| 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... | |
| I am sick of cables Dave_b - I just wasn't sure if you compared them A-B in the same system. Like with any product there are some very good bargains but there is a correlation (unfortunately exponential) between price and quality (transparency, clarity etc). I don't ... | |
| I am sick of cables Dave_B - let me get it straight: You've never heard your new system with your "fancy" cables because you traded them at the very start - yet you claim that Monster cables are better? Am I missing something? | |
| Multichannel SACD with computer as transport? If I remember correctly SACD has different capacity than CD.It is protected from reading by 80 bit code and from writing by "pit width modulation" that SACD player is looking for. | |
| XLR interconnects? Darrenmc - what about Acoustic Zen Silver Reference II? | |
| Sub output: Is it the woofer size or the rated RMS Drew - Thanks. I forgot about xmax. | |
| Sub output: Is it the woofer size or the rated RMS Shadorne - I was thinking of three 10" woofers versus one 18" woofer (same area). |
