| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? It has been pointed out by Atmasphere in a number of past threads that our hearing mechanisms use certain higher order odd harmonics as loudness cues. And also that our hearing mechanisms are extremely sensitive to even trace amounts of those harm... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Thanks, Geoff. I appreciate the recognition :-) --Al | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Kosst_amojan 9-9-2017 Auxinput is just lying when he says it made a 3dB difference. There’s no physical phenomenon in the universe that would explain that and that’s a difference easily measured. Kosst, for the record note that Auxinput did not sa... | |
| Has Rel fallen out of favor with audiophiles? Artemus_5, I haven’t read the rest of this thread, but re your last post Dave could very well be right. The input impedance of the high-level inputs of REL subs is very high, 100K in the case of many models. An unconnected high impedance input is ... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Hi Todd,Thanks for your comments and your interest. Steve’s approaches, such as what you’ve described, sound like good ones to me. Regarding your questions:Wider spacing of the two conductors will increase inductance and decrease capacitance. The ... | |
| Cable splitting It’s probably not possible to predict with any kind of certainty what if any sonic downsides might result from doing that. In part because one of the key factors that is involved, the output impedance of the AV8802A, does not appear to be specifie... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Gs5556 9-4-2017 The second reason (I’m guessing): the fuse makers cannot or will not supply technical data such as time-current curves, interrupt rating, melting, and UL approval numbers. That’s an excellent point, IMO. I’m not sure how a design c... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Hi Jim,As often occurs when this kind of subject comes up, ambiguity and/or imprecise use of terminology muddles the issue. If you replace his use of the word "charge" with the words "charge carrier," I think what he says then becomes pretty much ... | |

| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Thanks, Kijanki. Yes, that explains it pretty well. Although I can see how that statement could be misinterpreted. The reference to "in one direction" should say something like "in one direction for a given direction of the electric field," the di... | |
| Good Bass Recordings on CD for Subwoofer Testing +1 re Dafos. Also on Reference Recordings, the Berlioz "Symphonie Fantastique."Also, the "Sheffield Track and Drum Record."Also, if you can find it at a reasonable price, on Telarc, the Stravinsky "Firebird Suite." It is also available for downloa... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Geoffkait 9-3-2017No one has answered my question, why there is a net velocity for electrons? Assuming electrons move back and forth with alternating current which I’m not convinced they actually do. I believe I did answer that, Geoff: Almarg 9-3-... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Kijanki, I of course agree with your post. I suspect, though, that Geoff intended his "Exhibit A" post to be a rebuttal (mainly in its second paragraph) of the second paragraph of my post which immediately preceded it. To recapitulate the relevant... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Geoff, re your pop quiz, as you appear to realize there is no **overall** net movement of the electrons, assuming that the DC component of the applied voltage is zero. However, within each half-cycle of the applied voltage there is net electron mo... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Geoffkait 9-2-2-2017 Uh, I’ve already stated that it’s a tie. As indicated by the mathematical paper from the Journal of Physics on the dodgy subject of whether the energy of the signal is located outside or inside the conductor the energy is a... |
