Popular Post idiot_savant Posted June 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2021 A quick skim through the paper would imply ( and I’m no analog guy ) that in one of the cables, the screen was not correctly connected, turning the cable into a radio antenna - the fact that a *passive* component is enormously more noisy than another one is telling here, and it hardly feeds into the “no-measurable differences” narrative. your friendly neighbourhood idiot botrytis and numlog 2 Link to comment
Popular Post idiot_savant Posted June 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2021 I don’t think he says which is which, though… Theres also a balanced/unbalanced issue, not really clear. For an interconnect to pick up 2mV noise, that’s -60dB for 2V if my sums are right Your friendly neighbourhood idiot botrytis and March Audio 2 Link to comment
idiot_savant Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 My apologies, I missed that on my skim through… However, as a “cable differences” test, he *appears* to be comparing different topologies of cables and circuitry ( balanced vs unbalanced ) of wildly different lengths, and he measures a large amount of noise on one cable and not the other. It’s late here, so I’ve not had a proper read, but the fact he measures and comments on the noise is interesting, your friendly neighbourhood idiot March Audio 1 Link to comment
