Audio track (abbreviated)

From professional literature, the Internet, often knowledgeable hobbyists and music lovers of good sound, we learn that each element of our system is the so-called. audio track. A signal passes through each element of the system, which in the final stage extracts the sound from the loudspeakers. It is worth adding here not to omit any of the track elements, because any mistake in the track can have a fatal impact on the entire system. Let's remember the main rule - the shorter the audio track, the less modified the signal at the output, and thus the more faithful the timbre of the sound. Let's try to build a set with the smallest number of devices in the system (fewer devices, but better quality) will give a better effect than adding to the system, for example, an equalizer or an additional sound processor. Let us also remember that the computer (more and more often used) as a sound source replacing, for example, a CD player or turntable is an additional device in the sound path. The second thing is the analog and digital signal. Analog reproduces a simple signal not processed by processors. The most perfect analog signal so far is reproduced by the turntable and analog recording on vinyl. Eliminating the modifier (enhancement) processors in the tube amplifiers connected to the turntable gives the most accurate timbre so sought after and appreciated by Audiophiles (the path is short and analog, largely devoid of electronics such as capacitors, opamps, bass and treble potentiometers and balance. Each of these elements lengthens and distorts the signal, which adversely affects the sound quality. Many novice listeners usually skip the purchase of good speaker cables, and interconnect cables, which is reflected in the speed and purity of the sound and micro details and dynamics. We have invested in the purchase of expensive equipment, so let's not regret that the connection is poor, because the result will be like converting a Ferrari to gas, no need to explain. As I know computers quite well (I worked for over 5 years as a computer service technician) I want to give an insight into the audio track from the point of view of IT and cooling, e.g. computer case. Namely, the matter is that the cooling fans (blowing and blowing) are installed in the right configuration to create a free flow of air. It is not enough to add a few fans to the case to improve the cooling of computer components, you need to ensure that, i.e. in the audio path, these fans are of good quality and there are as few of them as possible. This will translate into silence, and when placed in the right configuration, they will not dissipate heat any worse than crammed poor quality fans everywhere.
