| Should Subwoofer Be Plugged Into Same Circuit? @lewinskih01 I have no particular knowledge of the technical characteristics of electrical noise that can be generated by LED lighting, although I understand that it can be significant. I found the following writeup, though, which indicates that t... | |
| Should Subwoofer Be Plugged Into Same Circuit? @craigert, being familiar with Ieales’ posts I can vouch for the accuracy of analyses he provides. Also, given the equipment in your system that you’ve listed in another thread, namely: Sony OLED TV, Marantz preamp processor, Atoll amp, cable box,... | |
| Are you Beethoven or Mozart? @newbee My comment about pain and suffering was of course in reference to what was said in the OP, which in turn had been concluded with a smiley :-) Best regards,-- Al | |
| Are you Beethoven or Mozart? I'm more Beethoven than Mozart, although of course I like both. Among Beethoven's symphonies my favorites are numbers 7 and 6, in that order. No pain or suffering in either one :-) (Although some may interpret the famous second movement of no... | |
| Should Subwoofer Be Plugged Into Same Circuit? ... why is a 20 amp circuit recommended over a 15 amp out of curiosity? My understanding is that 15 amp circuits are often wired with 14 gauge conductors, although they can be wired with 12 gauge, while 20 amp circuits must be wired with 12 gaug... | |
| Should Subwoofer Be Plugged Into Same Circuit? My guess is that you'll be ok plugging the sub into a different outlet than the rest of the system, on the same circuit. Assuming (per the reference cited in my previous post) that the wiring between outlets is Romex or some other wire type whi... | |
| Should Subwoofer Be Plugged Into Same Circuit? To add to the foregoing comments, I suggest that you read pages 31 through 35 of the following document, the section that begins with "this finally explains what drives 99% of all ground loops." It was written, btw, by Bill Whitlock, a renowned ex... | |
| Buy High Pass Filter or KAB RF1? ... my experience so far is that more expensive may have a better chance of being better, but more expensive doesn’t always mean better. Very well said. I concur 1000%.Best regards,-- Al | |
| Buy High Pass Filter or KAB RF1? I need to buy an outboard preamp so I can get rid of that phono cable extender. It’s horrible. I’m surprised so many people have recommended to just extend it. The hum is so bad it’s not even listenable. Rega seemed adamant that it’s a certain len... | |
| Power Amp To Go With Cary SLP98P Preamp A further thought regarding the XA30.8: Given the small size of your present room, depending on how well it is air-conditioned the heat that would be introduced by the 400 watt AC power consumption of the XA30.8 may be an issue. The XA25 I use may... | |
| Power Amp To Go With Cary SLP98P Preamp P.S: I’ll add to what I said in my previous post that an amp having particularly high output impedance also, by definition, has a particularly low damping factor. That may also result in your amp being a less than optimal match for one or more of ... | |
| Power Amp To Go With Cary SLP98P Preamp Heard lots of good things about this Preamp. Should I trade it in or look for a different power amp. Any suggestions? I have no experience with Cary or PrimaLuna products, but if I were to hazard a guess as to which of the two components is the w... | |
| Power Amp To Go With Cary SLP98P Preamp John Atkinson’s measurements of your preamp indicate that while it has a fairly low output impedance at mid and high frequencies its output impedance rises to a very high 6800 ohms at 20 Hz. That would not be a good match for the 22K input impedan... | |
| Buy High Pass Filter or KAB RF1? The weird thing is why are my front speaker drivers rumbling too when signals below 80 Hz are being sent to my sub? Looking at the manual for the AV7704, I see that depending on some menu settings frequencies below 80 Hz may or may not be sent ... | |
