| Share your ‘I MacGyver’d it’ solutions I used to be MacGyver--my friends even call me that. And I am still full of clever solutions. But I now have my own machine shop and I do things professionally rather than with paperclips and gum. Jerry | |
| What should be mandatory in every professional published review- Telling people what they have to write doen't ring true with me. An unintended consequence of the internet is that people have figured out how to use it to poison competitors and pump up their own equipment, often in the form of "reviews". Unf... | |

| Packing & Shipping Large/Heavy Speakers "simply crating" isn't so simple. Still have to be protected and fastened right. make sure to use softeners on the corners where you fasten it down unless you use clear wrap. | |
| Are advances in technology making speakers better? If you are confused and thinking you should probably upgrade without really knowing why, then the marketing compaies are earning their money. Jerry | |
| FUSE Question...Very Confused Please Help ! Sounds to me like it wants you to use a different sized fuze when you switch to 110 v. This makes sense since for the same power, current doubles. Voltage is pretty much irrelevant on a fuse so you can still use a 250v fuse in a 110 system and in... | |

I evaluate supply and demand and determine how much I’m willing to move on offers. When buying, I often make polite offers. Those who are offended by offers are generally:... | |
| Figure 8 ('Infinity') Power cord You should be able to find at least 14 awg. The proper name for that connector escapes me but find the proper name and that will help your search. Jerry | |
| Balanced vs. Single Ended Interconnects One reason why many prefer rca is that there are many more quality cables available. That is a very nice amp and you will benefit from a pair of high quality interconnects. there is absolutely no reason to go balanced on a short run. Jerry | |
| Linear Power Supply for a DAC I have a Farad power supply being delivered from the Netherlands tomorrow for my Chord Dave DAC. Thier prices include shipping but they aren't cheap. Dave uses 3 voltages so I had to buy 3 power supplies plus a custom harness than Farad makes. ... | |
| Which power cords have high resolutions and separation?? I am a big believer in providing an adequate power cable. I've seen a 14 lb, 8 wpc Sophia Baby tube amp suffereing from inadequate power cable using a generic 14 awg cable. I slapped a generic 10 awg cable on it and it bloomed. But cables aren'... | |
| 1099 reporting with Zelle If so, my my college son would be getting a 1099 for the money I send him for college expenses. Paypal friends and family also does not send a 1099. Jerry | |
| What’s on Your Radar for Black Friday/Digital Monday? If you are running your system on wifi, you'd be better off shopping for an ethernet cable long enough to run it on hardwire. DAMHIK. | |
| New Dennis Had amps I wonder if he has a protege doing the buliding and he is having fun designing. |
