| Why use ground wire from preamp to amp??? jea48, this is a good trend. I have never owned a metal chassis component where the chassis is not grounded. I agree about the two wire ac ground. | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable I must say that I regretfully agree that everything matters. Last evening I listen to three ways to convert music in digital to analog on my music server. One was JRiver MC 20, another Signalyst, and the third Foobar. I was amazed that there were ... | |
| Digital versus Vinyl - Grinnell College Review I don't think streaming, cds, and cd players merit assessing relative to vinyl. Now is the time for DSD or even quad native DSD and down loads. I do have many ripped cds on my hard drive and playing them with upsampling that allows moving the filt... | |
| Why use ground wire from preamp to amp??? Since most components have grounded ac power cords and most interconnects have grounds, every component has two earth ground and thus ground loops. The third wire would add additional ground loops. All of this is to satisfy Underwriters Labs on th... | |
| $510.00 for an Aluminum cover for the ARC Ref. 10? Steel would be cheaper and better. If it is flat you should be able to have it locally made. | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable calvinj, I'm not downing people who don't spend on cables, but certainly I know that some more expensive cables sound better than any cheaper cables I've heard. zephyr24069, I have often said that talking about sound is largely worthless given the... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Of course, I entirely disagree with you. There is no strong correlation between price and sounding outstanding, but there is some correlation, which means you cannot expect to find much excellence among the cheaper cables. But I remember when reje... | |
| Acoustic panels - how high? Eleven little Zilplexes will greatly exceed any benefits of acoustic panels. | |
| Spaghetti cabling behind entertainment center Arctikdeth, It is not a waste of time and money if you value the improvements you get. I built a Live End/Dead End room once. That was a major waste of time and money for me. | |
| Spaghetti cabling behind entertainment center I would also hasten to add that no cables should be in contact with the floor or carpet. It is best if you have ceramic isolators holding them off the floor. Metal and even wood are insufficient.Were you to see my setup, you would think you have n... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I now have gone through four levels of High Fidelity Cables ics and speaker wires- CT-1 standards, Enhanced, Ultimate, Ultimate Reference, Enhanced phono cables, and multiple levels of their power cords. I still remember my shock with the first pa... | |
| New format, dislike..... I really don't understand why the wheel needs to be reinvented. The "classic format" of Audioasylum is, IMHO, the best format. I finally got the help I needed to skip the old posting on each thread to see what is new in the assbackwards format of ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Mapman, yes the cornfield in "If you build it, they will come." | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Rlawry, I got a new music server and have had some problems, but now have it working. In our efforts to find out what the problem is, I just put old black heavy duty power cords on the dac and the server.I sounded very good but a little edgy. Yest... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Audioguy003, You might also go to the webpage and compare the present cable alignments in pictures. I must admit that I understood everything from the first CT-1 through the Ultimate Reference ics but in the pictures, I don't see much other than p... |
