Post Subject: More testing - clarificationPosted by peter foster on: 11/9/2008

Dear Romy,

I am continuing with testing.

Conclusions at high amplifier volume: -

1) FM tuner variable OUTPUT-2 supplies less background noise than FM tuner variable OUTPUT-1.
2) Inserting hard disk recorder into the chain is blameless.
3) I have been swapping DACs in and out of the chain to compare results with good results.
4) When using my Lavry ADC directly connected to my Lavry DAC there definitely is additional background noise. This is unexpected and annoying. This background noise disappears as soon as I insert hard disk recorder into the chain. Very strange.

At high amplifier volumes, when you use your Lavry ADC directly connected to your Lavry DAC, are you hearing additional background noise when playing FM tuner ?

Regards, Peter Foster.
