    Is digital audio intrinsically "broken"?

    Late to the party, the digital crowd may have been thankful. My sentiments are with the vinyl lovers. However, truth tells it, the CD is vastly superior! It's failing lies squarely on the shoulders of digital engineers. You see, I have proved the super microscopic and complex music signal's...

    Is digital audio intrinsically "broken"?

    CDs have a travel trove. One onlymust devise a system with stellar performing interpretation. Iis possible. 1 D1D IT.

    Quantum mechanics proved as always

    My system is not based on any engineers lower math. It is science based. Every component has been chosen for speed, short circuitry, and simplicity. No speaker is faster at instant dynamic impulse than the Apogee Scintilla over 20 hz to 20 khz. 47 LAB Transport is leagues better than any...

    As per DonH50 Why is thin better of audio cables in my ICE system?

    ALS is measured in how fast the disease weakens all muscle groups. Concerning the state of my system acuity there is no need of double blind testing.

    What do you guys think of these ribbon cables?

    In practice I have found thinner the better.

    Any experince with Audio Note DACs?

    Sorry, there is no cheap fix for great Audio Note sound, and, the fix has to with matching the DAC with the best transport. I have listened to a lot of transports. The only way to preserve the purity and dynamism of 2.1 t0 5.1 AN DACSs is to match them with audio philosophy sharing transports...

    New review of the H2O stereo amp and the H2O Fire preamp

    Frank, it does take a lot of work, but also scientific insight. I have spent 8 years with the same speakers, and amps. It was a long journey, but has ended at the peak of life-like music.

    What sampling / bit rate would equal vinyl?

    I will have to go back and read the whole thing again. From my reading the PS engineer was saying it took years to "decipher" the pits and lands into binary signals. Just look at the number of chips the transport runs the info through. That is why I shied away from the Perfectwave. I spent the...

    What sampling / bit rate would equal vinyl?

    What's more, there is no audible distortion of any kind on my straight from the cd recording through an NOS DAC. It's all there, engineers should be looking to ways to mine all the information on the disc as 47 Lab did.

    What sampling / bit rate would equal vinyl?

    PS Audio are the ones who discovered the variable pit, and land. They had to convert that, the best they could to a 1' and 0's. As far as 6moons goes, I think it is the best review site. They sure got my amp and preamp right on the money.

    What sampling / bit rate would equal vinyl?

    Here is a look at a CD: http://www.denniskunkel.com/DK/Miscellaneous/97108C.html I am sure it is coded, but not in the usual computer model. A quote from 6moons: "While reading a CD, a raging stream of pits of variable lengths whirs past the laser reader whose response currents in the light...

    What sampling / bit rate would equal vinyl?

    I found an electron microscopic image of a CD and it contains various lengths of pits in line with various, "Land lengths." There seems to be no easily seen repetitions. They form infinitely variables. These pits and land lengths are far cleaner, and denser that that of a cut LP. Digital - not...

    What sampling / bit rate would equal vinyl?

    Did anyone mention the 6moons review of the PS Perfect Wave transport and DAC? PS engineers found that the surface of the CD is not neatly in 1's and 0's, instead it resembles the flow similar to what is on vinyl. They spent years trying to reinterpret the CD into neat digital. Yes, according to...

    New review of the H2O stereo amp and the H2O Fire preamp

    Frank, What I really meant, are the components are at fault as well as wires. Yes, and it is a delightful term, "Out of a hat." That would apply to my speaker cables. It is hard to get folks to try them. Then it might be just the perfect combo for the class D amp. Component's downfall are the...

    New review of the H2O stereo amp and the H2O Fire preamp

    It's all in the money. There are millions of pixels loaded into the pro quorums signifying nothing to the building my system. I made my SCs, proved the superiority of non-oversampling DACs, demonstrated circuits and wires must follow simplicity. Cheap Anti-Cable seems perfectly capable to...

    Are low-priced cables a scam?

    Only poor health keeps me from marketing my, "Cheap cable." Then again, with the trouble making them (no help from bulk wire company) l would want $200, per pair at least. Mark up would make the $400. Maybe they are not so cheap. The thing is they are the best I have heard anywhere in any...

    New review of the H2O stereo amp and the H2O Fire preamp

    The reviewer stated, "The upper mids and highs were sweet but a little drier than the lower end of the spectrum, transforming to a very refined transistor rather than tube signature. This was easily within the adjustment range of cable combinations and could be swung between mildly dry to...

    New review of the H2O stereo amp and the H2O Fire preamp

    Please read this review of the H2O amp and preamp at 6 mooons. My set up is more advanced, but the reviewer's system is darn good enough to bring out a lot of the strengths of H2O.:D:D Below is a teaser of what to expect. "The result was a presentation where detail and dynamics didn’t stand...

    Epiphany, have you had one in audio?

    1 H2O monos powering Apogee Scintillas make it possible. 2 H2O Fire preamp helped tremendously. NOS DAC the heart of the system. 3 My weird cables were my first epiphany. 4 The 47 lab Flatfish Transport was my second epiphany leaving the sound an epiphany in itself.

    As per DonH50 Why is thin better of audio cables in my ICE system?

    Let's look at Speltz's ICs. I don't know the gauges of the positive and negative. I do know this. The red curly wire is the positive, and the, "No see-em," wire in the middle is the negative. I bet if you were two switch the two wires, the sound would suffer as well. I can also say this...

    As per DonH50 Why is thin better of audio cables in my ICE system?

    Frank, I did so. The speaker inputs are up some two feet from the floor. My amps are turned around. That leaves the travel for the cables straight up. They hang in the air, making all pretty.

    As per DonH50 Why is thin better of audio cables in my ICE system?

    Thank you for your friendly reply. I believe the general audience think my cables heresy, or just plain nutty inferring I don't know what music sounds like. I apologize for my not getting your name wrong. Given the amps I am using are H2O, I struggle with similar names. Ah baloney, I was too...

    As per DonH50 Why is thin better of audio cables in my ICE system?

    I made cradles to apply a very sticky Kapton tape, much thinner than the copper or aluminum. I keep the same width to insertion of the spade. Kapton is an amazing substance. My speaker terminals are elevated, so the ribbons gently curve upward from the amp terminals, turned around backwards.

    As per DonH50 Why is thin better of audio cables in my ICE system?

    At Don's private idea mill, he said most commercial cables handle skin effect very well. I confess, I don't know the real deal about how cable configuration handle skin effect. I only know that for darn sure, the cable cross section has a lot more to do with it's ultimate performance, than any...

    Skin Effect

    Don, sorry about not understanding the scope of this topic titled, "Skin Effect." I was always under the impression skin effect imparted sound differences, and seems to be of concern to many cable makers. I will go back and brainstorm your graph. My apologies to you and Amir, both true gentlemen.
