| Ethernet cable for TV Want to know what makes a bigger difference than changing cables? Using an old OC as a pfSense server or rather an old PC that acts as a router. I used an old i7 4770 with a dual 1Gb card, and it was a huge difference compared to my flashed R7 u... | |
| speaker cable that would work under a rug Parts Express still sells the Audtek braided speaker cable that is flat, and meant for exactly this purpose. | |
| What do you all make of this psuedo-science All recordings are re-recorded. And a master is just some engineers idea of what it should sound like or in partnership with the producer. But if you decide that is what should sound best to you, as in the baseline, you've already failed yoursel... | |
| Power conditioner/strip How about buying an actual power conditioner that meets actual, stringent standards and specifications? I dont know what your power requirements are so ill just use a somewhat worst-case scenario and suggest an Ametek Powervar ABC1200-11 or heck,... | |
| To All Cable Deniers, 1 Very Simple Question. I think the problem is that people always ask the wrong questions or ask them with the wrong potential answers in mind. A better question would be can a difference in conductor materials make a difference audible to the ear? If you hear a dif... | |
| USB wires What is true is that a cable that is properly functioning should not influence the sound. BUT this discounts everything else about the hardware it is connected to. For instance, DAC IC's. If you like datasheets, you'll notice that IC specs are ... | |
| Why not acoustic suspension? @dynamiclinearity After this thread sparked my memory about those old speakers, which i thought, in my youth, were just white van speakers, I went googling and realized that what I actually owned were the ESS-made Cannon TLS 1030's. 😭 | |
| Why not acoustic suspension? I have completely forgotten the name of the speakers I had as a kid. They used passive radiators in the back, so they were in-between i suppose. But one day I removed the passive radiators, and sealed the holes shut with some round, wooden d... | |
| Just Stop! - Posting Audio Clips on YouTube Wait until he discovers the "Rate my system" or "how’d i do" threads in the audio subforums on reddit. | |
| Upgrade DAC Power Supply, Streamer, or ? I would say, before you change anything about any of your equipment, get an Ametek Powervar power conditioner behind all of it. You can get it in a medical-grade with 20 amp outlets if need be. Just adding this behind my PC, DAC and headphone am... | |
| why do expensive amplifiers produce a better soundstage In my experience, different DAC's made for better soundstage. And later, on a particular DAC, upgrading the capacitors in the signal path to films increased the clarity and soundstage / imaging. I'd say if you changed ower amps and noticed be... | |
| Upgrading pre amp advice. Perhaps, consider having your current pre re-worked? I see it has tantalums in the buffer stages. Tantalums are fast, and whoever decided it needs them probably had a goal in mind that doesnt agree with your hearing. Maybe replace the tantalums... | |
| 1-1/2 Watts? @rivington66 Exactly! I was just thinking of Mr. Deckert and his redesigned Jensen Imperials when i saw this thread. | |
| How long for an HDMI cable to break in. Drink 48 ounces of blueberry vodka, then test again and report. | |
| Is fiber optic internet I moved from 800Mbps cable internet, running on a pfSense server to 10Gbps fiber, and immediately, the jitter measured only a fraction of what the cable had as well as latency. Running a pfSense server on an old i7-4770 with 32GB RAM and Intel se... |
