| Best power conditioner for 300.00 Brett I am using Chang Lightspeeds with good results. Aside from their conditioning properties, they have large internal MOV's (metal oxide varistor) as well as input & output fusing for transient protection. I don't know about getting that le... | |
| What is the Sound of Impedence Mismatch? Poulkirk your above treatise is very nicely explained & prompts me to clarify. Loading & clipping is of course a valid consideration. But it is not *the only* consideration of impedance mismatch, which is more generally manifested in freq.... | |
| I live in a large cement room... While on the subject of room treatments, I'm reminded of a tweak that I read about in Stereophile's Fine Tunes. The suggestion was to place a pair of unused speakers into the corners of your sound room, not wired to anything, acting as passive dev... | |
| What to do with an Absolute Sound set? why not try an auction? | |
| What is the Sound of Impedence Mismatch? Keis are you familiar with the concept of LCR cable-reactance-induced frequency response rolloff? I cannot at all agree with your statement above. | |
| Going Topless Pefstratiou it seems the you may have been the victim of a stray static electric charge induced from your body into the equipment as your hand passed over the cable's insulator? It may or may not have had anything to do with that cable, so I think... | |
| How many dedicated lines? Try one heavy line for high current analog. One smaller line for all other analog. One line for digital + TV. Temporarily install them lying across the floor, then listen & experiment. Try adding more lines if you really feel the need & se... | |
| Bose Infomercial Stokjoc I enjoyed your sermon, so here's a funny story. The best salesman at our local "better" audio shop is a personal friend. When he really wants to sell prospective high-$ customers on some quality 2 channel sound, he demo's first at his stor... | |
| What is the Sound of Impedence Mismatch? Dan you are a dreamer indeed, but no fault with that! Your suggestions are really terrific. I think for now at least the closest that we'll get to "guidelines" are to be found here on these forums (try this - try that - see what happens - scratch ... | |
| What is the Sound of Impedence Mismatch? I've read that bass rolloff (happens due to interconnect capacitance) can be caused by such an impedance mismatch where the pre's output Z is too high for it's PA load, so you might have such an issue Drubin. Have you experimented with different ... | |
| RPG Skyline mounting on ceiling Gregm thanks for the great idea! Also much appreciate your referral Kitch. That corner has always bothered me as there is a curtained window in the way. I never even thought of mounting "on the sidewall next & slightly behind the spkr." that's... | |
| Going Topless A variation on this scheme would be to try removal of the cover & using copper screen as an alternative cover/shield to attenuate incoming RFI (& fingers etc.). This reduces the deleterious effects of signal proxomity to ferrous steel (ass... | |
| Best Video cable for picture quality? Drubin: a good quality low loss wideband 75 ohm RF coax is RG-6, available from Radio Shaft etc. along with type-F connectors. I have not evaluated any other coax's regarding differences in picture quality, but I expect the lowest loss cable is th... | |
| Low noise Preamp for High Eff Speakers Many advantages of a passive are combined with selected attributes of an active linestage in Steve McCormack's very affordable TLC-1 "passive buffered" pre. Stereophile ClassA recommended; it has multiple inputs, 2 defeatable loops, and choices of... | |
| PS Audio built into room circuit? What we need now is a remote control for PS Audio's Multiwave... Attn: Paul McGowan! Make that an RF remote, since infrared won't penetrate through floorboards |
