| The invention of measurements and perception Actually, jitter is a problem just not the only problem. Industry knew it was a problem in the very early days, there was a lot of discussion on how much was too much. The fact is, the best jitter removal back then was not enough.There are nu... | |
| New $24,000 inter-connect @jhills - You are absolutely correct. I do believe that is the reason for so many naysayers - no science to back up what you hear implies marketing hype. And, there is plenty of that to go around in this industry. | |
| New $24,000 inter-connect Well, keep in mind what a billionaire told me - never try to outbid a billionaire in an auction. It was at a charity auction. I kept bidding and kept losing every bid. After the auction, he came over and thanked me. I said, "For what, I didn... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Yep, back in the day, we used to say "garbage in, garbage out". Today, we have not only that but we also have far better equipment to hear that garbage. | |
| The invention of measurements and perception I am not sure what you are asking - can you clarify the discussion issue? As for designing the measurements, once the amplifier or speaker designer has something in mind to improve the sound, it isn't too hard to create a measurement plan to quan... | |
| Question about speaker configuration with current preamp/amp I find it hard to believe the Mark Levinson would need the standard setting since that monster should have oodles of available current. My suggestion is to experiment with both and see which setting you prefer. Remember, once the math is done, ... | |
| Vibration Meter..... Can you tell how accurate the app is on your phone? If it is repeatable and linear, you can use it for relative measurements rather than absolute ones. Relative measurements should be fairly accurate. I'd be real suspect of absolute measuremen... | |
| Off grid digital music I had some horrible internet issues here at the house. Although we live in an urban area, the local DSL provider gave lousy service and was getting worse week by week. Until we got a new service, I was able to get T-Mobile to setup my cell pho... | |
| Help me decide on phono preamp I believe Agrippa is right. Save up to make a really good preamp purchase. The smaller the signal, the more impact good quality electronics will have. The signal doesn't get much smaller than phono! | |
| Amp experience @kfz03110: After rereading your original post, I realize what you are really asking about is the crest factor of music. Crest factor is a term used in physics to define the maximum ratio of RMS voltage to peak voltage. For example, for a pure ... | |
| WANTED - Infinity Quantum Line Soure One, QLS1, Q1's That was one heck of a speaker! Good luck finding one. | |
| Do USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 use the same power BUS? USB 3.0 is compatible with USB 2.0. So, you can plug 2.0 into 3.0 and it will work properly. 3.0 however, gives the designer a lot more power options, up to 100W of power transfer. Here is a good description of USB 3.0 power: https://www.all... | |
| A problem with AC Power you may not have considered. That Furman is a good looking unit, I'd buy it if I had $3100 to spend on line isolation and conditioning. At least it has very good specs! | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @jea48 - "Well designed" what does that mean? If you look at the power cords out there, they all have widely differing design concepts. If you had a power cord that intrinsically attenuated noise say 40+ dB from 30KHz out to 1 GHz while havi... | |
| Amp experience kosst_amojan - I know how logs work, what I don't know is whether ktz03110 does. Consider this, the 10*log(10) of 20 is 13 dB, 10*log(10) of 200 is 23 dB. That an increase of 10:1 in power. Another way to look at it is if music is running 20W... |
