| New Power Cable on a 1990 Hafler DH120? Does it have an IEC connector? If so, it is Easy to start with a generic one off ebay for less than $50 and see if you hear a difference. read the fine print to make sure it is 10ga. I like the woven GR research cable. I think just about all amp... | |
| Resistors I think I responded similarly to another poster a while back and was told this is a recommended PM by wilson. | |
| Best Remote for Roon Nucleus+ Yes. Windows. I didn't know chrome os doesn't work. My galaxy tab A tablet works fine. --Jerry | |
| Best Remote for Roon Nucleus+ I use my laptop because I have it on my lap most of the time anyway. I also have a samsung tablet that probably is a little more friendly. --Jerry | |
| Class-A Amplification and 15 Amp Outlet @noske Just to be clear, I am not suggesting using a lamp cord to power your amp. I use 10ga power cords. I have a dedicated 10ga power circuit to my audio system. My point is that the average power consumption by your amp, mine pulls 400 watts... | |
| Class-A Amplification and 15 Amp Outlet @noske if you think all an amplifier needs is the power to drive the average wattage on the spec sheet, then you can power most amps with a lamp cord. Unfortunately a little knowledge is sometimes a dangerous thing and figuring out that V=IR doe... | |
| Class-A Amplification and 15 Amp Outlet Of course if you believe the simple mathematical explanation above, then you think that expensive large gauge power cords are snake oil. --Jerry | |
| Qobuz/Tidal Differences edcyn, how do you propose that the digital file is modified to provide that change in sound? --Jerry | |
| Qobuz/Tidal Differences Technically I found them to be the same. Catalog, I found more variety on Qobuz. You can find more Rap on Tidal. I got tried of every time I fired up Tidal I got a message "wouldn't you enjoy listening to some JayZ?" (who owns Tidal) when I... | |
| Power Conditioning on the Cheap @elliottbnewcombjr Are you saying you can identify a problem by looking at voltage? If so, please explain how. | |
| Power Conditioning on the Cheap @jayctoy The wisdom power ES seems as close to plugging directly into the wall as you can get. It is wired almost exactly like I wired my my wall boxes (except I consider cryo as snakeoil). It doesn’t surprise me that it sounds better than the old... | |
| A post on AC Voltage Regulators - Why you might want one Why not? First, I'll ask what the output impedance is? Is it going to limit an amplier's response to quick current changes when the music changs? Second, I'd be worried about the total current available to my amp for quick changes. Third, I'd w... | |
| An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality Heard nothing that convinced me to buy a zillion $ power cable. I'm already sold on using a very large gauge power cable. --Jerry | |
| Check this system out! Without hearing it, I think i'd rather have all that money spent on a 30 wpc system. --Jerry | |
| Cable question I say no, so long as both cables are working correctly and not dropping bits. Digital is all 1s and 0s so there is no .98 vs .99 performance. Generally those who tout improved digital performance are trying to sell something and hope you'll co... |
