| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC @immatthewj It seems to me there are are very few things in audio that are NOT susceptible to YMMV. | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC @immatthewj I've been told both: that an adapter is bad and that it makes no difference. I'm getting a different one in a few days. It will be interesting to hear if they sound different. I'm not fundamentally opposed to getting my cable retermi... | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC @audphile1 My guy at The Cable Co.suggested I try gently bending the "leaves" inside the male rca barrel inward and doing so, I was able to get the connection seated without slipping off. Ideally, I'd like it to be tighter and I may experiment f... | |
| Equipemnt to Music to Lyrics @larsman Some artists' lyrics are so good that they can stand on their own just fine even without music. Seems like the only way to validate this would be to read song lyrics off the page without having heard the song. I suspect relatively ... | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC @audphile1 Agreed -- it would be foolish to give up right away on the DAC due to this issue. BTW, Synergistic quoted me $150 for retermination. Still waiting to hear about turnaround time. I emailed Black Cat and they said they're no longer... | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC @audphile1 To be honest, it never occurred to me to try it on the analog outputs, as that wasn’t what I would be using. Note that when @mitch2 looked at his Mojo Mystique XSE, he said "The digital S/PDIF rca jack looks different". I can’t see a... | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC @audphile1 , @mitch2 Because I've run into a situation where the barrels on an rca IC pair didn't fit the Jacks on my Hegel H390 (several other cables fit just fine), I'm inclined to give the dac builder the benefit of the doubt but I can't defi... | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC @audphile1 ... or getting the cable reterminated. I reached out to Synergistic but they haven’t responded yet. Regarding the poor fit, the interior dimension of the barrel of the male rca end of the adapter is too big compared to the exterior o... | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC Both the DAC and the Cardas adapter arrived today. I was excited to hook up everything, only to quickly realize the Cardas adapter is way too big for the RCA input on back of the DAC. Given the cost of audio gear and what a pain it can be to a... | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @slaw Yes --I've listened to them some on spotify. I don't know how to categorize them, though... | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC Wow-- sorry for my inattention. I had no idea so many had responded. I hope you’ll forgive me not responding to every response, individually. I received pneumonia and shingles shots yesterday and am not "feeling up to par" (my hair’s no longer lo... | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? Freddie King opening for Elvin Bishop (if you think it should’ve been the other around, I agree). I was in high school -- it was either ’73 or ’74. That was some of the most intense Blues guitar playing I’ve witnessed in person, culminating in "Go... | |
| A great singer you may have never heard, or even heard of. Since this thread is turning toward recommending singers, I'll once again suggest two superb Jazz singers I never see mentioned on the forum: Tina May and Jackie Ryan. | |
