| I've Just Learned What Amplfier Bias Is... Horrible thread. Bias is simply voltage, e.g. a difference in electric potential, required to make a circuit or component function. A transistor requires a bias voltage to function properly. But so does a diode. And that is specified according... | |
| Looking for recommendations for a 'warm' sounding DAC After a long declutter operation of ripping all my CDs and then recycling the jewel cases and putting the actual CDs into storage, I went further to detach a computer from the entire chain. I relinquished myself and sanity to the streaming servic... | |
| Can anyone explain in laymans terms why your gear sound better after warm up Wow, everyone ran straight past the teachable moment. In person, I would have stopped you on "light bulb". Will keep everything to an observation based explanation except for one ending point.Decades ago, I worked in an academic facility where i... | |
| Can I cheat and not get caught? shielded bare wire or dremel. the fewer contact point in a chain the better. 10 awg copper is very nice but dremel is easier considering your investment. keep in mind if the spades are 'coated' in gold, you'll be drilling that off as part of yo... | |
| Is grounding with RCA is safe? Hello OP, Please unplug that. Further reading will give reasons why, but unnecessary. I would be hesitant to sound a whistle on an otherwise lively discussion, but we have essentially anonymous posters making reckless assertions having nothing ... | |
| Mmmm Crow tastes good... I just listen to a sub without any other speakers from time to time just to remember what day-to-day living in my NYC condo sounded like. | |
| Romex to your amp? For the sake of any posters within the U.S. who have other dwellers in your listening perimeter, especially younger ones, I would suggest running these "ideas" past a licensed electrician before running to Home Depot. It will be worth the $200 fo... | |
| SCAM ALERT ON MULTIPLE CRAIGS LISTS - Watch Out! A scam on Craigslist. Lol. | |
| Analog room correction for vinyl Analog correction for vinyl is a listening party. I'm sure most collectors see the countless albums with names written on the covers. Attempting to continually improve the visual soap opera effect on B&W Godzilla movies just to see the wires... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? Gas car? Electric car?Unless the listeners ears are between 17 and 25 in biological age every nuance of difference even in CNO systems is impossible to convey. The actual population discussing this will talk about jitter or filter harshness or w... | |
| Network Switches The elephant in this room seems to be a simple question: If we are focusing on Internet sourced streaming fidelity, how do these “audiophile switches” compare to directly connecting to your modem and unplugging/disabling all other devices on your... | |
| Network Switches I would first want to upgrade the power supplies and swap low EMF nu-blu LEDs. | |
| Do we really need anything greater than 24/96? Opinions? so true. If you want a valid opinion on true sonic quality, ask someone who is 20 years old who hates the music rather than someone who is 40+ and knows every version, release and master. hearing acuity is usually inversely proportional to the i... | |
| Interconnect Directionality So the simple issue is that current flowing in one direction on a simple pure conductor meets a different resistance if that same amount of current flows in the opposite direction (over the same conductor). And the hypothesis continues that it is... | |
| How many of you believe in MQA? Hello Larry,I do own a Project Pre Box S2. Since Feb. I also use Tidal HiFi. I "hear" a difference between the single unfold and the full unfold (which makes the Pre Box show a blue indicator). There are several settings that need to be correc... |
