| A question of metal type; the value of matching RCA phono plugs to sockets ? A useful test for the importance of connectors, and their quality disturbing intrusions..is to take apart some mid 80’s to mid 90’s piece of gear, a cassette deck, or integrated or receiver...one with a million of those ribbon like cables and conn... | |
| A question of metal type; the value of matching RCA phono plugs to sockets ? Use low mass connectors. Connectors that more closely match the (electro-mechanical) ’mass’ of the cable body. Matched in mass of the signal pathway, though the RCA jack proper. This leads to less impedance dominated reflections in the jack and an... | |
| Looking for an old Stereophile review ... Not enough information to go on. need some other detail, at least one more relevant detail... to sort this out. an answer is only as good as it's corresponding question. | |
| How do you get Happy as an Audiophile? Music Makes Me Happy Or, maybe it just gets me High... Perhaps the danger of equipment can be like desperately smoking as many cigarettes as one can, in order to quit. | |
| The Audiophile Community Has a Problem: Part Deux The Saga Continues? @travelinjack, I’m sure you know that the one topic we have to avoid completely if we want to maintain civility on this forum is politics. If you don’t know that, I suggest you lurk a while until you learn the ropes. It’s actually, historically... | |
| The Big Misconception About Electricity yes, 341 posts since joining on nov 30th. IIRC, over 200 posts in the first 72-96 hours. A near record for insidious a.wipe attacks. | |
| The Big Misconception About Electricity regarding the Atlantic magazine story about the twilight zone TV show: Gold has not—well, not yet anyway—lost all value, as The Twilight Zone claims it will by the year 2061 in "The Rip Van Winkle Caper" (1961). Mentioned right in this thread,... | |
| Is teflon based lubricating spray bad for tonearm bearings? IIRC, it is not rust, it is probably a tensioning issue. Probably. Search the web on the subject of Ittok bearing issues, on some their older arms. eg, pretty near 100% of all old Dual turntables need their arm bearings re-tensioned. They even m... | |
| Next best exponential DAC quality level? the relentlessness and a lack of resolution indicates that your are missing something. And I've had the kindness to spend hours and hours of my time trying to help you find it. when I leave and stop doing so, like I've done before... it does not... | |
| Next best exponential DAC quality level? Can you please detail exactly what measurements you have taken on what equipment and using what to measure that led you to this conclusion with your experience with your ears? I am not making any arbitrary decisions I am basing what I stated ... | |
| Next best exponential DAC quality level? But we have established tests that are quite accurate w.r.t. what a DAC can do w.r.t. THD, noise floor, frequency response, complex waveform IMD (close to real music), etc. and how those will compare to others. So yes, we can change regulators, o... | |
| Next best exponential DAC quality level? Again, I (mostly) agree with Cinyment on the fundamentals of what they present... (above post) but differ slightly on what I personally understand that it means to the ear, how such interacts with the ear. Where that is folded back into the desi... | |
| Six Degrees of Separation Do we have this in most forum fights? Six Degrees of Exasperation? | |
| Six Degrees of Separation Taras K do acoustics on film set. Bacon on film set. Oh, only two. Sorry, my bad. | |
| House Wiring Does Make a Difference! Don’t you fools know that science can only be done on paper and must come out of a textbook? Otherwise it won’t be circular and won't come back on itself as a closed loop. Help keep people safe. Make sure science remains circular. Exploration a... |
