| Mytek Brooklyn overkill? @luxmanc38 The RME is indeed excellent, and very functional. | |
| Mytek Brooklyn overkill? What’s the rest of your system? If you room is treated and have $50,000 speakers, then a $2200 DAC may not be overkill (though I would recommend the Benchmark DAC3 or Chord Qutest). Some people may argue, but the audible differences between a $2... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @elizabeth The wave form hits the point in space.. how long does it take to touch pass and leave that point. It cannot be instantaneous.. it takes time. how much time? no one cares?? is it spending a lot of time there from start to finish. or fas... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @elizabth Changing the waveform’s “speed” is thus changing the frequency of the wave. Now, even though the US power grid is 60Hz, there is of course some allowed deviation, and there is deviation within our home’s wiring too. Clocks in microwave... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @jea48 I don’t have a subscription to access AES papers, so nothing 100% credible, but here are some measurements of RCA cables. Of course it’s not Nordost Odin 2 or anything that ridicoulous. As for the stereo crosstalk, keep in mind even the wo... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @elizabeth the treble has more clarity. easier to understand female vocals, hear cymbals clearly, massed violins sound as a group of separate instruments, not just some clump of noise So less distortion and lower noise? @jea48 Are you unaware t... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @jea48 “Fullness” is a meaningless term, so not sure (do you mean deep bass?). Timbre is harmonics, so that’s easy. However, no solid state amp should have timbre anyway, it should only output what the input signal dictates. However all amps hav... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @elizabeth If I can easily show that the sound coming out of your speakers is still the same regardless of “upgrading” power cords, what argument would the “believers” have then? | |
| DAC chips The “hump” is for IMD and between -20dBFS and -40dBFS. It peaks around -70dB to -75dB at -30dBFS. At -20dBFS it is at around -80dB, which makes it -100dBFS, at -30dBFS is also is around -100dBFS. Unless my reasoning is wrong, that means it’s well... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @stevecharm My question is still if anyone can validate @mrdecible’s claims that “upgrading” power cords makes the tweeters extend higher, woofers extend deeper, etc. | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @nonoise The reason people saw it differently is not a display white-balance error, but if people thought it was in a store with Daylight lightning or 2700K-3000K lighting, illustrative comparison. Not sure if you’ve seen this optical illusion, I... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @nonoise I was on my phone and fell asleep to people reacting to what they see/saw, fell asleep, woke up, and I saw it differently, and never changed back to the incorrect colors no matter when/how I saw it. I really was freaky, as I was most pos... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @gpgr4blu There may be numerous ways, but I would like you to pick one that doesn’t deal with mains leakage or EMI and explain how a power cable improves it (such as the stated extending of treble response). I would also recommend emailing any of... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @nonoise @elizabeth I’m not aiming to tell anyone who bought a $550 AudioQuest Diamond Toslink cable to return it and get an AmazonBasics one. As I’ve continually stated, I don’t care if you can hear a difference, if you feel a $200 power cord mak... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @nonoise We are talking electrical differences by using a “better” power cord, if such a thing worked, the output of the device would be different. I won’t even argue audible differences, if anyone can show measured differences between power cord... |
