| What have you found to be a good classic Jazz online station? I like iHeart Radio Vinyl Jazz. | |
| Cool running amplifier ok, there's no DSP, just crossover and bridging modes. I had already bypassed all of that.One thing I did do is tune the gain controls (which I originally assumed were attenuaters) which helped a little. I'm very, pleasantly surprised by this litt... | |
| Cool running amplifier Thanks @atmasphere . I'll check it out. | |
| Cool running amplifier For grins I decided to try a Crown XLS1500 that I have (it was powering pro/pa speakers in my jam studio). It's a class d 300 watts at 8 ohms. I didn't think it would fit through the cabinet door because it's 19" wide, but I managed to squeeze it ... | |
| Cool running amplifier ok, so I hooked up and tested the switch. It works great. The amp turns on soft as soon as (ie right after) the tv powers up. Once the tv turns off, the amp powers down soft again (counted 7 seconds as advertised). Thanks @imhififan With this dev... | |
| Cool running amplifier Yes, my preamp will remain on 24/7. I received the switch yesterday and will try it out today. If I get any unnerving power on sounds I'll abandon the idea. I still ill have a search on for a good class d amp or other suitable class ab amp.thanks... | |
| Cool running amplifier @imhififan excellent. I have one on order, will give it a try. Thanks | |
| Cool running amplifier thanks everyone for the input. Let me add some clarification too:The compartment that holds the power amp is ~24"h x 22"d,x 20"w. The amp sits on a shelf in the center and there is ventilation under and over. The back side of the compartment is op... | |
| Grounding my Silvertone Jea48 - if that’s indeed the correct manual (I saw your earlier comment that you aren’t sure), you’re right . . . , and indeed even if it’s not, my assumption isn’t necessarily correct. It’s easy enough to tell by opening it up and checking. The ... | |
| Grounding my Silvertone I should have added, if you're handy with electrical stuff, you can do it yourself for ~$30-50 and 30 minutes of time . . . | |
| Grounding my Silvertone The the tube amp inside that model is likely a transformer-less design. If you want to keep it running for the long term I would find a shop that can install an isolation transformer and a 3 prong power cord. It's likely to cost $100+, but for a v... | |
| Looking for great jazz guitar recordings - any recommendations? I need to second moofoo's mention of John Abercrombie. All of his recordings are great, and no one is like him.there's a lot of other good ones above . . . Joe Pass, Charlie Bird, finally Al Dimeola, though he's more fusion. | |
| Looking for great jazz guitar recordings - any recommendations? All of Jim Hall’s records.George Benson "White Rabbit". | |
| Take up drums at age 56? I say go for it. I did a similar thing . . . took up guitar in my 50's. I started teaching myself with books, online lessons, etc. In my case focusing on playing songs was key to keeping me going. After a couple of years of this I found a kid fres... | |
