| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Learsfool,IMHO people object to digital playback and not the recording itself. Most of the LP material comes from digital masters but very few object to that. Perhaps the real problem is in the playback where in redbook CD (16/44.1) higher frequen... | |
| Benchmark DAC-1 Get The Most Out Of Your DAC-1 Yingtonggao - Benchmark DAC1 had two problems at the very beginning:- thin sounding Signetics/Philips NE5532 OpAmps- high output impedance on unbalanced (RCA) out.Texas Instruments bought NE5532 license, after Philips factory burned down in 2000/2... | |
| Ceiling tiles using rigid fiberglass Cathode, I'm making twelve 2'x4' 2" panels using Johns Manville 817 rigid fiberglass panels http://www.jm.com/insulation/performance_materials/products/ci9_800series_spin-glas.pdfI considered Corning 705 but sound absorption coefficient at 125Hz i... | |
| Squeezebox Touch: jitter thru wi-fi? The worse case for two channel spdif is 24bit at 192kHz. 24 bit data is transferred in 32bit packets (8 bit preamble).32bit x 2channels x 192kHz = 12.3Mbps802.11g runs at up to 54Mbps while 802.11n more than doubles it. | |
| Proper use volume control? "Turn clockwise and volume increases. Turn counter-clockwise and the volume decreases."Audiofeil - It doesn't work. I turned and turned, clockwise and counter-clockwise but volume stayed the same. | |
| Squeezebox Touch: jitter thru wi-fi? Mapman, that might be true but it has nothing to do with resolution of the system mentioned in the statement. | |
| Can temperature fluctuations affect audio gear? Paulsax, Yes there is a lot of approximation. Junction to ambient temp. coefficient often assumes certain size of heatsink on vertical PC board center located in 1 cubic foot of enclosed space. It never happens so designer has to approximate a lot... | |
| balanced vs. unbalanced sound quality Nineballg - I use 0.5m balanced with class D amp. Balanced cables have locking connectors. In addition they use male/female connectors preventing accidental touching of the input (exposed input always female). | |
| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? "I have bad back ... the love of my life ... a bitch to lift 240 lb speaker"Dracule1, I'm speechless. | |
| Proper use volume control? "We've already lost tone and balance controls"There is no need for volume control - just sit closer or further away from the speakers. Move your chair sideways to adjust balance. | |
| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? Lrsky, They sound the same and have the same amount of letters making choice very difficult - otherwise always choose a shorter one. For instance write: nun instead of noun or none nose instead of knowsby instead of buy or byebe instead of beesite... | |
| Squeezebox Touch: jitter thru wi-fi? Mapman, I have dropouts sometimes (once a week) - much better now since I found microwave oven frequency in its manual and changed wireless channel away from it. Ideal would be to switch to 802.11n (5GHz) but my MacMini doesn't support it. | |
| What's more important, watts or capacitance? I agree - It is much more complicated than amount of caps and the size of transformer. Power supply capacitors are in the signal path (circuit closes thru them) and their inductance and ESR have direct effect on transients and therefore perceived ... | |
| Squeezebox Touch: jitter thru wi-fi? Mapman - I noticed a few second delay with my Airport Express. I think they fill the buffer to prevent drop-outs in case of interference. Jitter-wise AE was tested by Stereophile and measured word jitter on digital output was respectable 250ps. | |
| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? "women who place money as a high priority"Very shallow women indeed!Myself - I like these great qualities in a woman, that are often praised by superficial men. |
