| Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse? However if you want to live dangerously, and your circuit breaker is up to the job, you can always try to substitute a 13 amp fuse for a 3/5 amp one. Yeah, we've covered why this idea and also the idea of "soldering a straight wire instead of... | |
| Hiss not Hum help The attenuator will basically reduce the entire signal level (which does include the hiss). The result is that you will have to turn up the volume control higher than normal on your preamp equipment to get the same amount of sound out. As long a... | |
| FI-28 (R) IEC Connector Bad Buy? Furutech Rhodium is excellent. However, it does take a long time to burn in. It can be extremely harsh and painful to listen to during this process (and you are definitely in that area with 20 hours of use).I would take that power cord and conne... | |
| Speaker arrangement terminology Hmmm. yeah, I would agree with your description of 6.0 and 6.1.That being said, in your system, I think I would replace the two HGS-15 with your two HGS-10. Then connect the big HGS-15's to your Bryston .1 subwoofer output. The reasoning here is ... | |
| Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse? oregonpapa,Was that supposed to be funny? It’s obviously $28.50 dude, it's $28.50 for the base fuse. Select the option drop-down and see what the price does for each of the different color fuse options! lol | |
| Speaker arrangement terminology If you have two subwoofers, but use a Y-splitter cable on one output of your receiver/processor or if you daisy chain one sub to the other, then it is still considered 1 LFE channel since you are only using one output on your receiver/processor. ... | |
| Home Theater Bypass , why am I hearing this now. By coloration , I included the averadge quality electrical isolation and vibration control of a HT processor compared to highend integrated amplifier or preamp with HT bypass. Ah okay. In my mind, "coloration" is a purposeful design of an audio c... | |
| Home Theater Bypass , why am I hearing this now. Oh, just re-read and figured out that you don't have a processor/amp setup yet. You only have a AV Receiver (which is okay, but leaves a huge area for upgrade). So, my comments:You can't really use a "preamp HTBP" with your current receiver unle... | |
| Home Theater Bypass , why am I hearing this now. Did I hear my name mentioned? lol. Just kidding.I will disagree with maxwave here in the idea that most HT processors will add "coloration" to the system. There are some that may add some coloration, but for the most part HT Processors are engin... | |
| Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse? This is definitely a point of diminishing returns. I don't think any one of us here would likely spend more than $175-225 for a single fuse. That being said, if you own a Bugatti Veyron, then this could be an option for you!! | |
| name for stereo system in single case Hah! It’s only a boom box if it has a handle on top. Gotta carry it on your shoulder or hanging down below, walkin’ down the getto while blasting Easy E!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwOEDNGW5mAAs far as the OP is concerned, I think these are re... | |
| are B&O hedphones good? Ah, added note. The AKG K240 mk ii model for $128 is a LOT flatter in frequency response and better than the $60 version. | |
| are B&O hedphones good? FYI, I just recently got some AKG K712. It is excellent in resolution. The K240 is likely very good as well, but it has a bump in the 100hz midbass area and a pretty high peak at the 6-7khz area. This would make the midrange a little hidden, bu... | |
| Hiss not Hum help The "hiss" problem is usually because of a preamp that has an extremely "high gain" stage combined with ultra-efficient speakers. I'm not sure that your Focal would be considered ultra-efficient. These are typically the really high 98-99db speak... | |
| Is it safe to use a higher amperage rating fuse? Littellfuse makes a 285 series in the small 5x20mm size that twoleftears is talking about. It is available in either gold-plated or rhodium-plated end caps. The problem is availability. Both Digikey and Mouser have them in the catalog, but only... |
