| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? @nagel You are right that the problem you had would be caused by a rogue radio, CB, or ham operator (in my day, when the FCC would actually be chasing these guys down they'd operate out of a mobile location (n.e. car/van) to stay ahead of them). ... | |
| Are your record surfaces as silent as CDs? Technically, vinyl can only give you about 60db S/N exclusive of the pre-amp (although different vinyls these days provide somewhat better that that), and CDs at least 95db+, so CDs will always be quieter. A properly designed phono pre will, itse... | |
| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? @nyev If you play an equivalent local file at the same time you have bad internet quality and it’s bad too, then it’s definitely something internal. Whatever’s causing it will be between the source and the receiver. In normal circumstances if you... | |
| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? Occam’s razor time. @nyev you’ve appear to have spent a lot of money and time on everything but a new router and good Ethernet cable.

| Higher-End Class A/B vs. Class A Integrateds @soix My response was not AI generated. For reference I used my own knowledge, and refreshed it using items such as Tremaine's Audio Cyclopedia, Wikipedia, and ChatGPT because their all decent research tools. Other than referencing them (proper... | |
| Higher-End Class A/B vs. Class A Integrateds @erik_squires What's give you the idea that I wasn't refuting your comments regarding Class A crossover distortion? I even supplied a reference to the Wikipedia page. I don't see any reference information backing your comments. And how did yo... | |
| Higher-End Class A/B vs. Class A Integrateds @erik_squires Class A amplifiers have no crossover distortion at the 0 point because they use a “single” device to handle a complete waveform. This structure is incredibly power consuming, heat creating, and low on efficiency (usually around 25%)... |
