| Why Power Cables Affect Sound Don’t think that all that glitters is only gold. It’s really a false proffecy. A decent power supply will present a very low impedance to anything but low frequency AC (50/60Hz). Now, think about how a voltage divider works. It drops voltage propo... | |
| Data cable needs for best performance. Cat X? In the real world, data centres use cat6. | |
| Data cable needs for best performance. Cat X? 4K will only become a reality in streaming with compression. Native bandwidth is 6gb/s, but with J2K compression it comes down to 800mb/s. The new SMPTE standards (1 yr old) are just being extended to include compression and we could see a publish... | |
| Data cable needs for best performance. Cat X? Consider the bandwidth limitations of your Internet service. Chances are you will never exceed 1Gb/s. Cat 5 will easily accommodate your needs, but cat 5e is the minimum you can commercially obtain these days. Cat 6 or higher is just a waste of mo... | |
| I lost an m7 set screw. What do I do? You’re in way over your head. Get a professional installer so you don’t end up with an electrical fire 🔥. | |
| No right channel in new cartridge One thing: it is sometimes the case that pin orientation is different from cartridge to cartridge. Maybe it’s just miswired. | |

Bad news on the installation was due to the change in Burson’s casing, the footprint was too tight to fit where the 8 pin DIP was, so ... | |
| How to pre clean a very dirty LP before Ultrasound Machine? @paulcreed Reagent Lab water about $9 bucks a gallon at Carolina Biological where I bought it. Don’t support Carolina Biological Supply. They are one of the most despicable businesses on the face of the planet. They are well known for abusing anim... | |
| Affordable integrated pure class A? Along the lines of vintage gear, if you are willing to veer off the path to class B, NAD integrated amps are famous for delivering hifi sound quality on a tight budget. I’ve gone that route with a pair of NADs (3225PE + 3020i) bi-amped to power my... | |
| Mispressed Record, Don Mclean Tapestry UAS-5522 Maybe you are using only Rega turntables. Rumours have it they play a little faster than 33-1/3 rpm. | |
| RMS Power? @williewonka Hmmm - I think I’ll elect to - NOT loose any sleep over it.Umm, it’s “lose”, not “loose”. Uggghhhh! | |
| Snake oil came first. By a likely ~ +50k years Hel-loo! Geoffy “Toiletbreath” The Fuse and Snake Oil Troll is just a pathetic janitor suffering from fear of self inadequacy. There is no help or hope for such an unfortunate. Toot toot toot! Get on the self improvement train 🚂 🚂 🚂 Geoffy, if you... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification I’ll stick with class AB thanks very much. Square waves don’t belong anywhere in HiFi IMHO. | |
| Best Phone Stage for under $1,000.000 Not sure what a “Phone Stage” is. | |
