| Your system struck by lightning? What did you learn? CMOS chips were very susceptible to static, since even small amount of momentary current (in order of 30mA) could create a "Latch-up" where totem pole output (NMOS+PMOS) would become SCR-like structure. Latch-up would draw current and temperature... | |
| Message from the Past: We were never against tone controls At my age it becomes increasingly difficult to climb the stage and adjust sound to my liking. | |
| Recommendation for a replacement speaker cable I enjoy AZ Satori, but it is very thick. | |
| Using 200w amp with 300w rms speaker Sensitivity is correct because we are measuring how sensitive the speaker output volume is to the input signal.My bad. Thank you millercarbon for explanation. | |
| What if any, is the difference between a band or a group? Spencer Davis Group - 4 musicians. | |
| How do you avoid buying new LPs that sound just like CDs? I'm not sure if digital recording has anything to do with it. My friend works for very large recording studio, known for many highly praised recordings, that dumped analog recording (Studer) decades ago. The more important issue is compression, ... | |
| Using 200w amp with 300w rms speaker +1 knotscottSensitivity: 90dB/W/mIt means that 1W from 1m will produce 90dB. The fact that you have two speakers adds 3dB. Because it is not open space, reflections in the room will likely add another 3dB. So, your speakers driven by 1W power w... | |
| Using 200w amp with 300w rms speaker The power recommendation is for MAXIMUM safe power.Yes, but it is maximum average power, not maximum peak power. Average power is equivalent to dissipated heat.Pavg = Vrms*Irms Peak power for sinewave is twice larger than average power. RMS o... | |
| What is the best way to play music with DAC/wireless? I don't stream yet, but for the playback from HD I chose Airplay. WiFi makes all things on the computer side irrelevant. You can use any computer with any speed and any amount of RAM and it won't make a difference since what is being send is dat... | |
| When did you digitize your CDs and LPs? I still haven’t... I’m surprised that people can hear any media induced jitter from CD or CD-R. I can understand that on the receiving end (DAC) D/A conversion clock has to be recreated from incoming S/Pdif stream, but in CDP constant linear speed is created by comp... | |
| When did you digitize your CDs and LPs? I still haven’t... I don't use CDP at all. All my music comes from HD (where it is just data) and I also tend to buy CDs used, mostly from Amazon. Audio CD-Rs create easy legal way of copying CDs from friends. I copy such CDs to HD, but have to keep Audio CD-R co... | |
| When did you digitize your CDs and LPs? I still haven’t... They stopped recording CD-R by burning aluminum long time ago, (burning speeds were around 2x). Today they laser-write to photosensitive dye. | |
| When did you digitize your CDs and LPs? I still haven’t... If each CD has exactly the same checksum there will be no degradation since exactly the same data is copied each time. Checksum of the whole CD can be verified. I'm not sure how they copied CD - perhaps using Itunes or device that doesn't look f... | |
| When did you digitize your CDs and LPs? I still haven’t... I can’t explain it but I get more detail than from my CD transportTransport connection to DAC can add more jitter (noise) and also scratches on CD can force CDP to interpolate data since CDPs, working in real time, cannot re-read each questionable... | |
| Is an unshielded, unbalanced cable useful for anything in hifi? Where? No, shielding is not "needed", but it can be helpful. Twisting wires provides very effective defense against ambient electrical noise. Shielding just makes it better, especially at very high frequencies, where twisting becomes less effective. T... |
