| Interconnects and non-believers The human ear is very "threshold/complex-harmonic/temporal-mixing/micro-differential" oriented when it comes to realizing or distinguishing signals, or more specifically distinguishing transient structure. Almost all of how the ear works is tied t... | |
| Isolation Transformer “Refinements” A good sounding filter block (complex LCR of complete device) is one of the great tricks of the trade in power line filtering/enhancement markets. Medical and pro gear built for such -- tends to be degrading in sonics as much as they filter power.... | |
| Don't waste money on ultrasonic RCMs Anyway...no solvents on records. Solvents bleach out the plasticizers. They wick it right out.This is bad news for the record. Eg, to make sure that the stickers on a Teo cable case will actually stick, I do a quick wipe of the surface of the case... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers I’d just as soon not drag Nelson into this, even though I initially did. So, straw man conjecture in Nelson’s name should probably cease, please and thank you. Nelson, IIRC, was talking about the wire from the amp circuit board to maybe the bindin... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers Frankly, it doesn't matter if it's $2,000 or $200. I was just using a number to make a point. According to Nelson Pass, when the given wire piece is less than approx 6", it tends to have little to no noticeable effect.In this, he was talking ab... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers The more difficult a question is to answer, the longer the question exists... the more likely there are fundamental issues in the formulation of the question. | |
| Interconnects and non-believers Now take all that, and imagine what happens when you change the fundamental ’in situ’ physics of electron transfer and flow, with the introduction of a new carrier, like liquid metal alloy. Where the changes are enormous and in the exact level and... | |
| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? The whole thing is only done while we all ride cetaceans. That way, when someone asks, we can say, "we did it on porpoise". | |
| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? Remember, it’s a conspiracy started up by cable manufacturers. We have a collective of a multibillion dollar secret slush fund that is partly used to pay off high end audio manufacturers of hardware, so they don’t make integrateds. And to make sur... | |
| Which is the best audio magazine? Human hearing is quite individualized, we are not clear on what all of it means and the measurements don't correlate to what people say they hear. Thus, personal opinion rules. Audio has no capacity for a photo finish, and even when we do know how... | |
| Beware the audio guru As well, we’re always getting into new points of understanding, every day. This just in... in the neuroscience of Human hearing. Science marches on: http://kavliprize.org/prizes-and-laureates/prizes/2018-kavli-prize-neuroscience It’s difficult to ... | |
| Audio Research VS110 Middle transformer gets very hot the 2 sides not so is this normal That can be sort of true, yes. But peace of mind is only a $10 electronic infrared thermometer away...I expect to hear back a number of 50C or thereabouts. Not the exact correct number, as there never really is one - but simply a range, depending ... | |
| Audio Research VS110 Middle transformer gets very hot the 2 sides not so is this normal $10 infrared sensing handheld electronic thermometer. Point it at the transformer, on different areas of the transformer, and you’ll get a reading. From this you can guess the transformer core temperature, as you are measuring it’s surface temp (w... | |
| Dire Straits : what is your favorite pressing? Dire Straits first album is a little dark sounding no matter what pressing or mastering you end up with. It’s close to neutral but quite obviously a bit dark.So one can use it to evaluate, but one should probably never tune a system to it or via i... |
