| how make your speker faster Is there a correlation between a speaker's step response and its square wave response?Sure. A square wave is just a series of alternating positive and negative steps, with some amount of time between them. Of course, how good or bad the responses... | |
| Amp Shutting Down, need help Sounds like a plan to me, except that my instinct would be to avoid configurations in which the Brick Wall and the Power Cell are used in series. If you are using both, have them both plugged directly into the wall. Also, given the small differenc... | |
| Amp Shutting Down, need help Is the Brick Wall Surge protector something that should be installed prior to the SR Power cell or just after the SR Power Cell and the Cary? Right now I have two plugs on my outlet one goes to the SR Powercell (which has my OPPO, Theta Pre-Pro, 2... | |
| V-DAC Power Supply question. Concerning current:The PS-4KX, with a 3 amp continuous current capability and a 4 amp short-term current capability, will be just as compatible with a load drawing less than 500 ma as the PS-3KX is. The load device (the V-DAC in this case) determi... | |
| Amp Shutting Down, need help Well, one thing that seems to be clearly established at this point is that the problem is related to inrush current occurring at the 20 second point, whether its root cause is DC offset + failure of the DC block in the amp, per Ralph's suggestion ... | |
| Original prices for LP albums EJ Korvettes, wow, that brings back memories! I was once told that the name stood for "Eleven Jewish Korean Veterans", any truth to that?Nope. In fact it was founded and named prior to the Korean War.http://www.snopes.com/business/names/ejkorvette... | |
| Top 5 Classical recordings Thanks, Eelii08. However at this time there is no provision in the A'gon system for private communications between members (although their blog posts have indicated that an on-site messaging system is forthcoming), and I'd prefer not to post my em... | |
| Need help from smart people - biamping I was thinking that max volume capability increase, before clipping occurs, now would be close to 3db. Aren't we 'doubling' (than what it was) the power essentially to both m/t and l freq drivers? No? That is my primary goal. I am happy with the s... | |
| Amp Shutting Down, need help 08-11-12: SailcappyI have a Cary 7.250 brand new amp that shuts down after 20 seconds in my NYC apartment. 08-21-12: SailcappyRemember this happens AFTER [emphasis added] i go from standby mode to Active mode.Jim & Michael (Swampwalker), I've ... | |
| Top 5 Classical recordings Lowrider, glad you enjoyed it!Some time ago I converted the mp3 download to a CD and played it on my main system. It was surprisingly listenable, and the sonics were certainly good enough to not detract significantly from the performance.Best rega... | |
| Amp Shutting Down, need help Hi Jim,Yes, I did look at the manual. As you realize, though, it does not appear to provide enough information for us to infer answers to the questions in my previous post.If the unit is in active mode and power is removed, it will remain activate... | |
| Need help from smart people - biamping Hi Nil,In a passive biamp arrangement employing identical amplifiers, whether vertically or horizontally, any given frequency component of the input signal to the amplifiers will be subject to essentially the same gain as if only one of those ampl... | |
| Amp Shutting Down, need help Sailcappy, thanks for the additional info. A few things are not clear to me, though, which are along the lines of some of the questions Jim had.1)If the extension cord is not being used, am I correct in understanding that the breaker on the amp tr... | |
| Amp Shutting Down, need help Jim, I didn't see your last post until just now; sorry. I guess it must have gone up just a few seconds before my last post.You've offered lots of good thoughts and suggestions. My only further comment is that while I'm not particularly familiar w... | |
| Top 5 Classical recordings 08-20-12: Lowrider57I assume these picks are for vinyl. When I am buying classical on CD, I need to research the record label, SPARS code and most importantly, what is the origin of the performance. ie: is it a Decca recording and after many chang... |
