| When is digital going to get the soul of music? One would even argue that CRT-TV is better than HDTV (it has to - it's analog). It's not "edgy" or "bright" but has this pleasant softness and fuzziness.... | |
| DLP lamps Cruz123 - No it's not the common problem with DLP. I have Samsung 42" DLP with over 6000hrs on the bulb (rated 8000). Previous bulb burned after over 8000hrs. I'm using this TV since early 2001 more than 6hrs every day (I'm an addict) | |
| Entry Level Cables T-BoneIf not for Audiofeil there would be no, as you stated "silly exchange" and you wouldn't be able to present yourself here. | |
| Entry Level Cables Sounds_real_audio"I could very well have a used piece of gear advertised here and then go on threads and in stealth mode to promote that piece."Yes - and that would be bad as well. I hope you're not trying to say that other do it so it's OK.I'm no... | |
| Variac Variable Transformer I agree with Commcat. I found rule of thumb on the internet to apply 5 min. plus 1 min for every month of storage. This would call for 41 min of reforming unit stored for three years. It seems too short and I would do this at least for many hours ... | |
| Variac Variable Transformer It's a problem with electrolytic caps. Layer of aluminum oxide that serves as isolator diminishes over time (years) without voltage and capacitor looses its voltage rating. Applying voltage and keeping voltage at lower levels (for days) will reple... | |
| Researching the CD/HDCD Players from China Tvad - I did not make assertion that people open Lamm preamps either. Every review of Lamm preamps as well as their website shows inside of the box - difficult not to notice. Lamm, according to reviews and reputation makes one of the finest soundi... | |
| Researching the CD/HDCD Players from China Tvad - Didn't you just make the same assertion about people opening Cambridge CD player? | |
| Researching the CD/HDCD Players from China "That's the only relevance to this thread." - In order to understand relevance or lack of it one has to understand what toroidal transformer is and why non-toroidal transformers have to be shielded. I suspect that many companies (including LAMM) m... | |
| Researching the CD/HDCD Players from China I think they cover torroids just in case or for the looks. My Benchmark DAC1 has uncovered (quite large) power toroid just few inches from the DAC and clock and Benchmark still gets S/N=140dB. | |
| Researching the CD/HDCD Players from China Tvad - The torroid story is really interesting, but do they shield toroidal transformers? As far as I know magnetic field around torroidal transformer cancels completely as long as winding is uniform. "Further, in the case of the Cambridge A3i, th... | |
| Researching the CD/HDCD Players from China Tvad - I known it was made in China but forgot to mention it. I even talked to designer of this amp Alex Nikitin who works for Michael Creek. He expressed opinion that it would cost twice as much to build it in the UK. My point was that something ... | |
| Researching the CD/HDCD Players from China Tvad - there might be another reson for quality problems in China that has nothing to do with China. I had Cambridge amp (A3i) that failed after couple of years. I found out that four LED diodes used as voltage reference were soldered too short an... | |
| I am sick of cables Al - I do agree that correlation is far from being 1 but still exist. Article on the other hand claims that people can very seldom tell the difference between any cables.I know that this is not true and I won't applaud articles like that one.Manuf... | |
| I am sick of cables Almarg - I read article. The problem is that people often try to find sanity in the laws of physics. According to them only inductance and capacitance play part while most of people can hear difference between silver and copper cables. I don't kno... |
