| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @mitch2 can you share what make and model magnetic breaker you are using? thanks. | |
| Movie/film suggestions. "The Accountant"....on steroids. | |
| What is the true impact of power supply differences - Japan, US, Australia? you’ve doubled the size of the wire twice unnecessarily. 240 volts has the advantage that current is halved so you need one size smaller wire to carry the same power. I have a 240V amp and I use the same size power cord on it just because I can. ... | |
| USB Cables: beginning the rabbit hole If you're streaming from your Mac, I'd upgrade the streamer before I upgraded the cable. My one rule for digital cables of any kind-silver or silver plating. don't confuse this with advice you've gotten about silver analog cables. Jerry | |
| Balanced vs RCA preamps I never use balanced unless I have to. you've already gotten the advice to always go balanced. | |
| Help getting back to enjoying music and movies in one system Here is what I do and I strongly recommend the same. it requires NO compromise for 2 channel sound and fully supports your HT. 1. Design and build your 2 channel system. the only thing you need to make sure you have is a second analog input. This... | |
| Has this ever happened to you? Yes, but it won't last long. | |
| Dumb question......why do you need a preamp? Preamps are becoming a bit of an anachrononism. I don't use one. You need volume control and you need the ability to switch between sources. Today most people have 1 or 2 sources: digital or vinyl or both. Almost all DACs have an analog outpu... | |
| The Power Plant Regenerator debate drags on Every neighborhood has crappy power. (I work for a very large utility). Why? because most appliances don't care. It really doesn't matter to most all appliances how crappy the power is. Most power is generated by rotating generators drive... | |
| Congratulations to Gillian Welch and David Rawlings! It's nice to see the Grammy's occasionally get something right. Even a blind pig... | |
| The Power Plant Regenerator debate drags on ASR is a bunch of idiots saying stupid crap to get clicks. The PSA regenerator converts the incoming power to DC, then inverts it to a near perfect sine wave (.1% distortion vs 2-4% incoming). The voltage is adjusted to whatever I set it at. It... | |
| Grimm MU2 Experience Above I posted that I have the MU1 and am considering the MU2. I’ve since upgraded my DAC and am extremely happy wiht the system. The MU1 is a spectacular streamer and roon core. I am a long time roon user. Decided it was time to upgrade and was ... | |
| Subwoofer with center channel I don't think sub frequencies are sent to the center channel. | |
| Anyone replace the springs of a Nobsound footer? Might be easier to just put 2 nobosounds under each corner. I'm a physicist and have worked a lot with spring constants and it is hard to figure out what springs to buy without buying a lot and trying them. | |
| Best Used Tube Based Preamp $2k Or Under? Depends on the rest of your system. I tend to go with the Hippocratic oath wrt audio: First, Do No Harm. By harm I mean overprocessing the signal. So if you agree with that and have a simple signal path with minimal processing, then get a point... |
