| What direction should the cable go?????? I believe the pulling of wire thru a die does affect the sound of wire. The wire will sound different depending on which end is connected to the source. In the early days of directional RCA cables, the arrow was included so that the shield on the ... | |
| Has anyone used a full-system battery power supply? It would be possiable to put an amp on batteries. An 100 watt SS amp typically has a power supply of around 60 volts plus and minus. If you put 5 car batteries in series for the +60 and another 5 for the -60 power supply rails, the amp would play ... | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" Testing is a good idea but no pratical computer test equipment has a noise floor exceeding 96 db. Our hearing has a dynamic range of about 110+ db. That makes our ears many times more sensitive that any test equipment. Chris | |
| What's better? 1 amp of 250wpc OR 2 amps of 135wpc each one? The Maggies will not be trying to reproduce the bottom end if and only if you use a crossover to remove the bass from them and pass that range of frequencies to the subwoofer. Some of the powered subwoofers have a crossover built into them and you... | |
| Lambda - What is this feature on CD Players? what is the modle number of your CDP? | |
| What's better? 1 amp of 250wpc OR 2 amps of 135wpc each one? I feel the that bi-amp is usually a great way to improve on a system's sound. If you like the way the A300 sounds it seems that a natural way to go is to passive bi-amp. If you are sure you do not need the extra voltage headroom of the 250 wpc amp... | |
| Is 60 amp electrical service enough for high end tube system I am sure the service is enough for the stereo, but is it enough for the stove and dryer. A lot of electric stoves have 40 - 50 amp circuits and would be a major drain on your service. A good starting point to determine if the service is up to snu... | |
| Running a CD player directly into power amps, A rule of thumb is to have the input impedance 10 times the value of the output impedance of the driving equipment. If the input impedance of the amp is 10K ohms (most are at least that) then the output impedance could be as high as 1000 ohms.An a... | |
| Looking for Chinese drums CDs I believe that sheffield labs has a disc out. It was a top notch recording typical of their work. | |
| Better Quality CD's I have found the concord jazz lable to be exceptional. I pick up any that I happen to find. I believe that the group "The Three" is on that label. I would get all that I can find! Chris | |
| AMPS: PM2000 or Pass X5 or ? I have heard the X series and was blown away. My friend who had it said it was better than the Aleph. I take this guy's opinion seriously! If you like Pass stuff (and I do) stick with it in the HT setup also. If it plays music to your liking then ... | |
| Adding a headphone amp to a BAT preamp There are some high quality switchers around. I have seen one at a custom home installer. You might want to consider making a one-in-two-out splitter out of some old unused IC cables. Just cut the cable and make a "Y" connection. Chris | |
| Surge suppression AC filtration for the entire house Bob is 100% correct! My day job is in industrial electronics and control. I have designed equipment that monitors a water tower. They are one of the best lightning rods know to man. I have personally hade to repair a site that had a lightning hit ... | |
| How to wire a powerful amp with two speakers to avoid damage Most amplifiers supply voltage to the load (speakers) and the impedance of the speakers at the frequency being reproduced determines the amount of current flowing. A battery is also a supplier of voltage to a load. The bulb of a flashlight uses le... | |
| Is sound room on the attic bad??? If I understand corectly your attic has a concrete floor and the roof angles upward on both sides to a peak? Does that mean that it has no vertical sides or that the sides are short instead of the usual 8 feet?If the side walls are short and the c... |
