Differences between cd transports?
the pseudo-scientist doesn't even know what a multi-meter is, and by extension, how to check for least resistance, but somehow he KNOWS no cable company has  an electron microscope: all one needs is access to people who do. HMMMMMMMM.Go back to sl...

fredunless your Hegel have a built in dac how would you use it 
Differences between cd transports?
Maybe 4 years ago I bought an Oppo 105 to play SACDs not realizing it does not output SACD, but plays it only when using the variable VC, so I used balanced cables, but wasn’t happy with it when playing red book cds.So I inserted my backup, a high...

Geoff, you should know by now, this pseudo physics guy will NEVER admit he's wrongIf these negative nellies (who have NEVER tried your products) ever visited Synergistic Research, their heads would explode  
Differences between cd transports?
yes this should end, but if, as you said, that the ac in cables is minimal, then shouldn't it running as you said back and forth be minimal, too? AND, what about optic cablesHopefully someone else with electrical knowledge in audio component and...

so, you're saying low current ac negates directional flow of signal?  
Differences between cd transports?
cleed if that's true why aren't people getting the crap shocked out of them when they change ICs or speaker cables with music playing?  
Differences between cd transports?
asel,aren't all ICs driven by DC within the preamp/dac/amp?

astel, Im talking about interconnects which transfer signal not currenthth,

astel, please tell me you are joking!!!!!!!!! With a meter  
Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here!
eliz. I feel you girlfriend. I basically gave my PPP away after having it fully rebuilt but still had fan issues, even when the system wasn't playing. I just didn't feel right selling it for $800, so I sold it for $300 with full buyer beware cauti...

clearthinker +1!astel. apples and oranges. Data is not the same as the many nuances involved with hi-end audio reproductionIt is up to the designer to know their science. I have seen raw cable tested for directionality resistance. It mattersAlthou... 
Differences between cd transports?
Geoff yes, yes, and yes. What naysayers fail to understand is strands of wire are pulled/drawn through a die, rough edges are bent over on a microscopic levelMany cable companies put direction arrows on their jackets, so where does this silliness ... 
Who makes great active preamps ? Tube or solid state or hybrid.
Having recently experienced what a major IC upgrade can mean, I wonder what ICs the negative commenters were usingAnyway of you are on a sub $1500 budget, you might get lucky and find a used Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5. It is a balanced design (als... 
Differences between cd transports?
Geoff, yes balancing is critical, especially when using your springs
