| Too powerful of an amp!? Just don't trade quality for power, which often happens. Most of the time, even with your less sensitive speakers, you'll be listening under 25 wpc--maybe even under 5 wpc. I'd recommend spending your money to get the best amp you can get and if... | |
| The SHOW Costa Mesa - Anybody go? I was there Friday and saturday. It was interesting to me how much things changed from Friday to Saturday. On friday, I found two rooms that I thought were pretty good--Von Sweikert (sp) and Magico. On saturday the magico room was playing techno d... | |
| Triode Wire Labs or NRG Custom The Five for my 300b SET tube amp? Plug directly into the wall and compare to evaluate your current power cable. I have seen some pretty bad Morrow audio power cables. your 300b needs a good ready current supply for dynamics. A cheap generic 10 awg cable will probably get you ... | |
| Amp power output in relation to impedance change My amp putts out it's full 2 watts per channel into either 4 or 8 ohms. Take that. | |
| So many YouTube clips to evaluate sound quality. Why??? They all sound like the tiny speakers on my laptop...can't figure out why. I have no problem with them posting them and people watching them. Jerry | |
| Furetech power cable and shielding Connect the wall plug end only is the traditional advice. the other end is attached to the wall plug through the ground wire in the cable so there isn't really much difference. Probably not a problem attaching both ends. but during some theor... | |
| Google ads are rampant on the site I think the key to your post is "just today, I noticed..." they are not new. | |
| Question re: Aurender N20 Server, Qobuz album takes 10-15 seconds to start playing Take the switch out of the internet feed and try it as a test. I have had roon lock up issues that seem to have gone away when I switched switches. Jerry | |
| Ethernet Switch- what's the point? @zavato You asked a good question and got good answers. Unfortunately it is up to you to sort the good answers from the misinformation....which is the key to success on the internet. | |
| DFW folks - anyone have these speakers I could listen to? The Tannoy GR room at the LA show yesterday was the worst room of show yesterday at LA. Going back today. I'll stop in and see if they got it worked out at all. Jerry | |
| 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. |
