[quote user="Jorge"] Anyway a couple of months ago a friend brought over a modded Denon multiplayer, I dont remember the model (I could look it up), it was highly modded, we were testing it with a projector and its Blue Ray capabilities, he then i...

Do not acquire an audio elements for your playback before you are able to identify what exactly wrong with your current element and which specific property of your current element’ performance do not satisfy you. There is a huge army of Morons ™ out ...

Paul, Please be careful here because good ol' USA is quite different when using residential pole mounted feeder transformers.What you may have is a neutral wire coming off of the 0 volts tap of the 120-0-120 secondary. This center tap is connected ...

In my case, I have not observed any fluctuations in sound quality other than those resulting from my own state of fatigue (maybe they are doing something right with power generation/distribution over here... I don't see many complaints coming from ou...

But why would you consider brass connectors because of 95% of boutique RCA if the idea is to wind up with the best signal path?Probably, you will not use continuous wire from the cartridge coil, and you will probably not solder but use some sort of c...

Ric, let's keep the digital cable thread about digital cable and "compare sampling/resolution options" here.As for my problems with digital sound, again, I have covered these at length in my "Digi Redux" thread, and in Romy's SACD thread. Again, in ...

Romy,His website has a lot more information than that:Do lossless compressed audio formats all sound the same?http://archimago.blogspot.pt/2013/05/measurements-do-lossless-compressed.htmlDigital Filters and Impulse Response...http://archimago.blogspo...

Thanks for the advice Romy.But actually, I may not need new tweeters after all (for the time being, at least, until the dreaded 'Autumn Sound' arrives).You see, when I connected them up, I didn't really think too carefully about the speaker...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]If you do not have the same effect as reel tape of 15ips played at 9ips then your software is not truly slaved by Pacific/ AFI1 chain.[/quote]Yes, I totally agree.And I can indeed replicate this effect... but only with my R...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Very briefly answering you question, this it is not in the frame of the thread.
Lavry’s SPIDIF interface is not good. Since the only digital cable that I accept was Synopsis, I was trying to use it with Lavry. For whateve...

[quote user="rowuk"]In live music, we have intermodulation. Two trumpets or a trumpet and oboe playing together create sum and difference tones that change depending on pitch interval for instance. For music in major keys, this intermodulation is add...

Who knows why, but I can get away with running tiny, unshielded 6N POCC Cu arm wires straight into my step-up transformer. OTOH, I absolutely have to use shielded cable for the run between my step-up tranny and the K&K. For well-shielded phono ...

If I succeed to make my midbass horn at attic then I will face another problem that I do not know how to address at this point. The horns will be powered from Melquiades bass channels – it means it will use a good 70 feet speaker cable. If I go with ...

It looks good to me. As you can see I have left plenty of room to add a couple of more channels.The bottom level contains the power transformers and relays. The diode bridges hang from the the middle shelf and the chokes and filters are on the top ...

Well, what I have learned after a few experiments and some education is that Bluetooth, regardless quality of implementation is garbage, FM transmission is fine but to do it at more or less acceptable level it will be costly. So, I decided to take ad...

Romy,Try wrapping a copper wire around a power cable, then "inject" it into the power line through an isolation transformer. The wrapping only to help defeat the antenna event of other signal sources that only have one vector.et all,For cables, the m...

I think I need to isolate this type into own group. This is own special bread of idiots, presented explicitly within internet whose trepidation about own brand of cable elevators make them to get any comments about anything that reminds a cable eleva...

these are my findings about computer audio after some trial error:1. computer audio is very very hardware/OS/software dependent. computer structure is multi task (time sharing) and using it as a real time single task processor is not easy.even small ...

[quote user="drdna"] Option #2 is appealing since it will free up a lot of space and make the equipment more cat-proof. I was thrilled to come home a month ago to find the tonearm wires chewed through and the tonearm swinging freely. [/qu...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do not know how about 5dB attenuation
via cable but for sure cables sound very different. Hey you are talking to a person
who have a small fortune spent for wiring my entire system with vintage Dominos
and I never felt...

[quote user="PurePower"]p.s. Do not follow the advice of creating a new ground for the audio system alone. Multiple grounds can cause very dangerous, even lethal, unintended consequences.[/quote]
Actually it is incorrect. I do understand why a...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Yes, I have thought about it. My Placette has no tape loop but I think it needs to be added. It is shame that I did not think about it before – it would save me some cable not to mention an ability to run A/D from anyt...

[quote user="Amir"]fiogf49gjkf0dfi guess the problem come from usb cable. these designers like AC Conditioner designers just kill dynamics. they remove noise but then kill the dynamic.[/quote]the dynamic increased after power cord break-in and using ...

Thank you, Telus. I will try to give this the consideration it deserves.Which sets me to ponder the fact that the Belkin cable actually does "condense" the signal somewhat, while a single synapse is not much to go on, either...Best regards,Paul S...

[quote user="miab"]I have not seen it mentioned but I might of missed it. The PurePower absolutely demands shielded interconnects especially between preamp and amp in my experience. No matter how careful I route the cables, I was getting noise or buz...

Paul,Have you tried Neutrik powerCON? Do you have any opinion about them? I personally like the locking system idea.EDIT: not power cord but digital, ANUK have a Palladium plated SILVER foil cable (Black Pallas). Have you tried anything palladium?Ch...

Alex, I have never made anything hi-fi for fun, but only if I thought I could do as well or better than anything suitable that I could find and also afford. I think I've detailed constructions I've used in the Cable thread, which is where this stuff ...

The truth of the matter is that I believe that true quality has nothing do with audio systems, high resolution or otherwise.How many good musicians are audiophiles? and does it matter?They can listen via an Internet Radio and enjoy as the music is in...
