Thank goodness for clearing that up - I thought we were embarking for Planet Mad!
Seriously, if you are going to worry about the LED, you'd really want to disconnect the VFD which is after most of the regulation//filtering...and then you've got no UI - so you use a computer or a phone or a wi-fi gizmo...and that's putting lots of RF into the air. Try putting an AM radio near any of those...all that noise will get picked up by your mains cables and interconnects (screening obviously REDUCES the impact). While we are at it, no point in using fancy mains cables etc and then taking the supply through a nasty little piece of fuse wire (chortle). Also, surely that DC connecter should be rhodium plated?. It may have escaped some peoples attention that many of the impacts and behaviours of cables are only relavent to AC transmission - steady-state DC is a different ballgame. RF doesn't intermodulate DC to produce a complex Fourier result (like it does AC) so is easily filtered out. Going back to real-world for a moment, try this: 1) turn your amp to FULL volume and play back a long WAV file of "silence" through the SB while listening to the tweeter/HF unit up close 2) try pausing/unpausing 3) what do you hear? 4) assuming you do hear a difference, it will be noise/noise products generated in the SB analogue stages+interconnects - or in your external dc (if any). 5) Remember your amp is on full 6) return to your normal listening position and volume and repeat 6) now ask yourself "am I ever going to hear this "nise" in normal circumstances?" I'd be interested in the outcome of this. -- Phil Leigh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23227 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
