| Can an unused cable break in? One of the things that is different about power cords vs ICs and speaker cables is there is always voltage present as long as power is supplied whether or not the device is turned on. If the dielectric is the primary thing that burns in, it se... | |
| Sell Me Your Women, Your Children, Your Vintage Turntable... Idler drive advantage is considered to be in the area of maintenance of inertial mass and motion under peak deceleration due to high levels of instantaneous deceleration. Or, to not lose the microstabilty stability of inertial motion in those micr... | |
| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt One way of saying it: The list is endless. New in the amplifier world is no where near being better in all cases. Circuit refinements are rare, and the effect on sonic end points that the given amplifier circuitry that is new can deliver -- is hig... | |
| Right angle wall plug on power cables Right angle is a custom fit that does not fit all the time ---so it’s the vertical off the socket as the norm. Where that space (around the wall plug) is more universal for a functional fit. Also, a right angle plug has to be designed in this fiel... | |
| “Best” or rather “Favorite” Conrad Johnson power amp? I would love to try an evolution 2000. A rare Hybrid if the ever was one. | |
| Chinese knock-off headphone amps https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/i-see-a-lot-of-chinese-mbl6010d-knock-offs/post?postid=218342... | |
| I see a lot of Chinese MBL6010D knock offs That’s how one knows they’ve ’arrived’. When the Chinese copy their circuits and the like. This goes as far as one of the past ’darlings’ of Chinese amplifier fame, having copied a portable technics CD player schematic into a $3k full size home un... | |
| Why audiophiles are different (explained with color) In the context of one developing a palette for wine or bourbon, is audiophilism largely about the development of a distortion palette relative to the actual arrangement and tonal quality of the instrumental and vocal sounds? Close but re arrange t... | |
| So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again... Additionally the alloy (a similar one, ingredient wise) is used for advanced medical procedures - inside people’s bodies in specific ultrasonic transmission devices. tiny ultrasonic snips and in ultrasonic breakage of things like kidney stones. It... | |
| Deja Vu all over again Yes but pity the stereo channel separation is 70% better on CD than vinyl.For vinyl just 30db at 1khz and almost mono in the bass and around 20db in the highs. CD 120db all through the range. And then there’s the noise difference🤦♂️ Cheers George... | |
| Specifications VS Sound Quality More than half of the % of S.Q.In my experience.... And this is true for all system at any cost...Speakers cannot replace the room controls and dac and amplifiers cannot replace speakers quality, nevermind their cost....For me they is 2 groups in... | |
| Pet Peeve -- why do headphone companies make the LEFT and RIGHT symbols so hard to locate Maybe we can use it as a casus belli and take over congress. but really, it’s a case of most people wanting the markings to be small and nearly invisible. It’s like writing in big letters on the front doors of a car "LEFT" and "RIGHT". That most p... | |
| Can an integrated amp be used as a power amp looking at an image of the unit with the bottom open and looking at the number of tubes in and that it has no phono section, it appears to be a power amplifier with a passive volume pot in the front of the power amplifier input. (I'm perfectly wi... | |
| Magnepan MMGs Crackle Sound hair or bit under the slip cover, that is touching the panel, or an intermittent separation of panel and support structure. Possibly a few other things...(on the list of potentials)You’d have to play the offending part on repeat and then listen to... | |
| Help! Cure for transformer hum? the electrical panel might require some tightening of all the connections, including the ground, and then some snapping of the breakers and resetting of said breakers. Just some additional aspects that should be considered. |
