| Does the quality of a digital signal matter? Error checking and correction is very loose in CDPs since it has to read CD in real time (dust, scratches). There are programs like MAX for Mac that read music CD as data going multiple time to the same sector until finds right checksum. My CDP pl... | |
| Mac Mini Power Supply Mintzar - I don't know of a single switching mode power supply that operates in audible band. The lowest I know to operate is about 50kHz - non audible. Modern switching power supplies are switching at zero voltage/zero current while linear power ... | |
| Mac Mini Power Supply "I have always found switchmode supplies to be VERY noisy and mechanical sounding."I don't question your findings but I hope you realize that this voltage (is it 18V?) goes inside of Mac Mini thru internal switching regulators to deliver voltages ... | |

| Got $1000...how should I spend it? Compact and under a thousand? Tvad is right - dump the girlfriend. Speakers come and speakers go but memories of $1k spent on drugs and hookers will stay forever. | |
| AudioQuest DBS Field Paulsax - exactly. I'm leaving it to others as well. It would be a great arrogance on my part to say that it cannot work because I cannot understand it. It wouldn't be right for me to say that AQ doesn't know what they doing (or cheat people) beca... | |
| AudioQuest DBS Field Paulsax - depolarization into random state is called relaxation. Dependent on material it can take from relatively short time to a year. Some materials might be permanently polarized. They are called electrets. Electrets can be natural, like quart... | |
| AudioQuest DBS Field Paulsax - Maybe not physical changes in dielectric but forming and orienting dipoles in presence of electric field. | |
