| Cable design is a lot like creating a pizza LOL!! That’s exactly what I am doing now my friend. It’s Saturday evening. Am I allowed to? Cheers anyways I just figured the alcohol analogy went over your head, and the user name it had my wondering. Oh, and this exactly what you said... | |
| Cable design is a lot like creating a pizza @holmz : do all pizzas taste the same to you? Serious question Wow… just wow. No, of course they don’t. But I have now concluded that perhaps you do not consume alcohol. | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing I’d do it myself, but I can’t because I am on 50Hz power. @noske Are there different transformers on the 5oHz model? Or just a different tap point for 240v? (A lot of newer gear is 50-60 Hz capable, so I am expecting the transformer may do b... | |
| Transients hurting my ears on hifi solid state amps ^I think we are making progress.^ Unfortunately, I don't have the two offending amplifiers to do measurements with, but that would indeed have been very interesting. Don’t worry about the offending amps. Just take the offending albums and... | |
| What’s your latest high-end audio purchase? I bought back my Yamamoto Dac from the person I sold it too 5 years previously. @jond I think you mean rented to them 😁 | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @kuribo well done on that post sir. I think that there may be some effort going towards getting measurements done, but it will take a couple of months and the party needs to reach out to Amir. nice post @sdl4 - But for some new here, Ralph is ... | |
| Line Magnetic 805ia vs high end seperates My preamp has an AVR bypass so when it is off the AVR channel goes straight through. If two channel is only a few times a week, then you manually swap cables, say at the amp? Not ideal, but it might be possible. | |
| Bi wire into single input They all hit a single point somewhere… either inside or at the post(s). Whether they work or not will not likely be a consequence of being attached to a single post. | |
| What’s your latest high-end audio purchase? Meanwell 12V/5A power supply this morning… Which is for the RME that arrived in the post Thursday along with a LOMC cart at the post office. | |
| Cable design is a lot like creating a pizza If you look at the construction of an RCA cable it can be very simple or can be very complicated. Eg. Audio quest higher end interconnect cables are extremely creative, the diagram on their website is visually stunning. Ultimately, Cable desig... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Who’s the moron? I think I can count a 1/2 dozen “minor morons”, if I take off my shoe… with moron in the social skills sense. and minor in the <18 behavior sense. If you want to taken as an adult, then you have some work to do in the ... | |
| What is the best tonearm for a SOTA Nova turntable? Re Mijostyn’s advice on purchasing a current driven phono stage: (1) That’s a fine idea if you plan to limit yourself to LOMC cartridges with internal resistance preferably less than 12 to 15 ohms, the lower the better, and (2) my own experience... | |
| Transients hurting my ears on hifi solid state amps Thanks @holmz for the various very good points and suggestions. Just a clarification on one point, as this is one of the things I’m trying to understand here: I doubt that the amps are any “faster”, as most amps play 20kHz just fine, and not... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing … @kuribo Ok, I know I’m feeding the troll here, but please share where one can get SOTA sound for $1000. I can’t wait to be educated. Moron. He has to be referring to the Hypex, as the purifi are more like 2k$. But the Hypex are really... | |
| Transients hurting my ears on hifi solid state amps I didn't indeed react to that part in detail. I have been to an ENT and although he could see that subjectively I was sensitive to loud noises, there was nothing physiologically wrong and nothing that could be done from a medical point of view. I... |
