| Left Channel Blues This is a tube amp. You should always suspect a bad tube first when the gremlins visit. Lots of options for swapping components. I'd probably just swap left and right channel tubes. If the problem moves, then it is a tube. I'd then swap tubes... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers Thanks @thyname I was looking quickly this morning before I left the house for my hike. I'll probably go GHz soon. The cable company says I'll need an upgraded modem. Maybe if I go Ghz and then if I don't see the benefit go back to 300Mhz, I'... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @lalitk thanks for your reply. I don’t see in the literature any reference to streaming rates. It is an Innuos Zenith MK3, nearly new, so I assume it will support GHz streaming. Jerry | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers I have 300MBS internet. I can upgrade to 500 for $240/yr or 1g for $480/yr. everything I read says 300 is more than enough. I stream music, an occasional 4k movie, and normal computer use. I use Microsoft teams for meetings and don’t game. My aud... | |
| Does It Hurt.... more botness. | |
| Question about Shunyata Power Conditioners @rhg3 You've got the right idea plugging your amp directly into the wall. I wish more people would try it. OTOH, I've bought a couple of amps checp beccause people were providing them inadequate power. but any time you add a power conditioner, ... | |
| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? @recklesskelly size does matter (in this case). going to a 10 awg power cable, even a generic one from china, will get you most of the way there. | |
| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? @secretguy the cable from your transformer to your home is generally at lest 4 awg copper but usually 2, 1 or even 1/0 gauge. What do you propose upgrading it to? It is several times larger than anything we plan to run to our system. Sometimes ... | |
| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? So do those in this thread who think power cables make no difference use 18 gauge lampcord to power their amps? https://www.cablesandkits.com/power/power-cords/nema-5-15p/18-awg-6-ft-black/pro-1748/?utm_campaign=(ROI)+Smart+Shopping+-+Big+4+-+Eth... | |
| We are being flooded by headphone ads We had the same thing for a while with audioengine speakers. I think it is subliminal advertising, probably by bots. AI has arrived. PS thanks for pointing it out. I'll quit answering them. | |
| Audio Research Saved! Adding more cash to a failing business will just delay the ineveitable unless changes are made. | |
| Certain frequencies hurt Not an expert but your headphones are probably enough load to keep your transformers from being damaged but I'm not sure. The Senns are listed a 300 ohm which is kindo high. The Hifiman are 50 ohm which should keep your amp happy. I'd be tryin... | |
| Pass INT-25 better than Wilsenton R8? Two totally different amps with totally different sounds. Yes, the Pass is a much better amp. However, I interpret what you say as a clear indication that you like tube amps better. sell the pass and buy an $8000 tube amp and you will be much... | |
| Taylor Swift Concert Prices I am disappointed with the current trend that those who don't work are so quick to spend money that someone else earned. they didn't decide to spend $2k in a vacuum. all their friends are doing it. Not surprisingly, few breadwinners are. Jerry | |
| Chord M-Scaler burn-in advice/input welcomed If ASR hates it, it must be good. Excellent contrarian indicator. I assume you are wired but I’m surprised how many people are trying to stream wirelessly. I first tried the m-scaler with my DAVE while wireless (trying to figure out how to get a ... |
