2 Ohm Tekton Pendragons
Thus, a 2R speaker needs x8 the current as a 16R speaker does.For the same output power it needs only x2.83 current.  Same goes for wire thickness calculations. 
2 Ohm Tekton Pendragons
I remember that late Vince Bezdecheck (muralman1) drove 1 ohm Apogee Scintillas with 500W (Icepower based) H2O monoblocks (rated 2 ohm) with great results. 
Current...
I can understand people assuming that RMS voltage or RMS current has to deliver RMS power, but in reality it is average power, equal to 1/2 of peak power for sinewave. It took FTC 20 years to realize that there is no such thing as RMS power or RMS... 
Has Digital Audio Tech Plateaued - Is It Safe To Come Out Now?
Yes, you need 45MP to get film resolution in best case but in low light film is useless.  I remember using 1000ASA film, gettin grain and dirty colors (400ASA was OK).  Today 10x that is still good.  Easy of use of digital photo is similar to digi... 
moving from house to an apartment.. goodbye 802D's
I'm not sure you have to get rid of them.  In any case you should decouple speakers from the floor with vibrapods or something similar.   
AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House
@bigkidz Yes, it would be better to say "I've heard many class D amps".  I liked class D from the beginning and in 2008 posted a list of class D makers (today likely much longer).  There are over 50 companies on this list and most of them make mor... 
AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House
@cal3713 Yes, it is interesting idea.  Not only for the possible upgrade, but also in case of power element failure.  Performing musicians enjoy ease of tube change in comparison to power transistor replacement.  The only negative I can see is the... 
Audio PC
I plugged my computer into outlet on different phase (I use WiFi).  Digital transmission may produce timing jitter that will translate to added noise, proportional to signal and present only when music is present, causing loss of clarity (during g... 
Advice needed: replacing tweeter in PSB Image 4T
My replacement tweeter had the same DC resistance, same impedance at 1kHz, same efficiency and the same build (short horn), but result was strange.  I verified phase using small battery and magnifying glass.  New tweeter had more pronounced very h... 
AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House
Never mentioned 95 amps but 95%. If you really want to know or experience something you need to bring into your home and i do, i need to know for myself.Most of people don't even know how many class D amps are out there.  Do you?How many class D a... 
AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House
You listened to 95 different class D amps in your home???  I don't believe you (to put it gently). 
Does removing "interface jitter" help, if my source has jitter?
Benchmark does not recover clock from the data.  It ignores it (asynchronous rate converter).  Benchmark specifies insane jitter tolerance of 12.75 UI bellow 3kHz and 1.5 UI above it.  At audible frequency of 10kHz jitter tolerance would be 0.1ms ... 
Isolating Transmission Line speakers from floor
It is possible that spikes reduce energy transfer (extremely small contact point) but more likely they allow better coupling (especially on the carpet) to the floor.  As long as floor has lower resonance point than 20Hz it will reduce speaker vibr... 
Should I list all my classical CDs?
I would keep them, just in case, but to give it away Library would be my first choice. 
Does removing "interface jitter" help, if my source has jitter?
Any jitter on S/Pdif will be suppressed.  It doesn't matter what introduced this jitter (CDP or digital cable).  The only jitter that cannot be removed is recorded jitter.  Early digital recordings were sometimes done with poor, jittery A/D clock....
