| SVS SoundPath Subwoofer Isolation Feet At that price, maybe you get what you pay for? Seriously, how much engineering and materials can go into any product that sells for $10 per unit ? | |
| THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME DOMAIN RESPONSE MUST READ Apparently, the engineers who design speakers don't know what they are doing? They must be beating a path to kenjit's door to have it all explained to them? I for one don't need to understand all the minutiae it order to know if I like the way i... | |
| Looking for Advice on Focal Speakers @suboost My only advise is shop the used market. The Focals come up often and you can expect to pay 1/2 the list price for a pair in "like new" condition that are 1 - 2 years old. I speak from experience. Buy at the right price and you will be... | |
| Tube preamp options If you find my wallet down that rabbit hole, would you send it back to me? 🤣 | |
| Cost effective power cables recommendations, low and high power @troidelover1499 Before we start yet another long and tiring thread about the virtue of cables, may I suggest the OP simply check out the existig threads already on the site. You may also find the threat Couterfeit Chinese Cables enlighening. M... | |
| Dedicated circuits @immatthewj Yes. The 20A outlet may be a bit more sturdy, but the 15A outlet is missing the "t" slot specifically to keep 20A plugs from geing inserted. | |
| Dedicated circuits @immatthewj There is nothing wrong with using the 12G wire between 15A breaker and 15A plugs. You would use 10G or 8G if you wanted. The wire has nothing to do with the flow of current. That is held in check by the breaker. The amount of "dra... | |
| Dedicated circuits @immatthewj In therory, there is nothing wrong with your argument. However, the building code clearly says you can't do it. There is a reason why a 20A receptacle will accept both a 20A plug and a 15A plug, but the reverse is not true. My gue... | |
| Dedicated circuits @immatthewj A 15A receptacle on a 20A breaker is not an issue as any 15A appliance will never exceed the wiring in the circut. The reverse of a 20A outlet on a 15A circut is where the potential of fire comes into play. We assume the breaker wi... | |
| Dedicated circuits @jea48 It's against building code to install 20A outlets on a 15A breaker. You may be correct that the 15A breaker would trip, but do you want to risk your home insurance not paying out after your house burns down? Just follow the code and be p... | |
| Dedicated circuits @dpop Wow!! That's a 30 amp plug alright. I'm confused by your comment. The specs on the crown amp show it's draws 0.75 amps at idle. My Hegel H30s put out the same power as the Crown. As I stated above, the entire system in operation draws a... | |
| Focal Sopra 2 or Sopra 3? I've just sold my Sopra 2s. Was running them with a 50 WPS Triode 845 Class A amp. It was a great combination and I liked the speakers very much. I also used a pair of Rel s/812 subs to give that extra bass "feel" that most speakers lack. I th... | |
| How much is about the recording I doubt anyone on this thread, or site, has a shite system, so yes, it all about the recording. Why do some recording have a soundstage that goes out way past the speakers, and other are compressed to the point of almost sounding like mono record... | |
| Dedicated circuits If a train leaves New York travelling at 60 MPH, and a Hot Air Balloon can accend at a rate of 5 feet per second when the ambient air temp is 78.3 degrees, can I still hear any difference between a 12 gauge 15 amp line and a 10 gauge 20 amp line, ... | |
| Dedicated circuits @dpop Thank you for verification of my comments. Sadly it won't make much difference on this forum. What we have here are a lot of people who also "feel" how much better thier cars drive just after they've washed them. 😂 I read an article some ... |
