| Different lengths of interconnects ?????? The reason the price is right is because he can't sell this odd pair. When you get ready to move on you'll be stuck with them too.At the speed of light it would take the signal .000000005 seconds longer to travel down the longer cable. Sound trave... | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? No problem, in the pursuit of audiophile nirvana I am willing to scale Mt. Everest with a few thousand records and clean them there. | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? If water boils at 212 degrees how can you get steam at 180? | |
| Soldering 101 for Audiophiles Don't follow the directions in step 4. You need a mechanical as well as an electrical connection. This means you can't just tin both pieces, touch them together, melt the solder, remove the heat, and hold it until it solidifies. Any movement befor... | |
| The Most Minimal System There are integrateds with a USB DAC input so you would only need the PC and speakers. | |
| Trying to maximize bass response ...... While flat is a worthy goal it is pretty much impossible to obtain in a room. Music is usually a series of impulses (notes) not test signals. I bet if you played a series of notes from 32 to 50Hz or above on a bass guitar you wouldn't perceive tha... | |
| Trying to maximize bass response ...... That's not bad at all considering the meter isn't all that accurate. You must be sitting in a spot where these frequencies cancel. Move things about.I believe the parc is only for reducing, not boosting to fill in. | |

Then hooking an external DAC (24bit/96KHz) to this port through an optical cable, MacBook... | |
| Balanced ----- Unbalanced---- It is better for that application butI don't have any transcontinental phone lines in my listening room. I also don't have any noise with 107dB speakers.We're going in circles. | |
| Balanced ----- Unbalanced---- How can you dismiss the benefits of common mode noise rejection?How much noise can you pick up in a few feet of cable?The benefit is that you can use a cheap cable to the same effect as a really expensive cable- effectively eliminating a cost in y... | |
| Balanced ----- Unbalanced---- Ralph, we've had this conversation numerous times. Just as firmly as you believe in the benefits, I believe that the simplicity of SET and SE outweighs them in the home enviroment. I don't think either of us will be swayed by the others arguments.... | |
| Balanced ----- Unbalanced---- No one can say that they are or are not necessary in your home environmentThey are not necessary in the home enviroment. The connectors are better but the topology is not. | |
| Balanced ----- Unbalanced---- The physical connection of the XLR is better. They lock together and the contact from pin to socket is better. There is a clear standard so you can use connectors from different manufacturer's and not worry if they mate well.There is no real stand... | |
| Balanced ----- Unbalanced---- I didn't accuse you of trying to sell anything to the guy, but as manufacturer of balanced equipment you have a vested interest in promoting that format. Someone considering SE or balanced should be aware of that.We're not talking about 150 foot m... | |
