| Help needed with Rattle in my floorstanding speakers. probably a wire routed too close to a bare wall or a driver magnet. take each upper driver out. As you pull it out note the wire routing and look for the source of the rattle. Jerry | |
| Best place to live for good quality power @jaytor Thanks for sharing your data. I too have a PS Audio power plant and enjoy the built in oscilloscope. I've checked my data occasionally over several years and it is always around 4.2% THD. voltage can vary from 114 to 123. I set the o... | |
| Using biwired cables on speakers with only 2 connections the other 2 wires are now antennae. 1. hook them both to the terminal, 2 blacks and 2 reds. 2. run them parallel to each other and very tightly spaced so they don't create a loop. BTW, biwire is a waste of time. Jerry | |
| Best place to live for good quality power @nevada_matt the quality of your power with off grid solar is totally dependent on the inverter that the mass produced solar company provided. Not likely good. Jerry | |
| Best place to live for good quality power 2c on transformers: a transformer induces a voltage in the secondary that theoreticaly exactly matches the primary. So the secondary is just as noisy as the primary. Jerry | |
| Best place to live for good quality power Most people have no way of answering this question. Here is what my power looks like in a scope: https://photos.app.goo.gl/kxPz87c8iEVoRxTd7 4.2% THD. I live in a suburb of San Diego. Near a substation, mix of residential and industrial users... | |
| Power cable from wall socket to power strip lots of misunderstanding in this area. 1. Power cannot be "cleaned". it isn't just a nice sine wave with some noise the can be "filtered" out. the sine wave coming into your house looks like crap. Here is a link to a photo of a scope of the... | |
| For Innuos owners I've always operated my streamer that way. I'm not going to go look but I thought the manual even suggested this. I never touch the power switch in the back unless I'm moving it or rewiring something. The remote is kept in a drawer and I don't ... | |
| Is it possible a 20 amp outlet can make a big difference in SQ? @steakster I'm sure I could never impress someone who already knows it all. | |
| How much hum is normal from a new tube amp Is hum from the transformer or from the speakers? Speaker hum is generally from AC heaters and low level is often considered acceptable. Hum from transformers is a different story. power transformer, not output transformer. There are many thre... | |
| Leaving my amplifier on ok? Also, I never leave the house with a tube amp on. | |
| Is it possible a 20 amp outlet can make a big difference in SQ? @steakster You mistake the difference between electrical safety and audiophile sound. for example, the push in stabs are not going to give you audiophile sound with a point contact but they won't get hot or burn the house down. | |
| This e-mail has been cryogenically treated @fredrik222 As a physicist I may have some experience with Data. one of the first things a scientist has to figure out is the difference between good data and bad data. you would benefit from improvement of this skill but is is generally difficu... | |
| Leaving my amplifier on ok? Heat kills. No for class A amps. | |
| This e-mail has been cryogenically treated @fredrik222 It must be true. It was on the internet. |
