| Sam here.l realize now why so many people think my ideas are crazy? @flatbackground - Ya long haired lout!(enjoyed your comment, nearly as much as I approve of your ACDC album in your system page - so yeah, I can imagine you having a non-sexually frustrated, hyper aware, ultra sensitive experience listening to y... | |
| USB sucks A good friend just purchased an Auralic Aries G1, which Johnny Darko reviews in the link below. It’s connected via USB, the same brand of USB cables that I used to build. This may be my next purchase actually - yes it’s still got USB, as well as T... | |
| USB sucks @ antigrunge2 - Thank you, I am actually currently looking into technologies that enhances connections. I do agree that oxidization is certainly an area which needs to be addressed in connections, especially for example copper.Still, there’s nothi... | |
| USB sucks @ lalitk1 - Of course I meant to type PLAYBACK, not payback... hahaha a Freudian slip ( parapraxis ) perhaps..hahaha | |
| USB sucks @ubrwaltz - most everything I am reading now in forums (I use a PC based platform as a music server) is that Ethernet does resolve better than USB for the purposes of digital audio. My next DAC purchase is most probably going to use that method in... | |
| USB sucks I'll get flamed for this I'm sure.On the USB A connector, the flatter rectangular one, on the top side I use my thumb to give it a little depression to better "clamp" the conductors against the terminal. Obviously there is not much one can do for ... | |
| USB sucks I just returned to civilization from a trip to Yellowstone National Park with my wife on our wedding anniversary. Managed to see my first wild bear, well a mum and three cubs playing in the water together. In my travels I've always said every coun... | |
| USB sucks +1 lokeI didn't mention also the DC power in USB, if it can be made more linear with less jitter, there are reports this can also make for better transfer of data.Some customers completely lifted the DC from the source and used a linear power supp... | |
| USB sucks Why some USB cables are better is due to better edge detection on an analogue square wave. Well of course it’s not perfectly square, just as a sign wave from a power station isn’t a perfect sinusoidal wave.My qualification is that I am an Instrume... | |
| What have you been working on in 2020? Hoping to turn a pile of cherry wood planks of 1/2" and 1/4" that I milled and joined into something resembling quadratic diffusers before 2021. It’s only taken 6 months (as my eyes roll at how much work it was that I wasn’t prepared for)!Got insi... | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? @squeak_king_77 - thanks for posting that info on the carpet discs.@mitch2 - your system page look great. Is that a woolen rug on your wall behind the speakers? Did it make a reasonably significant difference in room sound?I was thinking of doing ... | |
| An EXPERIMENT for those who have never heard differences in cables It's hard to believe, for that matter. Maybe, but if you know that different dielectrics have an effect on an alternating current's presentation. You may be aware that a rising and falling electrical field also creates a magnetic field, and that... | |
| An EXPERIMENT for those who have never heard differences in cables @guy-incognito - Yeah... No.It's another technology from another source, nothing to do with Tekton.Unless you were being cheeky, and yeah I guess it was kinda funny. millercarbon is smitten, which is always fun, you know to discover something that... | |

| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? pinwa, honestly I have no idea what a heavy duty eva pad will do.Unless someone in here has done it, I know I haven’t. Springs offer a broad frequency range isolation, with high amplitude isolation as well, and they are used quite literally everyw... |
