| Sound quality of Roon I would not trust TAS to carry my lunch let alone evaluate something. That said, I don't remember anything negative about Amazon, just that he does not like Amazon (and others) as a company. If he truly tested it, lets see the bit comparisons. | |
| Amp Internal Wire MIL16878 is PTFE coated. You can buy 16878 inexpensively. I have used it before because I needed the voltage rating for a given total diameter. It was not very expensive. Silver plating would add cost, but is overkill compared to tinned. Standar... | |
| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? Welllllll my apologies I misread. That changes everything. That sounds like a capacitor or resistor in a low pass filter is out of spec, but too many possibilities to guess accurately. Your old DAC will be just fine for testing. If there is a l... | |
| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? @theaudiomaniac I think you might be right, in terms of AC voltage output being close enough. That said, there is a 1.2% variance at 5,000Hz, and close to a 1% variance around this frequency. While small, wouldn’t that be audible That is at... | |
| Whole House Surge Protection…recommendations! @carlsbad, if my power strip is using MOVs for surge suppression, there is nothing limiting current. | |
| Amp Internal Wire Like I said, @holmz , all yours. Crazy posts draw out crazy people. | |
| Amp Internal Wire If you can't tell me the Q and self resonance of those fancy foil inductors then you are buying them for looks. Educate me on why a foil inductor is better. There was no need to illustrate my point, but thank you for doing it. There are a lot of... | |
| Sound quality of Roon @zgas-music on Amazon, if the remastered sounds like crap it because the remastering is crap. | |
| The thing about objectivists is... How do you hijack a thread when you start with a premise that reads more like an acid trip than anything suitable for meaningful discussion? If two sounds are exactly the same, but you perceive them differently on different days, the sound didn't ... | |
| What is the best non-conditioning surge protector @tablejockey . 😀 | |
| Amp Internal Wire What came first. Amp manufacturers using expensive wire in their amps or too many audiophiles thinking they were the next Einstein? That should answer your question. | |
| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? Your left and right are perfectly matched. No issues | |
| The thing about objectivists is... Proof that all audio discussions eventually degrade to cables or vinyl vs. digital. Got stuck with a Jetta with the factory radio for a rental recently. It was that or who knows how long and Maui was calling. 256kbps MP3/AAC ... Really don't ... | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? @itissteve ++++1 | |
| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? The wall is reflecting too much mids from about 1-4 khz, that makes the highs when you listen to that channel alone seem suppressed. Effectively they are in comparison. You will even get some mids from the left channel reflecting off that close w... |
