| Mogami 2549 (Standard) vs 2534 (Quad) etc Thanks! | |
| Mogami 2549 (Standard) vs 2534 (Quad) etc Question for resident technicians, have heard in several discussions that Wogami cables carry signal with a low capacitance floor. Is that a key thing to low noise? Is that connected to low resistance and /or less current loss over distance? My de... | |
| Mogami 2549 (Standard) vs 2534 (Quad) etc Use W3103 for my Wharfedale speakers and about to swap in W2549 interconnects gathered on-line from several assemblers who offered my various oddball specs…3 ft RCA to 1/4” jack, pairs of 2ft RCA, and a three spade REL cable. FWIW, I believe in ca... | |
| New speaker cables - now audio seems panned right and left Problem solved! Love happy endings. I’m about to swap in new medium priced Mogami interconnects and a beefed up REL sub cable and am making a mental post it to keep everything in phase and ground the REL three pole correctly :) | |
| Fantasy or reality? Inexpensive solid state preamps that get you 80% there? Great question. Quite possibly the answer is yes. In other forums, fans of throwback Wharfedale Lintons actively explore the same question. Fan favorites there include the full featured Cambridge AX81, Leak 230 and the interesting Vincent hybrids,... | |

| UPS. Friend Or Foe? FWIW my best HiFi shipper award goes to Upscale Audio :) | |
| UPS. Friend Or Foe? For all the bad buzz about “the Amazon effect” on the economy, they are genius in effective delivery customer support. My take is that they’ve done the math that prompt shipping claims resolution, no questions asked is best for their bottom line. ... | |
| Loud Snap at High Volume As an beginner at the actual mechanics behind amplification "snapping" would scare me that it would be voltage discharge from amp capacitors or something else in the output stage, rather than something inside the speaker. I may be missing somethin... | |
| Warm and accurate bookshelves that can handle volume Lintons, LOL Love mine. You had me a warm and accurate. | |
| Vintage amplifier specifications Agree with others. Solid state high current survivors just don’t struggle with speaker loads. My old Crown offers only one set of outputs but lists power specs for 16, 8 and 4 ohm loads. | |
| But is it HiFi? (Crown) Built three systems around serviced Crown PS-200 solid state analog workhorses. No fans, brilliant chassis, great specs (especially damping) and clever multi mode Class A/AB/AB+B output stages. Sinister rack mount look and lots of high current ove... | |
