| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. jsbach1685 " ... does anyone know how figure out current flow by opening up the top and looking at the circuitry?"You could measure it with a voltmeter. | |
| Why are record cleaners so expensive? When you call the Audio Desk a "glorified vacuum cleaner" and say, "paying three grand for an Audio Desk cleaner seems a bit out of reason," it rather does sound as though you're complaining, even as you say you're not.Vacuum cleaners are common a... | |
| Why are record cleaners so expensive? simao " ... paying three grand for an Audio Desk cleaner seems a bit out of reason."Then don't buy one. But you can't compare the Audio Desk to your Spin-Clean device. Apples/oranges. | |
| Can too many components on one outlet affect the sound of an amp? giri " ...One other thing that I did was lift the ground and do a separate star grounding that goes out of the house into the ground. This I do not recommend to all as it has its serious dangers ..."Do you mean that your safety ground does ... | |
| Dedicated Line(s), One Line or Two? giri "I learnt recently from furmansound.com that even large amps use 4 amps continuously at most."That depends on the amplifier. Regardless, it isn't the draw at idle that's as important as the maximum amount of current an amp needs. With larg... | |
| Cable congestion vs. "the ideal"... I think it's fine to have signal cables running closely together. When they must be near AC cables, it's best to cross them at a 90-degree angle. If your system supports balanced connections, using them is the best way to minimize cable effects. | |
| Questionable service at Soundsmith I've had great experience with Soundsmith retipping, and just recently received my old MC Sigma Genesis 2000 back from them after they installed a new cantilever and stylus. It did take a few months, as they make clear on the website. | |
| Need Theta Digital DSPro Gen V schematics czarivey " You need to understand that English has distinct spelling from pronunciation: Theta said they "don't have", but spelled "won't give" instead."I guess you're trying to be amusing. But actually, I'm not at all certain that they have th... | |
| Can too many components on one outlet affect the sound of an amp? Depending on the state of your electric service, you could also be experiencing voltage drop. You might want to measure your voltage at the outlet - both with and without load. | |
| Forward or laid back hm1 " ... don't tell me that that music as recorded should be used to source the 'accuracy' of live sound or a properly designed loudspeaker . "I'm in no position to argue with you, hm1, because I honestly have absolutely no idea what it is ... | |
| Forward or laid back hm1 " ... My main and essential points are as follows. If we assume a loudspeaker is designed to deliver an essentially flat or neutral response with particular emphasis on the in room characteristics of the reproduction, it would be quite obvious... | |
| Forward or laid back hm1 " ... if the speaker in your system at home sounds like the amplified electric guitar on stage, you’re not listening to an accurate loudspeaker ..."This doesn’t make sense. If the recording is of an amplified electric guitar on stage and and y... | |
| Is a stereo amp, when bridged to mono, by definition differential? Al's answer is a great answer to a tricky question. One clarification I would make to the OP is that differential amplifier and push-pull amplifier are not interchangeable terms. Push-pull amps can be balanced or unbalanced amplifiers. | |
| Why do all audio forums on the internet seem "dead" ? I think one major reason that audio forums seem slow is Facebook - where people at least ostensibly have to post using their real names. That tends to make for a better signal to noise ratio. Contributors are a lot less likely to be snarky or pomp... | |
