Re: Kegworth HiFi show

I can't imagine anyone invests the amount of time and effort required to put on a show like that without expecting a return in some form, be it favour or fiscal. The world's just not full of Samaritans like that. If it keeps going then all power to him. Though I'd prefer to see an enthusiast only sh...

But he learnt that from me, it never even understood the polarity on a 12V car battery before he met me. It was my brains he hacked to line is and his mates pockets.
I'm not surprised that he's a genuine know nothing, those who can do, those who can't steal.

Re: (in)FAMOUS SLURPS

The big TQ guy might be unappealing, but he's essentially correct. In digital-audio signals are encoded electrically as one of two voltage states, high or low. Neither of them is 0v so essentially it is just another analogue signal, it just happens to contain digital data that can be extracted when ...

1.7m not any other length will do.

Re: Stepped attenuators

If you want purely linear resistors then any decent metal film will do the trick. Anything else will add some sort of flavour. I've used Shinkohs in a stepped pot before and they sound great, not without their own sound but very minimally so. How many steps depends on how you listen and how fine you...
