| Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!! I have owned Harbeth 40.2 on my primary audio rig for around 4 years and have no desire to change. On a secondary system I have homemade speakers that contain Seas dual concentric drivers and really enjoy the accuracy of that sound. | |
| Shout out to the Moderator(s) Great post here Carlsbad2. Not only for the bot removal job, but for all they do which I'm sure is not easy. | |
| Oxidation on surface of cable under clear jacket Do you live in a humid environment? I've used clear coated speaker wires for many years and have never seen such an issue, but I'm in southern Wisconsin where it is not terribly humid. | |
| New Outlets Lead to Better Sounding and Tasting Coffee I have a small kitchen so I found a built in coffee maker made by Brew Express. It is hard wired, no outlet and has a direct feed from my breaker panel. It also has a 1/4" water line feeding it which is connected into my home R.O. filtration syste... | |
| Do I need 10 gauge power cord if I have 10 gauge from panel? @Ditsua: What is the current rating on that Crown amp? | |
| Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience? Terminology gets a little confusing...What is the name given to a full range drivers without crossover vs full range with crossover? | |
| Vintage amplifier specifications So two pair of speakers weren't necessarily amp killers in the days of yore so perhaps those old amps were more tolerant with beefier construction than I suspected. Now days the low impedance load handled by amplifiers are selling points or bragg... | |
| Vintage amplifier specifications I should add that a lot of those old amplifiers, usually integrated had hookups for two sets of speakers which could really drop the total impedance. Maybe a lot of those old units had short lives or they could handle it without issue? | |
| Question on component impedance mismatch Wlutke: There is a volume control and I forgot to employ it. I have a blue sound player that has the option for unadjustable volume, a factory default or variable. when I go to variable the gain is greatly reduced. What's funny is when in the var... | |
| Question on component impedance mismatch You're probably right, gain. I thought impedance somehow was part of the gain equation, but I stand corrected. I just don't like how low I have to keep the volume knob and was thinking the attenuators would reduce the amount of gain. If that is n... | |
| BluSound Node and Node 2 I have five, one blue sound vault and 4 of the original nodes for quite a few years. They have been pretty reliable however on occasion they will get flaky. I am able to resolve using the following: Reboot router and modem power down and back up... | |
| Power cable for Bryston I believe Bryston Company frowns upon "hopped up" power cables. I was having a problem with my 4BSST2 amplifier where it occasionally go off on a safety lockout. I called technical support and they really drilled with me with questions concerning ... | |
| Temporary Down Sizing - Integrated Amp Recommendations Used Hegel H190 as posted above or used Hegel H160 for lower cost. | |
| NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? I have an NAD C298 with NAD's Purify implementation and think it's great. I really can't tell it apart from my Luxman M900U, but as someone else posted: "I don't have bat ears" applies to me as well. | |
