| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic @mrdecibel I think the MA assemblies with the SSI tech wires are “conventional” in nature (think Canare Starquad but only at a much higher level with respect to one type of conductor). | |
| Am I using the right speaker cables? Let’s review:(1) cable burn-in won’t solve bad cable connections;(2) speaker placement in room won’t solve bad cable connections;(3) cable brand changes won’t solve bad cable connections; and (4) equalization won’t solve bad cable connections, BUT... | |
| AES/EBU suggestions for Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ and PS Audio PerfectWave Transport I recommend Have Inc. I own three of these puppies. Canare cable and Neutrik XLR connectors are pro gear. Highly rated. And $25 for a 2ft run. Sure, you can spend $400 on the Kimber cable but why break the bank? Here’s a link: http://store.haveinc... | |
| Have transports improved for Redbook CD playback? What’s it mean to be a “single speed player,” such as the Primeforce CDT-8 Pro?Are universal players multi-speed players? And don’t Redbook players vary speed as a function of disc reading location? | |
| XLR out on a tuner? @n80. Weird. | |
| XLR out on a tuner? Al, 1+Denon appears to adjust their output voltages as they seem fit. It’s 500mV for both outputs of the DN-300H (otherwise, they would have stated so if they differed). It’s different for their internet tuner, but they do specify output level dif... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? My recollection of the tape vs vinyl comparisons stemmed largely from comparing open reel to reel tapes at 30ips vs 33rpm vinyl. Under only those circumstances did tape even come close to besting vinyl. Now if one talks about open mic recordings o... | |
| XLR out on a tuner? As Cleeds said, if they used an op-amp on the XLR outputs to “split” the signal for balanced output, then each signal conductor would carry 1/2 the voltage. So that likely explains the equivalent voltage outputs from both balanced and single-ended... | |
| Have transports improved for Redbook CD playback? Ok. Bad look up from your earlier post. Thanks. | |
| XLR out on a tuner? Based on the Denon specs sheet, output voltage is the same regardless of the output selected. That’s not usually the case if the XLR outputs derive from a balanced circuit. Compare with the MD tuners having balanced XLR outs vs their RCA outs. The... | |
| Have transports improved for Redbook CD playback? @fixedincome It seems as though the Cambridge unit is a complete blu-ray player (with built-in DAC). | |
| Is Social Media the demise of audio review publications? I think we can reach a consensus that few to no bots exist in these forum threads... | |
| Have transports improved for Redbook CD playback? I’m going to compare my SF Ultra Jitterbug against my EA Synchro-Mesh/OTL reclocker using my CAL Delta into my Theta DS Pro Basic IIIA DAC. The Synchro-Mesh/OTL reclocker has significantly lower jitter than the Ultra Jitterbug on it’s output to th... | |
| Have transports improved for Redbook CD playback? @jl35 Your transport suggestion of the Nuprime CDT-8 Pro is intriguing. Seems to do a lot for the $$$. | |
| Have transports improved for Redbook CD playback? @jond I’m open on budget for a new transport. @erik_squires I ordered an Emperical Audio Synchro-Mesh reclocker. It seems as though that is where a significant improvement in signal processing might arise. |
