Rip LP's to Digital
Gorquin - if you want "really affordable" and reasonable resolution (i.e. 16/44), take a look at the Behringer UCA222 - I believe it comes with software also.I have one and for ripping albums I find it perfect, since most of the albums I want to r... 
Siltech G5 against the rest of the world.
Tekunda - the KLE Innovations gZero line has been besting many of the top IC's out there.The KLEI gZero20 provides some excellent detailing and clarity.The speaker cables also perform to an extremely high level of fidelity, despite their "skinny" ... 
What is the best usb convertor
I really like the v-link, but it's discontinued, but you can find new product on eBay.Regards. 
A-B testing of cables
Almandog - did you allow the new cables sufficient time to "burn-in"The KLE Innovations gZero cables I am currently using took over 300 hours to sound anywhere near their best - in fact they are still getting better. Having said that they blew the... 
EMI Circuit/Component Saturation
So I allowed the phono stage to remain powered on for around 10 days - the Digital components only took 6 days to saturate, so I figured give it a little extra.I played 3-4 select tracks that I frequently listened to 2-3 times each to become famil... 
EMI Circuit/Component Saturation
Kijanki - I have neither the educational background or the desire to delve into the "root cause" and your thoughts on this topic may well be correct.I was simply passing on what I had heard and since it came form a "credible source" and I found it... 
EMI Circuit/Component Saturation
Kijanki - I was actually informed about this effect by an audio designer with over 30 years of experience.Having had a formal education in electrical engineering, I can understand how this effect may occur, simply because there are many electrical... 
Review: KLEI gZero10 Interconnect
Yping - the gzero20's provide even more details, but more important- they provide more clarity and superb venue acoustics.Regards... 
Digital Contamination of the Power?
Any form of contamination degrades system performance.Most cables contaminate within themselves - you don't appreciate the effect it has on your system until you get rid of it.Only cables with advanced internal architectures are capable of reducin... 
Anyone try the new DIY VTwist int. from VH Audio?
Plasmatech was that the old Eichmann Bullet RCA's?If so, you can improve performance even more by using the KLE Innovations Harmony range of RCA's.I started with the Eichmann Silver Bullet, then migrated to the KLEI Copper Harmony - a big improvem... 
USB DAC question for neutral setup. Please help.
Here's another vote for the Bifrost + UBER analogue upgrade - but to give it even more zing, get the v-link192 usb-spdif converter - it performs much better than the Schiit USB interface.Prior to the v-link I upgraded to the schiit usb-gen 2 upgra... 
Digital coaxial audio cable suggestions.
The best digital "coax" I've used to date is the KLEI gZero3D - but to get closer to your price point the gZero2D will also perform extremely wellI've tried them both and the 3D offers a little better imaging and a little better dynamics - but the... 
Spdif cable construction.
I cannot talk to all cables, but with the cables I use length makes no difference whatsoever.I use KLE Innovations cables - which utilize a completely different cable architecture to the more conventional offerings out there and as a consequence d... 
Review: KLEI gZero10 Interconnect
Ad010685 - The difference between these cables and most all of their competition is in their internal architectureMost cables have a neutral and signal conductor of the same length laying side by side in parallel - parallel conductors promote nois... 
Where to start
Rgc - Unfortunately, a single gadget that fits everybody's requirements is yet to be developed - and those that are out there often falls short in some respect.e.g. the Pono of Fiio X5 are certainly portable and will play high res files, but - the...
