| Dedicated Line Noise Filter? Thanks for the nice words, Lowrider.Given that when only the preamp and power amp are connected there is a loud hum when a cheater plug is not used and a lower but still significant hum when a cheater plug is used, it sounds like two problems are ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Craigl59 7-16-2017 There’s another way to look at power and the DIs. Eric specifies the power handling of the speakers at 400 watts. That’s what I use to judge how large an amplifier is required. I would respectfully but emphatically disagree with... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses ... you haven’t really read the HiFi Tuning data sheets very carefully, have you? 😛 The answer to that should be clear to those who have read one of my posts that I referenced here on 7-13-2017. That being the first of my posts dated 5-14-2012 ... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses Geoffkait 7-16-2017 Mr. Smarty Pants - Why should there be any difference whatsoever in measured resistance if fuses are not directional? They should measure exactly equal. He’ll-loo! None of you Barko Lounger experts have figured that one out... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses Geoffkait 7-16-2017 (quoting the HiFi Tuning paper)There is a measurable difference in directivity of fuses. Mostly that will be due to the way the melting wire is manufactured. The difference is in the range of 5 % . That is in the range of va... | |
| Dedicated Line Noise Filter? I asked the electrician about code, and he said it meets code and this is how he wired his house for a high-end HT system. He said not having a ground wire back to my circuit box containing old, poor quality wiring would cut down on noise. We... | |
| Dedicated Line Noise Filter? The sub-panel is connected by the hot lead and has it’s own ground including a second grounding rod. Lowrider, my understanding is that a sub-panel should have hot, neutral, and safety ground all wired back to the main service panel, and safety gr... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses Geoffkait 7-13-2017 Almarg, Roger appears to be just another outspoken but deluded amp manufacturer. Do you have a better example? 😬 Besides, you should know better than to use an Appeal to Authority. Does that work in court? Geoff, I wasn’t using... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses Geoffkait 7-13-2017 If it’s so easy to measure why don’t you or one of the other naysayers measure it? You’re just guessing. Why is it the folks that are already on board the fuse directionality AND Wire Directionality train are supposed to be ... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Glad to have been helpful, Dan. Enjoy!Best regards,-- Al | |
| Fuses fuses fuses Should i up the rating say from a 4 amp to 5 amp? That’s been debated extensively in the "Synergistic Red Fuse" thread, with disagreement even among the technically-oriented people. Given that detailed information defining the technical parameter... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses Careful, George! You may find yourself accused of being "irrational," as I appear to have been in the second post following my previous post :-)Best regards,-- Al | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Thanks for the additional info, Dan. But if I understand correctly it still leaves open the possibility that the DVR or its remote may be the source of the noise, as it would seem conceivable that the class D amps may simply be more sensitive to p... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! ...when my home theater setup is on (Comcast DVR, Primare SP 31 HT processor, Sony HDL display), when making changes on the Comcast remote, the noise abates momentarily during the sequence of time the button is being pushed. Hi Dan,That’s certainl... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses First, to be sure it’s clear, the point of contention in this thread does not concern the efficacy of fuse upgrades. It concerns the OP’s question no. 3, regarding fuse directionality. And in that regard there appears to be a reasonably compelling... |
