| Synergistic Red Fuse ... You're welcome, Dave. BTW, I'm not sure if the reference in the second paragraph of my previous post to the SR fuse being glass was correct. But in any event the rest of my post remains as stated.Best regards,-- Al | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Dave,I believe that the main difference between a ceramic fuse and a comparable glass fuse is usually in what is called "breaking capacity." That refers to the maximum amount of current the fuse is rated to be able to safely interrupt when a ... | |
| Heat/Efficency of Speakers I was previously running a 10W tube amplifier in this room(4xel84 tubes) with 96db speakers. This was bearable in two hour doses this last summer. My friend assures me any Class D amplifier and many AB amps would have no such heating problems and ... | |
| Heat/Efficency of Speakers ...does the power usage scale with the volume and demands of the speaker? Yes, absolutely, in the case of class AB, and even more so in the case of class D. For class A, though, the AC power drawn from the wall outlet will be determined by the amp... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 You’re welcome, Chris. I would not expect there to be any compatibility issues when using a 6SN7GTB in any 6SN7 application. And it would be very unusual for a 6SN7GTA to not be substitutable for a 6SN7GTB (or one of its modern counterparts which ... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Hi Chris (Waltersalas),Regarding 6SN7 upgrades, a point to be aware of is that depending on the specific design of the amplifier in which they are used vintage 6SN7GT tubes (as opposed to GTA’s or GTB’s) may or may not be suitable. If you were to ... | |
| Pass Labs INT 60 VS. Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP VS. Arcam A49 I don’t doubt that some tube amps would do very well with this speaker. The ARC REF series would seem like good bets, for example, due to their combination of low output impedance (for a tube amp), robust power supplies, and other characteristics.... | |
| Has anyone listened to the T+A PA 2500R integrated amp (VS. Ayre AX5 TWENTY)? I have no specific knowledge of T+A products. But a point you may want to consider, if you envision the possibility of eventually upgrading any of the source components you listed in your other recent thread, is that your flexibility in choosing ... | |
| Grounding Metal Outlet Boxes and Isolated Ground Receptacles Jim, thanks for calling this thread thread to my attention, via your post in the directional interconnects thread. My response there on 12-6-2016, near the bottom of page 3 if posts are sorted most recent last, may be of interest to some here.Stic... | |
| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? Kijanki, thanks for the good comments about the Poynting Vector etc.Jim, wow, the Boulder 3060 is certainly quite a monster -- 441 pounds including its 86 pound granite base, a price well north of $100K, and 6000 watts max power draw. Given the la... | |
| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? Geoffkait 12-5-2016Current traveling down the wire generates a *magnetic field" - that’s the *induced magnetic field* and has absolutely nothing to do with either an em field or the *electromagnetic wave* that is the audio signal. The induced... | |
| Periodic noise Could be a nearby security system device, such as this one, which is described as transmitting various information every 8 minutes.Good luck. Regards,-- Al | |
| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? The issues of fuse directionality and cable directionality involve numerous factors that are different, and discussions of the two issues should not be commingled IMO. Some of those differences are:1)A fuse has just one conductor, while an audio c... | |
| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? Hi Jim (Jea48),I recall the discussion in that 2010 thread, in which I participated. IMO thelong series of arguments between Herman and Simply_q was basically sillyand unnecessary, and to a large extent revolved around the meaning of theword "flow... | |
| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? Regarding my previous post, when I said: During one half-cycle of each of the frequencies that is present the current corresponding to that frequency flows in via the positive conductor and out via the negative conductor. During the next half cyc... |
