| Oscilloscopes - what specs to look for? I was considering an oscilloscope several years ago and during my research came across this guy. First video is his feelings about the cheap PC based USB oscilloscope devices:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh9FNRpta9s Here's his review on a simi... | |
| Favorite Linear power supply @mkgus - the Teradak and Zerozone linear power supplies that have two outputs are actually two separate power supplies. I have seen some that share a single transformer, but have two independent power supply boards. I have also seen some Zerozon... | |
| Measure power output without oscilloscope sorry guys, I was joking. I remember reading that there was one amp company that demoed their amplifier being used as a power supply for an arc welder. | |
| Favorite Linear power supply The Teradak and Zerozone linear power supplies on ebay (from China) are actually very excellent for the money. There are several that have two outputs. You can even get two different outputs (like a 5V plus a 12V output). However, the dual outp... | |
| Pure solid silver wire agreed, silver is not a good option for anything, in my opinion. That being said, if you are looking for internal wiring (inside the power strip) to connect the actual outlets, Tempo Electric sells solid-core silver wire even at 12awg and 10awg s... | |
| New high end processor The Marantz 8805 is a really excellent processor for the cost. Very full and powerful sound. However, it does have a slight rolloff on the high frequencies (just very slightly warm). If you combine this with the slightly warmer sounding Parsoun... | |
| Measure power output without oscilloscope touch the speaker wires to your tongue and measure how high you jump! | |
| Does this happen often? This is coming from a completely different direction and you really have to be a fan to appreciate it, but there's a certain magic to this one:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVcl0Iw3fs8 The performance is from one of their first shows of this ear... | |
| DIY power cable questions well, the neutral wire is basically the same thing as ground. At your main junction box or circuit breaker box, neutral is wired into the ground anyways (wired to a rod stuck into the earth). The neutral wire is almost like a "drain" for the hot... | |
| Animated Movies Most of the posts here list the common Pixar animated movies, which are excellent. However, I only saw one posting for "Final Fantasy". The actual movie name is "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within". For an animated movie done back in 2001, it is in... | |
| DIY power cable questions sorry, but I totally disagree with millercarbon. If you know what you're doing, a DIY cable can match or beat other manufactured power cables equal or even more expensive.That being said, nobody really answered indyvw's question. I see williewon... | |
| Any audible difference between cheap and expensive BNC cables? Digital cables terminated with BNC actually perform better than cables terminated with RCA. If you have an RCA input for digital coax, you're better off getting a BNC cable and using BNC-to-RCA adapters. The Black Cat BNC-to-RCA are the highest ... | |
| Upgrading to Duo 300 XD Stereo Amplifier and Illusion Preamplifier from Krell Evo I think the new Krell preamps are similar in sound to the older Phantom generation. However, the new Duo and XD lines are much different sound than the Evolution generation. The Evolution generation amps were very high resolution and very transp... | |
| Centre speaker position. This question was asked in an acoustic lecture once. The answer was that center should be on the same horizontal plane as the left/right. In other words, the center midrange/tweeter should be the same height as the left/right speakers. This pro... | |
| Mixing 4ohm and 8ohm I was working with an upper end Yamaha that was paired with 4 ohm speakers. The Yamaha doesn't have a "4 ohm" setting, but it does have both 8 ohm and 6 ohm settings. The speakers just did not sound good on the 8 ohm setting and sounded much bet... |
