[quote user="jp"]In my experimentations, the da924 doesnt contribute much noise in my setup. Rather in my setup its the lavry ad122 thats the trouble maker. When all digital is turned off I have a very quiet background. Here are my observations...

There is another very good article with the simple resistors conversion network.

Still, I would like to make it “kosher” and have ordered the double adaptor with a transformer from RedCo:

But it is only the interconnects to the
amplifiers that need to be longer...no others...speaker cables stay as is...all
cables into the preamp stay as is. Longer interconnects is not an issue
in any way that I know of...bu...

1) GND NOISE
After more experiments, I can proclaim a victory over the 100Hz noise on my End of life phono. For whatever reason the GND connection does not want to run in a close physical proximity of the line and n...

[quote user="George"] The remote is not a problem. Using a Xantech distributer, repeaters, and electric eye you can configure the two passive remotes in a foolproof, or nearly foolpoof, manner for about $75-100 total. Since I already had the basic Xa...

Thanks, Clark, I will go with regular commercial Romex. There is no such a thing as “specialty AC cable” and the thing that they write about their cable is crap in my estimation. “Our custom high-end Power AC In-wall cable is a 10 AWG (5.27 mm2), spe...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]OK, everything was fine and I might do into the sonic nuances of the PurePower unit. The PurePower drives a lot of switching nose from output. It has the filters but they help only partially. Adding capacitance to the PureP...

I have heard of this but was rather suspicious simply because they are also marketing digital cables "which make digital sound like analogue" Where have we heard that before? What I read sounded not that different from the supposed operation and effe...

I ordered full set of Purist audio neptune series , midrange is far better than other cables.I love the tone. Jim told us the closest sound to previous dominus (before year 2001) sound is neptune series.Purist Audio Factory Tourhttp://www.euphonia-a...

Have you considered "fencing" your equipment bay?Such a baby-proof fence might actually be made to look nice (more so in a large room such as yours) and you wouldn't have to reposition all your equipment and cables...again.Ric...

user="anthony"] Plenty
of thought has gone into the speaker cables largely because there are plenty of
them and I would prefer for them to be hidden completely from view. Five

Because the Yamaha units are just not available in Aus and I do not feel paying $250 shipping for something 20yo and probably in need of a recap I ended up going with the MX400. It is less expensive here, brand-new and while getting used to things I...

I find the fascination of boutique parts amusing. In the case of vintage tubes, using them is a guarantee that one day you will never be able to replace them. In my world, I want to optimize with „sensible“ parts, maybe even stockpile some extra tube...

Paul,if one wants to learn abpout the effect of a variable, one must keep everything else constant, as I'm sure you're aware.I hear greater differences between connectors than between cables which are reasonably similar electrically. ...

It look like the project progress well. I have a little concern
about heat the will be building up in your PS enclosure. I do not know what
kind ventilation hole you have in there but be advised that it will be quite

Why not try to build on/off the best one has gotten to date? Without some kind of a pivot, there is only drifting; plus, it's got to be nice to have a fall-back position. I'd be perfectly happy to just BUY the damned cable, believe me, if...

Do you REALLY need one?
Why SHOULD you need one?
A buffer is "simply" a device for converting impedance from high to low to drive cables but every such device loses information in the process.
With a 47R ouput impedance surely your Bidat has ...

I’m sorry, I’m not getting you. Where did you use those caps and what values/voltage do you use? I never use any Cardas caps. Their cables are notorious crap, why do you feel that this caps should be better?...

My point was that a volume control on the input of a DSP is the worst of all solutions. Either lose the DSP (best solution) or create a multichannel attenuator for the output. It will need low impedance to drive long cables - that means an active buf...

If ethernet , sata cables disrupt the data flow in manner to be audible what will happens with an database, file systems..etc :) . I know - they will fail miserably in a mater of milliseconds and no any error correction algorithm can cope with that t...

You do not have other ways to connect then how you have connected as in your case of M-Audio card you have AD and DA abort to you DAW. I would load with ferrite in common and deferential mode the cables that go to tuner and play with the way how you ...

Thank you Paul! Very clever idea with the noise drain wire (I saw it also in of the Belden cables, 19634)Unfortunately in my case I have to ground via the power cord (no chance for a dedicated ground).Tried to locate Ohno Cu plugs to no result, will ...

Seriously, those rear firing woofers (with bass reflex, driven by SET and only internal passive speaker covers) could be one point worth ridicule. The length of the cables, and size and probable acoustic deadness of the room, might be others. There...

You are correct that tungsten must be welded, as it will not wet with commonly available solder. Given the wire gauge and application to electronic circuitry, you might weld to a solderable metal on the ends, but for the use as a speaker wire, I foun...

Perhaps on a given planet it might make sense to use a Tannoy DMT 10 or Sterling HE as the Oops channel AND the Always On Channel, just by swapping or switching the cables, per function? I mention it because these are two potenti...

In the past you've referred to current loading in the context of cable length. I recently experienced this when I experimented with moving my amps. I needed to increase the IC length from 1 meter to 3 meters. The only IC I had at that length was an o...

Actually I need to correct myself. The purist with leaked out fluid do not change sound with the fully filed cables. The completely dried out cans with no residue of the fluid at all do have sonic results. The dried out Purist has a typical unpleasan...
