Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Hum and Hiss
most decently-built solidstate amps usually has no hiss at listening volume. some better ones even when volume maxxed out exhibit no hiss. whatever the case hum should never be present at all in any volume. there are many causes of hum, from the imperfectly-filtered power supply unit leaking into the amplification stage (nothing much u can do about it, since it is inherent) another source of hum is the improper connections of the RCA, due to oxidation of the terminals or loose connections, creating ground loops. determine where the hum is coming from by disconnecting all the RCA inputs using shorting RCA plugs. if it is absent, there is a good chance that the problem does not lie with the amp. -- musicexpression musicexpression's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=28861 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62723 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

very often it's the psychological feel-good factor when u plug in a few-grand AC cable into your prized electronics, thinking you are providing the best for your toys, and your toys will appreciate it has been inserted with a 24k gold-plated plug. :) -- musicexpression musicexpression's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=28861 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62241 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] A/B SB3 vs Transporter
sidetrack a bit, but does anyone ever open up the TP and peek into its internals and see what sort of components used? silver wiring/solder, cerafine caps, precision resistors, etc? ;p -- musicexpression musicexpression's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=28861 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61686 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
