measurements

The absence of properly documented measurements from manufacturers was mentioned in the Yggy measurement thread. This is true for cable, most DACs and Amps. To me the main reason for this is that there is no competitive edge in showing those as they would all be the same or would be bad compared...

We'll start with the 12 khz Jtest in a 32k FFT. And what a graph it is. Yes, the horrid looking result is over coax connection. The peak jitter spikes are at – 65 dbFS. There are lots of them not much lower than that, and a wide area is raised by random jitter noise too. The spacing on the...

I've been interested in this amp for a while and now it's near ending. I don't know if it was due to my complaining about the fact that there were none, but they've posted a measurement on the website. I was wondering if anyone could take a look and tell me what you think. I'm not very...

In Another Place, someone asked for advice on whether to use a streaming DAC or a USB DAC to connect to a laptop to provide audio for a study/kitchen. Driven by lossy streaming sources. There was clearly the assumption that the analogue output from PC/laptops/tablets/phones is so bad that it is...

I'm interested in this. Loudspeakers probably add more distortion to the reproduced sound than everything else in the chain, but it's rarely talked about. I have a gut feeling that the infamous subjectivist claim that some systems "measure well but sound bad" may partly be about speakers that...
