| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? To the people opposed to not making measurements:-You are fooling yourselves if you are thinking that mankind has very understanding of electricity! In fact, we have a very vast understanding of this subject - more than you can imagine. I'm quite ... | |
| Biamping 101 Clueless,Excellent link for Biamping basics. Thanks for the same!(once again I say this: you better change your moniker! You are hardly "clueless"!! :-) ) | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? IMHO & in my limited experience, I found that MOST powercords on the market is pure, unadulterated Snake Oil!! This has been confirmed to me by various audiophile friends many of whom use inexpensive Chris VenHaus Flavour X power cords after h... | |
| Anyone hear/purchase GMA Continuum 3's? Tweety,As a GMA C1.5i owner I can help a little to answer your questions:In general, the speaker design philosophy @ GMA is to design a speaker that intrudes the very least on the music playing. Roy determined that the best way to do so was to add... | |
| Which solid state amp loves a 4 ohm load? Sydneysophia,Audes Blue in a 60'X20' room is a BAD idea! This speaker is more suited to a 14'X24' type of room at the most. You probably cannot generate enough SPL to "fill" your room. To do so, you'll probably be playing with very loud volumes, t... | |
| Steely Dan's Aja Agree with Flemke!I too got the American pressed ordinary vinyl for $3 & am enjoying the heck out of it!! Don't need it in any other format! | |
| Question for Rowland aficionados Macrojack,Thanks for the insightful post! You've whetted my appetite for more info! Can you please tell us:(1) which module the European students designed under B&O's direction?? & can you please elaborate on:"that Jeff told me his digital... | |
| Kimber BiFocal XL speaker cable >>I would suggest you look into Monster Cable.Yikes!! Double Yikes!(but I know you're trying to give him what he wants). | |
| The ideal listening room Victorhsalcedo,MHO is similar to Highend64: use the Golden ratio (1:1.618)to size your room. This should ensure that room modes are not mutiples of each other which will ensure better room acoustics overall. George Cardas has treated this subject ... | |
| About Mosfet Unsound,Incredible indeed! I didn't think that a blown fuse would allow any power to that channel. Must be the way that the fuse was routed into the circuit. Many times amps have fuses but they are not in the direct signal path to avoid spoiling t... | |
| what is dynamic headroom? Zaikesman,Good info in your post borne out of experience I note & point well taken. Thanks for sharing the same.BTW, I wrote some basics on D.F. without meaning to write how much is high enough (as Fishcall posed a basic question); rather, poi... | |
| About Mosfet Unsound,I feel that it cannot be the fuses. If the fuse is blown, then there'll be zero (or no) output. Rainchild reports "Problem-One channel sounds like a weak reception radio".IMHO. | |
| what is dynamic headroom? The dynamic headroom bit is very well explained in the link provided by Zoya so I will not repeat it.Re. Damping factor: Damping factor is defined as the ratio of loud speaker impedance to amplifier output impedance. Nominally & simplistically... | |
| About Mosfet Some answers:>>First I would like to know how can one damages a MOSFET?Several ways: put more current thru it than it is rated for, put more voltage on its terminals than it is rated for, put a high surge voltage on its gate during power-on,... | |
| Question for Rowland aficionados Just a quick update: I searched these archives & found some info on the 302 & 201. I should have done that 1st before posting. Sorry!However, if anyone has any new updates on these 2 new models, I'd be interested in reading them. Thanks! |
