| Should high-end shops be "OBLIGATED" to advise about component matching for best sound? sunnyjim, In order to advertise matching of whole system dealer would have to offer all system components, including a home and furniture, be your age, have the same hearing and sound preference, listen to the same music, etc. In short - to be yo... | |
| Is remastered mainly just less jitter? Jitter is not only an issue of the playback but recording (digitizing) as well. The difference is that playback jitter can be suppressed while recording jitter cannot be removed and the only way to improve it is to digitize it again from analog t... | |
| Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio If the finish greyed out because of friction in packing, then perhaps a little bit of furniture wax would restore color permanently. | |
| Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio rbogart, I'm sorry and I can understand that in scope of things pursuing this is not that important, but you already met your goal - telling others about dishonest seller. I cannot imagine anybody putting speakers into boxes and not realizing col... | |
| Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio Thank you for posting. It will help others. On the other hand Robert Lee is known to be very helpful. I sent him an email (before buying AZ cables) and he responded instantly. | |
| How long does a DAC take to burn in? My Benchmark DAC1 was bright sounding at first, then a little bit muffled and then open, smooth and more extended. It took about 100 hours at least to this point. There were still very small changes after that, I'm sure. My class D amp went to ... | |
| Chuck Berry passed away today.... In 80's I went to Biddy Mulligans bar/club on North Sheridan road in Chicago ($5 cover charge !!!) to see John Lee Hooker. He was incredible with his Coast to Coast Blues Band, but then he introduced his guests Willie Dixon and Chuck Berry. Liste... | |
| Digital cable length- SPDIF vs AES/EBU- 1.5 meter for either? Assuming 25ns transition time (typical transport) and about 5ns/m signal speed (typical cable) reflection in 1.5m cable will come 15ns later (after of the beginning of transition) just missing threshold point around 12.5ns (deforming transition by... | |
| $500 USB cable I described how cables affect the sound and it has nothing to do with "data" being wrong. Audio optical cable (Toslink) has different problems. Transmitter's transitions are very slow, making them susceptible to system noise induced jitter on bot... | |
| $500 USB cable People assign analog attributes to digital cables. Warmer, colder, brighter etc. I just wonder which bits are added, changed, or entirely missed when the sound turns warmer or brighter etc.? If bits are missed or added it will likely cause nasty n... | |
| Too Much Power? Yes, it is usually underpower that damages speakers. Clipping produces a lot of high frequency energy that damages tweeters. Some amps, including mine (class D Icepower) won't even clip (soft clipping). Perhaps Hypex is the same way. In additi... | |
| The awful truth about CDs, do they have the same shelve life as LP's ? How many people do you know that have A/D converters, just in case? | |
| Solid core Versus Stranded Speaker cables Strands don’t have to be 26awg since 18awg copper has 100% skin depth at 20kHz, as I mentioned in previous post. When they are stranded insulated then you will still have skin effect since they are in magnetic field of each other. That’s why they ... | |
| The awful truth about CDs, do they have the same shelve life as LP's ? jeffstar, if your gear is directed/optimized toward vinyl then most likely you don't even have D/A converter, much less A/D. In addition nobody would spend money to buy decent A/D converter to digitize all their LPs predicting ahead of time that ... | |
| Separate conductors for separate frequency ranges in cables Blang11 - sorry for my long rant on speaker cables. Perhaps my brain refused to even admit word "power" in your post :) Most of linear power supplies draw current in narrow spikes. These current spikes of very high amplitude contain a lot of h... |
