| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Having heard a quad DSD in German Physics room at the RMAF, I cannot imagine why anyone would want to be limited to 44.1. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Calloway, There are liabilities to being a reviewer, namely that one typically hears a full loom. I am finally drawing the line with the Pros. Fortunately, Rick had nothing available to compare with the Pros. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz A complete suite of HFC's new "Pro" line was demonstrated at the RMAF. These cables have 17 inch waveguides and Rick was offering a seminar on magnetics in audio.I did not know the speakers or what they would have sounded like with the lesser HFC ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD There were five memorable rooms in their overall sound IMHO at the RMAF: PS Audio and YG, German Physics, Voxativ, and Exemplar Audio, and on the last day, On a Higher Note mezzanine room with the Vivid speakers and the Merging Tech digital. The P... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Juliejoema, yes, i have noticed this also, but were you to move the HFCs much you might have to wait awhile to hear them as they were earlier. I left all of my HFCs unused for two months. Now three weeks since returning they are back. But every ni... | |
| Since solder is such a poor conductor, why use it? Stringreen, is there not a problem of oxidization with crimping? | |
| Since solder is such a poor conductor, why use it? Don_c55, as I know a guy who worked at NASA who told me of $1000/foot wire, I suspected what you said. Thanks.I also know that systems for better grounds to Earth, weld the copper wire to the copper pipes buried deeply into the ground. | |
| Since solder is such a poor conductor, why use it? I guess the military need not use lead free solder. The EU has largely forced the move against lead in solder. Lead is a poor conductor as is tin, but lead tends to not crack. Welding copper to copper or silver to silver would mean no loss of cond... | |
| Since solder is such a poor conductor, why use it? Almarg, I doubt seriously if the solder you and I have access to is anything like that used in the military.Mapman, a linear amp doesn't solve the problem but could afford the welding of wires. | |
| Since solder is such a poor conductor, why use it? Timrhu, yes solder is awful now. It cracks.Joeylawn36111, There are very localized welders that would not influence the circuits. Almarg, I've learned that too often dismissing the impact of improvements is entirely wrong. Electrical Engineering d... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Without question the best speaker I ever heard was a beat up Altec coaxial. It was driven by a Western Electronic two 205 tube mono amp. If there had been two such amps, I would still have them today, I think. | |
| Stand out phono stages Jwilsco, a two channel amplifier with RIAA equalization. | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre Dave give me two words with double u's as vowels. Skiing bothers me but I love to do it. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Lak, do a Google search for ultrasonic record cleaners. I have the Ultrasonic V8 unit. It is somewhat cumbersome to use, but you can clean many records at the same time. Unfortunately, none of these vacuum off the records as they use air drying.I ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Lak, I agree but also would urge you to try having only one support to keep the wires off the floor rather than two or more. I have demonstrated this at shows and in homes. I don't really know why but the music is more alive and vivid.I picked thi... |
