| Really bad sounding power cables ? I hate that horrible sucking sound coming for my wallet when a big waste of money is lurking around. | |
| What’s the Right Power Amp Ratio For Bi-Amping? What units are the meters marked in? Watts or VU or ? | |
| Switched outlet for power amp The amplifier would ideally have a 12 volt trigger that would power it up -after- all of the power-up transients from the pre-amp and sources have come and gone. Likewise the amp should be the first thing powered off. A soft start circuit is not a... | |
| What’s the Right Power Amp Ratio For Bi-Amping? The question boils down to this: if you had the ability to measure power consumption of white noise (equal amplitude across the audible spectrum, not necessarily 20Hz to 20kHz, if you could do it for 50Hz to 10kHz that would be a sufficient demons... | |
| What is the correct way to use the Zerostat? Discwasher used with D4+ fluid is the best thing before using the ZeroStat. | |
| Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free? Use a genuine vintage Discwasher if you can find one in good condition with D4+ fluid as maintenance. Vinyl of uncertain history should first be cleaned in the Spinclean, rinsed in distilled water and vacuumed to remove residual water. If you have... | |
| What’s the Right Power Amp Ratio For Bi-Amping? Thanks Erik. The thing that I’m looking to leverage is the impedance curve with a modest amp powering the high frequencies. I have a NAD 2700 for the low frequencies, with 150 watts per channel into 8 ohms, it’s quite capable. The other amp I have... | |
| What’s the Right Power Amp Ratio For Bi-Amping? Erik, power is the product of current and voltage. If the hi frequency side of the bi-ampable speaker is driven with the same signal (voltage) spectrum, it will only dissipate power where current is drawn. In this case, the crossover presents a re... | |
| What’s the Right Power Amp Ratio For Bi-Amping? Al, thanks for your insight. As always it gets the mind looking at different angles. The theory I’m going on with significant differences in power requirements is that low frequencies have longer wavelengths and the woofer cone has a much larger ... | |
| What’s the Right Power Amp Ratio For Bi-Amping? Erik, I’m using conventional magnetic/voice coil speakers (not electrostatic) operating in bi-amp configuration with the woofer separated, but the crossover still engaged, limiting the band pass to the mid/high drivers. The upshot is that the mid/... | |
| What’s the Right Power Amp Ratio For Bi-Amping? Stringreen I’m not asking you to judge what I want to do. | |

| Schitt turntable anyone? @celander you do not understand how vertical marketing works. Schiit is worth what it sells for, not a penny more. | |
| Song (or music) you want played at your funeral. “Lay Down” by The Strawbs, “Songbird” by Christine McVie, “Mister, You’re A Better Man than Me” by The Animals and “Mess” by Ben Folds Five. | |
| Schitt turntable anyone? @cleander the problem with schiit is their products are lacking in quality of parts and engineering. You can’t expect audiophile grade gear on a Walmart budget. You are free to go against conventional wisdom of course. That is why there are margin... |
