I’m no expert on conspiracy theories but I have read one that believes such. See link. ...

My criteria for testing many theories is firstly to question the why and then the evidence. So the "why" on why the NASA moon landings might be fabricated would be perfectly reasonable as the US may...

I didn't know HiFi forums discussed things other than audio equipment. So I was surprised that it happens. I always look at the 'Blank Canvas', 'Digital Expressions' and 'The Artists Palette' area...

Wow, very surprised to find this here. I just popped into one of my favourite Hi-Fi forums only to find a 500+ thread on COVID conspiracy theories, anti-lockdown and anti-vaccination rhetoric.

Wow, your system sounds v.complex. So with both of our systems we are getting Qobuz to sound as good as CD. In my system the CD transport and DAC are in one unit, the Vitus SCD025. This same DAC...

I run a music streaming service, though not on the tech side, and From my knowledge the files that the streaming services receive from the record companies are streamed as the files as received and...

I recently went down a digital path for the first time. Interestingly I also have a Vitus/Boenicke combo. I found the following improved the sound:
- installing a cheap ebay-sourced Cisco switch...

Thanks for your advice. I'll try a new USB cable. Settings are set for HIFI playback (I subscribe to Tidal Hifi £20 a month tier).

I am hoping someone familiar with streaming from Tidal might be able to help.

I have recently installed the Pro-Ject Streambox S2 Ultra, which is a small box Raspberry Pi based network bridge. ...

Bristol was busy but good today. Highlights:

The new Acoustic Energy AE500 sounded so impressive and at £1000 is a bargain. One of the best speakers at the show, though a lot of speakers sound...

Yes the article is good. The CAD grounding boxes are extraordinary in the effect they have, and their DAC is one of the finest I have heard so the designer clearly knows what he is doing. The fact...

My daughter is an audiologist. Apparently bone conduction happens up to 50khz. And this can bypass the middle ear and hit the inner ear. So although you cannot hear frequencies above 20khz (limited...

I’m no electronic engineer but this from the CAD website gives a basic explanation. The man behind CAD is an electronic engineer (and CAD make one of the best sounding DACs I have ever heard so he...

The one that made the biggest difference was the CAD GC1 and GC3. CAD explain the science as follows:

CAD believes that one of the key reasons so many digital audio products “sound digital” is...

I have to say what a pleasure it is reading this thread. The previously mentioned taken down thread on the pf forum was horrible to come across. The thread was started with a post about how...

I don't see where he is referring to the effect of signal grounding boxes? It seems to be about reducing hum from a system. Though it is very technical so I can’t be entirely sure.

Thank you Ken. The European manufacturer recommends, for optimum sound quality, to have no fuse on the wall plug, as they do in Europe. However this worries me though I guess it shouldn’t as the Uk...

I am theOP. Thanks for your comments. It appears that it is safe for the UK from the look of the Grahams/Naim hydra which you have referred me to, and is effectively the same thing. The one I am...

Is there any UK electrical safety issue from the following:
a 2-way extension block from which the 2 component cables come hard-wired out directly to be plugged into the amp and CD player with a...

Yeah, fair point. We only did three or four trials per CD each.

3 or 4 CDs. It was some time ago now.

I have some of the Art du Son cleaner. It works. I have 2 copies of a number of CDs and tried before and after cleaning comparing treated and non-treated. Before they sounded identical, after one...

I missed the Marantz demo as I timed my arrival as the last one of the day ended. Yes a shame for Mr.Ishiwata, a legend of the industry giving a presentation to a poorly attended room. B&W and...

There were three highlights for me. The CAD, Wilson Benesch, Trilogy room was the most outstanding. The CAD (Computer Audio Design) Audio Transport feeding the CAD DAC through Trilogy amps (plus a...
