| Squeezebox Touch: jitter thru wi-fi? 802.11g runs at up to 54MbpsNot in the real world. 15 mbps would be a reasonable expectation for a fairly optimal setup, and I'm sure that less than 10 is not uncommon. I don't have a feel yet for typical 802.11n performance, but given that the th... | |
| Who is the KING of MONOS? 12-08-10: MapmanAtmasphere,I hail those as worthy of a king for sure!Who/what can top that?I third that! Awesome!!!Best regards,-- Al | |
| I am at the end of my rope, please help Hifihvn, all of the specs that I've ever seen for digital multimeters do not provide enough information to determine the safety of their resistance or continuity functions with respect to a LOMC. The things that have to be known are the voltage th... | |
| I am at the end of my rope, please help Thanks, Hifihvn. If I understood one of Audioraider's earlier posts correctly, he already tried swapping channels at the cartridge, and the problem DID move to the other channel.One further note to Audioraider: If you measured continuity using a y... | |
| I am at the end of my rope, please help Audioraider 12-08-10: Here is the problem; when I disconnect the cart, the meter reads perfect continuity from red clip to pos, green clip to neg on the RCA and white clip to pos and blue clip to neg on the RCA BUT when I hook up the cart, the red... | |
| I am at the end of my rope, please help Gentlemen,Please note that Audioraider indicated in his initial post that he has already replaced the tonearm wiring, as well as the tonearm itself (perhaps twice, if I am interpreting correctly). My interpretation of what he has said is that thos... | |
| Modwright sony xa 5400cd Dan, there appears to be only one negative comment about the modified unit above, not two. One of the other comments that might be construed as negative was tongue-in-cheek, and the other was about the unmodified unit.JWM, how long is your interco... | |
| I am at the end of my rope, please help I never enjoy being the bearer of bad news, but I would absolutely not put an ohmmeter across a phono cartridge, or across a cable that is connected to a phono cartridge, especially a low output moving coil. The meter measures resistance by measur... | |
| I am at the end of my rope, please help Did you perform the checks with the Fozgometer and the voltmeter AFTER performing all the replacements and adjustments that you described, as well as before doing them?If not, consider the possibility that there may be two problems present, causin... | |
| Can temperature fluctuations affect audio gear? That strikes me as a good datasheet to use for purposes of focusing the discussion, Magfan.It's interesting to note, extrapolating from the data that is provided, that its maximum rated power dissipation of 115 watts at a case temperature of 25 de... | |
| What's more important, watts or capacitance? Stanwal: A complicated question with no simple answer; remember again specs aren't sound quality. Hifihvn: Overall good design is whats important.I second these comments. At best those specs will tell you how much maximum volume can be generated w... | |
| Can temperature fluctuations affect audio gear? Heat does indeed kill electronics, or at least reduce mtbf. However, if the equipment is well designed from a thermal management/heat sinking standpoint, and if parts such as electrolytic capacitors whose mtbf may be particularly heat sensitive ar... | |
| More Grounding Questions But I am not sure it (ground loop) does not hurt sound quality when the music is playing. As I suggested, I think that the only way to be sure is to try it both ways (with and without cheater plugs), and compare the sound. I don't think comparing ... | |
| Wadia S7i direct to amp Paperw8: If you look at power as a function of voltage and perform the power measurement AS A RATIO OF THE CORRESPONDING VOLTAGE LEVELS, then each halving of voltage level corresponds to a 6dB reduction in power levelYes, absolutely. But note that... | |
| Wadia S7i direct to amp Paperw8: a 3dB reduction in voltage corresponds to a 6dB reduction in power.Bombaywalla: wrong! a 3dB reduction in POWER corresponds to a 6dB reduction in VOLTAGE.I haven't taken the time to read through most of this thread, but I'll just say with... |
