not detectable without signal. | |
| Don't read you'll be sorry "If it is indeed Rockefeller, it's still a huge bargain at the price, right?"Not really. This "factory" most likely makes whole line of fake cables including fake Rockefeller. | |
| Don't read you'll be sorry On Audioquest website there is theory-education sub-section "Do No Harm". Audioquest explains that silver plated copper is used mostly at high frequency video or digital applications but they use it for subwoofer cables. It sounds like PSS is pure... | |
| Don't read you'll be sorry Silver coated copper is not uncommon. For instance DH Labs Q10 (my brother cables) use high quality copper silver coated:http://www.silversonic.com/docs/products/Q10.html | |
| Are my CAT5 and router my weak link? Al, Thank you. I often tend to think in absolute terms while boundaries in reality are not that sharp. Tubeking sugested that shielding might compromise twist density making it worse instead of better. It is easy enough to compare since Ethernet c... |
