| Rogue Audio hard to resell, has it fallen out of favor ? I have something listed. You want to hear about it? Jerry | |
| I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming There may be other options but this thread is about modems. | |
| I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming I've been having internet issues for the past year. My sound system is hardwried using an audiophile switch and I have little to no problem with it. but elsewhere in the house wireless has been bad. I've upgraded my mesh system twice, first to ... | |
| Recommendation Repair Technician The hardest part of a repair is usually diagnosis. Since you know the failure, buy a bunch of spare parts and learn to install them yourself. then when it blows you'll be back in service 45 minutes later. Jerry | |
| *DAC I've never heard a Gustard but I stepped up early on to a Chord DAVE and indeed it provided the detail, realism and accuracy that you describe. My DAVE will be listed for sale as soon as I get around to it as I have moved to the next level with a... | |
| Western Electric 300 B Vacuum tubes A vacuum is the absence of any vapor. it is invisible. I don't know what you are seeing, and maybe people familiar with this tube can tell you what it is, but I know that normal is to see noting inside but clear nothingness. Jerry | |
| Are there any issues with connecting speaker wire in this manner? @lcherepkai Indeed using 8 ga will certainly make the resistance very low. I'm not saying that it won't work, just suggesting to start with the lower cost metals. Send me the metal and lenth you want to use first and I'll calculate the resistanc... | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums Everyone should study physics (get a degree, not just google it). after evaluating them for an afternoon, I was convinced they were the right answer, pulled the trigger and have been very happy. Jerry | |
| Are there any issues with connecting speaker wire in this manner? @lcherepkai So for slugs, you have a very short piece with a very large diameter. the higher specific resistivity of the other metals your are trying has little effect. However, I think in speaker wires which are much longer and smaller in diame... | |
| Are there any issues with connecting speaker wire in this manner? That is the way electricians wire an outlet when they want to do it best. There are videos on how to do it. make the loop fit tightly on the screw and orient it so that tightening the screw pulls the wire in rather than pushes it out. if done c... | |
| DAC Output Splitter Are you mixing analog RCA with Digital Coax? Are you talking about the input to your DAC or the analog output? | |
| how to transfer vinyl to digital I remember in the late 70s borrowing albums from friends and copying them onto cassette. I was very poor and some of these cassettes got played a thousand times. not what I recommend now but I shared it anyway. Hope not to derail your thread. ... | |
| Static electricity and my Denafrips do not get along @paulcreed You could plug a speaker banana into the ground pin only and don’t bother with the 2 pins that provide power. | |
| Static electricity and my Denafrips do not get along There is a ground in every outlet. Jerry | |
| True 8 Gage banana plugs Use naked BFA style. they will take full diameter and make better connection with your female binding post. That is all I use. https://www.ebay.com/itm/385088881625 Use 2 or 3 layers of heat shrink to make a gripping location. |
