| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Al,Thanks for your knowledge and response!The answer to find a better fuse might be in some dynamic testing method which you may have some knowledge of rather than just the standard heat rise and current capacity that I have read about.Tom Thank y... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... TheAudioTweak 5-21-2017 Hanging on this hair thin element is an 8 gauge power cord ..what kinda battle of scale and competing forces is that one. Just a projected image..Tom That is a good point. And the resistance of a typical mains fuse will in ... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 I suspect that the higher filament current of the EML 300B-XLS (1.5 amps per the datasheet at their website), compared to the 1.2 amp spec of the original Western Electric tube (to which the KR tube conforms) is a factor in the very long reported ... | |
| What are you using to rip your cds to a hard drive? If your external drive is one of the "slim" types I would replace it with one that uses the kind of 5.25 inch drive mechanism that is used in desktop computers. Such as this OWC Mercury Pro, for $69.75. Or, alternatively, you could purchase an Asu... | |
| I have a Supratek Sauvignon preamp. Hi Joe,You may already be aware of this, but according to my literature the 5Z4GY has considerably lower ratings for the parameters shown below than for the other tubes you mentioned. So the answer would depend on the specific conditions at which ... | |
| How to wire audionics cc-2 in mono mode ... how is circuit complete without a ground The two black output terminals of the amp are almost certainly connected directly together within the amp, as well as to the amp’s circuit ground (to which the ground sleeves of the RCA connectors are u... | |
| How to wire audionics cc-2 in mono mode I couldn’t find a manual online. But after looking at some rear panel photos and based on how bridgeable stereo amps are usually designed I would expect that you should connect speaker + (probably red) to the red output terminal of channel A on th... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... On **numerous** occasions earlier in this thread and in several other fuse-related threads I as well as several respected designers of highly regarded audio electronics have explained why the measurements reported in the HiFi Tuning paper are not ... | |
| Richard Clark $10,000 Amplifier Challenge - Why Couldn't Anyone Pass this Test?? Wow, what a great post from Ralph/atmasphere. As always! +1.Also, while it doesn’t directly affect anything that was said in Ralph’s excellent post, to be precise I would just add that Ohm’s Law and the stated definition of power apply to resistiv... | |
| Tekton Pendragons - looking for low watt SET amp Again, though, Lou, the dynamic range of the recordings that are listened to is a big variable. Most pop and rock recordings are compressed to very minimal dynamic ranges, often less than 10 db (which is a power ratio of 10:1 between the loudest n... | |
| Tekton Pendragons - looking for low watt SET amp Glen, don't forget about dynamic range. I have many classical symphonic recordings in my collection that have been engineered with minimal or no dynamic compression, and can reach brief (1 or 2 second) peaks of about 105 db at my listening positi... | |
| For older guys I've always liked "Magic Moments." Sweet song, very nicely done. An early gem in the careers of composers Burt Bacharach & Hal David.Best regards,-- Al | |
| Richard Clark $10,000 Amplifier Challenge - Why Couldn't Anyone Pass this Test?? Erik_Squires 5-15-2017atmasphere:I am saying your entire argument is bunk, because the ideal amplifier is a voltage source, not a current source. I’ll have to disagree with you on this, Erik. The ideal amplifier is a voltage source if the speaker... | |
| A technical question for this community ... maybe the manufacturer is refering to hooking up a device that grounds its negative wires of the left and right channels to the chassis, would be a problem for a balanced amplifier. I’m just guessing. Yes, one of the two major potential issues... | |
| A technical question for this community Whether or not a problem will occur depends on the internal grounding configuration of both the sub and the amp, particularly in terms of the impedance through which their internal circuit grounds and AC safety ground are connected.By any chance d... |
