    Greetings from an ex-pat Germany! Thanks for this, it was good fun. Just for your information, if you take two of the chopping boards and four ball bearings placed between them, you‘ve got an almost professional level isolation platform. I‘ve been using them for a couple of years.

    That Klei harmonys are very good indeed , build two set of cables with them and duelund cabling , it compares really with anything at very high prices also

    In Portugal by CASA ,…a sort of ikea with less choice , I have managed to find a bamboo shelf thicker, deeper and larger than the ikea one , …which is handy for deeper , larger and heavier components , on the plus side , doesn’t even have any ridges , holes ,…nothing just a good heavy slab of bamboo

    A 75 Ohm digital interconnect must have a minimum lenght of 1 meter

    • @maudifi
      @maudifi  Місяць тому

      I've read also that it's 1.5m. It's a long time since I studied transmission line theory. This may be the case, but is it not more important that the line termination impedance is correct? In any case with RCA connectors is it not likely to be stuffed up anyway, causing potential reflections.

    I find spring type isolator feet provide the best form of isolation. You may want to remove a few springs first.

    ‘Just bits’ are susceptible to jitter. A digital wave is really an analog wave with encoded digital information.

      I'm just interested to see whether people can do what they claim they can do.
      Because it's easy to say you can do something yet never have to show it.
