| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please T-304 won't shield against low frequency magnetic field. It might protect against it if you build Faraday Cage but even then it is very limited. I'm no expert on Faraday Cage but as far as I remember it is used mostly as electrostatic shield. It w... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please "I've been reading that copper is effective at shielding high frequency RFI, but not particularly effective at shielding low frequency EMI"It is because copper, being non-magnetic, does not shield against electromagnetic wave. In cable this electr... | |
| Please help me understand "quite possible that the human ear might be on some level analyzing things that are either yet to be identified and labeled"Transient Intermodulation, unknown until 70s, comes to mind. Early SS amps sounded very bright because of overuse of negati... | |
| Please help me understand "Dogs don't listen to loud rock music"Sure they do, they listen to owners loud music. They also bark - a very loud noise. Everybody looses hearing with age - man or a dog. Prolonged loud noise can only make it worse. | |
| Please help me understand "Just food for thought, your family pet 'hears' more"Man: 20Hz-20kHzDog: 40Hz-40kHz Same number of octaves (10) | |
| Please help me understand Danoroo,Music is just much more complex than any test while warm or bright is just different types of distortion. Why do you think amps should sound the same? What is to my liking is not necessarily your cup of tea. I like neutral sound while you ... | |
| Power standby effects on amp's aging and sound Capacitor life is function of ambient temperature. Each 10 deg C temp increase cuts life of capacitor by half. It is shown in many studies and published by pretty much all capacitor manufacturers. You can also find here: http://www.niccomp.com/hel... | |

| anyone here experience with Jeff Rowland Model 102 Spkrplus,I ended-up with Hyperions HPS-938 (6 month dealer demo for $3K). Amazing speakers from less than amazing company (if they still exist). Combination of revealing Benchmark DAC1 with Rowland 102 driving Paradigm Studio/60 (metal dome tweete... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Lvhjr1, Optical cables don't have problem of jitter cause by reflections on impedance boundaries but rather from jitter being result of system noise affecting slow transitions (inherent to low slew rate of transmitters). Noise also affects transit... | |
| Benchmark DAC-1 Get The Most Out Of Your DAC-1 Ninjasquirt, According to Benchmark, signal path (calibrated or variable) is the same (two parallel circuits) on basic DAC1. USB version might be different. | |
| Ungrounded power cord: Will I die? Their logic is a little fuzzy. They recommend to avoid disconnecting ground pin unless absolutely necessary and in next sentence they say removing this pin is dangerous? Maybe it is only 80% dangerous or perhaps it is dangerous on even Tuesdays an... | |
| Ungrounded power cord: Will I die? Stanwal - I don't know about PS Audio but suspect that they design their units such way that it doesn't need grounding (class II) but ground is still provided to reduce noise pickup. I suspect that it is the same principle with ground lift - other... | |
| Ungrounded power cord: Will I die? ILLOGICAL PEOPLE DIE FIRST. I cannot control cancer or nuclear attack but can greatly lower chances of being electrocuted by not playing in the park during thunderstorms or cutting ground from my electrical equipment that was designed with this gr... | |
| Ungrounded power cord: Will I die? Herman, I'm not sure of that. Chances of being struck by lightning are pretty similar 1 in 1 million but people still take safety precautions, golf courses are being evacuated, sport events outside suspended etc. Again - chance of one in 1 million... |
