| Generalized attributes of amplifier technologies Not meaningless, as it follows under innovation. Improvement in application we will have to see, but yea, an omission that we should watch. Unfortunately, still quite rare and expensive only in boutique products as of yet. Hmmm, seems Peachtr... | |
| Generalized attributes of amplifier technologies Well, many SS amps have in excess of 50 Khz BW. Most transformers do not. They are by definition an inductive LP filter. What is up there is only harmonic distortion. This is not a bad thing, only a difference. I am not suggesting roll-off in t... | |
| RCA versus XLR interconnects "It depends" is the most accurate thing I have seen posted yet. It depends on if you have any interference problem. Few actually do. It depends if you have some ground loop fault you are not fixing and want to band aid. It depends on the qua... | |
| If I rip all my CD's to flac files do I still need a CD transport? All my CDs are in FLAC on a server. The PC drive is sufficient for ripping with 100% integrity. ( something no transport is capable of as it does not re-read, buffer and use error correction or compare to well known checksums.) So, not for qual... | |
| WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD? And we have members who do not believe you have had or heard things you actually did have, owned, and heard, so they attack them because they spent more money than you did. We also have a population who clearly does not understand the fundament... | |
| Very good AES presentation on inter connects and ground loops. Tony, This thread was highlighting a paper describing how balanced interconnects actually work and the many miss-conceptions in the audiophile world. Some well meaning based on intuition but incorrect, some supported by snake oil salesmen and thei... | |
| Very good AES presentation on inter connects and ground loops. You totally miss-understand me. I have heard superb systems. Good music on good systems can truly be moving. In that we agree. I have even had the privilege of hearing one recording that if you closed your eyes, you could almost believe it was re... | |
| Very good AES presentation on inter connects and ground loops. Yea, the best cables can cost $30 at least. Go all out for Mogamni and maybe $100 a 1M pair of RCA WBC's from Amazon. But plain old Belden "Brilliance" stranded RG-79 is just as good. Blue Jean will assemble cables to your length using good sto... | |
| Very good AES presentation on inter connects and ground loops. Cutting open several HDMI cables, as I was having issues with POD and ARC, I found on several the shield drain was not connected and some the foil had the insulated side ( mylar) against the drain making it totally ineffective. Bought a Belden ca... | |
| Optical Conversion Not Working, Please Help Jeff, Because the OP is confused by not understanding what he is trying to do. No need to call people names. Maybe you can proceed without any knowledge, but I find a little bit helps. | |
| Optical Conversion Not Working, Please Help Back up first and be sure everything works in copper. Any old dirt cheap CAT-5 cable will do. Actually it will do as well as any snake oil "audio Ethernet" cable. Ethernet and TCP guarantee every bit is right. Everything is buffered so no magic ... | |
| DH Labs power cables Laws of physics still rule this universe. Sorry. | |
| Very good AES presentation on inter connects and ground loops. For high end ,YES I DO expect them to deal with the environmental issues. That is what you pay the high price for. For commodity grade, sure as people make decisions on features and price so every corner must be cut. Yes, the balanced lines hav... | |
| Very good AES presentation on inter connects and ground loops. Tony, I stared this thread as there is a lot of incorrect perceptions on the subject. I agree SE was never the best answer, but he is talking about the physics, not if you need it. My point is, SE is probably just fine for a home system. Listen... | |
| Very good AES presentation on inter connects and ground loops. Are we blaming the wrong part of our systems? Are we blaming the environment, not the manufactures who fail to properly design something to work in it? If you buy a $80 CH-FI wonder, the FOSI V3 for instance, we expect every corner to be cut.
