| Hi Res ripping software for Mac ? I use MAX (free) with option "do not allow to skip". It rips to any format and translates from any format to any format. I use Apple Lossless ALAC and Itunes. Itunes work quite well in Mac and poorly with PC - at least that's what I've heard. MAX ... | |
| 46" Plasma or LCD with the best picture. Be careful with Panasonic since it might not work with two channel DAC. Panasonics outputs on optical Toslink output DOLBY with Dolby material and PCM with NTSC automatically (no option in the menu). Sony AFAIK outputs only PCM (people complained)... | |

| Can a variac be used to maintain constant voltage? That would be good application. They also bring supply voltage to regulation range of electronics in case of wide variations (constantly too low or too high). | |
| Can a variac be used to maintain constant voltage? There are also Constant Voltage Transformers based on transformer saturation effect http://www.lenco-elect.com/constant_voltage.htmThe problem with them is poor efficiency and often some distortions of the sinewave.Even if your voltage changes by ... | |
| Amplifier power versus maximum speaker input power Somut, RMS power delivered to speaker is very low (in order of few percent of peak power)*. Your speakers rated for 100W RMS should easily take many times higher peaks. Weak amplifier (without soft clipping) can easily damage tweeters because clip... | |
| Stupid speaker test question...please help a n00b "I have to say I find this field of 'hi-fi' quite frustrating"You're not alone. We are here to learn. | |
| tripath topology amplifier=SET? Tripath is a variation on class D amplifier where name comes from Tripath Amplifier Technologies (that went bankrupt few years ago).SET = Single-Ended Triode amplifier a tube amplifier with only one (in opposition to push-pull) output tube operati... | |
| Stupid speaker test question...please help a n00b Spartanmorning, One reason is that few manufacturers who use more expensive underhanged speakers would have clear advantage. No incentive for everybody else who is using overhang drivers to publish distortion. The other reason is that speaker dist... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please Bryoncunningham, Jitter creates sidebands to root frequency (like any modulation) at very low levels. In spite of low levels it is very audible because it is not harmonically related to root frequency. With music (many frequencies) it is basically... | |
| 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) |
