| Digital Only Preamps - What's out there now? Hi Erik,IMO various DEQX models, such as their flagship model HDP-5 which I use, meet the criteria you stated. Although to be precise I would say "high standards in audio quality," rather than "highest standards in audio quality."Best regards,-... | |
| Questions about recording vimyl to computer? I have no particular knowledge of Peavey mixers or other comparable devices. But since you already have one giving it a try seems like a worthwhile idea.Good luck. Regards,-- Al | |
| Questions about recording vimyl to computer? Generally speaking it seems to me that what is likely to be much more critical than the USB interface circuit provided by such a device is its A/D converter. And the $38 price of the unit you referenced doesn’t seem to be encouraging in that regar... | |
| XLR USA TO EUROPEAN-WILL IT CAUSE DAMAGE I agree with Miller. In this case the only difference between the two standards is whether the non-inverted signal is present on pin 2 of the XLR connector and the inverted signal is present on pin 3 (which is the usual practice on components inte... | |

| Can wall sockets abroad have voltage that speakers can't handle? RCPrince asked the right question. Are they active speakers (i.e., containing their own amplifier), or electrostatics or other types requiring AC power?It appears that the AC in India is nominally 220 volts/50 Hz. If the speakers are AC powered th... | |
| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? I touched the red probe to the center and the black probe to the sides of the can and got 117 volts. That seems like the polarity is correct. Assuming that the "can" you refer to is the socket into which a light bulb is inserted you were measuring... | |
| Bi - Amping ... what are the consequence or disadvantages of not using the same Amplifiers ? Assuming you are referring to passive biamping (i.e., without using a crossover device between the preamp and the power amps) the advantages and disadvantages includ... | |
| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? I'm somewhat perplexed by the latest measurements, and I can't readily envision a miswire (or even multiple miswires, perhaps at the panel as well as at one or more of the outlets) that could account for these findings. But what I would say at th... | |
| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? I gave your theory some thought and I can see where there would be an increase of current on the equipment grounding conductor as more leakage was present but I cannot see where the voltage would increase. If anything the voltage would decrease. W... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? In the case of an amplifier having a triode/ultralinear switch, the ultralinear position will, roughly speaking, usually double maximum power capability compared to the triode position (i.e., a 3 db increase), while probably also affecting sonics ... | |

| Tube monoblock options? As a point of information, despite the use of the term "bridged" by the dealer and despite misuse of that term in some literature you may have seen, the 275-6 and other amplifiers in the 275 series cannot be bridged. When they are operated in mono... | |
| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? Hilde45, when you measured the 4 volts while the system was plugged in, were the components in the system turned on, or were they turned off or at least in standby? And as far as you know was anything else that is on the same branch turned on at t... | |
| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? @Hilde45, when you measured the 4 volt difference between safety ground and the miswired "hot" terminal on the outlets was some or all of the equipment plugged in at the time? If so, I think it would be worthwhile to repeat that measurement with t... |
