| Is it safe to use a higher amperage rating fuse? As far as the OP issue is concerned, I am wondering if he is using a FAST BLO fuse in a device that really needs a SLO BLO fuse. A FAST BLO fuse can blow really fast on devices that have a big inrush of current from the transformer (i.e. a device... | |
| Is it safe to use a higher amperage rating fuse? Fuses (and circuit breakers) are rated such that they blow or trip before any part of the circuit gets to a dangerous current. You rate the fuse or breaker based on the lowest current rating of all the devices and wires in the circuit . In yo... | |
| Is it safe to use a higher amperage rating fuse? Me being one of the few actually has common sense, when mine blew I didn't go up one baby step I doubled the damn thing. Why not? There are guys soldering wires straight across simply because it sounds better. I highly recommend that you DO N... | |
| what happens to PCM when it is processed by DTS or Dolby? Sounds like either a configuration in your audio settings for Netflix on Apple TV or it is a limitation of the app. | |
| what happens to PCM when it is processed by DTS or Dolby? Decoded is not the right work. "PCM" does not decode to a surround format. It's more like "translated". It's artificially creating a surround type music experience from 2-channel audio. It's like "PCM" is like a picture of a two trees in front... | |
| what happens to PCM when it is processed by DTS or Dolby? PCM cannot be processed by DTS or Dolby Digital. Both DTS and Dolby Digital are proprietary multi-channel encoding formats. They are like a different language.PCM is also NOT a compressed series of ones and zeroes. It is uncompressed raw 2-chan... | |
| DIY Speakers I don't think the OP really "hammered" on Parts Express. I think he's just looking for the higher end of DIY speaker parts. I have purchased several things from Parts Express and they are an excellent company. Their "Dayton" series of drivers a... | |
| Suggestions for medium priced Power amp and Pre-Amp Combo's The Odyssey Audio amps are actually not warm at all. They are very high resolution and fast responding. The Odyssey Khartago base model at $995 would likely be a very excellent option (just keep in mind that it's a manual turn on and does not ha... | |
| Suggestions for medium priced Power amp and Pre-Amp Combo's You’re likely better off looking for a nice used integrated amp. I don’t think you will get as good with separate preamp/power scenarios. If you can stretch youre budget to $2398, I would recommend the Kinki Studio EX-M1. It’s quite powerful at 21... | |
| DIY Speakers Madisound for woofers, midrange, tweeters and crossover parts.You can also look at Sonic Craft, VH Audio and Parts Connexion (partsconnexion.com) for additional crossover part options which Madisound does not carry. | |
| Projector comparisons It really depends on what you're trying to do. I don't think anyone on this forum knows enough about this particular subject to recommend. You also have features such as HDMI 2.0 and Dolby Vision / HDR that your particular laptop may not support... | |
| What is the best receiver to use with the A90J? Budget up to $2k So there's this huge argument that says "2-channel audio is the way to go". If you look at spending $2,000 and have a choice between a 2-channel integrated amp and an AV Receiver, it is very likely that the 2-channel integrated amp is going to so... | |
| Pontus vs Gustard? The challenge with these types of DACs is that the output stage may not be beefy enough or have the ability to push enough current to drive the input impedance of amplifiers. That is where a separate preamp can come it. Obviously, this doesn't a... | |
| What is the best receiver to use with the A90J? Budget up to $2k So in other words he agrees, I am right- he just wants to have it both ways, talking out both sides of his mouth: it is a step above, but "not to say the step below is bad". What a freaking joke! Wow, this is the first time millercarbon has go... | |
| What is the best receiver to use with the A90J? Budget up to $2k millercarbon posts the same exact message on every single home theater thread, so you can pretty much ignore because he is on a crusade to kill anything "multi-channel". That being said, stand-alone 2-channel gear is mostly going to be a step abo... |
