| Power Cord for Power Conditioner Grant - Let me add that these narrow spikes have width (conduction angle) and therefore peak amplitude dependent on impedance of power transformer and ESR of capacitors (Schaffer's diagrams). Often with huge banks of capacitors in parallel (very l... | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner Well, lets look Rwwear - original poster asked if different power cable can be used and while he was offered by Elizabeth viable alternative of very good and inexpensive Pangea you had to jump in to express your disbelief, as you always do, even i... | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner Didn't you talk about religion and preachers just a moment ago? | |
| SS amps with little or NO feedback Al - Fully balanced design has very high CMRR but I wouldn't care about small amount of sweet sounding second harmonic. I would be more concerned with unpleasant odd harmonics created by negative feedback. | |
| Is a DAC Worth It With Airport Express Cg27288 - I use AE with Benchmark DAC1 driving directly power amp. You might encounter few problems:- digital output on AE is cleaner (only 250ps jitter) than analog output but Toslink might introduce some jitter (that Benchmark DAC1 suppose to su... | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner Isn't it a little silly to post messages against cables on CABLE FORUM? I don't care much for Vinyl but I don't post messages against it on ANALOG FORUM. That would be arrogant and rude.I also don't believe in CD tweaks but I don't post against it... | |
| SS amps with little or NO feedback Magfan - Global feedback is OK as long as it is applied properly. The key is to get improvements in THD, IMD and DF but not introduce TIM. It can be done by using shallow feedback just to reduce THD to about 0.1% and then limit bandwidth at the in... | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner "The more the myth spreads the more the preachers make." - but people are happy. I didn't realize how much our senses depend on our thoughts until I learned that one cannot tickle himself just because he knows who is doing that.Hearing better beca... | |
| W4S DAC2 vs Benchmark DAC1 my observation I've never tried Wyred 4S but have Benchmark DAC1 for a while. It can be bright, being neutral sounding, with certain speakers as it was with my previous Paradigm studio/60 that had metal dome tweeter. With Hyperion HPS-938 it is just perfect - ne... | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner "Be aware of the man in the white lab coat, be very aware."Agree. Often amps with the best specifications sound the worse. Deniers demand proof (scientific or blind test) but what they fail to understand is that it doesn't matter. If it is soundin... | |
| Benchmark dac - why such diverging opinions? Yingtonggao - I found most vivid and detailed sound at 0dB jumper position. It is the same finding as in the following review: http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue26/benchmark_dac1.htmI use volume control directly driving power amp from XLR outp... | |
| Benchmark DAC-1 Get The Most Out Of Your DAC-1 Yingtonggao - My Benchmark does not have any jumpers close to headphones jacks. Are we talking plain DAC1? | |
| Noise, hum and AC polarity Sean,Disconnecting ground (third prong) is very dangerous since device was designed to operate with ground present (different design). Reversing HOT and NEUTRAL when unit is not designed for that is also dangerous. It might also, in case of failur... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Marc258 - I wonder if you read anything on this thread before posting. Toslink is not superior. Toslink is not more expensive. All is system dependent. | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... Mapman - second generation of REF1000 not only have huge bank of additional capacitors but also converts huge narrow spikes of current to more of resistive load. Was it worth extra price? I'm sure it was. Any small improvement at this point costs ... |
