| Any one measured the EMI/RFI attenuation performance of audiophile power conditioners? 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... | |
| Any one measured the EMI/RFI attenuation performance of audiophile power conditioners? 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... | |
| Any one measured the EMI/RFI attenuation performance of audiophile power conditioners? 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... | |
| Ethernet cables 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... | |
| Ethernet cables 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... | |
| Ethernet cables They are transmitting digital data not analog signals- False If you tap into your ethernet cable do you see 0's and 1's? You do not. You see a square wave ranging from 5-80 MHz. A square wave is.....wait for it.... ANALOG. It is a wave. It i... | |
| power cord for pass 250.8 I use the Purist Audio Design Corvus power cords and speaker cables with my Pass X260.8’s. Yeah, I had to buy two power cords. The noise floor dropped noticeably with these cables. Sound is excellent. The two amps plug directly into an outle... | |
| TAS. The Absolute Sound? I recall in the mid 80s two articles in an issue of Stereophile. One article raved about a Radio Shack 1 bit portable CD Player how good it sounded when connected to a stereo system via a mini-plug to RCA adapter. The other article discussed the... | |
| Ethernet cables The tendency is to compare digital signal transmission to a telegraph. After all, the dot-dash DC circuit of the telegraph is similar to the 0-1 of digital. And like the DC circuit of a telegraph the voltage of a digital signal is either 0 or 5 ... |
