| Advice Needed On Recapping Power Amp Going to higher capacitance means also higher inductance hence slower response to rapid current demand. It will also reduce ripple and that might not be a good thing, since very low ripple, especially when combined with low ESR means very high a... | |
| Purpose Built & Sold Sound Absorption Drapes & Curtains? Drapes would not dampen frequencies that can easily pass thru them IMHO. Stand behind the drapes while playing music - all sound you hear won't be dampen. Most likely you need very heavy acoustic curtains to have any effect. | |
| ALPS Motorized Volume Pot- Repair (VTL 5.5 Preamp) Arniespin, Does it always happen after exactly 2 minutes? Does volume on numeric display change? | |
| ALPS Motorized Volume Pot- Repair (VTL 5.5 Preamp) I had the same problem with Benchmark DAC3 HGC. After half an hour of playing whole remote would stop working. I found that infrared receiving diode was poorly soldered barely making contact. I re-soldered it and it works fine. Try, when it st... | |
| max length of toslink or coaxial digital cable without signal degradation? In general coax should be better. Toslink has slow transitions that can convert system noise into jitter but doesn't have reflections, doesn't make ground loops and is not sensitive to ambient electrical noise. All comes to jitter that converts to... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? +1 royj. With new Benchmark DAC3 + AHB2 combo, in the background I hear instruments that used to be just "sounds". Imaging is wonderful and dynamics/slam is beyond believe. People assume that highly resolving gear is less dynamic - completely f... | |
| Truly transparent audio components or flavor of the month equipment Benchmark is absolutely amazing. I have DAC3 HGC and AHB2 amplifier. My first initial reaction, many years ago, when I bought Benchmark DAC1 was that it sounded too clean. I realized, that up to this point I was listening to music with added disto... | |
| 2 Channel audio room chair ideas I second Ekornes Stressless, very comfortable and long lasting. I have "Sunrise" identical to the one in the picture:https://tfe-120c.kxcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/stressless_sunrise_large-3.jpg | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable It is a little bit pessimistic picture. I try to stay optimistic.Pessimist: It is so bad it cannot be any worseOptimist: Yes, it can! Yes, it can! | |
| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? So, if Odyssey amps don't oscillate, why you even mentioned them? | |

| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? Stereo5, I don't quite understand your post. Do you mean that Odyssey amps tend to oscillate? | |
| “MQA is a philosophy”..John Stuart Jafant, It is in my view. I cannot use SACD with the server and don't want to invest in two different formats, CD being dominant. In addition 90% of CDs I have are not available in SACD or HDCD. I realize limitations of CDs (Nyquist applies onl... | |
| “MQA is a philosophy”..John Stuart There were many attempts to improve sound, like HDCD or SACD but all pretty much failed. They had one thing in common - a strong copy protection.Myself, I don't care for MQA since I don't see sound quality limitations of existing media. I have f... | |
| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? Oscillation can self destroy the amp and might damage tweeters. I assume that amplifier can safely drive all typical cables and speakers unless manufacturer specifies limitations - like maximum load capacitance.Since preventing oscillation usually... |
