| Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables? Nothing wrong with constructive criticism - I welcome you to judge my cables choice. To be in the same spirit I will tell you, in return, what I really think of your wife, your house and car choice. | |
| 24 bit/44.1? Dseanm - It has more to do with the type of converter than number of bits. Dac in your Monarchy (PCM63 - now discontinued) is traditional DAC with laser trimmed resistor divider while most of 24/192 DACs (if not all) are Delta-Sigma. There is noth... | |
| Amphenol glass toslinks - First impressions Mattzack2 - What I said applies to "upsampling" DACs and not to your NOS DAC. With your DAC transport and cable will make big difference! | |
| Amphenol glass toslinks - First impressions Mattzack2 - You're right. I was referring to coax (either 75 or 110 ohm). I don't consider fiber optics a cable (in electrical sense). I don't know much about USB. The reason for Toslink being inferior is slow voltage-light conversion and therefor... | |
| Amphenol glass toslinks - First impressions Mattzack2 - it sounds different because affect light transmission and therefore jitter. Jitter is a noise in time domain and affect clarity of the sound. Digital cables are in general better with jitter than toslinks but there are also jitter reje... | |
| SPDIF Cable Length Critical? Seasoned - Everything depends on the DAC that you'll use. With jitter rejecting upsampling DAC (like Benchmark) quality of cable is not important at all (as well as transport) and you can use 1000' - doesn't matter. Optical might even help you to ... | |
| XLR interconnects? Lacee - what you said about Europeans being ahead of US in HDTV having it for years is not exactly true.First standard program (other than test transmissions) HDTV transmission in Europe happened in January 2004. I bought my HDTV TV in 2001/2002 a... | |
| XLR interconnects? Lacee - Saying things like "you're obviously young" or "you have a lot to learn" is immature and rude. I don't know what gave you an idea that I'm young. I hope you don't claim to be older just to give more weight to your statements - that would b... | |
| Sonic Frontier Line One with Class D Amp? Coffey - It doesn't do 2 ohms. Minimum is 3 ohms. | |
| Sonic Frontier Line One with Class D Amp? Robbie - I cannot comment on synergy with Sonic Frontiers but I have Rowland Model 102. At the time I bought it it was $1500 while Bel Canto S300 was $1600. Not only that Rowland has great reputation and is known for beautiful cases but also one r... | |
| Who's your guitar daddy now? Unoear - Andres Segovia was the great teacher and advocate for guitar music but as a performer lacked technique a little. It is not only Segovia but many musicians and instruments. Technical perfection today is beyond believe. Conlon Nancarrow wro... | |
| Why are most High End Amps class A Shadorne - careful topology is always important but I think that as long as transconductance in biased area is non linear extending this area doesn't alleviate the problem but makes it worse (extends nonlinear area). This problem is different from... | |
| Why are most High End Amps class A Shadorne - tests show that underbias and overbias causes increase in distortion (especially higher order odd harmonics) for all signals (in wide range of output power). Increasing bias above optimal level increases non-linear area (of non-constant... | |
| Why are most High End Amps class A Kirkus - I don't do much with discrete stuff so I remember wrong definition of class B (as a one without bias current). Now I realized that it has to have bias current in order to break Vbe voltage of output transistors. | |
| are all amps equal Kirkus - Tubes should be better then, for reducing power related hash. I'm getting interested in power cables and their effect on the sound. My Benchmark DAC has regulated linear supply while my Rowland 102 has a switcher. I have to find some test... |
