| Pre volume control - hardly moves but volume rises a lot Is the switch in the back set to an amplifier only position? | |
| Audiophile fuses - Synergistic Black fuses vs the còmpetition Where is your data that shows this "1%" variance? Seems odd that these audiophile fuses require you to go up a size just so they won’t blow (even odder still when they are touted as 1% tolerance!).Those "standard cheap steel" fuses do not exist as... | |
| Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers For the same reason you lose water pressure in the shower when the toilet is flushed. More water is drawn, lowering the pressure in the tank. When the speaker has a high impedance, it’s like a faucet that is slightly open. The pressure (voltage) i... | |
| How to get Metadata in Exact Audio Copy EAC ripping As far as I know, EAC does not support metadata id tags for .wav files. You have to compress the rip into .flacIf you want to use metadata in.wav, you can use Media Monkey to fill in the data fields manually after ripping with EAC. | |
| Audio Research SP10 sudden shut off/mute while playing ?? AR has the schematic on their website. They use a pair of LM555’s to time the on delay, pretty straightforward. Take that to a tech and they should be able to analyze what's wrong pretty quick. | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil Upgrades I don't speak for the company but if there is an upgrade it will be in the form of a pcb replacement, either the USB, DSP or analog board. If and when it's available, that upgrade will be offered as an add-on to the base model and will probably be... | |
| Heat/Efficency of Speakers The heat gain in your room will be affected by the amplifier since nearly 100% of power consumed by the speaker is converted to heat.If you have two amplifiers, one being a 100 wpc Class A and the other a 100 wpc Class AB, both will pass through t... | |

| Refurbishing Avalon Ascent Mk 2 Did you try different components? I had the same problem with my Thiel 3.6 speakers distorting certain solo piano notes and Thiel said they could rebuild the driver if I remove it and send it to them. However, I picked up an SACD player and the di... | |
| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? To state that wire has "directionality" is to toss aside the laws of quantum physics. First. the conductivity is proportional to current density and electric field, irrespective of the physical dimensions of the conductor. Second, the net drift ve... | |
| AVP 2 fuse location and upgrade If they are (and can't see them) then most likely the fuses are soldered. Check the manual -- if it makes no mention of fuse rating or if it states no user serviceable parts inside then you probably cannot use after market fuses. | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? If these people are thieves, why don't they charge double their retail price? Simple economics: the price of anything is what people are willing to pay for it and what they are willing to pay goes up if the product is scarce and down if the demand... | |
| Grounding Metal Outlet Boxes and Isolated Ground Receptacles What concern did the engineer express? The way you describe is legal except for patient care areas where the two ground paths must be separate. (Maybe that's his thinking).Your chances for a ground loop are not from the two ground paths but from p... | |
| Mark Levinson No. 20.6 vs. Krell KRS 200 vs. Krell KAS Thomas:The preamp I use with the 20.6 is a CAT SL-1 Signature, which I had for almost 20 years I did audition a 38 or a 380 (can't remember) many years ago to see if balanced worked better than single ended and I did not buy it because I thought ... | |
| Scratchy pops coming from the left channel when I turn up the volume why? Plug in another source component to verify it's the preamp. |
