I've noticed that "climaxes" don't seem to get as loud on the Transporter as they used to from other sources. Could it be that the TP's output is so clean that the lack of distortion means the sound is psychoacoustically quieter? (It's well known that distortion makes things sound louder).

Even short runs of unbalanced are still theoretically vulnerable to noise and hum pickup. My interconnects are about 5 metres (does that count as "long"?), and I've always felt there is something more "solid" about balanced operation. The problem is that it's difficult to level-match comparisons, so the heard improvement could easily be down to expectation than any actual difference. -- cliveb Performers -> dozens of mixers and effects -> clipped/hypercompressed mastering -> you think a few extra ps of jitter matters? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34811 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
