| Synergistic Red Fuse ... My point is that not everything that exists or existed will affect the audio signal in a meaningful way. Simple existence of acid rain does not mean we need to be concerned about it for audio reproduction of music. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Lol. Quantum mechanics is real and so are many mind boggling things like black holes. Naysayers do not deny them. Quantum mechanics plays a role in junctions in transistors. However, there is absolutely no evidence that these things play any meani... | |
| Has anyone found Audio Nirvana? To go to Audio Nirvana you must be holding your remote control, vinyl anti-static brush or headphones or any of your favorite audio tools of the trade in your hand when you die. | |
| Focal Scala Utopia V1 vs Competition in 2017 I think it is better value than anything from Wilson or B&W at that price. Similar type sound but as I recall I think they image extremely well.The bass driver was updated in later models - you may be able to do that too. | |
| Preamps with two main-outs +1 Allooks like you found it! Nevertheless an active amplifier works as specified with input impedance as stated when powered up - I am not sure what happens to the input buffering on all amps when switched off - probably most remain high impedanc... | |
| Denafrips Terminator R2R Multibit, ultimate pcm redbook converter?? @teo_audio Just because there are many bad sounding (screeching as you put it) Delta Sigma DACs does not mean that none of them are any good.The latest Delta-sigmas use multiple 1 bit converters to achieve the same as a 6 bit R2R DAC. You can unde... | |
| Preamps with two main-outs This is quite normal. The input of the amplifiers are active components and need to be switched on to do their job. Obviously when one amp is switched off it is providing low resistance to ground (or frequency dependent resistance) and affecting t... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... iQSE.....Yes Jack Bybee has discovered entire new branches of physics. He has an Active Room Neutralizer that plugs into the AC power and resonates the air molecules in the room such that it allows the transmission of sound without the usual time ... | |
| $10k DAC in a 3k system? @ricred1 +1Power supply design sign is very important especially if you want to avoid power conditioners, fuses, after market power cords and all kinds band aids. (Another discussion for another time might be why high end boutique manufacturers so... | |
| If bi-amping is so great, why do some high end speakers not support it? @kalali No not deaf. However for those few seeking audiophile high quality sound (through biamping and all manner of extra tweaks and high end gear) might simply consider the hypocracy of using 2nd rate cheap RCA interconnect approach for line lev... | |
| If bi-amping is so great, why do some high end speakers not support it? @kosst_amojan sorry to break any sacred cows but RCA uses ground as a wire - so no shieldyou obviously have not used a multitude of equipment as you would have observed first hand that XLR always has less hum or RF noise or ground loop hiss.RCA i... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... "Anyone who is building “high-end” products that are limited by power supply performance should find a different business."Quote above from reputable audio equipment manufacturerFor audiophiles that need special power cords or fuses, the above sta... | |

| Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil Toilet paper rolls or balloons would be equally effective as $200 elevators. However, people will just laugh at the audiophile as a complete nutjob. The advantage of ceramic cable elevators (similar to what is used in electrical power distribution... | |
| $10k DAC in a 3k system? +1 Al Most speakers use cheap parts in an aesthetic box. The Aesthetic look is what sells. Very few companies put a lot of $ into the drivers and fewer still actually make anything themselves except the crossover and box. Speakers are much more a ... |
