| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system “Avalon AD2055, Millennia nseq4, and my own Charter Oak all sound unbelievable in home playback “ But this Skyline isn’t working. Have informed Jason at Revive. The problem is half volume and distortion. Funny these cables work for all of the abo... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Have picked up and am bringing home the Skyline M3D right now. Impressions soon! | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Indeed comparing the XLR to XLR for my HP chain to the above mentioned custom wired XLR to RCA, sonically there is no difference. Perfect and absolutely lossless way to mate pro XLR only to unbalanced RCA only gear. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Did that for my unbalanced Bryston tape loop. Cardas custom wired the pins (pseudo balanced) and works perfectly with no distortion and no need for an additional box. Once had a Aphex converter box in the beginning. The Cardas custom cable without... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Basically you have your custom pin wiring scheme with the XLR to rca that gets you to unity gain | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system For the scenario described above, you need to get the phono signal to line level with a phono stage preamp. Then if you’re still unbalanced, talk to me. I’ll get you to balanced properly without an additional box | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system “ Hi Tim, I just had a conversation with the last purchaser of the M3D. He is having a mismatch issue as he is using Phono level into a +4 device that is causing distortion. He initially assured me he had a converter but in fact does not. I wan... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system No more bashing either. They both can play a role in augmenting the audiophile listening experience | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Again, both analog and digital advancements have come along since 1981. Referencing your past experiences years ago with analog is irrelevant | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Yes, I understand that @mahgister but when we hear envelopment or surround dispersal of the 3 D soundstage but it’s coming from 2 front speakers it’s still the brain being tricked. Simply because you don’t have all these performers surrounding y... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system We are all perfectionists, or we wouldn’t be here. It is amazing to me that the digital algorithms have advanced so far that we can “trick” our brains, OUR brains, not the average casual listener brain, that well. One would expect we would hear SO... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Having said all this it’s entirely possible the best digital systems are indeed as good as Mike says they are. I hope so! Any advancements in our fold are welcome! More good choices. I am entirely open minded to this and can’t wait to hear! Bot... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system It seems absurd to argue that digital EQ as close to perfection as it gets while analog is “Stone Age,” way flawed, when we’re still arguing about whether digital playback has caught up to vinyl playback in SQ. The base digital file has ALWAYS bee... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Conversation above is conversion, obviously | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system So Mike , consider the following: instrument played in studio (psychoacoustics “right”, SQ perfect > recorded with conversation to digital code, an approximation/ representation of real world sine waves heard > complex human construct digit... |
