| Do i need a CD player, or can I use Mc Book? So I have to wonder - is anyone using "the cloud" to store their library???- perhaps the ultimate solutionHi Steve (Williewonka),No, I would have to say it is not a desirable solution, at least as the primary backup solution for a large music coll... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... Mapman’s last post is correct. EMI can occur, for example, at 60 Hz, which is not generally considered to be a radio frequency. EMI can also occur at pretty much any other non-radio frequency, as well as at RF (radio frequencies).Regarding neutral... | |
| Pre amp out on Pass Labs INT-150 The advice provided in the previous responses, while both well intentioned and appropriate for situations involving many subs and many amps, should absolutely NOT be followed in this case.First, it appears that your sub does not provide speaker le... | |
| Servers: Are we there yet? Interesting and thought-provoking post by Vicweast. To add some perspective, I’ll mention that the log of the SonicWall hardware firewall/router I mentioned that I use shows, on average, an unwanted and in most cases presumably illegitimate incomi... | |
| Do i need a CD player, or can I use Mc Book? Unfortunately RAID does not protect from controller failure, virus, lightning or simply operator's mistake. That's why I keep 2 backup copies instead. Second copy is an additional protection from something bad happening during backup. Also R... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? Good! A lot of good speaker recommendations have been offered, which would be suitable for a room of that size (assuming, in some cases, that the structural improvements you are intending to make would enable several hundred pounds per speaker to ... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? nab2 01-26-2016 10:17pmBefore I pull the trigger on this I'm fixing the room dynamics (in part by stiffening up the floor and removing the carpet). It's a near perfect cuboid, but the structure behind the walls and underneath the floor is l... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Oregonpapa, glad you have obtained such outstanding results with the black fuses. A question I would ask, though, in all sincerity, is how do you know that these findings were not primarily caused by effects on the player itself that might have r... | |
| Servers: Are we there yet? FWIW, my preference with respect to wireless routers is to not use one. Instead I prefer to utilize a wireless access point that is separate from the router, and connects to the router via an ethernet cable. In my case that facilitates being able ... | |
| Dedicated Line Advise Having worked on this issue extensively with many different systems, the chance of getting ground loop hum when powering equipment from the two opposing phases in your panel is greatly increased. While I agree that in theory it should not matter, ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I’m wondering if any of those who have experimented with fuse directionality have tried simply removing a fuse and then reinserting it in the same direction, but such that it is rotated through a significant angle (such as perhaps 180 degrees or s... | |
| Grace F9 F8 F-9 F-8 Andante F9 F-9 H S Sumiko Pearl Supex Phono Stylus GAS Sleeping Beauty Thanks for the follow-up, Chakster. I don't disagree with any of the comments in your most recent post, and in fact I had mentioned earlier in the thread that my F-9E Ruby when re-tipped by Soundsmith with one of his ruby-cantilevered line-contac... | |
| Grace F9 F8 F-9 F-8 Andante F9 F-9 H S Sumiko Pearl Supex Phono Stylus GAS Sleeping Beauty They are at Shinagava Musen Co. LTD simply call it: "The finest cartridge in F9 series!" FWIW, that isn't how I read it. It says, in part:The F-9F ... is the finest cartridge in the F9 series suitable for reproduction of compatible discrete 4-cha... | |
| Digital cable length- SPDIF vs AES/EBU- 1.5 meter for either? I remember the original threads and article claiming this and had bounced it off a very sharp engineer friend of mine at the time and several others. In short, I don’t believe it is true; there are more than a few high-quality SPDIF and AES cables... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz However, the part that confuses me is that all HFC cords appear to use the same size conductors, only the magnets get larger as you move up the chain. So being old school, and thinking that more current requires larger gauge conductors has me conf... |
