| cables I remember that Cardas makes headphone cables. I found this:https://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=CREX | |
| The low frequency response is Bass, not Base. Bass is base. | |
| Need help. Music server and streaming. Newbie. Foeraus, I decided to use existing computer, next to my listening chair. I use WiFi in order to avoid dragging cable across the room.Quality of digital music when delivered data is perfect (aka "bit-perfect) lies in timing of D/A conversion. When ... | |
| ... WHAT POWER CORD(S) ARE PLAYING IN YOU SYSTEM TODAY? DIY Belden 83803 (Ga12, Teflon) two cables 1 foot long with Wattgate connectors for Benchmark DAC3 and Benchmark AHB2 - both connected to Furman Elite 20PFi conditioner. | |
| How To Clean Piano Black Speaker Finish? I sprayed mine with furniture Pledge and fingerprints show much less. I suspect anything containing light wax can do the same. | |
| Compatible TV to audio receiver AFAIK there are two standards for line level: 1.23Vrms (+4dBu) for Pro gear (and modern audio, I think), and 0.316Vrms (-10dBV) for older consumer electronics. It is possible that both - your TV and receiver follow the older standard, so you sho... | |
| This on usb cables No it is not. He might believe that "some" expensive cables would sound better, but would not necessarily believe that all expensive cables would sound better. Logic is a tricky thing. ;) | |
| What volume level should a DAC be set to when feeding your Pre Amp 0dB FS (full scale) should correspond to 24dBu. Since 24dBu is a level related to 0.775V (1mW over 600ohm) it will correspond to 12.3Vrms. When you selected -15dB your DAC would output 24dBu-15dB=9dBu = 2.2Vrms. I'm not sure what nominal level... | |
| This on usb cables Read: some that you believe should sound better will indeed sound better. | |
| This on usb cables Most of new gear uses asynchronous USB, meaning that the timing (clock) of USB transfers and clock of internal D/A conversion are independent. Because of that cable should not affect the sound but often it does, because it picks up noise and inje... | |
| Which reviewers and review sites are the ost reliable? I used to subscribe to Stereophile and now often read it on line. Their reviews are pretty good and include measurements. The problem is that everything is always positive. You can find how they classify them (A,B,C,D) in Recommended Components... | |
| It takes time to get the stink out of your ear The same applies to bad gear IMHO. At first clarity of new Benchmark DAC, felt strange. I had impression that some instruments are missing. I had to get used to it (learn to listen). Others must've felt the same since one person commented "I c... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong @georgehifi Who said production boards will be soldered by hand? Many small companies, including one I worked for, make small quantity of very sophisticated high density boards using Assembly Houses. We used to make them with semi-automatic ste... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong @atmasphere Ralph, perhaps I can help a little with SMT question (although you may already know all this) . Suggestion to use wave soldering for your production is nonsense. It was replaced by reflow soldering more than decade ago. The only al... | |
| What DB level is best for judging audio equipment? It might also depend on room acoustic. I have a bit of slap echo in my living room, that is difficult to get rid of. Playing too loud makes sound worse, less clean - most likely from increased number of still audible reflections. |
