| Don't read you'll be sorry Marakanetz, Perhaps AQ cares if design is stolen. I'm not sure what provider means. I don't believe AQ sells original cables with 95% discount. It is like with bootleg DVDs, I wouldn't buy it but many people do. | |
| SB Touch to Metrum Octave: toslink, coax RCA, BNC? It wasn't Octave, just short coax between CDP and DAC without changing female socket. I used Canare coax and connectors but there is a lot of different choices. Quality of shielding is extremely important. Buy or build either very short <12" or... | |
| Don't read you'll be sorry Audioquest manufactures cables in China for a long time (10 years?). They moved production there, cut prices and changed names of the cables to stay competitive. Python IC, for instance, became King Cobra (half of the price). I suspect that big po... | |
| SB Touch to Metrum Octave: toslink, coax RCA, BNC? I used Canare 75ohm RCA plugs. | |
| Another cheater plug thread Elizabeth, Plane crashing or bus driving into your home does not depend on you and is therefore not worth discussing. Driving without seat-belts or good brakes is dangerous no matter how small chance of accident is. Similarly, leaving one metal ca... | |

| Don't read you'll be sorry Original Audioqeuest K2s are fine cables, I'm sure, but reading 210 reviews at: http://www.amazon.com/AudioQuest-K2-terminated-speaker-cable/product-reviews/B000J36XR2/ref=cm_cr_dp_see_all_btm?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=bySubmissionDa... | |
| SB Touch to Metrum Octave: toslink, coax RCA, BNC? There are 75ohm RCA plugs. Good coax should be better than glass Toslink but I'm sure you'll find people with exactly opposite experience. It is system dependent. Coax is sensitive to impedance mismatch and ambient electrical noise. Toslink does n... | |
| File format, software and settings? Mike, When you use network (wireless or not) music is delivered in packets without timing and timing is recreated by network device. Computer type or speed, amount of memory, program used for playback, type of hard disk, storage format etc. don't ... | |
| Determining exact power being sent to your speaker Vineman55, average music power delivered to speakers is only few percent of peak power (unless you listen to sinewaves) It is because average loudness you listen to (half of peak loudness) requires only 1/10 of peak power. In addition music has ga... | |
| fiber optic/toslink cable recommendation The one that Elizabeth is thinking of (and I use) is perhaps this: http://www.uniqueproductsonline.com/6ftgltodiauc.htmlThey have different sizes from 3-35ft. High quality, 280 strands of glass, very inexpensive. | |
| Jeff Rowland tour fascinates 27 years of building superb amplifiers in Colorado. I enjoy the smallest of his creations Model 102 dreaming about Model 625 in the future. I've also heard that he is a classy guy. | |
| Lossless Files Vs CD's "in the direction that is followed by the spiral track"Al, that's what I meant by "along the disk". I'm still amazed that it works that well. Once external DAC is involved the choice of transports opens to DVD or Bluray players that have very good... | |
| Lossless Files Vs CD's >2.5mm scratches along the disk are very likely causing interpolation of data. Scratches longer than 8.5mm (12000 bits) would result in clicks. I'm not sure how audible is the difference between brand new CD and server, but data stored on the s... | |
| Why are so many albums poorly remastered onto cd Music is compressed for a reason. Grand piano, for instance, has dynamics close to 100dB impossible to reproduce on typical low cost system or boombox (not to mention whole symphony orchestra). CD mastering is targeted for average buyer. Audiophil... |
