| Shotgun with different cables Even if there was sound basis into technically deduced drawbacks it would still be advisable to let theory be theory, and let ones ears be the final judge. Why drawbacks? It can be beneficial to use different wires. It is done in internal b... | |
| Need Help Ripping My CD Collection You can rip just one CD you want to listen to at given moment. You can start playback just after ripping first song. That way you'll eventually rip all of them and it won't be a huge chore. | |
| Ineed some help with a simple math equation Perceived loudness change can be calculated as:k^(1/3.5) where k is a ratio of powers.(500/400)^(1/3.5) = 1.066 (6.6% increase).I doubt that you can hear that. You want "better". If you need more sensitivity you will be 2.03dB "better" with ... | |
| Speaker wire size VS speaker size. Should bigger speakers use bigger wires? Assumption here is that thin wires will somehow change bass-treble balance reducing bass because of higher bass currents. I'm not sure it is true. Voltage divider will still be the same for all speakers - bass/midrange/tweeter as long as speake... | |
| Speaker wire size VS speaker size. Should bigger speakers use bigger wires? Gauge 22 resistance is about 0.016 ohm/ft. Your cable is 8 ft making it 8ft + 8ft =16ft. 16 x 0.016 ohm = 0.26ohm. Assuming 4ohm speaker it will make 4/(4+0.26) = 0.94. It means about 6% voltage drop resulting in about 12% power loss. This ... | |
| Toslink or Coaxial from Bluesound Vault 2 to external DAC? It is system dependent - what works for him might not work for you. Toslink doesn't make ground loops and is free from electrical noise pickup or reflections in the cable, but is sensitive to system noise because transitions are slow. Slow transi... | |
| What's the best (or is there a "best") DAC input to use? You're welcome. At the beginning USB was used as synchronous meaning D/A converter clock was derived from unstable computer data rate (to avoid loosing or gaining too many samples). Async USB should be better.Be careful with "better" transports.... | |
| What's the best (or is there a "best") DAC input to use? USB theoretically should be the best as long as it is asynchronous. As name suggest D/A converter clock is completely independent from the computer. Data is sent in chunks (frames) while DAC sends back signal "Buffer over/under-flow" used by comp... | |
| What kind of controller are you using for your Hi-Fi music system? I've tried on 2.4GHz and it worked poorly. Not only that real number of channels is limited to 4 (since each channel is at least 3 channels wide), but also microwave works at the same frequency (exact frequency of one of the channels). When micro... | |
| Mark Knopfler's Guitar Collection Thanks Erik - Fantastic. | |
| Suggestions on Better Server Setup than Mac Mini I agree that dedicated server is more "elegant" solution, but Mac Mini, that I use, is not bad at all. It is pleasure to use IMHO, at least for me, have very little software issues, is very secure and rock solid (in comparison to Windows). I ass... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses It is placebo effect IMHO, but there is nothing wrong with it - the result is what counts. If it improves the sound, then why not?! Trying to convince believers is wrong, as wrong would be to tell the truth to a person who gets headache relief f... | |
| RMS Power? Zavato, amp is rated 80watt and marked 80watt rms by mistake. In watt rms it would be 97.6 watt. Vrms*Irms=Pavg NOT Prms. | |
| RMS Power? The kV rms varies greatly with the quality of the power supplied to the input of the transformer and even more with the form of rectification.What is "quality of power"? Do you mean amount?Is "form of rectification" - full wave or half wave?Since ... | |
| RMS Power? Williwonka, Peace! I'm sorry for the tone of my comments toward you. Changing industry might not be possible, but we can start with our forum. |
