| The Midnight Effect - Who-How? @barts — good points. I wouldn’t disagree but I would counter slightly with the observation that a constant seems to be the hour of the day at which the effect “switches on”. I haven’t done anything remotely scientific to verify this, but it seems... | |
| Ethernet cables Any thoughts on shielded versus unshielded for Ethernet? I went 'inexpensive' and bought all BlueJeans ethernet cables a few months back, then watched something on YouTube from a face that said Ethernet cables have to have a good screen and it sh... | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. Rossini Player/clock sounds very good, particularly when used as a network player via Ethernet. Yes it's expensive but it can also make other expensive boxes redundant, thus offsetting the cost. (No longer need my Aurender N10, and Sonore UltraDig... | |
| The Midnight Effect - Who-How? @benanders You said: One thing that hasn’t come up is temporal variation in atmospheric pressure, with resistance purportedly reduced in the wee hours. Why do birds call most actively in calm dawn air?… Okay, well that’s new and interesting.... | |
| The Midnight Effect - Who-How? @toddalin Maybe that's part of it (volume). I do know that during longer listening sessions my tolerance and desire for higher volume increases. I do think this 'midnight effect' exists and I'm resigned to believing it's an external power phenome... | |
| Searching for a little more warmth I heard Audio Note and ProAc speakers at the same dealer in northern Virginia and liked them both, but felt the ProAcs had more life and energy, with the Audio Notes sounding laid back in comparison. Both fell on the warmer side of neutral. My Pro... | |
| The Midnight Effect - Who-How? @asvjerry Alcohol? ...how.....Quaint.... ;) You haven’t seen my still. | |
| The Midnight Effect - Who-How? I’m a bit surprised by the distribution of comments - there’s more pushback against the actual concept of the “midnight effect” than I expected. I thought it was a given that most, if not all people would have experienced this and I expected the c... | |
| The Midnight Effect - Who-How? I’m racking my brains but I can’t think of anything that happens automatically in the house at or around midnight. We’re pretty low tech. But this isn’t something I’m observing that’s peculiar to this location, I’ve heard it at other places I’ve l... | |
| The Midnight Effect - Who-How? @toddalin source primarily is files played back from a local hard drive which is plugged into a SGC i5 (like a NUC), wired into a switch then the switch wired (Ethernet) to a network player/DAC. I don’t stream much from the internet, just for samp... | |
| Help Connecting Computer To 2-Channel Rig For Video @elliottbnewcombjr That's exactly what I needed, thanks! | |
| The Midnight Effect - Who-How? @tomic601 Honestly I'm embarrassed to say it but no, I don't have a dedicated line to the listening room. It's something I've thought about doing frequently but just haven't gotten around to it. Though....I'm skeptical about the potential benefits... | |
| The Midnight Effect - Who-How? @knittersspouse okay that’s very interesting information. I hadn’t thought about electricity coming from different sources and each source carrying with it a certain type of “distortion”. That right there could be the answer I’m looking for. Skept... | |
| The Midnight Effect - Who-How? @tomic601 You missed my comment about measuring you ambient noise floor at various times….. that’s ok….most audiophiles lack an SPL meter for level matching and other essential tasks….. I caught your comment. It’s a valid enough point but I don... | |
| The Midnight Effect - Who-How? @whart PPS: I took a quick look at the PS Audio forum and there seems to be some suggestion that its regenerators are still susceptible to certain forms of noise. One user, John H, was a frequent contributor to those discussions. I wasn’t awa... |
