    Plunged back into vinyl, kind of ....

    So I started off an audioholic in the 1970s. Over the years I went digital and currently have an Aurender music server with 2600 albums. I also have an extensive collection of SACD and DSD64 - DSD256. I was always intrigued by the remastered 45 rpm boxed sets that MoFi puts out. I bought two...

    Turn table cable length

    The RCA on the TT seem to be integrated so if they are 1 meter, I am hoping this will be OK. If I place the TT on top of my stand, all the interconnects will reach. Every you mentioned makes sense, especially the GND. Thanks. Rob

    Turn table cable length

    I decided to jump back into vinyl for nostalgic reasons. I am just interested in the 45rpm boxed sets similar to what MoFi puts out. My turn table did not integrate into my setup so I had to place it 10 ft away. I had to use RCA couplers too. I did not hook up the GND to my preamp and I got...

    World's longest-serving audio DAC and ADC chips

    I suggested that becaise my PS Audio DAC is FPGA and I noticed several other companies going that direction. It looks like you have more flexability but your point is well taken

    World's longest-serving audio DAC and ADC chips

    FPGA is the way to go because you can program it with code

    New LG 4K TV, terrible 60Hz buzz

    My error, Amazon fire box connects to TV by HDMI. Local cable STB also connects to TV by HDMI. TV then connectes to McIntosh C48 by optical. Worked very well on my old Samsund 1024. TV bought and purchased so I was hoping for TS suggestens, not *what" I should have or should not have bought...

    New LG 4K TV, terrible 60Hz buzz

    The cord is permanently attached to the TV. I tried wrapping it around a 2" torroid ring but it did not make any difference

    New LG 4K TV, terrible 60Hz buzz

    I just installed a new LG 65" 4K TV. As soon as I turn it on, I get terrible hum out of my SVC-2000 Pro sub. It connects back to my preamp with a 15' coax cable. I have tried my Jensen isolation transformer but it does not seem to work. I have an HEL 5GHz transmitter/receiver that I though I...

    Dog help: any vetanerians in the house?

    Amir, my Golden Retriever is prone to ear infections from swimming in the lake. We put drops in his ears with tissues to help clean them out. Sometimes even an anti-biotic because retrievers have deep ear canals and are prone to this. I am on dog #2 and have 23 years experience with this...

    Blew out the woofers on my brand new speakers, need help to find the cause

    @antcollinet a little sideways on the topic. I have a McIntosh MC500 power amp that will push 500 watts to each channel at 8 ohms. It will also do 4, and 16 ohms. My Celection Diton 66 towers are only rated 160 watts at 8 ohms. I never drive them hard and I have all this overhead. Would...

    How many audio forums do you follow?

    I had to stop following forums where $1000 ac cables were to fiz line level issues for the 6' from your wall outlet to the amp. Direction ac fuses told me I was in the wrong croud as well. People that think they know what they are talking about don't realize a good quality amp gets converted...

    Objectivity in dealer demos

    How does pink noise help evaluate a speaker? This is not a loaded question. I have never heard of this before. I am about to recap some speakers, have REW and a good reference mic. Bring me into the fold and educate me! Thanks in advance.

    Industry Insiders And Their Nonsense

    That sounds so depressing. I hear what you say. An iPhone and an MP3 is what seems to make the new generation click. I am wondering if finances factor into it? When people like us grew up in the 1970's for example, we took an interest in hi-end audio and could pull off what we needed for...
