| Vinyl to DVD-A 24/96 vs. Redbook Vegas, What hardware and software are you using to do the D to A? | |
| Levinson 20.5 monos - Time for a Refurb? "if it's not broke don't fix" will only take you so far. What about preventative maintenance.? Your car runs fine but you change the oil every so often.Electrolytic capacitors lose capacitance, start to leak DC, and have an increase in ESR as they... | |
| USB-S/PDIF Converter or USB DAC? Gordon Rankin at Wavelength claims that his DACs are not isochronous, he says they are bidirectional with error corrrection.Even those that are, if they properly re-clock the data, should be about as jitter free as you can get.Steve, heard anymore... | |
| Anyone ever tried using a power amp to make 120VAC Yes, I am doing it. An audio signal generator can be used as the front end. That will allow you to vary the frequency too. You could just use a step down from the incoming line and filter the output to clean it up before feeding it to the power am... | |
| Very short speaker cable length recommended? I believe the professionals who design and build the cables not the amateur listener.Yes, very wise. I would always go with the opinion of the industry professional. I think to settle the debate we should consult Dr. Bose and see what he has to sa... | |
| Very short speaker cable length recommended? There is no empirical data to support this I tried very short cables and it was bright and irritating.I tried longer cables of the same type and it sounded very good.I tried various other short wires with the same effect, bright and irritating.I p... | |

| How to handle infant mortality of Svet 6550C? Sorry Elevick, but you are completely backwards in your assessment. It is HIGHLY unusual for a resistor to fail on it's own while is extremely common for a tube to fail in a catastrophic manner and take other components with it.Rey, what does the ... | |
| CD format war and resultant music players heard anything conclusive reports from reliable sources that the whole setup is leap and bound above all CDP available out there.Nor will you. It is not "leaps and bounds above." How could it be? A lot of people have been working very hard for a ... | |
| Kimber vs Jensen coupling caps in Cary amps Coupling caps are not a must in tube amps. All of my amp stages are transformer coupled and the only caps are oil/film caps in the power supplies. | |
| CD format war and resultant music players You can use any DAC in the world with a music server. A well designed computer can be dead quiet. This technology has been around for many years. In what way do you think this is infant technology? Digital is constantly changing and will continue ... | |
| Pantode and Tetrode What is the difference? ya just gotta love the forum police | |
| Pantode and Tetrode What is the difference? If your amp allows you to bias each tube separately then being matched is not important as long as they are reasonably close. If your amp biases them as pairs or quads then they should be matched. If you mix them up you must have a tube tester to ... | |
| CD format war and resultant music players Mr Svhoang, the future is now. it is here. Search the net and you will find a large number of USB DACs at various price points.There is no such thing as an audiophile computer or hard drive. There are a number of programs that make bit perfect cop... |
