Thanks!

Seems to work fine, in the unlikely event that anyone cares.

Yes. If it is good enough for 15 amps 120 V, it is good enough for speakers. I use 12 AWG, but only because that was what the botique vendor (Blue Jeans Cable) had. The thicker the wire, the harder it is to work with.

Can I use one of these to power on and off my DIY Class D Audio amplifier? It is assembled from a kit, and I don't have a remote switch. For several years I have used an eco power strip to trigger the amp when my DAC/pre comes on, but lately this has been causing problems (random loud...

The 3 million acre fires of 1910 were not the result of either climate change nor lack of forest "management." Things have, however, changed in the last 120 years with respect to both. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2020/09/climate-change-increases-risk-fires-western-us/ The...

Much of this region that burned was second-growth redwoods. If the old growth hadn't been harvested, it would have been far more fire-resistant. The fire suppression policy the right wing-nuts like to blame on the "environmentalist left" were actually put into place at the behest of the timber...

Coming up on 3 months since our local fire started with a lightning storm. It took out about 970 residences. Mine survived, but most of the rest of the houses in the region got incinerated. We spent about a month in an evacuation center, somehow dodged SARS-CoV-2. Haven't felt like listening...

I just downloaded the processor application v. 1.1.0 for the Mac here: https://live.dirac.com/download/ (Also has Windows.) I assume it prompts you for registration during install or startup. They used to offer a free trial; maybe still do. Sorry if I have missed something. I am just...

That's really odd. I got both together. Admittedly I haven't looked in a long time. Maybe something changed. I will take a look when I get a chance.

I ride with 38mm Compass (Rene Herse now) tires and they don't slow me down. I just built up a new bike with a Soma Saga touring frame that can accommodate 55mm tires. I was thinking of going for the 700C x 55 Antelope Hill endurance version.

I understand that something might measure well but for some reason, despite this, might not sound too good. If something measures quite poorly (I have not read the NAD review), is there any reason (say, euphonic distortion) why it might nevertheless sound good to a majority of people...

I have two of these: https://www.brickwall.com/collections/surge-protectors-home-theater-hdtv No MOVs.

If you haven't played around with the Adventure Cycling Association interactive route planner, you should: https://www.adventurecycling.org/routes-and-maps/adventure-cycling-route-network/interactive-network-map/ Also, you might want to consider going West to East.

They do, at least Mac and Windows versions. (Sorry if I misunderstood the context.) I am still on version 1.x. (There is a version 2.x that is either released now or in late beta. I am waiting for all the bugs to be worked out before upgrading.) With this, I can run it as an AU (or on...

I can't, and I was once awakened by the sound of a cockroach ovapositing her eggs on a paper bag.

I have an under-used 2010 mini I could send you if you would be willing.

Gosh, I wish there were more posters like you on ComputerAudiophool. I'm a bit surprised that a Mac Mini case wouldn't be an adequate Faraday cage. Presumably if contamination of the USB datastream was a thing, comparing to that delivered via optical could be revealing.

It is a Greg Palast term eg:

Title pretty much says it all. Briefly, I've been taken to task (elsewhere) for suggesting to someone that there is no need to "upgrade" the internal SMPS in a mac mini in order to produce high-quality sound. As a qualitative/subjective observation, I hear no difference between USB or optical...
