| Is DEQX a game changer? I have found that the DEQX does not degrade the signal from a vinyl source. | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Don't rush to dump your preamp. The DEQX is essentially transparent, so you can use them together if you like what the preamp adds to the sound of your system. | |
| Please help with the cable burner David Elrod once told me: Don't use those things on my cables. | |
| Metal "whiskers" on cartridge body If one of your old RCA's was ever played on an old 78 machine... | |
| Metal "whiskers" on cartridge body If you have old records, that's likely to be debris in the grooves that is dislodged by the stylus. | |
| Why blind listening tests are flawed Sciencecop, what particular audiophile nonsense are you referring to? There's so much to choose from. Are you saying that long tests are valid and short ones are not? I think they accomplish different things.I would differ with your opinion on per... | |
| Hearing Test There are good free apps for this on Itunes. That's how I picked up my own hearing loss. | |
| Why blind listening tests are flawed When doing A/B comparisons, its not necessary to do it blinded. What's important is to make the switches rapidly, because audible memory fades quickly. Multiple switches may be needed. If the results are not immediately obvious, it means that the ... | |
| Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin? "Thin" could mean a couple of things here. One possibility is that certain frequencies, most likely in the midrange and/or upper midbase, are being suppressed. Or, the highs and lows are being accentuated, if you prefer. Another possibility is tha... | |
| Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin? Q: "Psag when choosing equipment for your system how do you judge its worthiness for your home listening pleasure?"A: I listen to it. | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Drewan77, so you are taking the 'raw' digital data and converting it to analog, then feeding it to the DEQX, which then converts it back to digital for processing, etc. I do the same for CD/SACD. My CD/SACD player has digital out, but the analog o... | |
| Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin? I second what Cerrot is saying. It may sound good, but its not. Its analogous to what the best designers of audio components do: they listen AND they measure. They stay away from things that don't make sense, regardless of how they may sound. | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Drewan77 if you are using the HDP3, then you are utilizing its DAC. The device operates in the digital domain. The last step is digital to analogue conversion. | |
| Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin? People in audio often say 'trust your ears', as if that's the end of any and all arguments. I don't believe that to be the case. My priority has been to use components in such a way as to convey the signal as it was recorded. Once a cable affects ... | |
| Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin? I have had a similar recent experience with the latest and greatest Shunyata power cord. Thin. For the record, I would not run cables in series, ever. Cables are not tone controls. They are designed to present unaltered signal to the downstream co... |
