| Pure Silver Wire @carlsbad2 digital signals are 1s and 0s so lows and highs are transmitted equally Strictly, digital 1s and 0s are interpreted from analog waveforms approximating square waves. Picking the leading edge is important from a jitter perspective.... | |
| «40% Of Audiophiles Are Dying And No One Is Doing Anything About It!» When stereo was first released, the naysayers claimed people would not spend nearly double what a mono system cost, just for better sound. Now many audiophiles are locked into 2-channel sound when the rest of the affluent world has multi-channel ... | |
| Directional wires/cables @rodman99999 Thanks, your reference https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/video-tutorials/applications-of-sinusoidal-signals/ has a nice illustration of what I described as square wave wobbles - relevant for digital signals. This article explains an... | |
| I feel for you @tomic601 I had to look Enrico up to confirm my suspicion! Apparently, he got interested in physics when he found an old maths/physics book written in Latin. I never understood why I had to pass Latin before being allowed to study Physics at Cam... | |
| I feel for you @tomic601 see Enrico Fermi… and just why he and his wife fled Germany… he of course just a refugee immigrant… Enrico fled Italy, but for the same reasons he would have fled Germany had he lived there ... | |
| Removing stylus from Shure V15 Type III @lewm @ghdprentice I am convinced the Japanese vendor itsuwa-shop got confused about their Jico products. Their first response was "I checked with the supplier and they said it was correct ". I sent details gleaned from your posts plus screens... | |
| Directional wires/cables @rodman99999 Were it the DC voltage/current, from an amp's power supply, modulated by the amp's output devices, into an amplified musical signal; it would appear much more complex, but: still a sinusoidal wave The musical signal is more than ... | |
| Directional wires/cables @jea48 I think the answer is instantly. The switch is opened, Games over. This was in response to what happens when a light is switched off, and of course the answer given is so wrong on so many levels! When the light is on, it is because po... | |
| Directional wires/cables @herman The AC signal that is transferring energy from the source to the load (amp to speaker for example) is NOT doing so by moving electrons from the source to the load. Electrons are NOT flowing down the wire like water through a hose. Think... | |
| DAC break-in question @audphile1 The analog stage is on but there will be no signal on the analog outs from the DAC if the amp the DAC is connected to is off. Surely the analog out will carry the output signal, presented as a voltage? This will be a line-level si... | |
| Directional wires/cables Stereo equipment is DC, which is a directional current Of all the stuff written here, this I follow the least, but there are plenty of other contenders! DC refers to Direct Current, that is to say it only flows in one direction. Sure, our equ... | |
| I should start with speakers. This I know. I’d like to establish a new system. If I was starting from scratch, and just wanted streaming, i'd look at active speakers from KEF. Then you won't have to worry about bi- or tri-amplification, interconnect cables, speaker cables or much else. Because they approximate point source... | |
| Removing stylus from Shure V15 Type III @lewm Thanks for your help. The more I think about this, the more I am convinced that 192-VN35E refers to the shape of the cartridge body and should specifically match the Shure V15 type III, which for me is correct. The added complexity comes... | |
| Removing stylus from Shure V15 Type III @ghdprentice Thanks, that has been really helpful! Looks to me as if the NUDE styli are available in three variations: NUDE Conical, NUDE Elliptical, and NUDE Mono. I am guessing the NUDE mono is for playing 78s and the other rwo have round a... | |
| Removing stylus from Shure V15 Type III The slow boat from Japan turned out to be a plane. My Jico stylus arrived just a week after ordering, but I am not sure it is the one I ordered. The order clearly states JICO 192-VN35E (SAS/B) but the packaging just says NUDE 192-VN35E and the i... |
