| How much power is enough for B&W Nautilus 804's? Almarg,excellent comments & observations esp. #1 as I was also thinking along the same lines. I've bashed B&W enough here (despite being a former B&W owner OR maybe because I was once a B&W owner) that I decided to stay away. ;-)Th... | |

| Amp preamp impedance matching...can anyone explain? 07-19-12: Dracule1I have a tube DAC that uses a single 6SN7 tube with 1 microfarad coupling caps. I was told it has 8 kohm output impedance. that is correct. impedance at 20Hz = 1/2*pi*20Hz*1e-6 = 7957.7Ohms, which could be rounded up to 8KOhms. T... | |

| Tara Labs cables sound I have Focal speakers which are highly detailed and can get a little too precise sometimes. I added Cardas Golden Ref, ICs and it did the trick. Mechans, what you are listening to is phase distortion in the Focals & (happily) called it 'highly... | |
| Transformers .. Is It Just Me? Ok, another question, does Medical grade mean it was made to tighter tolerances ....What 'medical grade' means that the instrument will not spark nor will it create an electric shock hazard in the hospital environment both of which can be extremel... | |
| Transformers .. Is It Just Me? It states "The leakage current is the lowest 10uA or less for the most stringent applications." Does anyone know what that means ? yeah.normally, when a transformer is designed the intention is to keep the magnetic flux in the primary confined str... | |
