| A listening test of two power amps Haven’t listened to the files yet, but hope to later today. I find your wiring configuration of the Sunfire amp confusing. To my understanding, current drive would have the most effect on the lower frequencies. The tweeters should not need for mu... | |
| The real truth about recordings Read the article, and wanted to add some thoughts in a slightly different vein. All music is an emotional and energy experience. That is the main point. Whether it is a live performance, a studio performance, or a recording of one of those perform... | |
| Sharing a subwoofer between a Stereo and HT combination. Thanks to all replies. It looks like there are 3 solutions, but with some restrictions. 1. Parasound Halo P6 preamp, and the Parasound Hint6 both have 2 sub line level or LFE bypass inputs as well as the HT bypass inputs. Will check them out at t... | |
| Sharing a subwoofer between a Stereo and HT combination. @soix First, disregard option 1 of adding a stereo amp — you don’t wanna leave the AVR’s preamp section in the stereo pathway so either an integrated or separates is the way to go. You should share what sound characteristics are most important t... | |
| Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore? I’m one of those that listen to HD radio in my office set up. Found an older Sony HD tuner that is what got me into paying attention to the rest of my stereo environment. Lucky to have a number of HD stations in the Philadelphia area that are goo... | |

| Will audio gear be ok in unheated house As others have said, capacitors may be at risk if frozen. If any components have printed circuit boards, there is also some danger from solder spiders if the humidity and electrostatic charge is just right. Not an issue with point to point wiring.... | |
| Are you on or off? What say you? Standing very close to the merry go round. First step on was back in the 80’s with a Luxman c120 preamp and m120 amp, added DCM Timewindows, and a Mitsubishi LT1 turntable. Great stuff at the time and kept me happy for a long time. Old now (>70... | |
| Can a tube amp be damaged by a speaker switch? I am a bit confused. All of the comments are good, and are good suggestions for what you are choosing for a solution, but I think the approach is all wrong. What Marantz receiver are you using? Does it not have Pre outs? What Leben amp? Is it an... | |

| Investigating if ultrasound is harming LPs I think you are pushing the accuracy of the scale and the amount of change beyond a reasonable level. The ambient temperature, relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure will all be an affect at the precision you are attempting. They should all b... | |
| I have found out why new cables and tweaks actually work! Empathy! If you have a poor relationship with anything (car, machine, electronics, speakers, amps, cables, etc.); that item will perform more poorly for you. Cleaning you equipment shows you respect and like it, so of course it will perform bett... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? Have read the referenced study and have a few comments. The study references both diffraction and sound impedance of the enclosure for the speaker, but then creates enclosures where the volume of the enclosure and the distance of the speaker/pist... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES Continuing because clumsy keyboarding posted before finished. The framing protocol may or may not have additional parity and checksum error correction. A checksum is a calculated number that represent a mathematical calculation of the total value... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES Since the issue of 0 or 1 for digital keeps coming up, I thought I would add some comments from my own experience and somewhat limited knowledge. I am not a Electrical Engineer or a Digital Engineer, but I am a technician and have been involved wi... |
