| Which Marantz SR ?? Are you looking at the older "5006" series receivers? Or do you actually mean the SR5010 series? Marantz is currently up to the SRx011 series now (i.e. SR5011, SR6011, SR7011).Generally speaking, all three of these models are pretty much the sam... | |
| 24 fps or off? Well, if you are thinking of modern display devices, they will usually up-scale the frame rate to their native display rate. Good display devices will have a native frame rate of 240 hz. This allows natural multiplication of both 24fps and 30/60fp... | |
| 24 fps or off? I would actually set it to "auto". This doesn’t force the output to always be 24fps. It allows the player to output 24fps signals when you play a blu ray that is authored in 24fps format. Other formats, such as 60hz frame rates, will not be change... | |
| Input ground loop hum only when p10 cables or XLR without phantom power are connected Just re-read through your configuration description. The inputs on the Scarlett 2i4 are balanced, but you might try switching the input switch to "INST" below the input. Otherwise, you might try building the Cable #14 (make sure the mono plug is c... | |
| Input ground loop hum only when p10 cables or XLR without phantom power are connected Actually, pro-audio equipment (such as the Scarlett) typically have floating ground on their internal circuits. This requires special cable wiring on certain conditions such as a TRS-to-RCA cable where you actually have to disconnect the ground/s... | |
| Is a Power Amp the Answer? If you are considering an amplifier, one thing to look for is amplifier gain. Amplifiers have a signal gain in the 26-32db range. The Emotiva XPA-1 gain is 29 db, which is decently in the middle. I know some of the Wyred 4 Sound amps have a gain a... | |
| Is a Power Amp the Answer? Just putting my thoughts in at the last minute. I know you were looking at Emotiva stuff. I’m actually a pretty good fan of Emotiva amps. I started with an XPA-1 and now am running all XPR-1 and XPA-1L (for surrounds). Emotiva is a different model... | |
| XLR to RCA interconnect. Does mixed connectors provide less noise compared RCA to RCA? Like another has said, the negative-polarity signal pin in an XLR-to-RCA cable is usually connected to ground/shield (if at all). There is no benefit to getting an XLR-to-RCA cable instead of just an RCA cable unless the XLR connector on the one ... | |
| In wall vs regular speakers? My opinion is that in-wall speakers are a way to address convenience/space/cosmetic issues. You will always get better results with a standard cabinet speaker. | |
| In wall vs regular speakers? Technically speaking, good points are that there won’t really be any tweeter refraction on the edges of a cabinet, since you are using the entire wall as a front panel. On the bad sad, there is little or no toe-in capability, which is critical to ... | |
| Hi-Fi Tunig Fuses & Parasound A21 relating to this quote:"Otherwise, do what actual music and sound professionals and amp designers do…ignore the nonsense of silly and fraudulently marketed psuedo tweaks."I would like to say that amp designers have a completely different set of re... | |
| Surprising Audio Quality Sirius XM audio is highly compressed, in the fact that they run all music through a pro-audio compressor/limiter mechanism (I’m sure this is to reduce the amount of data required, since it’s all based on mp3 type audio compression and they need to... | |
| Hi-Fi Tunig Fuses & Parasound A21 Actually, I perjured myself. On a unity or less gain, the input waveforms are, indeed, going around the op amp. However, they are getting sucked back into the output pin. The op amp is having to generate twice as much output voltage, since half of... | |
| Hi-Fi Tunig Fuses & Parasound A21 The idea that fuses and power supply components are not part of the signal chain is not entirely correct. Anything coming in from the A/C, power cables, fuses, rectifiers, regulators, or power supplies can all become part of the output signal. An ... |
