The inside of that KC Vibe is so tidy. Also, 48V wall warts are used in powering some larger Cisco routers so they should be super reliable. Will there be/Is there a review of the KC Vibe on your site?
Sorry Michael but not related to this video, but it seems your video 'Giles Martin Talks About His New Sgt. Pepper's Lonely...' etc. has been blocked in Australia and possibly other counties. Is it possible to re-upload with the usual 'RU-vid editing' to avoid copyright issues. I would have been fascinated to watch Giles comments...!
Mr Sutherland seems like a real nice guy. I have a budget of around $1000 to $1200 for a phono pre. Using a Clearaudio virtuoso v2,cartridge. Nice cart but it lacks a decent pre amp to run it thru. I currently have an inexpensive Cambridge pre but it doesn't have the oomph I'm looking for. Thanks for the video.
five figure price tag and unbalanced outputs? 20 decibel lower than what? A moderate but still good audio op amp is 100 per cent adequate for the job. 20 MHz bandwith (I guess, the open loop bandwith) is just ridiculous. Sounds impressive but totally pointless. A lot of magic mumbo jumbo talk doesn't make any sense if you know something about electronics and specially about audio electronics... and still: numbers matters mister Analog Planet.
Of course! I'm blessed! I can build (and I actually make for the last 20 years) the best audio gears you can imagine. I can see thru the mumbo talking by all those golden audio gurus. They're absolutely skilled people and they know how to talk and how to charge insane amount of money for gears you can build for a fraction of a fraction of the money. I understand all the gears all for super rich and rather stupid people.
Wowa... cwejman: ( if it's you), it is obvious all these fancy gurus don't know you. But they are used to loads the mouths of people... don't loose your time. Hi-end is just a religion. Nothing to do with reality and electronic.... neither Electroacoustic ( don't even mention that, they'll kill you)..
Analog Planet I've actually done running it of circuitry and board manufacturing for multiple different types of companies in four different infrastructures such as for motherboards some audio equipment for security systems. so I know how to make a motherboard and what's entailed and parts and pricing. pretty much everything that's involved with this is pretty cheap per part labor-intensive yes but even still it's overpriced especially just to improve the Sound Stage.
I Alway must lough hard when i hear or see People talking about "physical lenghts" of Signals on a Board... lol. The Signals go through with Speed of light ;-) (which is about 300.000km per Second, so that one or ten centimeters don`t count at All ) - so, if the Soundsignals would be Visible too, you couldn`t even see the difference. And if you can`t see it, you never can hear it at All. And you All know why ? That`s easy: Because the Ears are mounted Further back than the Eyes lol......
I am a physics engineer. That`s enough to this Theme lol. High End is OK. But when Vodoo rushes in, it`s ridicoulous sometimes... ;-) Bytheway - the most impressive Thing in the Interview with Mr. Sutherland - who is a Specialist for shure - is the ugly (two or three) Hair(s) that stand out of his Neck backwards... This Hair distracted me so much, that i had Problems to listen to all what he was saying ;-) Bytheway - every good educated insurance salesman learns that such distracting Things are a NoGo in a sale talk. Mr Sutherland (The Gods of Audio bless may bless him ! ) could not see this, so this ist sincerely not his fault - but the camera - operater should have seen it. If i am the cam-operator i tell such things to my Victims before i film them. Only to People i dislike, i say nothing and let the Blame be on them... ;-)
Not at All. Now i ask you about your opinion why the trace length should be so important. Step after step ;-) Physics ist "the Sience of Error" as you know. "about Truth i can say nothing..."
You are always adding more resistance, capacitance and inductance when you increase trace lengths. It might not always matter at audio frequencies, but even a few added pf can throw off your phone equalization circuit when you are aiming for perfection. Also surely it makes a huge difference in high speed circuits. It's not just for fun when traces are meandered to equal length in parallel interfaces or when you have to carefully layout a differential pair. I have to press X to doubt your claim of being a physics engineer, your view is much to simplified to show any deep understanding of what is going on in electric circuits. You sound more like a 1st year failed student tbh.
