| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? Dracule1,I didn't believe it for a minute since your Hyperions are not only far from being beautiful but also resemble coffins. I know, I have a pair. | |
| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? Dracule1,Any deep interest might impress woman (beer, sports, sex don't count). | |
| Help create my Mac Music Server Stan_head,I don't see anything wrong with using CD drive for ripping as long as it is bit perfect copy (use MAX in CDParanoia "do not allow to skip" mode). I would also store bit perfect copy on the server and allow DAC to upsample instead (if nec... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System Jamo1,I've heard a lot good things about Mogami cables and absolutely agree about trying what professionals use. I'm just not sure that they use the most neutral cables since they might find similar synergy between microphones, electronics and cab... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System "My thinking is that if you want to hear what the recording engineers wanted you to you should use the cables they used making the music, anything different is coloration"Jamo1,So, if cables used for recording are coloring shall I use the same cab... | |
| A voltage driven conundrum Mohit25,I use MacMini (thru Airport Express) to my Benchmark DAC1 driving directly Rowland 102 (Icepower) amp. Both Benchmark and Rowland operate dual voltage*.Benchmark should be immune to transport quality since it has strong jitter suppression.... | |
| Why not a run high quality USB cable Mihaitaa,That's what I have (Benchmark DAC1) but I use Airport Express across the room instead of long cable, with 3' glass Toslink to DAC. AE has low (250ps) jitter, according to Stereophile measurements, that is further suppressed by Benchmark. ... | |
| Class D with low-end drive/slam Mapman,Rowland Icepower amps have 40k input impedance. | |
| Why not a run high quality USB cable Larry_s,Thanks for the test. Even if there is a small difference my friend doesn't care and his receiver is more of Mid-Fi. It is still better than running 30' long ICs. | |
| Why not a run high quality USB cable Steve,Would it work with USB to Toslink Converter? My friend wants to run 30' of cheap IC from the sound card to receiver while his receiver has Toslink input. 30' of USB extension + converter + 3' glass Toslink is perhaps better? | |
| Why not a run high quality USB cable There are active USB extension cables like that one that measures 32ft: http://www.amazon.com/Meters-Active-Extension-Repeater-Female/dp/B002VG39BI/ref=sr_1_14?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1288731775&sr=1-14 | |
| Amp Specs esp. DampFactor : Citation, Adcom, etc. Yes, THD should represent a cleaner signal path but the problem is that amp design is a compromise - you want more of this you'll get less of that. THD is usually traded in SS amps for TIM and related odd order harmonics enhancement. Stereophile e... | |
| XLR cable for basic beginner I second AQ King Cobra. It was much more expensive when it was called Python. AQ, to stay competitive, moved production to China and lowered prices renaming cables. King Cobra XLR, I had before, might be not as refined as Acoustic Zen Absolute XLR... | |
| Amp Specs esp. DampFactor : Citation, Adcom, etc. Aewhistory, I had impression that keeping bandwidth well above 20kHz prevents phase shifts within 20kHz but as research suggest it might as well improve transients that our brain processes. Technical spects have no value to me. I'm not even sure w... | |
| Amp Specs esp. DampFactor : Citation, Adcom, etc. Atmasphere,As I understand it, our brain works more in time domain than frequency domain. We cannot hear above 20kHz but recent research shows that people can still tell the difference between 20kHz and 50kHz bandwidth listening to music. All spac... |
