| max length of toslink or coaxial digital cable without signal degradation? Optical works great over long distances. What matters is the jitter rejection capability of what you put at the other end. | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable “lying or perpetrating some kind of fraud or hoax based on directionality? Come on, people!! It’s certainly can not (rpt not) be financial gain, I seriously doubt any of the Big Players, you know, like Audioquest, HiFi Tuning, Anti Cables, Goertz,... | |
| Is an Async DAC Needed to Reduce Jitter when playing CDs? Of course you need it. The digital interface is always jittery whatever the source. | |
| Cable Snake Oil Antidote @geoffkait It doesn’t matter how a 1 or a 0 is represented on a CD. Only that two states can be accurately decoded and that some built in error correction (extra info like a parity bit or checksum) further ensures accuracy of decoding. This might ... | |
| Just starting to look for 4K Bluray player I have had the Samsung K8500 for a couple of years. Works great but I couldn’t get ARC from my 4K TV to work with my receiver so I use the second HDMI out from the BDP to the receiver. Unfortunately in some cases this leads to audio sync issues wh... | |
| James Brown Start with Star Time box set as excellent sample of his early career (6 discs) Two particularly good CD is Motherlode and The Payback.Try also the J.B.s Monorail - amazing jam albumJames Brown simply doesn’t fit on one CD. Incredibly prolific. | |
| Cable Snake Oil Antidote @geoffkait No theory. Just facts. DNA is in all living things. This is what all plants and animals share in common. Pretty obvious really. DNA is what fundamentally replicates. As obvious as the earth goes round the sun. Just not as exciting as a... | |

| Cable Snake Oil Antidote @cj1965 I don’t understand you. James Brown said it correctly, “It is what it is”There are no answers to silly questions that have no place in mathematics and physics. As as it stands DNA seems the most likely candidate for what we think of as “li... | |
| Neil Young - Guitarist @bdp24 I totally get where you are coming from. Although I shake my head in awe listening to Vinnie Caliuta or Danny Carey - as these guys are insane. I prefer a more musical passionate and approachable style that fits tightly with the band and th... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable The onus of proof is on those with wild ridiculous claims. You can’t expect intelligent folks to actually waste time debunking all the wacky audio theories expounded by yourself and others here. As it stands, there are more wacky theories per day ... | |
| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? Ethernet cables make equally as much difference as other high end cables. Zilch. Nada. Of course that presupposes you have half decent components. If you have flakey finicky boutique audio then even your type of home refrigerator will make an audi... | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). If your components are lousy it might help. Otherwise your component power supplies should do an excellent job of filtering out mains and EM noise from the AC power. A power supply (if any good) is already supposed to do what you are trying to do ... | |
| Cable Snake Oil Antidote No argument. Audio signals and power are alternating but I thought you knew that. This means no directionality in wire or nothing electrical would work properly as everything arrives alternating on wires. |
