Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Power supply (technical)
gian;188349 Wrote: Hello, I know very little about electricity, so please forgive my silly questions. I have read that upgrading the power supply benefits the SB's sound. Now, just for curiosity sake, how can Volts have a sound? They're not silly, but you've combined two questions into one that's harder to answer. Volts may not have a sound, but you want mostly DC volts with little ripple and good regulation. Pure DC to the Squeezebox won't be the end of the road however, because there are separate supplies and regulators inside that have their own specs, likely to have more of an effect on the overall sound than the external supply. Would the original power supply sound better if hooked on a computer ups battery? You could try it. Mine is hooked to one now, but I didn't have trouble with interference before/after. I'll probably just put a surge protector like before. Also, aside from the fact that the SB's volume control is not recommended for audiophile listening, Isn't it? The transporter has three internal jumpers to set the output level, which could be thought of as having an analog volume control with three settings, e.g. 9,12,and 3 O'clock. Once the gains are somewhat matched it can then be more safely used as an audiophile volume control (without going too low on the scale). Using resistors as voltage dividers or jumpers in Transporter is less convenient that stepped attenuators, but unless I'm mistaken proves that the digital volume control is intended for audiophile use. I personally wouldn't feel comfortable not being able to use 100 on the Sb for critical listening, if for example that was 'loud loud' with my fixed attenuator setup and I needed to be a quiet audiophile. There is a very well done wiki here on connecting to a power amp which covers any safety issues, but you'll have to search. -- Skunk Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33669 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

They were recorded using good quality gear and good engineering/mastering processes. As a general principle, I agree. But Black Sabbath's first album was recorded for just 600 quid, so the chances they were using a first class studio seems unlikely. (Mind you, it does sound good - probably because they did it so quick and avoided faffing about with loads of overdubs). And of course, if HiFi News were using the CD remaster of this album as their source, then that has been quite heavily compressed.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter review at Audioholics
Mind you, I tend to think that there should be perveivable differences between the two. But I've been reading the Audio Critic lately. For example, they claim in issue no.24 that all CD players sound the same: As long as they meet the fairly exacting specifications expected these days - and most of them do - they will sound the same, regardless of price. That does not mean, of course that some are not far superior in measured performance (well below the treshold of audibility) and construction quality. I'm not sure if that's true or not. I admit, I'm somewhat sceptical. But if their claim is backed by facts, and if the blind tests were methodologically sound, then the case is closed: all CD players do sound the same. At this point, I can't help but ask myself: Does the Transporter sound really different than the Squeezebox? -- Nostromo Nostromo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6322 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33368 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
