| Why do AC cords make so much difference? Sean,If you are right about the power filter/conditioners that are currently available then this would be a great opportunity for an enterprising entrepreneur to come up with an audiophile grade filter and make a killing in the market.I think the ... | |
| The truth about interconnects - can you handle it? Oh, one more point. It is critical to know how much of a change in any electrical parameter is required before you can detect a difference in the sound. Of course this will vary from one system to another, and from one pair of ears to the next; bu... | |
| The truth about interconnects - can you handle it? I do believe that interconnects affect the sound, but the effects are due to the rational, measurable effects of the electrical characteristics of the cables on the signal. Every cable has it’s own R/L/C characteristics. These characteristics affe... | |
| Why do AC cords make so much difference? Audioengr,I love your calculations and I think your intentions are good, but unfortunately -1) Capacitor banks in power supplies are designed to handle transients at peak power levels. At normal listening levels only a fraction of that capacity is... | |
| The truth about interconnects - can you handle it? Re: http://www.audioholics.com/techtips/audioprinciples/interconnects/Hifi-theMiraculousInvention.htmlI find it astonishing that double blind tests are totaly absent from discussion on cable forums, even prohibited on some!!! What gets me the most... | |
| The truth about interconnects - can you handle it? Here is another page from the same site:http://www.audioholics.com/techtips/audioprinciples/interconnects/Hifi-theMiraculousInvention.htmlCan you honestly find fault with what is said on this page? | |
| The truth about interconnects - can you handle it? I didn't think so. Audioholics anonymous anyone? | |

| Do Transports Matter??? Now where did I put that can of paint labeled 'transparent, clear, with a deep sound stage'? | |
| Do Transports Matter??? It is normal for people to believe their senses instead of science. After all, there is a lot of historical precedent along these lines. I can imagine the frustration that Aristotle must have felt, after realizing the world was round, as he tried ... | |
| Do Transports Matter??? You know, I half expect to hear someone say that they can hear a difference in the sound of a cd after rapidly shaking the cd before puting it into the CDP. | |
| Do Transports Matter??? Mejames,I'm afraid you are right. This forum may not be the right place to espouse science and engineering. Some people just don’t believe in such things.If you look at my first post in this thread you will see the following sentence: “If someone ... | |
| Do Transports Matter??? Mejames,I've heard that painting you room a different color also improves the sound. Have you tried that?For anyone who is interested in the engineering principles behind DACS (as opposed to VooDoo engineering) here is a link to a great website:ht... | |
| Do Transports Matter??? Oh PLEASE!!! Now I've heard it all! The AC cord on the transport makes a difference???The ONLY thing that makes a difference is the stability of the clock/power/ground at the last digital element prior to the actual D-to-A. (I'm talking downstream... |
