| Wrapping power cords and interconnects with copper foil. I did in the past and it worked, but my best practise is to bind power cables along the rack (to the left or to the right, depending by the positions of power and interconnect sockets) in order to keep them as far as possible from interconnect cab... | |
| Ethernet Switch- what's the point? @fredrik222 Question is very simple. If you are using a very unefficient protocol like https, which relies on heavy buffering, all is reduced to the quality of client (the webplayer most likely). So, which switch/router/cable to use is no sense q... | |
| Ethernet Switch- what's the point? #fredrik222 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_media https is TCP/IP, very large buffering, nothing compareable to real-time o live streaming. Probably in your life you never made a video conference using TCP/IP, otherwise you'd know the eff... | |
| Ethernet Switch- what's the point? @carlsbad2 Exactly. Most audio/video protocols are based on UDP. More they are real-time, more they use fast protocols which cannot permit to make any check. TCP/IP controls correctness of every packet and the order in which packets are received... | |
| AES/EBU cable shootout @rudyb Data communication is generally made with two base protocols: TCP/IP which manages: flow, CRC, data loss, retransmission UDP which does NOT manage: flow, CRC, data loss, retransmission The most of data exchange procedures (like sendi... | |
| To preamp or not to preamp. That is the question. @alvinnir2 I think for around 1000 USD you may get a second hand Threshold FET ten, which is probably still one of the most transparent preamp ever built.It will reveal any change in your equipment, and will be soon moved to your main system. I... | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. @bdp24 About "Elton John and Bernie Taupin (Bernie says Tumbleweed Connection was Elton and his attempt to make an album like the s/t brown album)", luckily they failed in their original attempt and made a great album. | |

| Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse? Where should these fuses and all other special fuses be used? Only in amplifiers on in any audio equipment? | |
| Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ? Strange noboby is complaining about weight and dimensions of class A serious equipment.I just gave away two clones of class A Pass Labs and I'm looking for a good traditional A/B amplifier, because I'm tired of turning on two blocks each time, hav... | |

| Thinking about getting a R2R DAC Post like this put me into confusion, because it looks like my idea that older DACs work better is not that bad.It's a lot of years that people says that my system sounds very natural, not like others, and I'm completely satisfied with how it soun... | |
| Threshold Fet Ten/HL compared to Fet Ten/e or more recents Pass Labs preamps Thanks Teajay, I've written you an email. | |
| Threshold Fet Ten/HL compared to Fet Ten/e or more recents Pass Labs preamps So, none moved from a Fet ten/hl to a Fet ten/e, or, more generally, from a Fet Ten to a Pass Labs preamplifier? | |
| 700.00 speakers new or used Make the bargain of your life: Boston Lynnfield 300L, the most underrated speaker ever made, and probably one of the best ever made.There is an ad for a second hand couple at https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649645998-rosewood-boston-acoust... |
