| Cable for my Rythmik F12SE Sub So if im going to go with line out (variable) on the amp to line in on the sub do i take Y splitters on both sides to hook up the subwoofer cable or get two cables? Spoke to folks at Rythmik they recommend the Blue Jeans LC1 with Y splitters on b... | |
| New system with periodic sound dropouts My computer is a Dell Inspiron 3847 desktop connected wirelessly to AT&T’s network. The Microsoft Windows Update came through 9/30/2016. All music is stored on the internal hard drive. It looks like your computer probably has a 1 TB 7200 rpm m... | |
| New system with periodic sound dropouts As with many computer-related issues there are countless possible causes, but I doubt that power quality is a factor in this case.If a wireless link is involved, as suggested above interference on the channel that is being used is certainly a pos... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Just as not all audible differences are measurable, not all measurable differences are audible.The following is quoted from a post I made on 4-8-2016 in this thread:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/quality-and-security-of-littelfuse-products... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Okay, so does that mean that the "proper" direction of a fuse can be measured? Based on the comment and findings provided by Atmasphere that I quoted on 8-3-2016 on page 49 of this thread, and consistent with the second of the two comments by Warr... | |
| Since Krell 302e & Cary SPL-05 have (gain/imp issues) what tube pre is best w/ the krell? What gain/impedance issue? John (Jmcgrogan2), see my posts in this thread.There is no issue with gain, although the gain specs of the SLP-05 are very inconsistent with John Atkinson’s measurements. As is the output impedance spec, potentially with... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... According to Warren, when metal is extruded (drawn) to make wire it affects the direction of the grain in the metal. When the fuse is orientated in the direction of the grain, the sound will be the best. When the fuse is in the opposite direction,... | |
| Cary SLP-05 pre + Krell 302e/402e sound? Should I consider a different power amp? Hi Charles,Yes, it is puzzling how a component could be spec’d so inaccurately, especially one that is so highly regarded and was designed and originally spec’d while the company’s very highly regarded former designer was still there. Those origin... | |
| Cary SLP-05 pre + Krell 302e/402e sound? Should I consider a different power amp? John Atkinson’s measurements of the SLP-05 were very different than the published numbers for gain and output impedance. For output impedance he measured......1500–1600 ohms in the midrange and treble, rising to 3400 ohms at 20Hz [unbalanced], wit... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Fazee 10-04-2016One issue to consider is that Singapore’s electricity voltage is 230V whereas the voltage for the U.S.A. is 120V, therefore I have no idea if this would affect the fuse values in the Sony in anyway? In the case of an AC mains fuse ... | |
| What do audiophiles want from a cable? In past threads Atmasphere has offered what I consider to be persuasive proof that in the case of analog interconnects the components being connected can be designed in a manner that will result in any reasonably well designed and inexpensive bala... | |
| Your first component that was "special" A Grace F-9E phono cartridge, purchased in 1979. I then proceeded to use various incarnations of that cartridge (the original version, the ruby-cantilevered version, and a Soundsmith-retipped ruby-cantilevered version) for the majority of the ne... | |
| Audio Research LS 25 MkII compared to actual AR production ? In the facts, i.e. listening, LS25mkII sounds great with no roll off or problems. Good! The general thumb rule of 10x is respected and the most restricted Audio Research thumb rule of 30x is in the limits. To clarify, though, to assure impedance c... | |
| Doubling a Set of Speaker Cables ... it’s quite possible that doubling speaker cables is also doubling cable capacitance, and I’m not sure about inductance. Hi Erik,My initial post above addressed that. Paralleling ("doubling") identical speaker cables will double capacitance, wh... | |
| Best amp for natural timbre of unamplified acoustic instruments & vocals w/ Revel F32? Based on the information provided my instinct would normally be to advocate selling the speakers. Assuming, of course, that your assessment of their sonics reflects adequate break-in, experimentation with placement and with settings of the contro... |
