Any one measured the EMI/RFI attenuation performance of audiophile power conditioners?
What will you do with the attenuation performance data of a power conditioner, if you ever get it?  Will you have the power coming into your home analyzed to determine the best fit power conditioner for your needs?  Is getting this performance inf...

Deep_333, I know what you are saying.  We had some test equipment that has to measure in the 6 ma range.  These stands were decades old but suddenly we could not get a quiet enough signal to pass final test.  My theory was that the new solar farm ...

Another thought is that in order to publish performance data and avoid litigation, manufacturers must maintain a test lab’s certification and calibration and possibly have their test results certified by an independent laboratory.  That is not che...

I know, it's like talking about the weather.  I have the Niagara 5000.  It is also an obvious improvement for me.  Expensive and not as much fun as buying an amp, DAC or speakers but the improvement in sound is unmistakable for me.

My first thought is manufacturers of PC’s prefer to keep their performance data proprietary as much as they can.  Why give their competitors easy access to performance data or also, it becomes a specification contest with no connection to sonic pe...

The problem is that too many variables exist to definitively say this PC will make this system sound better in this way or another system will sound about the same with or without the PC.  These manufacturers are making a product that reduces line...

EMI testing requires a Faraday cage.  The video with the FFT analyzer testing the effectiveness of a PC on an amp is fun to watch but keep in mind that this is a comparative test.  Like when we listen to a stereo component, we compare it to someth... 
What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good.
+1 phantom_av.  I find the Aeries Cerat Hele’ne captivating.  It’s not just the wonderful sound and large soundstage but the Hele’ne has rhythm and pace like analog.  I have not heard a lot of DACs in my home; but when I put the Hele’ne in my syst...

Qualities Of An End-game System
The music transports you to the scene.  You feel like you are in a club or a blues bar or a concert hall or a rock concert, a cathedral.  One of my favorites is the Carly Simon, “Live at Grand Central”.  The ambience is amazing.  I close my eyes a... 
Aries-Cerat Helene Review
willgolf, outstanding.  Looking forward to hearing more about you new system as it burns in.  Also, pictures.  Want to see pictures.  
Aries-Cerat Helene Review
Hi jc51373,  well that stinks.  I'm sorry the Hele'ne was not to your liking.  I'm guessing you are able to return it.  My dealer gave me a 30 trial period.  Definitely will be a bugger getting that beast back into the crate.  Remember to lift wit... 
Ethernet cables
I can be specific on what exactly the silver plated wire ethernet cables did for my system with my previous NUC based music server.  The clarity of the music improved.  The highs smoothed out- less of that glare.  The first time I plugged in one o...

I didn’t say that about IEEE and you know it.  I said a square wave is analog.  Agree or disagree and explain why. You are free to buy cheap cables.  They will make sound.  Why are you on this forum is all you want is sound?  This forum is for th...

This is a summary of about 3 years of study on the subject and experimentation on my part to confirm or dispel others’ claims. I can’t cite a single source that would explain it all. Much of the information is scattered about. I’ve not had technic...
