| Does a ripped cd onto a digital format sound better than the cd played on the cdp Thanks Steve. Of course "received" is a big simplification. The moment of D/A conversion does not have to to be the same as moment of data arrival, but often conversion clock is based on incoming data rate to avoid getting out of sync (losing data... | |
| Does a ripped cd onto a digital format sound better than the cd played on the cdp Thank you Sbank. Let me give small example why bits are not the bits.When we attempt to do something very simple like sending digital signal representing 1kHz we might actually receive three different signals. It is because in order to produce onl... | |
| Does a ripped cd onto a digital format sound better than the cd played on the cdp Jitter can be added two ways - either during transmission of digital signal that can influence D/A clock or by inducing electrical noise, that produces time jitter (point in time of signal crossing threshold changes when signal has added noise). I... | |
| Does a ripped cd onto a digital format sound better than the cd played on the cdp Then how is it that some "digital" cables sound better than others? Or do you deny that?Let me answer that. There might be three reasons.1. Digital cable injects electrical noise from the source (computer) or this noise is induced from ambient ele... | |
| Does a ripped cd onto a digital format sound better than the cd played on the cdp Veroman, it is hard to compare since playback gear is different. On the brand new CD it might not make any difference, but scratched CD is different story. Most of CDPs cannot correct errors (cannot read again), playing in real time. They can corr... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker Thank you Al, but I lost all hope - it is almost 6 months now and no improvement. All audio tests show -95dB. My doctor says it was most likely a virus from the shingles variety. After 15 sessions in hiperbaric chamber and two direct injections... | |
| A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital.. I'm not sure what this means, but nothing is perfect.That's all I'm saying. | |
| A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital.. ..the transient need only to fall within the bandwidth of the system. It’s why digital audio works.For any signal to be perfectly band limited it would have to extend infinitely in time. There are many other shortcomings like less than perfect br... | |
| RMS Power? Ramtubes, - please read my post at "Running AHB2 in bridged mode..." | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker Ramtubes, PEACE! I'm sorry for my comments. It was uncalled for. I have short fuse (electrical term :) ) recently, since I completely lost hearing in the right ear few months ago (replaced by loud white noise - so much for Benchmark's fantastic... | |
| A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital.. It is not matter of disproving, but rather knowing limitations (understanding it). This theorem only states that you can recover continuous signal by sampling at least two times per period. It does not say you can do that when waveform constantl... | |
| A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital.. No matter what the resolution and data rate a digital representation of a sound, it will always be an approximation of the original event.+1, Tom1000 | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker I think, we are talking about two different things. I have never mentioned actual amplifier's power at clipping but rather manufacturer's specifications (that are quite different), that calls for power doubling (or close to it). I have also notic... | |
| RMS Power? Al, I was right (he is not going to get it). RMS value of ANY sinusoidal waveform, having peak at 200 (of any unit) is 141 (of the same unit). 100W would be an average power value corresponding to VrmsxIrms and equal to half of peak power for sine... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker Yes, drop across resistance will double, but reserves in power supply combined with the feedback will make up for that.I dont see why it is a virtue especially if it is just a spec and not what is really going on. Has Stereophile tested any of the... |
