| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design +1 to Charles’ comment. Great job, Ozzy. Between developing the DIY speakers, becoming proficient with the DEQX, and integrating both of them with subs and two very different amps, you’ve certainly dealt with a multitude of challenges.And Bob, +1 ... | |
| Digital cable length- SPDIF vs AES/EBU- 1.5 meter for either? Also, some comments on the Lessloss writeup that Steakster linked to, which I disagree with to some extent: It makes no mention of the effects of length on the **timing** with which signal reflections arrive at the destination component (i.e., the... | |
| Digital cable length- SPDIF vs AES/EBU- 1.5 meter for either? Are you all saying any coax digital cable that is not 1.5m long should be tossed out? Kalali, please read the posts by me and by Kijanki dated 1-25-2016. As you’ll see, there are numerous technical variables affecting what length will be optimal i... | |
| Insane ground loop; anybody wanna try? Overheating conductors in walls is a major cause of house fires so you are correct but then you did prove my point. The grounding scheme in residential construction is designed to protect property not people it’s a well known fact and as I said y... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design Bob, if you are interested in learning about DEQX, when you have some time available to read through a lengthy thread see the following one:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/is-deqx-a-game-changer?And their website is worth visiting as well, ... | |
| Insane ground loop; anybody wanna try? The ground system in a home is not for people protection it is for fire protection. If there is current on the chassis and someone touches it the breaker is probably not going kick in time to save someone. Only a GFCI which is designed to protect ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Mac48025 3-14-2017Are the SR fuses blowing for no reason? I have 6 SR black fuses with the same values as the stock fuses they replaced without incident. Might the issue be one that only applied to the early fuses? Mac48025, after briefly making u... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Why would anyone put a crappy fuse in such a vital area, knowing it’s going to fail long before (if ever) required? It would also affect performance long before it ever blows.... These boutique fuses seem to address the failings of cheap fuses by ... | |
| Insane ground loop; anybody wanna try? Can you tell me why PS Audio cords have removable ground pins? I’m not familiar with their power cords. But I would guess that if those cords allow the AC safety ground connection to be defeated then the PS Audio components that they are presumabl... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design Ozzy, industrial distributors Digikey, Mouser, and Newark Electronics can supply pretty much any non-audiophile fuse you may require. Digikey has no minimum order requirement or handling charge. Not sure about the others.http://www.digikey.com/p... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Nyame 3-14-2017I am very disappointed that, as a fully trained Lawyer, you remain silent in the presence of Wolf-Garcia untenable sustained attacks on Oregonpapa and this thread. Nyame, allow me to point out the following statement which I made on... | |
| Insane ground loop; anybody wanna try? There are amplifiers sold with ground lift switches, so I think this is a common problem and amp manufacturers think it a safe solution. As a point of information, the ground lift switches that are provided in some components do not isolate AC saf... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... While the opinions I have expressed during the course of this thread do not coincide with those representing either extreme of the belief spectrum, I’ll say that I believe George has raised an interesting point about degradation of the fuse elemen... | |
| Short Lifetime for 6NS7 Tubes I had a 1950s Sylvania 6SN7GTB abruptly become severely microphonic a few years ago, in my VAC Renaissance 70/70 MkIII amplifier. It had previously been working well in my system for the better part of a year. I don’t recall the specifics of the s... | |
| Separate conductors for separate frequency ranges in cables Tony (Tls49), thanks for pointing out the reference to power cords, which I had missed. Which just adds to the bewilderment, as Blang11 aptly points out. Although as Kijanki alluded to, in some applications, especially in the case of power amps ... |
