| Differences between cd transports? As long as data from CD is bit perfect the only thing that affects the sound is jitter. Jitter, having many different forms (correlated, uncorrelated etc.), can produce many sound signatures. D/A converter word clock's time variation (jitter) co... | |
| Differences between cd transports? Some DACs perform better with Toslink than USB/coax/etc., so a blanket statement about which input is best for a specific DAC can’t be made. That's why I said "often". | |
| Differences between cd transports? Toslink often sounds worse than coax, in spite of immunity to external electrical noise or not creating ground loops. It is because optical transmitters are slow. Light is moving fast, of course, but transitions are slow making moment of detecti... | |
| Dac hookup.... Ishkabibil, perhaps you meant server. Streamer delivers music from the outside of your home (internet) and often requires different hardware. | |
| Dac hookup.... I use wireless because my DAC is on the opposite wall from my computer and there is no easy way to run ethernet cable. My wireless receiver operates on 5GHz band since 2.4GHz is polluted and has only 3 non-overlapping channels (1,6,11). I also f... | |
| Added AC line chokes inside CD changer... Really? | |
| Added AC line chokes inside CD changer... How can you get inductive reactance without inductance or how you can have inductance when inductive reactance is zero. Common mode choke inductance measured in normal mode configuration will be zero or close to zero. That is pretty much how bif... | |
| Added AC line chokes inside CD changer... @ sleepwalker65 Inductance of common mode choke is not constant. It has inductance for common mode signals and no inductance for normal mode signals.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choke_(electronics) | |
| Why Sinatra??? I remember dialog from futuristic TV series "Orville":- There was a contest, long time ago on planet Earth, called American Idol, to find out who sings the best.- But, why???- These were dark times.Each of mentioned singers is so different and som... | |
| Volume level for slightly overpowered amp Power in watts vs volume knob position is not linear - it is exponential (since human hearing is logarithmic). When you set volume pot at 50% of the peak volume position amp will produce 10% of max power (1/2 of volume = 1/10 of power). Assuming... | |
| Added AC line chokes inside CD changer... This Corcom filter sound like better idea. It is basically a common mode choke. When you wind two wires, hot and return, on the toroidal core it becomes common mode choke. Such choke presents inductance for common mode signals and no inductance... | |
| WiFi extender needed for residence? I'm confused. You're asking about WiFi extender, but mentioned Bluetooth receiver? | |
| Latest ICEpower 1200AS2 based amplifier news / updates / reviews / opinions I'm not sure if there is any sound difference between true dual mono and stereo, since 1200AS2 power supply is tightly line and load regulated SMPS. | |
| Latest ICEpower 1200AS2 based amplifier news / updates / reviews / opinions In order to convert 6 channels into two you would need to connect 3 amps in parallel for each speaker and that is dangerous. Amplifier was not designed for that. Most likely each channel has slightly different gain and phase shift resulting in on... | |
| Furman Elite 15 PFi - how to tell if everything is working Toolbox149, I have Elite 20PFI. Any filtering choke in series will produce voltage drops, very big with most of linear power supplies, that draw the current from the mains in narrow pulses of very high amplitude. Furman in addition to big choke ... |
