    Stereophile and Audio Cables

    Show-off! :) Most people would not let such a review stand unchallenged - I don't mistake their compulsion to react negatively to phrases like below "Before I seriously engage with any cable product, I need to know that it is thin, compliant, and gentle on my components' rear panels. If it...

    Stereophile and Audio Cables

    The only way to "escape" is if posters exercise restrain from either bringing it up in the first place or commenting on the original post. "ABCDEFG said pink cables from the perfect mix of strangeum, unobtainium and expensium will even turn an AM radio to full HiFi quadrophonic system (as...

    Inside Yamaha amps

    Anytime there is a "progressively worsening" power ON problem with a unit that uses a stand-by supply voltage the first suspect is the one capacitor responsible for waiting long enough to sense someone pushed the power On button. I've had the symptom on a Carver receiver (it would either turn...

    Serious Question: How can DAC's have a SOUND SIGNATURE if they measure as transparent? Are that many confused?

    New ASR logo proposal

    Yuck after 20189 messages, 36303 likes Brilliant, after 1966 messages and 2564 likes. I think we are done. Now we can move on to other important issues, for example, do reviewers with a mutsache appear more credible in videos?

    Decoupling/bypass & signal path capacitors for op-amps (NE5532 in Aiyima A07 vs. TPA3255evm)

    Decoupling/bypass & signal path capacitors for op-amps (NE5532 in Aiyima A07 vs. TPA3255evm)
