| 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... | |
| pure silver speaker wire This would be an overkill. 10 feet of such cable would have resistance of 12mohms (6mohms each way) while inductor in series with the woofer has most likely 100mohms (limiting DF to 80). 500 strands might be bad since it does not help skin effect ... | |
| FURMAN ELITE 15PFI AND ELITE 20PFI Current reserve (peak current) is 55A vs. 45A. Your amp takes current from the mains in form of current spikes that have much higher amplitude than average current. It is difficult to say if you need 55A or 45A reserve. I got 20PFI used (almost ne... | |
| Cable Upgrade: Too much transparency Hugo1, I had Diamondbacks (called Viper before) a while ago followed by King Cobra (called Python before) to end-up with Acoustic Zen Absolute. King Cobra has similar to Diamondback neutral sound but is more refined and doesn't cost much more. By ... | |

| Airport Express clicking sound I had dropouts from time to time on Airport Express digital outs but it stopped after I installed stronger 802.11 transmitter (USB adapter) setting it to transmit on 2.4GHz and 5GHz simultaneously (AE listens on both by default). I don't know if A... |
