Yes, that would be an interesting test - one would need to ensure that the original & playback system had low enough LF noise that it wasn't masking the injected LF noise. This, I believe would be the difficulty - measuring LF noise in a system (I believe it only shows with dynamic signals). If...

I suspect that this is where we should be looking for the explanations of the age old issue of why we perceive improvements but yet can't measure them. I'm pretty sure that reduction in VLF noise (Very Low Frequency) leads to major perceptual improvements in what we hear - things that I've experien...

Don't want to be responsible for implanting any bad ideas Terry. ;) Too late €100 return with Aer Lingus, Brick in hand luggage and nice stuffa bag for return flight. Darn it!

@Terry, the shop owner shouldn't tempt fate by placing that AN 300B amp so close to the window...

It causes booting issues when powered up and connected so some junk getting back through the ground I guess. The other mono block does not have this issue so hopefully Peter can find the source of the noise and replace whatever component is at fault. If it is one of the transformers going south the...
