| 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... | |
| Ungrounded power cord: Will I die? Total number of people killed from home stereo, TV etc. is about 3 per year. www.cpsc.gov/library/shock95.pdfChance of 1 in 100 million is not big but remember that ones who died had most likely something wrong with the wiring or grounding. What p... | |

| What are the best interconnects. Try Acoustic Zen Absolute. I got 0.5m XLR used for $600 (had King Cobra 0.5m XLR before). | |
| Audio note Dac question Fc911c - it is NE5532. It was made by Signetics (Philips) until factory burned down in 2000/2001. Texas Instruments bought license, redesigned die (larger) and obtained fuller sound. Early Benchmarks, with Signetics chips, sounded a little thin. T... | |
| Biwire oval 9's, single Zen Satori - surprised Fz1jmp, I wasn't crazy about bananas that it came with (getting loose) but it wasn't perhaps factory termination (I bought it used). Sound-wise the best should be bare wires followed by spades and then bananas, but I couldn't hear any sonic improv... |
