The flash LED in a phone is capable of one bright flash (a single pulse) but the flashlight app in the same phone must be quite a bit dimmer to avoid melting the LED chip.
If the LED is run at a given brightness, is should make no difference how it got there (PWM'ed DC or a lower voltage constant DC). In reality the PWM mode subjects the LED chip to much higher current in pulses, so the resistive losses may be higher. PWM is cheaper an reduces the losses in the power supply as compared to a linear voltage drop (resistor or pass transistor). That's why its cheaper and most often used.
Now you tell me......I wondered why my tubes wear out in a day or two🙂

Thanks for posting those. I listened thru several times and can't say that anything jumps out at me. A slight impression that the loop files are a bit warmer and have less ambience than the original, almost like a high bitrate MP3. But I would not place money on me picking them out in a blind test.
Hi Pano, thanks for taking a listen to the tracks.
This selection is not so indicative of the differences that are more evident in other music, particularly rock.
Also the soundcard itself is treated internally which serves to alter all the recordings and so the cable differences are somewhat diminished.
Rightmark reports essentially zero differences between cables, but on my big system the differences are clear, with ferrite displaying least difference between loopback recordings but still audible.
Pano, suggest a favourite track and I will run the loopbacks and post to dropbox.

Yes now Max has only had his recordings up for a couple of days and is already "explaining" why the tests might not show what he so confidently claimed they would. For me it is a case of "once bitten, twice shy" since I went to the trouble of listening to his last set of identical files.
I can 'untreat' the soundcard, I didn't do so for the most recent files posted.
Despite this I am able to reliably distinguish these files.
Nezblu, name a track or send me a link and I will do the loopback recordings with your choice of music.

That's the ground.....dig a hole, and line it with a suitable material, to keep it rectangular. I went for some cinder block, concrete and steel. Then you make a nice wood cover, say some pine with a hardwood veneer on the top side......now instead of attempting to connect said box to your system, put your system, and yourself INSIDE the ground box. I call mine a basement.
Thanks Dan, it will have to be later for me. I'm on the road for work at the moment.
I took a listen Dan but struggled to hear anything (Koss headphones). I will try later this week to have a listen on my main system and tell you what I can hear.
Thanks for trying, cool.
If you like I can tell you what to listen out for and then you ought to hear the distinguishing characteristics of each file reliably.

Some Dropbox files of yesterday's remastering effort, plenty to choose from, files will disappear in the next few days. MP3 Remastering

Yes, sorry, afraid you'll have to start over. Also SB, your particular hole should be not only rectangular but with a slight trapezoid in the vertical. This will correct your beaver's faint-but-measurable list to port. 😱)
Yeah, you're asking for a ground loop.
Sorry, but somebody had to stand in for Pano.
