| Update on good Ethernet switch I guess I hit a nerve. | |
| Update on good Ethernet switch Sophomoric trolls with nothing to contribute… | |
| Update on good Ethernet switch Then why does a page fail to load sometimes and I have to refresh the screen? | |
| Turntable Isolation Journey My Sota Nova VI has the magnetic bearing. Much quieter than my previous Sota Star V. I thought the Star was quiet and what I was hearing was groove noise because the noise seem to vary from record to record but that noise is gone with the Nova. ... | |
| Update on good Ethernet switch Sir Isaac Newton made some observations about falling objects and developed a few basic equations to describe the motion of bodies. It took some time for people to accept his equations. Then Einstein came along and showed that Newton’s equations... | |
| Update on good Ethernet switch My experience is a high quality network switch is better than no switch and that seems to be the consensus of a lot of listeners. My simplified view as a Mechanical Engineer is that unlike the Analog realm where less is more, the digital realm ... | |
| Turntable Isolation Journey Just like in life- too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. Too much dampening can deaden the sound. That is especially true when working on room reflections. Too many reflections muddy the sound but too few makes the sound dead/dull. If you ... | |
| Turntable Isolation Journey Good post and I see that many of you are astute and have a good understanding of vibrations and their effects on our stereo gear. I want to add a few remarks to help everyone understand how best to isolate their gear. Springs isolate and rubbers... | |
| Sibilance I have the first Trinity Sessions vinyl I bought in the 1980s. It has issues. The recording engineer re-released this record a few years ago and cleaned up a lot of the sibliance in the recordings. Some would argue art is not without its flaws bu... | |
| Ethernet switches the good and bad I had my ISP route the cable signal to the coax in my listening room. Bought my own Modem and separate router. I run optical from the router to a LHY SW-8 network switch (fiber media converters with 5 Volt LPS’s) and out of the SW-8 to my music ... | |
| What was the craziest location that you made an audio purchase from? I traded the shirt off my back once for a record at a stereo store. I was doing hot fuel testing at an automotive proving grounds in Arizona. This was around 1993. I worked all day at the proving grounds in my golf shirt with the Ford and Bosch l... | |
| Sibilance Assuming you are talking about a record, you might try adjusting the VTA of your tonearm. Lowering the back of the tonearm a small amount might tame that sibilance. | |
| Bass only when I stand up… Bass response is one of the craziest things in hifi. Over the years and living in different houses with varying room sizes and volumes I would stubbornly set up my stereo with the same separation distance between the speakers and distance from th... | |
| Bass only when I stand up… Speaker position is everything. I have had this experience too. The factors affecting the bass are distance from front wall, side walls and most importantly, distance between each speaker. First, experiment by moving the speakers closer togethe... | |
| Shootout: Roon versus Plex, Qobuz versus Tidal: Who Won? For my set up I found Roon sounds best when I just go straight through with PCM to my DAC via USB. I tried conversion to DSD and different types of filters but it smooths out the sound- that’s the best way I can describe it. Straight through PCM... |
