Personally, I don't even have a clue what pieces/clusters/chunks are transported in one go over the Sata, Firewire, Ehternet connections, not to speak of how a PCIe bus or HDD/SSD or memory is organised. Thus, my basic understanding (?) is that 'digital is lossless', and the purely subjective judgem...

Flojo, nice to see. From testings of a number of boards, I congratulate to the purchase of the microATX. In my setups, this format (E35, E45) works better than the small miniITXs (E45, E2K). Both the E35 and E45 mATX gave an immediate feeling of sounding right, while the mITXs lacked energy and timi...

A couple of fans have been tested, all of 0.1 A power rating: - Asus mini (coming with the E35 Pro) - Fractal R2 80 mm - BeQuiet Shadow Wings 80 mm Run on a E35 board as CPU fan. In my setup, the Asus sounded well structured, but overly bright and harsh. The Fractal made a complete mess of the music...

I know that some will regard the contents of your post as madness, No doubt, possibly include myself.... It's similarly 'ridiculous' as changing Sata cables, directions, etc. etc. If I had the time, I'd look closely at the analogue waveforms of the digital stream and which, if any, signatures can b...

Here comes a short summary of experiences with the digital world gained in the meantime. The main conclusion is that it is very difficult to compare things: Software, hardware, music. This is due to the fact, that we recognized musical differences depending on the way of downloading (single file vs....

raises two questions: 1. Is it the same glue used on the K9 stylus as on your MC? Most likely not. It would be nice to be more informed, but while manufacturers happily invent new stylus shape names, they do not tell us about the glue. To know what is used and check with the glue specs would be muc...

Repeatedly I compared new needledrops after an LP12 upgrade to previous recordings of the same LP only to find that the older version sounds better. This is always disappointing, but tells that something must have gone wrong. Up to date this effect was always caused by stylus dirt. Sometimes visible...

Can some informed member drop a note whether Linn Knekt Bananas are still available? I can't see them in the price list...... I'm presently in need of a new speaker calbe 1 m longer than it was before, and wonder also what kind of solder one should use today - with the lead containing solders being ...

Thanks Thomas, this looks really fine. I'm impressed by the method to store the (for our application) excessively long PSU cables. Two comments: It seems as if you use Deltaco Sata cables, 30 cm. Is that correct? And with respect to the PSU: Isn't this mounted the wrong way up when the mITX is upsid...

Thanks for your report, Thomas. First I agree there's nothing like playing records! I had hoped for a long time that the hires reissues of the famous 60s and 70s Jazz recordings would make this music available conveniently, but all I heard sounds inferiour to my records. Maybe the remix/restauration...

Meanwhile I proceeded to a splendid SATA cable: Foxconn 1137 G10333-001. It has a red outer sleeve. It is directional. Two individuals of this species sound best with text from MoBo to SSD. Yes, it is the cable supplied with the I320. I checked it again after a long while using the Deltaco species, ...

Thanks so far! I really do want to replace it. Linn confirmed (helpline) that they do not supply anything directly to an end consumer, be it big or small, warranty or later repair - as to be expected. So I contacted the nearest shop, only to hear that as this equipment is not purchased there, they c...

Some news about ram, torque and bios settings. Few days ago I took a new ram to try: Kingston KHX16C9X3K2/8X There are two modules of 4 GB each, the specs are similar to KHX1600C9D3B1K2/8GX tried by Linnofil. Do they have a similar run in time? As two individuals of the same species seem to have di...

What I mean is that alot of the experienses gained is and will be comtinuously lost due to the continueing obsolesens issues with computer stuff. I completely agree, except that no experience is made. The bad thing is that it is all just about trial and error, and no knowledge is accumulating at al...

How to get Akurate power switch
A stupid kind of a problem, but I really wonder what to do: A power switch of one of my Akurate power amps went defective (A2200, switch is Arcolectric 8500 series). As I needed music from this particular amp, I simply took a switch from another Akurate amp from another room and installed it in exch...

8 GB Kingston RAM (HyperX KHX16C10B1B/8) to be the best one (as I assume from the fact you are using it)? No. I had only 4 types, and the G.Skill from the E45 OVL and the KHX mentioned above sound the same here in my E45. I skipped the A-data and some older tiny other Kingston. Are you using a E45 ...

Sorry to state that I can't comment on the sonic effect of SSD mounting. There is still too much change all the time to identify this in the moment. Indeed, I still do not feel to walk on solid ground with the PC. Just recapitulate: Mechanics playing an important role; memory seemingly differing bet...
