| Speaker cables of cooper, or silver :Pros/Cons Onemug, LOL | |
| Speaker cables of cooper, or silver :Pros/Cons Sunnyjim, my Acoustic Zen Satori speaker cables are copper but interconnects (AZ Absolute) are silver. AZ Robert Lee believes that silver should contain small amount of copper to add "body". Absolute ICs contain 1% of copper while AZ Silver Refere... | |
| Digital coaxial audio cable suggestions. Al is absolutely right stressing importance of keeping cables short. Non-magnetic shield does not stop EMI (for instance radio waves) but induced noise travels on the outside of the cable (shield) to ground because of the skin effect. Skin effect ... | |
| Digital coaxial audio cable suggestions. Mike60, Get 1.5m Reflections come from change in characteristic impedance that for higher frequencies can be defined as SQRT(L/C) and depends on geometry of the cable or connector (for given dielectric type). When you have absolutely perfect cable... | |
| Digital coaxial audio cable suggestions. Listen to Al. Either go very short to avoid reflections on impedance boundaries or go 1.5m with typical transport transition time that is about 25ns. Assuming threshold in the half of that reflection from the end of the cable (started by the begin... | |
| Fuses that matter. Knghifi, That's just what Bryon is saying. Boys must believe otherwise since they suggest he cannot hear what he hears in his system:"Hmmmm...one wonders if Bryon Cunningham installed some of the fuses incorrectly during his recent testing of afte... | |
| Sota sapphire question-power supply fuse rating? Yourmomm - It should be printed on the fuse end cap. "T" usually stands for slow reacting fuse. | |
| Bi-wire v's single with jumper leads. Thanks Al, it was 2AM - my brain does not work that late. | |
| Bi-wire v's single with jumper leads. Jkorten, It is not only resistance but also inductance. For instance inductance of 10ft 12 gauge wire (counting both ways) at 5kHz is 20x350nH=7uH resulting in reactance of 35mohm in addition to 32mohm resistance, resulting in impedance of Z=47mohm | |
| Wrao a toroidal transformer around power cord? In general, winding two wires in the same direction on toroidal core creates common mode choke. Noise/interference currents, same in both wires, induce magnetic fluxes that add together making high impedance (high inductance) for common mode noise... | |
| Diversity of opinion over what It's a matter of taste. Benchmark DAC1 in my system sounds very natural and transparent but to many it sounds sterile and analytical. Adding distortion or noise would likely make it sound more vivid same way distorted guitar appears more dynamic t... | |
| Fuses that matter. Credence?"Hmmmm...one wonders if Bryon Cunningham installed some of the fuses incorrectly during his recent testing of aftermarket fuses""I have lost faith in ANY tests of fuses unless the person performing the tests is already familiar with the d... | |
| Fuses that matter. Bryon, thanks for the info. Both were pretty much the same as stock fuses, per your test, so I checked only Supremes and could not find any safety approval. There are better returns for my money in audio, as Mapman suggested, since I'm not "there"... | |
| Fuses that matter. Rodman99999, Power supply is in the output stage to some degree. When power supply has no load regulation and amplifier has zero feedback then performance of the power supply (including inductance and ESR of big caps, resistance of the fuses etc.)... | |
| Noise/distortion coming out of speakers Rrog, you're right. I also found rotating pot a temporary remedy on my Benchmark DAC1 volume control. I used contact cleaner/fader lube and so far it is completely silent for three years. |
