| Help with multi post capacitor. T in VRT stands for 3 dummy terminals, used for support only.VQT and VRT appear to be the same other then size of pins, so look in attached link for the drawing of VQT layout. Pins marked with asterisk are dummy (A,B,D). They not supposed to be ... | |
| Benchmark 1, 2 & 3 DAC1 was extremely clean, but a little thin sounding in the lower midrange. Replacing op-amps made sound a little more vivid and fuller, but DAC3 is much better overall. Sound is still very clean and extended on both ends, but midrange sounds much... | |
| Electrolytics Question AGAIN They simply dry out. Dry capacitor has increased ESR (equivalent series resistance) resulting in poor control of the bass.When ESR gets high capacitor gets hot from the current flowing thru it. Increased temperature increases ESR even more and ... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker Thank you hifidream, mapman | |
| Question about in home AV DIY calibration. Many years ago I bought new TV that had horrible, unnatural, oversaturated and over-contrasted picture. I found detailed settings (a lot of them) for this TV on internet and typed it all in. Picture is great now. It is possible that person who ... | |
| Filter capacitor issue Skymunky57, Capacitor blew the top because of increased pressure caused by rapid temperature increase, caused by excessive current. Most likely rectifier is damaged (causing short) possibly without damage to rest of the circuit (you might be very... | |
| Does a ripped cd onto a digital format sound better than the cd played on the cdp Spatialking, reflections in digital cable, from impedance boundary, are related to highest rate of change and not the frequency of the signal. The rule of thumb says, that if signal propagation is longer than 1/8 of the fastest transition time t... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound Mrdecibel, let's not forget about negative placebo effect - if you strongly believe that cable doesn't make any difference then it won't make a difference for you. | |
| Does a ripped cd onto a digital format sound better than the cd played on the cdp Thanks Steve. Of course "received" is a big simplification. The moment of D/A conversion does not have to to be the same as moment of data arrival, but often conversion clock is based on incoming data rate to avoid getting out of sync (losing data... | |
| Does a ripped cd onto a digital format sound better than the cd played on the cdp Thank you Sbank. Let me give small example why bits are not the bits.When we attempt to do something very simple like sending digital signal representing 1kHz we might actually receive three different signals. It is because in order to produce onl... | |
| Does a ripped cd onto a digital format sound better than the cd played on the cdp Jitter can be added two ways - either during transmission of digital signal that can influence D/A clock or by inducing electrical noise, that produces time jitter (point in time of signal crossing threshold changes when signal has added noise). I... | |
| Does a ripped cd onto a digital format sound better than the cd played on the cdp Then how is it that some "digital" cables sound better than others? Or do you deny that?Let me answer that. There might be three reasons.1. Digital cable injects electrical noise from the source (computer) or this noise is induced from ambient ele... | |
| Does a ripped cd onto a digital format sound better than the cd played on the cdp Veroman, it is hard to compare since playback gear is different. On the brand new CD it might not make any difference, but scratched CD is different story. Most of CDPs cannot correct errors (cannot read again), playing in real time. They can corr... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker Thank you Al, but I lost all hope - it is almost 6 months now and no improvement. All audio tests show -95dB. My doctor says it was most likely a virus from the shingles variety. After 15 sessions in hiperbaric chamber and two direct injections... | |
| A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital.. I'm not sure what this means, but nothing is perfect.That's all I'm saying. |
