| Tosslink NOOB question! toslink shares the same specification as digital coax: S/PDIF. It can transfer anything that the S/DPIG specification can do. I believe this is limited at 24/96 for 2-channel PCM. It can do the maximum bandwidth of old school Dolby Digital and... | |
| Capacitors Those links are all to film cap comparison. If you have the ability to put in a film cap, it can be much better. However, film caps are significantly larger in physical size and may not fit for the uf value you may need. So, electrolytic capacitor... | |
| Just Curious - About using a AV Receiver as main unit Millercarbon has a knee-jerk reflex where has has to call all HT stuff crap. He has a big negative attack especially on AVRs. I wouldn’t take his comments too seriously.That being said, there is a small grain of truth in his comment (however, a ve... | |
| Items for sale without remotes. This is an interesting topic. I have been seeing a ton of stuff being put up for sale by TMR Audio without remotes. Even more expensive stuff. But I agree with whatjd. Any audiophile who loses a remote is just stupid. What sort of events lead... | |
| Most Neutral Furutech Power Cable Well, not necessarily. Romex won't really pass for an external power cord because it really doesn't have enough insulation/covering for durability. It also is very thick solid core, which will actually break over time when you bend it back and f... | |
| Any Difference Between Gold and Silver RCA/XLR Connector Plugs? Wow, I'm surprised there are no other answers than "it makes no difference".Silver is the best conductor of electricity. However, it can come across very bright sounding. It tends to push the upper mids and highs. Sometimes there is a lack of b... | |
| Done selling on eBay, they are demanding my social security number to sell It looks like you hit a threshold which triggered your account to appear like a business. Paypal is required to send a 1099 if you receive 200 or more payments totalling at least $20,000. They would need your SSN / Tax ID in order to do so. ht... | |
| Building an AUDIOPHILE friendly PC from scratch so what is a must to consider in 2020? SSD hard drives. I actually use a fanless video card. The Palit Geforce GTX 10050Ti. I wanted my PC as silent as possible as well. The Palit video card works great for all 2D stuff (web browser, video, youtube, Word, Excel, etc., etc.). It wo... | |
| Most Neutral Furutech Power Cable The problem with Furutech and many other cables is that it's always stranded wiring. Furutech actually has very thin strands (which are common). It doesn't matter if it's OCC or silver or the most pure copper you can find. Stranded will always ... | |
| DIY xlr cables Buy a length of Neotech 20awg OCC Teflon solid-core hookup wire and then braid it (3 x 20awg for an XLR). It comes to about $7-8 per foot. | |
| Home Theater Done Right: Millercarbon's System I also share the opinion that HT done right means that you absolutely have to have a center channel. There is a loss of cohesion when you try to use a left/right for phantom center, and it actually causes the dialog to be harder to understand. T... | |
| Emotiva Xpa 2 as a mono block. This is a common problem with many stereo amps. They can overheat and cause problems when bridged because the circuits pull too much current from the power supply. I think you are better off selling this XPA-2 and getting a pair of XPA-1 monobl... | |
| Neotech NC-P313 vs. Furutech FI-28 Plugs Nice! Be aware that the sound could possibly get very painful to listen to during the break in. Just be patient. 250-300 hours. | |
| DIY corner traps that would be the 703 FRK. Yes, I have used the 2" FRK. Check out this chart:https://www.atsacoustics.com/page--Selecting-the-Right-Acoustic-Material--ac.html The FRK does excellent bass/midbass absorption for being a think 2" panel. The foil a... | |
| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs Like others have said, there are several preamps that have dual XLR outputs. However, the only preamp I know of that actually has a separate analog output stage driving the second set of XLR outputs is the Classe CT-800. I think the new Classe D... |
