| Storage Device Recommendations I don't see a reason for RAID since you need backup anyway. I keep my CDs in ALAC on 1TB SSD:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YD5TK4F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1For backup I use:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078ST... | |
| All about streaming I have ability to stream either from my computer or Android based TV, but I prefer just to buy CDs. I know there are more expensive streaming plans to receive CD quality (16/44.1) stream. | |
| The anachronistic CD Transport? And do I really need one. I switched to server only when my last CDP failed (long time ago). I use external computer CD reader to rip new CDs. I can also play CDs directly in my DVD player connected to Benchmark DAC3 (high jitter suppression), but I never do - nothing be... | |
| All about streaming I doubt it. Ethernet or WiFi deliver the same data. Perhaps purchased mp3s have higher bitrate? | |
| Optimize my MacBook pro Your Briscati M1 DAC (if you still have it) is asynchronous, hence timing on the computer side makes no difference. I would try to reduce injected electrical noise, by using USB cable without +5V and GND wires and possibly use USB isolator. You... | |
| BNC and USB from streamer to DAC Asynchronous USB delivers just data - you cannot make it any better. The only disadvantage in comparison to S/Pdif is the amount of electrical noise injected into DAC, that can affect the sound. When you have both cables connected USB should win. | |
| Krell Class A/B power amps, do 'anticipator circuits' work? Douglas Self stated that increasing bias often leads to increased distortions. He also measured it. The reason for that is changing transconductance. Transconductance is output current to driving voltage gain, that is rapidly changing when two tra... | |
| Krell Class A/B power amps, do 'anticipator circuits' work? It is possible to linearize, with the feedback, any amount of output non-linearities. The difference between class A and AB is in the amount of feedback (tenfold). Increasing bias without lowering negative feedback won't achieve anything. | |
| 10agw +10agw=7agw? need some big Banana's levy03, I installed spades on mine. Be careful - each cable consists of multiple insulated strands, but one of the strands is not solid. It is stranded (many very thin strands). I'm not sure why, and perhaps they changed design, but if you ever... | |
| 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, ... |
