| Playback Designs Firmware Update Dcstep/Dave, I bet you are right - it can probably be voiced in a variety of areas - from upsampling algo to analog gain stage after DAC output, and several places between. I am surprised about the trumpet problems not being there, being there, th... | |
| Playback Designs Firmware Update I always wondered why high-end DACs did not actually put everything into FPGAs when the software was there. With the right 'gatekeeper' (pun only partially :^), the IP can be protected, and it could be updated on a regular basis. With even a simpl... | |
| Playback Designs Firmware Update Rtn1, firmware is software which is embedded in hardware. :^) Firmware are the effectively the Operating Systems of electronic devices. In some cases, but obviously not most cases, electronics are equipped with a way of updating that software. The... | |
| How to lower noise floor through mods? I have a power conditioner that i have only ever used for my CD player (which I was using to isolate the other pieces from the CD player (which worked quite well). I can try it out to see what happens if I plug in only the low-wattage stuff (pre, ... | |
| Entry Level Cables Thank you Zargoz. I was wondering of my invocation of that other place last time was the reason it got the thread pulled last time. | |
| Entry Level Cables To be fair to Audiofeil, this was an obvious case. I do not know SRA from a hole in the wall, I remember the moniker from a previous similar situation so I know he is a dealer. I have never seen a declaration of what he sells, and it is not public... | |
| Entry Level Cables OFF TOPIC ALERTThe evolution of this thread brings back the question raised on a thread which for some unknown reason the moderators appear to have deleted. The thread offered many suggestions and I still remember mine. Add a small notifier on the... | |

| "Watts" Versus "Current" The white papers by Atma-sphere, who sometimes posts on the forum, can be found here. You want the third and the fourth. | |
| McIntosh vs. Accuphase Kiza, you seem to have a fair bit of confidence about the Luxman L505U outclassing the MA7000. This is the second thread today where you have said that. This is a bit surprising as just yesterday you asked another thread about whether it beat the ... | |
| Most agreed upon best speaker? Tvad, you are scary. | |
| If cables can break-in, can they then wear-out? Yes, they wear out (except for Cardas, it seems). Feel free to contact me through Audiogon. I offer a free recycling service for cables and other high-end audio equipment. I even pay for shipping. | |
| The Best CDs to Give as Presents Theo, as long as the recipients also take up CD-giving, even if you give someone something they already have or secretly despise, they can simply give the same one away when they go somewhere. CW, I personally think it is a great idea - I have but... | |
| Best Speakers under USD 2,000 Second Hand Price Based on room size, low-power amplification, and budget, I can chime in with a recommendation for a pair of older Altec Model 19s, though they are quite large themselves. I have never heard Audiokinesis' speakers but I have great respect for the m... |
