Can anyone identify these speakers?
carlsbad2 I have to agree. I don’ tthink most people understand WHY size makes a difference here, but I will try to explain. Just as a speaker needs to be loaded for optimal sound and that loading is dictated by the parameters’ like Vas, Fs, SPL, ... 
When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached?
mahgister Thank you. SO Many Wanna be engineers here and most of them couldn't draw a simple transistor amplifier if their lives depended on it. Not to mention telling the folks that they should do things that could end up getting them charged wih... 
Questions on Dedicated 20 amp home wiring
Carlsbad2 I would ONLY approach splitting a 220V or a 240V line by havening a licensed electrician do the work. In many cases it won't even be legal according to NEC. Much less safe. My first job out of highschool, was in an appliance shop where t... 
Build a Faraday cage around your equipment.
For all those who think that shielding is unnecessary. First get rid of all your high dollar pawer cables and interconnects than talk to me about it. After placing one single sheet of very nice cloth on the tabletop of my entertainment center, I h... 
Why do speakers improve with more powerful amps?
Possibly if I make a comparison to mechanical engineering. A simple street car capable of 150 HP putting out 100 HP is going to be under far more stress and pushing harder on every last component in it than a muscle car capable of 500HP putting ou... 
Why do speakers improve with more powerful amps?
@Phusis This shows how easily it is to ignore the Facts of the subject and keep on trying to reinforce the idea that clipping is the ONLY place that headroom affects. Clipping is only a minor concern is is the LEAST of the actual AUDIPOPHILE reas... 
Why do speakers improve with more powerful amps?
So some people here would like for you to believe that Signal to noise ratio, Load on the power supply, ‘Q’ of an amplifier and probably a dozen other Electronic FACTs about amps has nothing to do with how they perform. Yes we have plenty of peopl... 
DIY Cheap crossover parts effect on frequency response
Just becasue you have similar valued components and Even possibly Name brand components. Not all are created equal. Just some basics, Get ONLY capacitors and inductors that are made for speakers (not just musical type systems). Then If you look at... 
Build a Faraday cage around your equipment.
@fac Try looking up Radio Fog, Radio Smog, Radio Frequency Pollution. It is probably worse that any of us ever expected. Radioactive Pollution: Meaning, Causes, Effects, Preventive and Control Measures - ImportantIndia.com @bruce19 I got mine fo... 
Build a Faraday cage around your equipment.
Jea48 I am going to go totally against my own belief system, that manufacturing engineers are competent enough to do exactly what you describe in the venting. Just look a some of the places they have not adequately served the audiophile community... 
Build a Faraday cage around your equipment.
@jea48  Valid Points! but as stated I am personally looking at exactly what you mention, placing a sheet of the cloth on the shelf under the device so that items directly below, above or even to the side don't spread their interference to neighbo... 
Build a Faraday cage around your equipment.
First off, I will say it again, the use of the term 'Faraday Cage' is JUST and analogy. A TAG LINE! Get that and I think that most arguments here go away. I Am JUST talking about a VERY inexpensive piece of cloth, that doesn't take up any practica... 
Build a Faraday cage around your equipment.
Jerry, on that I will apologize. It looked as though you were using the word against me. I actually had a hard time finding any reference to that word and though it was a typo but then it actually showed online up as ’hatred’.   Some people don’... 
Build a Faraday cage around your equipment.
IN response to the comments so far. FIRST I don’ t expect it to protect from a nuclear event. If you don’ tthink there is any potential need for this why do most if not ALL of your cables have extensive shielding in them? Speaking of cables their ... 
Curious to know what you guys think/like about Pink Floyd's early work
  @coralkong THANK YOU. I was thinking along those same lines. I was  deeply influence by the DRUG culture in those days and actually liked the early sound, but when I got my act together I lost all interest and the political influencing found in...
