| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? "Your connection scheme may work in your system, but I know for sure it wouldn’t work in mine. I can’t see any value in using an amplifier - as opposed to the preamplifier - as the common ground connection."+1 cleedsMany years ago when amps and pr... | |
| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? terry9Not wanting to start a debate and you can obviously use whichever technique you wish, but everything I have read says shield/drain is connected to source end, or as I say, sending end. Also, I have looked at many cables from different manufa... | |
| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? "While any premium microphone cable will serve, I would stick with Mogami 2534. If you are terminating with RCA connectors, connect both the blue wires to the centre pins, both white wires to the outer rings (or vice versa). Connect the shield to ... | |
| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? Yes, one cable per channel, and preamp to power amp is definitely an analog audio signal. | |
| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? "Ok I am really green and have a couple rookie questions. Somebody before mentioned getting wire to send an analog signal. Isn’t this a digital signal? Maybe they meant just don’t use cable meant for video like RG6?Also, wouldn’t you always want a... | |
| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? IMHO, I would not use that Infinite digital coax for an analog audio connection. I just never liked the sound of RG6 cable for analog use.My choice is Mogami 2534, with the 2549, a very close second, but either one would be a good purchase. Here's... | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? "Practical difference between cast and stamped metal has probably evened out over the last 25 years. If they have survived, they have proven reliable enough, I would say."Both transports were reliable. It’s just that the cast metal transport sound... | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? lowrider57, don’t remember how to describe it, but Dolby C just never seem to sound exactly right, so never used it.The CR-7a is an extremely nice deck, however not one of my favorites. It is a later model that used the stamped metal transport. Th... | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? It's true that the many cassette decks suffered high frequency loss using Dolby Noise Reduction, however this was not an issue with the better Naks. I have owned a Dragon, CR-7a, 670ZX with NR-200 Dolby unit, RX-303, 581Z, and still have my origin... | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? If both are in the same condition, the best choice would be the Cassettedeck 1. The DR-2 is newer, however the Deck 1 has the better transport. The Deck 1 has, what some techs call, the basic Dragon transport. It is cast metal and the DR-2's trans... | |
| There should be a "Rant" category... "but it rubbed me the wrong way so much that I moved on."I can definitely understand how this may not be normal for ethical negotiation and that it would be frustrating to deal with, but have you really moved on? Yes, you forgot about the purchase... | |
| Speaker driver sizes - pros and cons To start with, the (3) 4 inch drivers will have about 1/3 of the surface area of a 12 inch driver. If you want surface area to be approximately the same, it will take (9) 4 inch drivers to be equivalent to a single 12 inch. | |
| Watts are watts? No doubt that the amp/speaker pairing is important for good sound, and it's true that lower sensitivity speakers need more power than higher sensitivity speakers, however that's just part of the pairing issue. Generally, it's best to use higher im... | |
| Onkyo A-9555 The sensitivity does not affect it being safe or not for the amp. That affects volume of each pair. Higher sensitivity will play louder, but if it's only 1db, you likely will not hear a difference. The impedance is what can present a problem. Play... | |
| Filling speaker Stands? Regardless of what you use and if the stand is not sealed, it might be a good idea to use a plastic bag inside the stand, then nothing comes out for any type of stand construction. It won't be easy finding the right size bag, so you will need to m... |
