| Need help Choosing A New Interconnect At your price, and only available used or demo at this point, I have really liked the Cardas Clear Light ICs as I have sought a very similar sound as you. | |
| Network Switches @david_uk_22 I have an open mind on the subject, but I am wondering why commercial and professional applications such as television and radio networks don’t need the same level of equipment as is being promoted for home cinema/music room appli... | |
| Network Switches My IQ is 165 and I demand that everyone consider my viewpoints to therefore be the most credible on this forum! At least until a 166 guy comes along. | |
| Slight speaker white noise from hybrid BHK 300 monos and BHK pre normal? White noise is simply the fact that tubes aren't 100% silent, especially under some decent amounts of gain. You could try going for SLN tubes from Roger at TubeAudioStore and see if they make a difference. In my conversations with him he felt th... | |
| Network Switches @jason_k2017 You must try to understand that almost everything can introduce EM/RF noise. Every single device from the audio server, through every device my audio passes through on the internet and then my exchange to my router to my DAC can. Doze... | |
| Network Switches @jason This is so very frustrating. I couldn't agree more. Why won't you answer the question about routers and switches possibly introducing EM/RF noise OUTSIDE of the signal path just like any other piece of electrical powered gear??? The qu... | |
| Network Switches @jnorris2005Despite my attempts to educate people that if RF/EM noise introduction at the switch will really affect the audio signal, I don't for a second think that RF/EM affects the audio signal! In fact I went to great lengths to say I don't ... | |
| Network Switches @jason - very cute, answering my question with a question. Since you choose not to answer my question I will answer for you. Of course a switch that doesn't introduce RF/EM noise to a line can sound better than one that does. You know this as w... | |
| Network Switches @jason how a switch working at level 2 or 3 can affect the encoded audio Just because the sound is better after inserting a new switch does not mean the switch affected the encoded audio. Couldn't improvements be due solely to a reduction of RF... | |
| Network Switches Why, if the digital signal is not being degraded and is therefore reaching its destination intact (which is all that matters), do I need a 'special' switch?@jasonI don't think a special switch is needed unless the hardware is adding noise to the... | |
| Network Switches @jason_k2017 This isn't about degrading a digital signal, it's about electrical noise riding on the line. What do you think shields ethernet cable? It's wrapped in foil or braided wires - yes, conductors of electricity. So if electrical noise do... | |
| Network Switches I don't understand why people think it's technically impossible for a switch to introduce noise in the component chain. Switches are powered by electricity and contain fans, chips, printed circuit boards and power supplies. This isn't an argumen... | |
| Network Switches @atdavid Agreed on the ethernet cable but clearly routers and switches aren't always galvanically isolated.Ethernet is always galvanically isolated. The connection is through a transformer. | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! I'd very curious how the Kuzma Stabi XL DC performs head to head against this VPI - the Kuzma is 1/3 the price.https://www.analogueseduction.net/user/products/large/kuzma-turntables-stabi-xl-dc.jpg | |
| Townshend Seismic Isolation Podium @millercarbon I think the sound got worse because the cones were providing an effective damping of internal equipment resonances. Isolation would never have addressed that. I agree with your observation and feel there is a place for both coupli... |
