| Speaker cables for Kef LS50.... Vinylvin, are you still using the GBC of with the LS50s? If you tried something else, what did you try and how did it work?kn | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Jstropp - read my user name. Please improve the situation - how exactly is music represented digitally? | |
| Integrated amp/DAC combinations for around $3K? My apologies for double posting this topic. I posted on Friday on mobile, but didn't see anything Saturday so posted again. Any suggestions? | |
| Is computer audio a bust? Thanks, helpful description.kn | |
| Is computer audio a bust? I asked this question in another thread and didn't get an answer, so am trying here, since the conversation has touched on cable use."... Let me make sure I am tracking with you. You are saying that jitter is important. That jitter can also result... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Kijanki, let me make sure I am tracking with you. You are saying that jitter is important. That jitter can also result from cable induced errors. That re-clocking at the DAC does not necessarily correct for all/any errors related to jitter that co... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? It seems to me that this is more of an issue with data loss than it is with timing errors, although I have read in other threads RE transport quality that re-clocking can only go so far, and that the more conservative the initial translation and t... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Mapman, are you saying digital signals in a coax cable for example are harder to mess with than pure analog signals, and so theoretically the cable construction should have less impact on the resulting sound? I.E. It is harder to mess up coded and... | |
| The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth Just taking a shot in the (very) dark here, but isn't it likely that in practice it is the amplitude of the resulting resonances in the tone arm/cartridge/room/speaker system that are at least as critical as the resonant frequency itself? Such tha... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? The fact that the original topic merits 6 pages of discussions verifies that this is an important issue in modern HiFi, and still very unsettled. The fact that it has morphed into a discussion about critically important implementation of somewhat ... | |
| How important is the transport when using a DAC? Thanks, I will explore. | |
| Recomendation on turntable for less than $1500 Ricardo, I think that is a wise choice. If it is convenient, take some of your favorite albums out to a dealer and listen to some of the new tables just to prove that you are not missing out. Even with unfamiliar gear and speakers, vinyl is such a... | |
| The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth What was the fairly purvasive "rumble filter" for on many pre amps, integrated and receivers from the phono dominated era? I have been concerned about this since I have a subwoofer that has no effective lower frequency cut off, volume just trails ... | |
| Recomendation on turntable for less than $1500 I tend to agree with the upgrade route as a viable option. I have a 150 mkII. I went out to listen to tables recently for possible replacement and decided that I would have to spend at least double what your budget is to see significant difference... | |
| How important is the transport when using a DAC? Thanks for the reply. There is no user controlable software in this playback really other than what's built into the receiver. It sees files on flash drive plugged directly into the back and if compatible, it plays them. Control of CDs is handled ... |
