| Why are digital streaming equipment manufacturers refusing to answer me? Some clarifications1) the fiber optic cable is what carries the signal. This provides even greater isolation than a cat cable, in fact as far as I know perfect isolation2) the double blind tests included four people not just myself including a dea... | |
| Rockwell: audiophile term "just like a pedophile" Geoffkait, the main issue i think is with the magazines which basically are posing as credible reviewers and experts when really they are glorified advertisers. I have listed numerous occasions where this was obvious. So sure, its a hobby based on... | |
| Rockwell: audiophile term "just like a pedophile" Viridian, my title is not out of context at all. I tried to make sure that I am not saying anything he isnt saying. That is why I said "audiophile term". This is accurate: he doesnt say audiophiles are like pedophiles, he is saying the term audiop... | |
| Rockwell: audiophile term "just like a pedophile" Minkwelder, that is exactly the absurd part: he is a photophile or whatever this would be called. So am I. Whats wrong with that. By the way, the "phile" part means "friend of" and does not denote an unhealthy affinity to something.Then again Jmcg... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? Interesting, I didn't try it after the source because I use both analogue and digital and wanted to avoid the extra switching. I wonder why that would make any difference if the claims of the manufacturer were accurate. The mystery continues! | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? Ron, although people do debate whether the effect is a good or a bad thing, it does seem to be a very noticeable one, certainly when trying at least 2 or 3 recordings. In my system I hear a lot of out of phase ambiance which makes it sound like I ... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? Bryon is right and it almost feels like one cant say anything that is not completely positive about the qol without becoming inundated with passionate responses which try to find flaw in that opinion. I find that amusing and of course one has to a... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? Hey Ozzy,The qol required me to add one Valhalla XLR. However, I don't think that matters at all since my comparison is not with and without qol, it is with qol on and on bypass. So the cable was always carrying signal and would have had its effec... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? Hi guys. I must also express surprise Teajay that you report small differences. I found the changes in my system to be quite significant although not necessarily for the better. It is indeed recording specific and one of the main differences is th... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? Ozzy, I am curious although not ready to insert it full time in the system. Setonaudio, agreed on the connections and I had noted the faceplate earlier. Also, I am pretty sure that US manufacturers are perfectly capable of producing this technolog... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? Ozzy,I want to make sure that your passionate support of this product doesnt end up giving the wrong impression by putting words in my mouth.-I didnt say that I was "disappointed" by the product. Instead, I listed my subjective listening experienc... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? correction: I was not suggesting that the quality of the electronics is lower than that found in a pioneer, that was a typo. Just that there isnt much there and therefore that the cost of this must be quite low. That is a good thing obviously if t... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? I have been listening to the QOL for a week in my system. For details on the system pls see the audiogon systems section. The QOL is set up after preamp and before amps via xlr connections. Here are some subjective and objective observations (gene... | |
| Kondo, Zanden, CJ, Ref 5? Pre w/ Pure Tonal Color? Lloyd, yes please let me know.I would then try Kondo. Really worth a try if you are ok with some sonic signature. | |
| Preamp or Not There are electrical reasons which make a preamp the better choice for most amps out there. I will try to elaborate some other time. However for your cable question, it is worth trying xlrs to see what is going on. It sounds more likely, however, ... |
