| How can I measure the noise on my AC mains with a 2ch oscilloscope? @badbruno I think power is very important to all audio equipment. Indeed, there are some amps that can handle bad power but all amps appreciate good power. The advice to "plug your amp directly into the wall" comes from dealing with bad power co... | |

| How can I measure the noise on my AC mains with a 2ch oscilloscope? OP. While that is a nice experiment, it isn't really necessary. Nobdy has good quality power coming into their home today. Too many non-synchronous loads on the line that mangle the sine wave. My power generally runs 4% thd or so. I don't h... | |
| USB output on latest Bluesound Node Sounds like you know what you're dealing with but I'll ask just in case: are you sure you aren't plugged into a USP port that is an input port for firmware upgrades? I think the old nodes had that. Best of luck Jerry | |
| Measurement Bias And I just finished my run. A thin runner looks faster than a chubby one, but that's not always the case. --Jerry | |
| Measurement Bias In speakers, knowing the price might bias you. Or if it looks good, it might bias you that it will sound good. Jerry | |
| HFT High Frequency Transducer @pinwa Millercarbon wasn't banned. He left on his own accord. He started his own website under his name and last I heard was having a blast. @hififuchs I doubt he would have this info from 5 years back but he might. You can contact him on his ... | |
| exploring DACs Stick with Chord. I just replaced my DAVE with a Lampi tube dac and the DAVE holds it's own against a much more expensive DAC. Jerry | |
| Buying Used Speakers @celtic66 I've also enjoyed buying cars that already have their first scratch(es). | |
| 40+ watts SET, cost is not a problem @charles1dad reminded me of the GM70 so I went to Lampizator site to reread about it and they seem to be focusing on the 211 now (GM70 is Soviet, and I guess the war). Their 211 SET makes 85 wpc. Apollo (mentioned earlier) only claims 50 wpc f... | |
| 40+ watts SET, cost is not a problem Ah yes, the elusive GM70. | |
| 40+ watts SET, cost is not a problem Apollo Audio systems (google them, audiogon won't allow a link) is reporting excellent results with high power SETs. He is a typical small amp company run by the genius and enthusiasm of a single gifted individual. I have no affiliation with them.... | |
| People complain about lack of bass, not enough mid range. Solution? no. | |
| Aurender is finally Roon Ready?! @audphile1 I don't think the words around your statement change anything. I interpret this as your opinion is that Roon is inferior wrt sound quality. Is that correct? | |
| Aurender is finally Roon Ready?! "For casual listening Roon should be awesome." LOL. |
