Why SACD,DVD-A are already DEAD
Why it has taken so long for the consumer to understand what is basically common knowledge within the manufacturing community is perhaps the real question here. While I agree with the basic premise of the article, I would add that DVD-A will conti... 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
This is an interesting subject. Thanks to Houndco for starting it. As for me:1. 1997 Ford Escort SE (yeah I know, but it’s paid for?)2. 2002/3 Ford Focus WTS 3. Saleen S7 (why not dream big?) 
Remote control for a Muse DAC
Our remote code is proprietary and unique, so lacking a remote to "acquire" the IR data from; you will not be able to program a universal remote. The IR controllable functions on a Model Two Ninety Six are source select, polarity select and filter... 
What does it mean, "balanced?"
This is an area that is often misunderstood. Many, especially those within the audio community, have confused differential topologies with balanced. While many differential circuits may also be balanced, it is not necessarily true that all are. Ba... 
DVD Player & my DAC
The ability of a DVD player to allow digital output of 96 kHz material is specific to the disc. If a copy protection system (such as CSS) is utilized, then the player will either disable the S/PDIF (IEC 958) output or invoke a degrading routine (t... 
Balance ??
Actually, balanced circuits have nothing to do with signal symmetry. Rather, it refers to the balancing of the common mode impedances. In a balanced circuit, the signal is not bound to be symmetrical around an arbitrary point (like ground) but wil... 
CD Players that transmit 24bit/96kHz
In continuation to my previous post, I will attempt to clarify the matter further. The content provider will make the determination as to what content will be available (if any) in the VTS (the portion of the disc which can be read by a DVD-V play... 
CD Players that transmit 24bit/96kHz
As I have been asked to make a comment on this thread, I will attempt to give a brief response. Since this thread is titled "CD Players that transmit 24bit/96kHz" we should address this aspect first. In a word, there are none. CD players (as oppos... 
Help!! My tube pre amp is shocking me!!
What you are describing is likely an excessive leakage path from the mains to the chassis. I would discontinue use of the product until it can be evaluated and serviced. It is very possible that the leakage can accelerate to a level that can cause... 
Doubts on XLR config
Reversing the connection at either end of the speaker cable will result in exactly the same final polarity. Assuming that the cable is an unshielded variety (as most are) then the performance will be identical regardless which end you invert. Kevi... 
Can DVDs be copied to Videotapes?
The protection scheme used to prevent analog copies of DVD Video material is known as MacroVision. The protection is applied by the DVD player if invoked by the disc (a choice in the authoring step). All compliant players are required to support t... 
Shelf Material
As for Subaruguru's comment about the sitka spruce, if it does have a high Young's modulus, then it would be an excellent "shelf material". My original comment applied only to the selection of the shelf, as the title of this thread states. Once a ... 
Shelf Material
While I won't pretend to have an ability to attribute sonic characteristics to any of the proposed construction techniques; I will make the following comment. Anything that increases the mass that does not have a corresponding increase in stiffnes... 
Anti-skating question
The correct use of anti-skating bias force is to counteract the force generated by the rotating (and modulated) groove interface with the stylus. A blank album side exhibits none of the characteristics of a real record. There are a number of reaso...
