| Synergistic Red Fuse ... For fuses on AC power line, I am assuming that AC "signal" flows into the equipment thru Live/Line/Hot terminal and out thru the Neutral terminal....... Please let me know your comments and if this theory is a proper way to orient fuses. Hi Alex,... | |
| Don't think my preamp likes feeding signal to two seperate places. Fundsgon, I see no indication in the manual or the datasheet for your amp that it has balanced (or bridged) outputs. So as would be the case with most amps I don’t see any problem using the SMS-1 with it. And I would expect that even in some and p... | |
| Don't think my preamp likes feeding signal to two seperate places. P.S. to my previous post: Now that I think of it, even if the SMS-1 wouldn’t create the problematic circuit path I described above, a similar path might be created via the SMS-1’s connections to the Adcom amp, and then via the Adcom amp’s safety g... | |
| Don't think my preamp likes feeding signal to two seperate places. Regarding the SMS-1, the one concern I would have about connecting it to the DS450 outputs relates to the fact that the DS450 is a differentially balanced amp. So presumably its negative output terminals as well as its positive output terminals ha... | |
| Don't think my preamp likes feeding signal to two seperate places. Erik, note in the initial post that he is connecting the LS17 to the DS450 power amp directly, via XLR. Treble gets a little less extended. If the cable length from the LS17 to the crossover is particularly long, and/or if the cable has high capac... | |
| Daedalus Athena How would you compare the sound of Daedalus Athena with the other non high-efficiency speakers (used) in the same price range? I can’t speak to that in terms of experience with recent models, and I’d be hesitant to do so anyway because it would in... | |
| Class D Technology Regarding the EE Times article, I took a look at some of the many patents that were issued to what was then the author’s company, JAM Technologies. It appears that most or all of their amplifier designs were intended for applications in which the ... | |
| Splitter Hi Lou,I’ve had good results with the DB Systems model DBP-2JAU/5 ($110) listed near the top of this page. I've used it in a couple of different 2-in / 1-out applications, but it can also be used 1-in / 2-out among other ways. It is similar to the... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Thanks, Dave. Yes, as you found and as several others have reported earlier in the thread in appears that the SR Blacks blow a bit more readily than at least most stock and boutique fuses having the same ratings. And I agree that if there would be... | |
| Conrad Johnson Repair Issues If the thread is removed the many people who have either participated in it or viewed it (as of now the thread has been viewed more than 3000 times), and people who may come across it via Google’s cache after it is removed, will never find out wha... | |
| Splitter Depending on the specific cables and components that are involved the effects you have noted may be due to one or both of the following, which are not caused by the splitter itself:1)The phono stage is now having to drive a lower impedance (i.e., ... | |
| Is it biwiring or biamping if using two separate speaker posts of a single amp? John (Jmcgrogan2), no, for only the second time in recorded history I must disagree with you. Various statements in the manual for the amp in question will confirm that as I would have expected both the A and B outputs for each channel are driven ... | |
| Class D Technology Atmasphere 11-4-2016 A drunk ran a stop sign and T-boned my car, totaling it, back in July. I had a lower back injury that was really painful (bulging disk into my sciatic nerve); its only now healing to the point that I can dress and move in a no... | |
| Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP Driving PSB Imagine T2s +1 to Donjr’s comment. It is entirely possible that a great speaker used in combination with a great amp that has adequate power and drive capability will result in mediocre sonics, or worse. Per my earlier comment, that is especially possible if ... | |
| The dumbest stereo experience ever! Sounds to me like he is simply a collector of these things, just as some people are collectors of coins or stamps or vintage watches or various kinds of antiques. And I suspect that his comment about watching the reels go around was simply a half... |
