| Do caps stay "fully formed" even under minimal load? (SS) "...like class d amps. Someof the capacitors and other components are stressed to the maximum, all the time."Output Mosfets connect output to positive and negative supply with duty cycle dependent on desired output voltage. When duty cycle is 50%... | |
| When did you digitize your CDs and LPs? I still haven’t... +1 johnss I use two backups. Every time I add more than 5 CDs I copy to one of backups (altering between them). Using two backups protects me from loss of everything in case when one backup goes wrong, like controller failure (voltage spike, virus... | |

| The survival of the fittest. @simao I remember OHM advertisements in late 70's. They also had a lot of positive reviews. Once company product is known and respected it likely doesn't need much advertising. On the other hand it puzzles me that they are able to operate dir... | |
| When did you digitize your CDs and LPs? I still haven’t... It is not such burden when you rip CDs when you want to listen to them. Instead of placing CD in CDP tray and pushing play button I place it in computer tray click on the "Rip" and after first song is ripped I play whole album in Itunes (ripping ... | |
| The survival of the fittest. @simao that's true for established brands like Ohm, but for less known companies it can be a killer, especially when lack of marketing is combined with lack of dealerships. My fantastic Hyperion HPS-938 speakers introduced in 2004, had many rewa... | |
| Sensitivity Ratings on Preamplifiers or Integrateds vs. Amplifiers If there is any standard for sensitivity it might be 1.23V (+4dBu), but I remember few decades ago 0.3V (-10dBV) was common. By using higher sensitivity they tried to save money - more gain in amp, but less gain stages in all sources.http://www.h... | |

| Why are digital streaming equipment manufacturers refusing to answer me? Since I am receiving bit perfect signals nothing happening prior to the conversion to fiber matters IMO.mihalis, that's the beauty of it. With my WiFi computer noise, speed, amount of RAM etc. don't matter, but there is hardware prior to fiber an... | |
| *WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters Townshend-audio, It appears that you joined our audio forum only in attempt to place free advertisement for your product. It is dishonest IMO and I wouldn't buy anything from you. Audio2design attempted to explain to you why using square waves i... | |
| *WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters Is it just coincidence that the traces track characteristic impedance quite closely?Characteristic impedance always depends on inductance but taking false conclusions and writing papers on it is pretty bad. I'm sure your cables sound wonderful, b... | |
| Why are digital streaming equipment manufacturers refusing to answer me? I don't think people realize that the USB signal does not get reclocked by the DAC. What they reclock on the DAC is the audio signal that is transported via USB.In async USB DAC receives "frames" of data usually at 1kHz rate and feeds them into bu... | |
| Why are digital streaming equipment manufacturers refusing to answer me? @mihalis yes, asynchronous USB receives just data and uses own independent clock for D/A conversion. Still, any electrical connection can inject noise and alter this clock timing. As for optical connection - it helps, but it is not a panacea. ... | |
| Member Almarg passed away last night He was always so nice to me, but his nature was to be nice to everybody. People like that, I meet in my life from time to time, give me example and correct my behavior. Without him this forum suddenly makes much less sense to me with bunch of pe... | |
| Why are digital streaming equipment manufacturers refusing to answer me? @mihalis I called your post a "blanket statement" because you stated that nothing makes a difference when your DAC is connected thru fiberoptics etc. There is a big difference between saying "I cannot hear the difference" and "Nobody can hear th... |
