| Cable Controversy Even for short runs, I believe the benefit of eliminating cable-induced noise would outweigh any theoretical losses from restoring phase. | |
| Cable Controversy Ok, but even for short runs, I don't agree that a single ended cable will outperform a balanced cable. There may be exceptions, but in general, I think its accepted that balanced cable is an advance over single ended. | |
| Cable Controversy "Obviously, many well regarded designers believe the benefits of a single ended topology significantly outweigh the benefits of common mode noise rejection"That's news to me. Quite different from the commonly expressed view that for short runs, ... | |
| Cable Controversy I would love to sit down and talk with this person, and I will make it worth their while:He/she would be an experienced listener with intact hearing, and a good working knowledge of acoustics and electrical engineering. He/she would be in possess... | |
| Cable Controversy "...as many answers as responders...as to which cables are best." Yes, and its very system-dependent. I would like to believe that some designs are better than others, but what makes one cable better than another?For example, if a cable makes a me... | |
| Cable Controversy Here's another example: At least one popular manufacturer of speaker cables and interconnects claims that the goal of cable design is to do no harm to the signal, or as little harm as possible. Is that is indeed the goal of cable design? And if s... | |
| Why do almost all women today hate home audio? Complexity: Setting up a system was much simpler in the days of receivers, lampcord, and turntables with integrated tonearms. Now we have separates, 'girthy' cables, and computer audio. The complexity can be intimidating.Marketing: The ads and the... | |
| Elation imposters! Its not the central issue here, but the statement that only a fool would cut a cable down is nonsense. There's absolutely no reason that a 'cut down' cable wouldn't perform just as well as the original size. Its not difficult to find cable manufac... | |
| MAC Book Pro Computer vs Aurender N100h vs Aurender N10 Music Servers The N10 is a nice unit, sounds great, marginally better sounding than a Macbook. But be aware that having to use an Ipad to control a device is a mixed blessing. If your internet or network is down, your music will be inaccessible. That is the cur... | |
| Entreq Silver Tellus grounding/earthing system Nice plug for Richard Gray. Unfortunately its a completely different product. | |
| Elation imposters! I once asked Joe if he would be willing to shorten some cables that were available on the secondary market. He declined. | |
| Wish to Correspond with Anyone with an Amazon Turntable I had one. They are a very nice turntable. The filaments should last a long time if the tension is set correctly. Considering the price of the turntable, I'd suggest sticking with the stock filaments. | |
| Speaker Driver Material & The Sound of Dissimilar Materials All of this is a good argument for multidriver speakers. A given driver, with its mass, stiffness, and many other properties, can handle only a limited range of frequencies convincingly. A single driver design can play coherently and pleasingly, b... | |
| Why do you give bad advice? C'mon guys, the original poster is just messin' with you. You think he really has a problem with listening before deciding? If so there's a nice bridge you might be interested in buying. | |
| What's going on with the audio market? The same thing is occurring in other luxury sectors. For example, sales of mechanical watches are also hurting. The slowdown in Asia is a major factor. Another is the problem of oversupply. This stuff has a long lifespan, unlike a cellphone. Wit... |
