| Speaker Efficiency I'm thinking that unless the room is huge, 80 db in the listening chair is nowhere near full crank. | |
| Clayton Shaw Acoustic Lab's Caladan open-baffle speaker ($3295/pair). Must be the flavour-of-the-month at stereophile. This is about the 4th thread on this speaker. | |
| Speaker Efficiency People who believe everything they read will tell you it won’t work. Of course they love to read manufacturers literature where the OEMs have to satisfy every customer including the teenager who wants to play at 130dB. If you listen at 80 dB, you... | |
| Coax SP/DIF to USB..thoughts? You'll get past your resistance to replace the DAC much sooner than you think. | |
| How long does it take your tube amp to warm up? 60 to 90.......................seconds. | |
| Need help with a fuse Look at the watts on the name plate. Divide watts by 120 to get amps. It will likely on a headphone amp be less then 1 amp. Multiply by 2 or 3 and that will be a good size fuse. I'd use 3, many would use 2. Jerry | |
| Is ethernet output a possibility for the Innuos Zen MK3 My Innuos Zenith MK3 has 2 ethernet ports marked "LAN" and "Streamer". I think I accidentally plugged my line from the router into both of them and it worked both ways. I assume this is just a switch so you can daisy chain LAN. I don't think it... | |
| Caladan Rumors and Insights For others who may have to google it, Caladans are speakers. | |
| Have you asked yourself this question? Since I don't have an analog system, it is much easier to decide not to acquire one. Listening to other people's audio system, I don't get the urge to get one, perhaps because I am accustomed to digital sound. But IMHO, I don't find analog sup... | |
| Hearing other appliances in dedicated line My guess is the noise is not coming through the power line but electromagnetic. Like I say, that is a guess. A dedicated line becomes common with all other circuits at the breaker box so it could be coming through the power line. If you said ... | |
| PayPal imposed draconian security blocks AFTER I sold my unit What is downside of paypal calling you a business>? | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please @jacobsdad2000 That's not an amp I would ever own so I guess I can't comment. Can you even trace your signal path? | |
| AES/EBU balanced XLR digital transmission vs. coax and I2S What @soix said. It also depends on your cables. One advantage to AES/EBU is that quality cables are availble. Machine made cables like I2S and USB are less available in high quality. There is no difference in sould based just on the connecto... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please @jacobsdad2000 Fuses limit power changes since they must have a small resistance. This generally isn't a problem is the load is fixed. So I'm not very concerned about fuses in the DAC. I would be concerned about that many fuses in a tube amp. ... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please Sorry the OEM was so generous with fuses in your components. these fuses are designed to protect components and minimize warranty claims. I guarantee they were not put there by the sound engineers. These are the types of fuses you are very safe... |
