| DIY Spekon Cable For Rel The current draw is small due to the high impedance input, but this is still a high-level speaker connection from your amplifier output. It is not a low level, low voltage connection and you do not need shielded cable as with low level interconnec... | |
| Linear Power Supply Recommendations! There are multiple options available for <$150 USD that provide solid voltage regulation and filtering with measurable ripple being <10μV and usually half that or less. That won't prevent some from making this exercise seem more expensive an... | |
| Just received my LHY Linear Power Supply My experience concurs with others in that I’ve found that sensitive digital devices like DACs and streamers tend to respond favorably to linear power supplies that offer better filtering and regulation than cheap wall warts. These need not be expe... | |
| Auralic Aries G2.1 connect to Holo Audio May KTE I agree with all of the above. One of the features you paid for (and received) with the Holo Audio May is USB implementation that features galvanic isolation and an accurate clock. It has been demonstrated both through independent measurements and... | |
| Let's talk about Silver... Strikingly many anecdotal accounts of silver plated copper conductors begin with, "At first ...," across various brands and types of cables. This implies the combination of these metals at first gives an impression of increased resolution, which i... | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT With SPDIF and I2S, the source controls the master clock. With asynchronous USB, the destination controls the master clock. As such, the quality of result with SPDIF and I2S is primarily dictated by the source implementation and vice versa with US... | |
| Package Has Disappeared in USPS System Anything sent via USPS should be done with the expectation that a 2-3 day package may take up to 30 days. This is entirely due to poor performance by USPS in recent years and has nothing to do with the sender. Taking the sender to task is barking ... | |
| Do I Really Need a Dedicated Streamer? There are numerous variables in play here, but perhaps the most significant question is if using your iPad as a source device maintains a bit perfect audio stream to the USB output. Interestingly enough, I believe there may an issue streaming Appl... | |
| Large speakers plus EQ, what have you done? I have large floorstanders with usable response down to 25Hz, which fits your criteria. These are positioned in a very large room with good symmetry and minimal surface reflections. The crossovers are well designed and free of glaring flaws, yield... |
