| advice on dedicated line Its been mentioned many times to have the digital components on their own dedicated line.... Why is it recommended not to share the same AC line as analogue components? The most significant generators of electrical noise in most systems are compon... | |
| advice on dedicated line TLS, thanks for the inputs.02-08-14: BifwynneIn your opinion, does the Brickwall surge protector constrict the amp's access to AC wall current to any significant extent, at least to the point where I might be able to detect a change in sonics?Bruc... | |
| advice on dedicated line I doubt that there is much likelihood that having a 15 amp breaker instead of a 20 amp breaker would ever make a meaningful difference with respect to protection of the equipment, especially given the protracted breaking times circuit breakers gen... | |
| advice on dedicated line Margot, I believe that as you appear to suspect the statement does seem to imply that if two dedicated lines are being used, the safety ground connections of their respective outlets (the U-shaped openings of the outlets) should be connected toget... | |
| advice on dedicated line Good comments by the others. I agree that two lines should be adequate for your relatively low powered system. I would add that experimentation with what components are plugged into which line could very well be worthwhile. And it is even conceiva... | |

| No binding post a good idea? The binding post shown at the Merlin link you provided appears to be this one from Cardas, which is described as being patented. Are you sure that the design of yours is sufficiently different to also be patentable, and to not infringe his patent?... | |
| Moving to a dynamic speaker from a Electrostatic I think my price point will be near 15k and less.My system right now has audiovalve challenger monoblocks with kt88's and I also have a pair of roland model 6 monoblocks so I can go either way but maybe leaning to going back to solid state. I alwa... | |
| What is behind a "warm" or "vinyl"sound? I agree with the comments by Steve (Audioengr) and Mapman just above. One further point:02-05-14: CzariveyWith vertical axis not everything is perfect either. For red book CD we have 16-bits resolution. It tells you that maximum amplitude is 16 bi... | |
| What is behind a "warm" or "vinyl"sound? 02-04-14: Audioengr"in fact digital can round the square wave more than a cartridge in some cases"This has to be some piss-poor digital design....Steve, my comment which Charles referred to had to do with the fact that redbook CD cannot capture or... | |
| Bi-wire: is it worth it? When you're using a single full-range speaker cable (not bi-wiring), the large amounts of bass energy carried within the single cable has an adverse effect on the upper frequencies. In a bi-wire setup the cable feeding the the higher frequncies no... | |
| What is behind a "warm" or "vinyl"sound? First, an ideal square wave does not exist in the real world, as it would have an infinitely fast transition time between its two voltage states. However, if those transition times (i.e., the risetime and falltime of the signal) are very small in ... | |
| Why are they doing this? If it is a fully balanced differential amp you must connect the Neutrik with a separate ground to the chassis, you can not attach the (-) signal wire to ground. With due respect, although this statement is a little ambiguous, if I am interpreting ... | |
| Why are they doing this? Hi Bruce,As you've probably already found, it looks like the capacitance of 1 meter of Kimber Hero balanced is a VERY low 33.1 pf, including connectors (and 78.8 pf for 1 meter of the unbalanced version). So as you suspected there is no problem re... | |
| Why are they doing this? Hi Bruce,Yes, of course I well recall the solution you arrived at, revolving around Tom Tutay's buffer. And it is certainly an excellent solution in your case.What precipitated my comments that you've quoted is that the wording of your initial pos... |
