| Cabinet Colors I have Hyperion HPS-938 in black finish. They look very similar to Wilson Puppies and resemble small coffins. I hated the finish initially, but it kept growing on me. Additional benefit of piano finish is ability to fix any scratches by piano r... | |
| Replacing a MAC Mini with new one... Mesh, Since your asynchronous USB/Spdif converter is shielding your DAC from any noise or timing issues computer becomes irrelevant. Any MAC will do with any amount of memory, any hard disk and any playback program. I'm in similar situation being... | |
| The Sad State of Movie Theater Sound Systems My wife and I went to see the movie, that had a lot of special effects. Volume was set so low that we couldn't even hear dialog. People started yelling but there was nobody in charge. We went outside to find manager. He explained that there is n... | |
| Where is the signal blocked? Crossover. | |
| Review: USB Disruptor and "DaBigGenius" No 5 volt I understand that with self powered DAC, like Wadia 121, you just need well shielded USB cable with no 5V wires. That's all. Computer timing is irrelevant with asynchronous DAC. | |
| No sound from Pro-Ject Pre Box RS Digital Toslink Inputs It depends on TV. My Samsung has PCM-DOLBY menu choice, but Panasonics automatically output Dolby for ATSC and PCM for NTSC. | |
| Cable length dilemma! Inductance of straight wire is about 0.2-0.4uH/ft for gages 10-20. In the speaker cable this inductance is greatly reduced because of return wire (currents in opposite directions) especially when wires are twisted (twisted pair or helical twist). ... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable The "placebo effect" is real yet completely ignored...i.e.. "if it is supposed to sound better, it will."...and if you believe it shouldn’t sound better it won’t. | |
| Subwoofer Lowest bass string frequency is 41.2Hz. Lowest piano key is 27.5Hz, but it is seldom used. My speakers go down to 30Hz. I would spend money on the sub only for the "Movie Theater" special effects, but it is low priority for me. | |
| CD/SACD Player. I know there are many threads but I still would like help. Your Arcam has the same "Ring Dacs" that $12k DCs Elgar had. It is hard to beat it. | |
| Can I plug a Power amps and preamps that have SMPS are usually immune to line variations (being line and load regulated) and to DC voltage presence. In addition they often operate in wide range 80-240V | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Al, I agree on all points. Very good summary. | |
| Lo-Fi, Mid-Fi or Hi-Fi- What's your system and why? Hi-Fiish sounding means to me artificial sounding. Natural sounding is High End. One can find plenty of Hi-Fi gear in Best Buy. Atrocious sounding SS amps, sold in 70s, were also called Hi-Fi since they met German DIN 45500 standard. I cannot ca... | |
| Does anyone know about putting marker on CDs? You can remove Permanent marker by applying Dry Erase marker on the top and wiping it off. | |
| DAC's Which Convert PCM to DSD Mikey8811, Every DAC that uses Delta-Sigma (1-bit) converter converts PCM to DSD, then DSD to analog. |
