| I think some cables are just a little too expensive. It is like buying a Rolex with emerald studs. Does it keep the time any better than a $10 Casio ? Nope. Nuf said.... | |
| Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms? invalid,Of course you can get more power. It is ludicrous to think otherwise. An amp is like (bit of an exaggeration to get the point across) your mains amplifying a 60 Hz signal. If you connect a 120 ohm load to mains, you will get 120 watts, ... | |
| Honest question about cartridge vs. turntable performance. As long as your turntable has the following figures:rumble < 75 - 78 db,wow & flutter as low as possible,speed stability better than about 1%and as long as your tonearm effective mass is a good match for your cartridge,here are the approxim... | |
| Looking for a speaker cable with a relaxed sound. Just get a 10 gauge pure copper multistrand wire with low capacitance and you are set. There is no such thing as a 'relaxed sound' speaker wire. | |
| Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms? invalid,Here are some amps (more like welding machines) that can do double the power:D'agostino Relentless.Pass labs, almost all their amps.Boulder 3050 monoblock,and there are more...... | |
| Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms? atmasphere,You are right in saying that the internal impedance of an amplifier must be way less than the speaker impedance, in order to deliver power indirectly proportional to the speaker impedance. I took that as a given, since that is the case ... | |
| Explain what is a clean power amplifier? Here is an ideal amp (100% perfection):1) zero distortion.2) zero noise.3) No phase shift at any frequency.4) Perfect square wave response.5) Instant and unlimited current source.The above is a 'clean' amplifier. Everyone tries to achieve it, som... | |
| Fuses and confusion Has your fuse blown ?If so, it is important to investigate the reason why. When you replace it, make sure it is the correct rating unless you want to make your insurance company happy not paying you for a fire that you may have caused by tamperin... | |
| Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms? Ideally, a power amp should be able to deliver twice as much power at half the impedance. The way it can achieve this is if:1) Its power supply can meet the demand (probably the most important criteria).2) Its output stage/heatsinks are designed t... | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? Coz it is mostly snake oil. | |
| Ethernet cable question cat5 is good for about up to 300 feet at 1 Gb/sec. You have no worries. | |
| Subwoofer Suggestion Try HSU research. You cannot beat them for value/quality. | |
| Why are there so many wooden speakers? 1) MDF is cheap (er) than many alternatives.2) MDF is a relatively good, machinable material. You can easily drill it and screw into it.3) It is lighter than any metal.That is basically it. | |
| Guidance on Speaker Wire That is a very long run......1) Choose a wire at most 8 gauge, not any more. Basically the idea is to reduce the resistance. The thicker the wire (lower the gauge), the less its resistance. The resistive contribution of the wire should be no mo... | |
| can i recreate the sound of vinyl by encoding the vinyl frequencies onto digital audio? Of course.You can digitize all sounds. Especially the sounds in the audio range.Typically sampling at 44khz (CD quality) is good enuf. If you want to be really picky and claim you can hear above the normal human range of hearing, then sample at a ... |
