| Questions about Ethernet Cabling I work for Broadcom as a senior software engineer and deal with this stuff almost daily. As long as your ethernet wire is rated for the correct bit rate and length, and you do not live in an extremely noisy (electrically) environment like a facto... | |
| Dedicated 20 Amp Line for Audio A dedicated 20 amp line will be able to supply about 2400 watts. I am assuming you are using the appropriate cable for your 20 amp outlet (12 awg romex is more than enough). You SHOULD connect EVERYTHING to it without hesitation. Contrary to po... | |
| Changing 100uf cap Why do you feel the need to change your xover caps ? Usually, they are film capacitors and would last more than anyone on this thread would. Unless any of them are busted, just leave them alone :-) | |
| Coiling XLRs.... yes or no? XLR wires carry differential signals. It will not matter that much if you coil the wire. Especially only 3m long. You will not even hear the difference one way or another. | |
| Class A amplifier alternative? Parasound Hint 6 is a very good integrated exactly within your budget. It is just about capable of 240 watts per channel into 4 ohms. | |
| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? Thank you jerryg :) | |
| What do audiophiles do in their cars? Buy a quiet car and close all the windows. | |
| Top 5 Reaons to NOT BUY A TURNTABLE. I like watching it spin regardless of the inferior sound that it always produces. It is a ’visual’ fetish rather than good sound. | |
| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? What a load of bs. | |
| Why do my bass drivers shake violently listening to vinyl You either need a better turntable with a much better bearing or a very good rumble/subsonic filter on your amplifier. | |
| New speaker cables recommendations sought Teh_chuksta. I am trying to save you some money that is all. Unless you are operating in the megahertz frequencies or running wires longer than 100s of feet, any standard typical multi strand copper wire rated for the correct current, costing no m... | |
| New speaker cables recommendations sought None of it matters in audio frequencies. About 80% of what is written here is pure delusion. Again, read the article well. It will enlighten the delusioned. | |
| New speaker cables recommendations sought There is no such thing as a "warm", "musical" wire. As for "atmospheric", I do not even understand what it means....listening under the rain perhaps ?Let me correct myself. You can indeed get warm wires if you pump excessive current through a wire... | |
| Moving to the UK - Need Transformer Wow, brings back memories :-)Good luck with your move. | |
| Fuses Fuses themselves do NOT affect sound.The corrosion which may have occurred in their seats MAY do. Cleaning those may have reduced the series resistance in the mains circuit, hence leading to a better performance. |
