| Worth of current system Perhaps those with with mid six figure systems don’t want to attract the opprobrium that would be dumped on them for posting.@folkfreak Yes, I would expect that to be the case for many people having very high end systems, and in fact that possib... | |
| Worth of current system +1 @steakster Before I responded earlier in the thread I briefly thought about the appropriateness of the question. And I decided that it would be entirely legitimate for someone to try to gain a perspective on how much of a monetary investment th... | |
| Sub wiring help, high level speaker terminal to RCA line level Sub inputs Not sure I understand your question in the post just above. Regarding the first paragraph, a y-splitter would not be used to terminate the speaker cables. Regarding the second paragraph, the resistors would not be connected to the preamp.In any ev... | |
| Sub wiring help, high level speaker terminal to RCA line level Sub inputs One question is if the input to the Sub is only technically used as a signal, not carrying any loads, wouldn’t I simply be able to use a straight cable from my speaker terminals with RCA’s plugs on the other end into the Sub? This would provide th... | |
| Sub wiring help, high level speaker terminal to RCA line level Sub inputs P.S. to my previous post: A **possible** issue I see in looking at the converter Miller suggested is that its description mentions that it provides "D.C. Isolation for noise reduction." That may mean that it puts a capacitor in series with its inp... | |
| Sub wiring help, high level speaker terminal to RCA line level Sub inputs Millercarbon’s suggestion looks to me like an excellent one in this situation. The 30 watt specified power handling capability of the speaker-level to line-level converter he suggested seems reasonable in relation to the power capability of the OP... | |
| Splitter -- One preamp to two amps. What to use? @Captaindidactic, I wouldn’t be too concerned about the choice of y-adapter. Just get whatever strikes your fancy that appears to be of good quality and is not much longer than necessary.First, keep in mind that most cable parameters, and therefor... | |
| Worth of current system I’ve paid about $35K for what is presently in my system, spread over many years. Equivalent to somewhere between $40K and $45K in today's dollars if adjusted for inflation.Best regards,--Al | |
| Splitter -- One preamp to two amps. What to use? I was just about to post the following when I saw MrDecibel’s post above. Great minds think alike :-) In most cases a bridgeable amp will not sound as good in bridged mode as in stereo mode. A major reason for that is that in bridged mode the amp ... | |
| What is the best BNC Digital Cable under $4,000? Mzkmxcv 6-2-2019 If the data is reclocked, then the amount of jitter caused by the cable or the source is irrelevant as long as the clock doesn’t lose lock. This assumes that the reclocking circuitry performs in a theoretically ideal manner. Mean... | |
| What is the best BNC Digital Cable under $4,000? @mrc4u, a point to keep in mind is that depending on the design of your particular components the length of the cable may be just as important, and perhaps even more important, than the type. See the following paper for an explanation: https://pos... | |
| Paragraph line spacing test @admin Thanks for providing that info, Tammy. It occurs to me that it might be worthwhile for you to call the fix I described earlier to the attention of the developers. If a simple change like that can resolve the problem at the user end, perh... | |
| Paragraph line spacing test Erik -- See my post just above. It appears that a very simple (although very obscure) change to a setting in Firefox resolves the problem.Best,-- Al | |
| Paragraph line spacing test I think I may have found a solution.First, I found the following thread. It involves using Firefox on other forums, and the symptoms it describes are not the same as what we’ve been seeing here. But it adds credence to my observation that the prob... | |
| Paragraph line spacing test I’ve noticed this issue running Firefox on Windows 10 ever since the update of Firefox to version 60 about a year or so ago. The issue was discussed in one or two threads around that time.To get paragraph spacing to come out properly what I’ve had... |
