| Noise reduction -why the rage now ? @jonnie22 - I have followed many of the threads on Agon and have for the most part recognised that some noises do present a significant issue, such as crackles and pops or hums when the A/C turns on - but those noises tend to be conveyed within th... | |

| Difference in sound between copper and silver digital cables? @danip5 - you are clearly far more knowledgeable in this area than myself, so if I could impose on you one last time, for some points of clarification...If I understand your posts correctly - "Ethernet" detects errors, but it does not request a re... | |

The price made it attractive for my first foray into the world of moving c... | |
| Loose speaker wire and high power amps @blueranger P.S. Since your amp is class A/B, it will run a little hotter than most other amps - it is nothing to worry about.I had a Luxman A/B amp and it got too hot to leave your hand on it for longer than a few seconds, so heat is not necessar... | |
| Loose speaker wire and high power amps @blueranger - your problem with you amp running hot may actually be due to the speaker cables (i.e. being of higher capacitance than most) causing the amp to oscillate.12TC is 494 pF / meter - you get 3 meters of that and it’s a whopping 1482 pF !... | |
| Shortcut or badcut? @sound22card - If you think about what is at play IF you were to do this...- e.g. Each set of speakers has it's own cross over, so unless you implement the same model/year of speaker there will likely be differences in the signal path, which can l... | |

| phono preamp for the ortofon 2m bronze @kully560 - I have a Simaudio Moon LP5.3 RS phono stage - which is very much like the current LP610.The nice thing about Simaudio as a company is, they flow all of their latest "developments" DOWN to their entry level products as time goes by, as ... | |
