| RCA vs optical cable? Distortion can be euphonic or detrimental. How it's done is practically infinite. Jitter is just another way.Not too hard to wrap your head around once you really think about it.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Byron,Very well put. Hyakawa would have smiled. You succinctly made it clear, to everyone here, what you meant by your use of the word. Personal agendas can give rise to tendencies to wander off the path.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Do you believe in Magic? I wonder what Hayakawa would say about all of this if he were still alive.It would probably go something like this:The symbol is NOT the thing symbolized.The map is NOT the territory.The word is NOT the thing.Classification, symbols, truth, contex... | |

| 2011 Mac Mini - Is SSD worth it? Al,You're the voice of reason with the patience of Job. It must be trying dealing with us mere mortals:-)All kidding aside, I'm finally getting the gist of what you're saying about all the internal noise that goes on inside anything electric. One ... | |

| Room treatment made me cry.......a little........ finally, finally you are getting afoot to live up to your moniker!:-) Reading your post it seems that you were "allnoise" so far!:-)All(reflected)noise, to be exact!:-) | |
| Room treatment made me cry.......a little........ Just wanted to report back on what I've experienced.Crimony!Better focus and a loss of smear I didn't think I had. I'm able to hear deeper into the recordings. And all of this from a wool blanket draped over my widescreen TV and stand, which then ... | |
| Room treatment made me cry.......a little........ Lloydc,Thanks for the tip re: quilt over the TV set. I was told that putting a diffuser panel in front of my TV would make a world of difference but never got around to purchasing one as it would have to be about 4' sq. to cover the TV and stand.T... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Bryon,Your 'pigtails' have been used by others here in different forms. Anything from a homemade wire type collector to various retail products that claim to have a beneficial effect. I use a Dakiom device in the same manner. I don't believe it is... | |
| Equipment you just must get if you can Forget what I said earlier. Now that I have the Schiit Bifrost, I have no need for a bass augmenter. And the same goes for the Yamaha A-S2000 for the very same reasons. Quite the DAC, that Bifrost.What I'd like to have, instead, is the Mola Mola p... | |
| Room treatment made me cry.......a little........ Great to hear your response to what I've been advised to do for quite some time now. Emotional connections made from music go very deep. Maybe it's time now for me to buy some Kleenex. |
