| 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 ... | |
| Acou Zen vs Anaysis Plus vs Cardas Clear Sp. Cable Gelaw, read this thread:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?fcabl&1239238185&read&keyw&zzsatori+oval+9 | |
| 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... | |
| 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... |
