RCA cable design
The signal is in the cable. Both conductors, the insulation, the connectors at each end. Every bit of it. 
Transducers like ECT from Synergistic Research
Everywhere. Like my post above says there are only 2 places they haven’t made a nice improvement. All the other places they work about the same. This includes being stuck somewhere on the outside vs being stuck on a cap or board inside. It seemed ... 
Newbie to the awesome audiophile world
MC - maybe good for you to watch as well: Hilarious. Why people keep getting sucked into this pretentious noobs video is beyond me. I thought by now people know comments disabled translates to- "Warning: Video contains indefensible misleading BS". 
Newbie to the awesome audiophile world
Sorry Millercarbon. Crazy to spend 25% of a $2000 budget on wire. Infinitely better spent on active components at this level where another $500 can buy you big improvements. Said the guy who has never been paid to actually put together a syst... 
DIY interconnect just arrived ~~navships~~, true High Fidelity
Good plan. Because the last guy who tried a shootout never recovered.  
o.k anybody know anything about shm-cd they claim there indistinguishable from the master?
CDs are digital. Digital is perfect. Has been since inception. Why would you even need to hear the actual sound? Can't you just look at the bitstream and see its identical? So of course they are indistinguishable. Duh. The question is, do they sou... 
Musings from old school on High Fidelity
JGH earned great credit for his massive contributions over the years but his comments in this (very old) interview haven’t aged very well. High end audio has always been and always will be a tiny niche market, but if it was dying 30 years ago (or ... 
... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound...
The reason why power cords (and everything else) works has already been clearly explained. I did so in a post deliberately put up on April 1st for maximum trigger effect. In spite of the date it was a totally serious post. Look it up. If you're se... 
Very best sounding Vinyl
aj523,Sound quality on vinyl is very complicated. At first glance the BR concept seems preposterous. Anyone buying vinyl has come across some that are noisier than others, sometimes so bad they get a refund or replacement. Happens a lot. Almost al... 
Phono Preamp. With transformer or fully active
All these problems and limitations are out there and known, and that is why I have made the decision to not mess with them. Yes even knowing this means passing up the chance at discovering audio nirvana. The magic combination. Hats off to those wh... 
Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry?
That’s a double-entendre, by the way. "The rest" can mean everything else. But rest can also mean relaxation. Pause. Surcease. To sleep. Perchance to dream? 
Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry?
Building cables is just like everything else. I worry that by everything else people think I mean audio. But no. I mean everything else. Its all the same. Take cars. Pretty much all cars have four wheels. Nice and stable. They tend to all look the... 
SubTropolis
Your boss made digital copies of vintage vinyl and "man do they sound good." Today you're doing nothing but complaining about how digital doesn't have the sound of vintage vinyl. When you had the answer all along: find out what your boss used, and... 
Legacy Aeris vs Tekton Ulfberht vs Triton Reference
Size difference to me seems an insignificant few inches here or there. Compare dims they are pretty close. My impression is the top three are close enough electronics matter more and so you would have to have them side by side in the same system, ... 
I have only come here seeking knowledge...
Ground hum problems usually come down to trial and error, methodically checking every connection in the signal path, and then also everything connected to the system even not in the signal path. Notice I said everything connected to the system. Si...
