| Cabinet resonance problem with Marantz MM9340 amplifier @fiesta75 - Well, I can call them, but it is out of warranty, so it would be at my expense. At 80 lbs, freight & insurance won't be cheap. The thing is, I am sure they will say "It meets specs, nothing wrong with it". There is nothing in th... | |
| Are Your Ears Good? Simple Test For Your Ears I think one must listen to a mono recording for this to be a valid test. | |
| UHD players, LG vs. Panasonic and Dolby Vision Check on the warranty for sure. A lot of video players have had rather poor reliability these days, even from brand names. I haven't found any benefit using Samsung BluRay player and a Samsung TV, they act like individual components and have n... | |
| Go Cat8! Magnesium connectors? That is interesting. | |
| Isotek sequel and ifi power conditioner/amp Try it both ways and trust your ears. In general I start with the better cords closest to the audio gear rather than the power gear. | |
| Help understanding the digital signal for audio You are asking two different questions. First, the processing of the digital out from the Node is performed by the DAC. This means the digital signal is converted into an analog form suitable for hearing. Some DACs perform jitter reduction and... | |
| An excellent paper on routing cables to avoid interaction and noise injection. @rodman99999 I believe you are right. I seem to remember it had a 100Vrms output or something like that when I bought the unit. The Stax chassis is aluminum, so magnetic lines will pass right through it. I thought about covering the inside of ... | |
| An excellent paper on routing cables to avoid interaction and noise injection. @millercarbon - right, but if you want to get your hum levels down to below 70 -75 dB, you will need to do more than just set wires a few inches apart. Your comment is not informed, it is just biased, and incomplete. @rodman99999 - Apparently, t... | |
| Hana Umami Red vs Dynavector xv-1s So what does it sound like? All I hear is how great it sounds but I never hear exactly what it sounds like. Is it smooth, is it best for rock, classical, jazz, etc. | |
| An excellent paper on routing cables to avoid interaction and noise injection. @millercarbon - if you want to scrape the last vestige of hum out of your system, you will need to do a LOT more than "keep them all a few inches apart." You do need to read the paper if you think that is all there is to it. | |
| Any recommendations for aftermarket C-7 power cord for Bluesound Node 2i I put Pangea C7 on both my Node2's and Vault2. I didn't hear any difference with it but I have to say I do like the build quality and the cosmetics are very nice. It ended up being a good WAF so I quit looking at power cords after that. | |
| Should I upgrade my TT wiring? Or spend $500 on a new turntable.... Seriously, unless you are in love with the TT, the $100 is 1/5 the cost of a new and quality turntable. | |
| The Private History of an Experiment that Failed (with apologies to Mark Twain) It might be time to look outside the box, so to speak. From what I read in your post, it appears you were diligent about details. I had a BDP-1 in my system for a while and I really liked the musical sound it produced. I never experienced any... | |
| Wyred4sound I can't answer your question but I did upgrade their old DAC to the top end flavor with the Fempto clock and that was pretty amazing. W4S makes some good stuff and they are easy to work with. if it is in your budget, and the upgrade makes sens... | |
| Streaming Spotify Too answer your question in a very general sense - Phone DAC - if you can, definitely move to a high end DAC over the one in your phone. Keep in mind it mpeg music is what the phone designers figured would be the most common format. Bypass P... |
