| Very good AES presentation on inter connects and ground loops. Folks, because something CAN, does not mean it DOES. Listen to your system yourself and see if you have any of these problems only copious amounts of money will solve. With my preamp turned all the way up, I hear dead silence right next to my sp... | |
| Very good AES presentation on inter connects and ground loops. As helpful as Amir is, and he is a real engineer, there are some gaps. I have no issues using PCs as music servers, but I use correctly designed isolated USB DACs and "decent" cables. All my system is plugged into the same power DC blocked and f... | |
| Recommend me a DAC under 3k Even Jason suggests the Bifrost 2/64 is a match for the Iggy. Do not overlook less expensive units. Of everything I have had in my system, my cheap JDS Atom+ has been the best overall. ( $99) I too am looking at the Enyo (Aries with new price)... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At Mil, Well, I have been listening to a lot of DACs and several amps. I find very large differences. Yes, the Benchmark amp is dead flat, super low distortion, but to me it sounds lifeless. Just for fun, I grabbed a Fosi V3 ( also super low numbe... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At Just a thought but it seems counter productive to focus on top notch vinyl and stick a DSP unit in the middle of the chain. Of course, we have no idea how many A2D and D2A happened before the record was mastered, just like the old analog tape mast... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At inna makes a point. The difference between playing music and playing with music. When I sold my LPs, I made the decision I would rather spend my time playing music. Both completely valid and isn't it wonderful we have the choice! FWIW, I had... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At None of tyhat is necessary. Rational people will buy a nice table radio and just listen. If they want a real experience, they will go to live music. The rest of us are crazy. Where to stop? Well, do you hear a defect you want to correct, or jus... | |
| How is Quality and Customer Service defined in the 21st Century? Do not confuse the consumer concept of "quality" with the manufacturing definition. Quality as we see is is does it work and for a long time. In manufacturing, "quality" is if you built what you intended and how long it lasts is "reliability" I... | |
| Dedicated line (almost) A simple DC blocker ( Emotiva makes a good one) will take care of any LED or dimmer DC issues if you detect adverse hum coming from usually toroid core transformers. No impact to the sound from the speakers though. Nothing more than a ferrite on ... | |
| What happen to MQA on Tidal? MQA was a flop. For better or worse. I expect to see Atmos follow suit. | |
| Why on earth? Maybe you forgot the foil triangles on all the door corners. 🤣 | |
| Why on earth? Differences in tubes over You-Tube? Must be really really dramatic with linear and non linear distortions in double digits. Well, some tubes are that bad so OK. Going NOS I assume? Ukraine sourced? Russian or Czeck? | |
| Why on earth? I guess the worst clips are those that try, well meaning but wrong, or intentionally false to sell their product, to be technical or objective. One well meaning attempt by a subjective reviewer to do an objective test of USB cables described a t... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? One more thing. I am not aware of any PC based software that can do all the DSP work on the host and feed multiple DACs in WASAPI or ASIO without an external master clock. On the pro studio side, yea, not consumer level. | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? True bi-amping bypasses the internal crossovers so you must modify the speaker internally. You must use an external electronic crossover of which there are few analog ones ( I have used the X-Kits for main/sub) or go digital like the MiniDSP. PA ... |
