| Reliable Digital Music Storage I also found interesting chart at the bottom of this article:https://www.premiumusb.com/blog/how-long-can-usb-drives-lastIt shows 51 years average data retention for SSD. | |
| Reliable Digital Music Storage Mirroring does not give you full protection. Controller fault, virus etc. can wipe all of them. I just keep two unpowered copies of my mechanical drive - one at home and on in the bank vault (in case of theft, fire, flood etc.) Unpowered mechanica... | |
| Oscilloscopes - what specs to look for? I made some searching on oscilloscopes and concluded that non-toy scope starts at about $200. There are three companies wort consideration: Siglent, Rigol (about the same) and Owon or Uni-T at the lower end. Cheapest you can get is Hanmatek exac... | |
| CD Treatment AFAIK Reed Solomon corrects errors caused by circular scratches up to about 4mm long. For scratches 4-8mm it interpolates data. For >8mm it misses the data with possible pop/click. Computer (and some CDPs) can read the same sector multiple t... | |
| CD Treatment fundsgon, Allergy to a beer? I'm so sorry man. | |
| Is there a difference in sound between a coax cable and an optical one? shtinkydog, nobody can answer that, since it is system dependent. Optical should be better, because it does nor create ground loops and is not sensitive to any electrical ambient noise, but on it is very susceptible to a system noise. System nois... | |
| Give Satanic Majesties A Chance AFAIK Stones started as Rhythm & Blues band, while Brian Jones started to steer toward psychodelic, very popular at the time as well. Mick and Keith were interested only in R&B (sole reason of forming the band). There were many bands play... | |
| J River Music Software for Mac I also have Mac+Itunes+WiFi+AE, but sound quality after update to Music is exactly the same. Perhaps something else changed? | |
| Speaker cable geometry question Cables don't directly change midrange only, but moving speakers to change wires often does.Speakers are in the exactly same marked location, angle etc. Nothing changed in the room. | |
| Speaker cable geometry question Long time ago I read FAQ by Audioquest on the subject of speaker cable geometry. They claim that skin effect, that starts (copper at 20kHz) at gauge 18, affects the sound. Using multiple insulated strands helps a little, but strands are still i... | |
| A cable question, sort of... heaudio123 They don’t have to be separated, but they often are because it is easier to wire, for isolation, and to reduce capacitance between coils. Common mode air choke has to be wired with a pair of wires (interleaved) because of leakage flux. ... | |
| Dbx encoded discs I’m surprised that DBX was used for noise reduction on CDs, since CDP, by design (CD standard), has its own noise reduction by pre-emphasis and de-emphasis. Each CD provides "flag" that can turn de-emphasis on, but it is almost never used. The mai... | |
| Digital Coax Cable - Does the Length Make a Difference I would only add, that it seems logical for D/A converter clock to be synchronized with incoming data samples (to avoid losing data). In S/Pdif D/A clock is adjusted to average data rate from S/Pdif while in asynchronous USB D/A converter runs a... | |
| A cable question, sort of... No it doesn't but I have the same degree from less known university plus 40 years experience as a design engineer in electronics (many different fields) and I can judge about somebody's competence. The fact that you don't or cannot understand th... | |
| A cable question, sort of... AFAIK Masters in EE in prestigious Columbia University. What about you? |
