| Hybrid amplifiers Ss/tube, any good? the other hybrid amps I a familiar with, such as pathos, are not parrallel amps but instead a tube input with SS output stage. I listed to the pathos 100 watt, 330 lb monster today at a show and decided it was ore striking visually than sonicly... | |
| Where did the term "mono block" originate? I don't know but I'd guess it is because the mono-amps, being simple 1 channel amps with one input and one output, were generally a simple hexahedron, resembling a block. | |
| Ethernet Switch- what's the point? I've been accused of starting a riot and walking off into the darkness.... | |
| Ethernet Switch- what's the point? @erik_squires I think you nailed it. Converting to digital and back may add more noise than the fiber prevents. We just had to splice a fiber line accidentally cut at our plant, and what a pain. We had $100k worth of special equipment mounted... | |
| Ethernet Switch- what's the point? @fredrik222 I'd say back away from the keyboard, think some calm thoughts, double up on your bp meds and take the rest of the day off. | |
| Ethernet Switch- what's the point? @tonix Thanks for the help and support. I'll remember UDP for the next time I need to explain this. I thought I was the last one to figure this out but this thread shows there are still lots of people who think streaming is bit perfect. -Jerry | |
| Ethernet Switch- what's the point? @fredrik222 You seem to disagree with everything I say. I don't recommend that path. Best of luck, Jerry | |
| Ethernet Switch- what's the point? @p05129 You have demonstrated the exact and most common misunderstanding about streaming. This error even exists among IT professionals. Why? Because what you stated is exactly correct for the applications that you referenced. I used to make th... | |
| Ethernet Switch- what's the point? Many or most people need a switch to run other equipment. A switch is what the ethernet needs to split a signal. If you want to run ethernet to 2 peices of equipment, use a switch. I have other ethernet cables running to my Roon Core, TV, AV re... | |
| Budget AVR Selection for RSL 5.1.4? I opened this to see what you are using an Automatic Voltage Regulator for....oh well. I upgraded years ago from Onkyo to Denon 3700. Highly recommend. | |
| Connecting active subs in stereo and full range stereo speakers to Decware Rachel amp. Only your full range speakers will be driven by your amp. the subs will extract a low level signal to their own amps. I think you can run a single cable to your full range speakers and a short jumper to subs. I am sure that would work but those w... | |
| Broken banana plug and stuck in amplifier not rubbing salt in the wound and hope you get it out soon. It shouldn't be hard to get out with proper tools. I haven't made any recommendations because I don't know your skill level and tool inventory. I want to point out that these inferior ... | |
| Build a Faraday cage around your equipment. Just to be clear, I'm not criticizing you for playing with it. But I learned long ago not to post at this point in my fiddling.... | |
| Build a Faraday cage around your equipment. So you've concluded that there is a problem you need to solve? Jerry | |
| USB Reclocker @ghdprentice why do you think this is so? Is your expesive streamer doing onboard reclocking? Anything else? I haver read lately among innuos fans that some prefer the Zenith Mk3+Phenix USB reclocker+phoenixNET switch over the statement making... |
