Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? Just to be clear. there is never enough current in an interconnect to heat it up and change its electrical properties. Same with speaker wires unless they are drastically undersized. Thermal changes with power are much more likely to occur in y... | |

Prioritizing Power Cable Upgrades by System Component. @imaninatural Yes power amp first. Then I would make sure all my other cords are at least 14 gauge. A name brand (Tripp lite) 14 ga power cord on Amazon is $11. So in my system the DAC is the most important component sound wise. My system ge... | |
Prioritizing Power Cable Upgrades by System Component. once again I'm going to disagree with a lot of members here but there are members here who agree with me. Some are actually on the other side of my belief here. I will say that I've got a much better understanding of the phsics behind electrici... | |
Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? I think my 150lb speakers and umpteen voice coils are not heating up with my 10 wpc amp running at 1/3 power. Efficient speakers and low power amps is my preference. That said, a well designed speaker that runs on much higher current should have... | |
Power Amp & Integrate Amp I see you just joined. Home theatre isn't a strength here. Maybe someone will be able to answer you but you'll also get some misinformation. You'll probably do better in an HT forum. | |
Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! @rodman99999 for a speaker cable or interconnect to "burn it" the copper (or silver) in it must change with time with this small current flowing throught it. That is all I was saying. I left room in my post for semiconductors and SS amps to burn ... | |
Streamer vs renderer vs music server...help @mgrif104 Thanks for politely posting the other side of the argument. One can often get flamed around here. --Jerry | |
Streamer vs renderer vs music server...help Human Machine Interface. | |
Streamer vs renderer vs music server...help My nuc is connected to my dac via USB. I use a short, point to point soldered connection cable, but nothing elaborate...ones an zeros. My core NUC is beside my router with another short cable. | |
Streamer vs renderer vs music server...help Here is something that many won't agree with. But digital is a bunch of 1's and 0s. There is no real sound quality to be gained with digital beyond making sure you don't drop any bits and you don't have speed and timing issues. (Flame suit on).... | |
Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! I’m not going to say there is no such thing as "burn in" but there is no physics that says a copper wire will change with low levels of current flowing through it for 300 hours. Hot things, such as tubes, will certainly change. Anything that glows... | |
Tamper Resistant Duplex Outlets On the question of what happens when you move....unless you just bought a new home, your house does not have tamper resistant outlets. There is no requirement to backfit. It is very unlikely an inspector will conclude that your audio outlet was ... | |
Power Cables and Wall Sockets If you amp is causing lights to dim you have an extreme power problem. If the lights are dimming significantly, the circuit is overloaded, the breaker should be tripping. The circuit is overloaded. There is an increased fire risk. Jerry | |
Tamper Resistant Duplex Outlets Hmmm. I just installed my own circuit. ignored the tamper resistant issue. Fyi, most outlets on the shelf at home depot are not yet tamper resistant. I would just let my electrician install the cheapest outlet he offers and then after he leaves, r... |
