| Replacing Amp Caps dannad, Thank you - very interesting. I wasn't expecting that. So my reservation about inductance is unfounded. I would still be a little afraid of lower ESR. If we reduce voltage ripple using larger capacitor (and lower ESR), we have to be su... | |
| Replacing Amp Caps Be careful with high capacitance values that you might not need. By getting much more capacitance you are also adding much more inductance, making sluggish power supply. Yes, you can always bypass it with lower inductance smaller caps, but then ... | |
| Replacing Amp Caps Steve, Rated voltage has to be equal or higher, but as you can guess if it is too high something has to give. It is usually size or ESR. There are many factors that would be helpful, like ESR and max ripple current. There are tons of capacitors... | |
| Dinah Washington, have you listened to her? Dinah Washington "rough around the edges" ??? The most popular and beloved black artist of 50s. Incredible talent, that died too soon. She was known for exactly the opposite to "rough" - an excellent voice control. She was highly regarded by other... | |
| Question about length of SPDIF COAX interface cable length @jjss49 I tend to overanalyze things. I'm sure nobody decided upon 1.5m based on electrical calculations, but rather on empirical experience and calculations came later to find explanation for that. | |
| Question about length of SPDIF COAX interface cable length Uberwaltz, In case of regular cable coiling doesn't matter, since cable is not a wire but the pair of them with opposite direction currents, that produce opposing magnetic flux. That would be a common mode choke, and that's how non inductive bifi... | |
| Question about length of SPDIF COAX interface cable length grm, I'm not sure if there is any formula, and case of your 8" cable shows it. What counts into calculation of transmission line effects is transition time that can vary between 5ns for dedicated transports to over 50ns for average gear. In add... | |
| Question about length of SPDIF COAX interface cable length grm, I assumed typical 25ns transition time, but perhaps it is different. Maybe your source is swinging faster, especially at smaller capacitive load (shorter cable). Whatever it is - ears are the best judge. Same goes for different 1.5m cabl... | |
| Question about length of SPDIF COAX interface cable length I tried it with .5M, 1.0M, 1.5M cables on my own DAC and prefer the 1.5M as well..I would also pick 1.5m from these choices. 8" (0.2m) shouldn't have reflections at all (not a transmission line). | |
| Question about length of SPDIF COAX interface cable length That's surprising. Brightness would suggest a presence of the jitter (that translates to added noise). What about clarity/transparency and imaging? It is remotely possible that some electrical noise is injected from the source, possibly thru th... | |
| best way to connect audioengine b1 to my HK3490 receiver. Optical cable or RCA's Yes, optical will deliver all digital data, but since D/A conversion timing is extracted from this data, any changes in timing (time jitter) will convert to noise. It will depend greatly on the quality of digital output as RCA connection will dep... | |
| Question about length of SPDIF COAX interface cable length grm, I'm glad 8" works for you. It is safer not to get reflections to start with then trying to manage them, IMHO. | |
| Question about length of SPDIF COAX interface cable length I would choose 8" for sure. Cable becomes "transmission line" when propagation time (one way) is more than 1/8 of transition time (rule of thumb). Transitions for typical transport are about 25ns. Allowed travel time is about 25/8=3.125ns, equi... | |
| Bettye LaVette I noticed there is no info about recording process. I remember most of older CDs had designation next to Compact Disk logo, like ADD - meaning Analog recording, Digital mixing, Digital media. Some of classical recordings listed exact model of th... | |
| SPDIF cable same as coaxial cable? Does SPDIF just take the I2S format and just change into a single connection instead of 5 connections.No, they are two different formats. The main difference is that I2S contains both data and the clock (separate wires), while with S/Pdif you hav... |
