| Do I really need an " Audio Grade Network Switch "? @astolfor The interface between a PHY device and the CPU are *INTERNAL* to the design of the device. Once the signals reach the PHY and are emitted to the Ethernet wire, there is no clocking involved. You are looking at BOARD LEVEL HARDWARE de... | |
| Do I really need an " Audio Grade Network Switch "? No you do not. Also, for the un-informed, there is NO such thing as ethernet clocking. It is an ASYNCHRONOUS stream. An el-cheapo switch like this will more than be enough: https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Ethernet-Unmanaged-Internet-Splitter/d... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? I am not sure if those two words can even be used in the same sentence. | |
| Doesnt resistance mean same as impedance?? "There is NO frequency with DC, which is WHY, "resistance is constant". The above is NOT true. You can still apply AC to simple resistance and its resistance will still NOT change, whereas a capacitor and/or an inductor’s resistance WILL change w... | |
| Detachable Head shell or Not? Detachable is fine. Easy to try & change cartridges. As long as you use a 'decent' enough arm, noone here, absolutely noone, will be able to tell the difference in the sonics between a detachable & non detachable headshell. | |
| Advice needed on power cables, wall warts, conditioning, electrical outlet There is no need to spend ridiculous amounts of money on power cables. Check the below out for example. Its current carrying capacity of 90 amps at 10 awg is a testament to its quality. And for short runs, its stray capacitance & inductance w... | |
| Advice needed on power cables, wall warts, conditioning, electrical outlet Hi @alexberger, Our suggestion for using a transformer, especially a toroidal transformer is for the purposes of isolation and smoothing. Both SS and tube amplifiers, low or high power, can always benefit from the low impedance mains supply an is... | |
| Advice needed on power cables, wall warts, conditioning, electrical outlet "@alexberger: Toroidal transformers are the worst for amplifier power supply." The above is COMPLETELY UNTRUE. Toroidals are the BEST transformers for noise and efficiency. Here is an isolation transformer you cannot beat. At 3000VA capacity and... | |

| Advice needed on power cables, wall warts, conditioning, electrical outlet @terry9 you have about the only believable post on this subject. And since the isolation transformer provides a good low impedance supply, you see the better transient improvement. Power cords, unless they are thinner than your house romex, ... | |
| Heat in class A equipment Unless the amp is designed badly, the heat in class A SS amps is usually confined to the output stage. And almost all components will be fine except the electrolytic caps. The challenge is to keep the caps as cool as possible. | |
| How important Is shielding with RCA wires? (Ethan Winer, new video) Rule of thumb is, the lower the signal, the more important the shielding. You can never have too much of it. | |
| Doesnt resistance mean same as impedance?? İmpedance is resistance which changes with frequency whereas simple resistance is constant with frequency. | |

| Schitt Loki Max Superb products at excellent price points. What i love about their equalizers is that they have a 20 hz band which makes them usable as good as the old, but much missed 'loudness' control. |
