High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
I have just returned from the Consumers Electronics Show. I heard little realism there. I heard good sound reproduction with some of it not sounding as directly out of the speakers and with some presenting a big sound stage. But not one gave the r... 
Is computer audio a bust?
Mapman,Good. 
Is computer audio a bust?
Mapman, so who or what does it right and why? All I know is that alway WAV files sound different and better than FLAC files. I will soon have a dac with two computers. One will only do music and the other will do everything else. And there will be... 
Is computer audio a bust?
Mapman, yes the difference is the latency of the computer unwrapping the Flacs. The sound is different than uncompressed Wav files. All of my newer files are stored in DSD and all are replayed in double DSD. I also have some music recorded in doub...

Mapman, I was driving along and saw it on the side of the road. I was scared that I might be hit from behind, but everyone avoided me while I got out and threw it into the car. Perhaps it fell out of a delivery truck but I saw no packaging around ...

Were it not for Mapman, I would tell you guys about what an improvement HFC UR phono cable gave me. It was a little awkward getting them to work as my BMC MCCI phono stage require balanced inputs. But a friend made me RCA to XLR adapters that work...

David and Calvinj, I would be interested in coming over also. Perhaps we could make one long day out of both. Perhaps also we should go off this thread for this. David, do you have both of our emails?

Calvinj, I am off to CES next week, but then things will slow up. Come on down! I'll try to get David to come over also.

Why do we even bother to read and respond to Sabai? 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
I use a BMC MCCI phono stage and agree with Fremer that it is the best or second only to the Ypsilon phono stage. But this piece requires XLR inputs. Of course there are not HFC cables with XLRs. For this reason, I had special adapters for convers...

Rlawry, interesting comments, thanks.You say you have an entry-level CT-1 phono cable, but I think the Enhanced version grew out of the development of the phono cable, so you may have the Enhanced version there. I think you can tell by whether the...

Sabai, why do you care? Do you have a badge to prove you are among the scam police?

Ddraudt, I think the trolls bother you too much. Were you to respect them then they might matter. 
Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors
Audiolabyrinth, Sound Applications has always stated that 20 amp IECs and plugs sound better than 15 amp ones. This is very difficult to check so I have never done so. While the wall plug end can be done fairly easily the IEC end would be a great ... 
How do you judge your system's neutrality?
Scvan, I think the distribution around the results suggest both measurement error as well as other factors no covered by ohms law. But I also think the are many areas where we don't even have the counterpart of ohm's law.Basically, I think much me...
