Krell Class A/B power amps, do 'anticipator circuits' work?
Thanks George.Quite.  That's rather what I thought.  Your second para describes exactly the issue I am highlighting. 
Krell Class A/B power amps, do 'anticipator circuits' work?
Thanks for the response.Yes a2d, at the outset Krell said that once raised the higher bias will be held 15 to 20 seconds before it is dropped back if there is no further hi-level signal.But that doesn't answer how the first rise is triggered in ti... 
Can flexible power cables sound good?
Hi everyone.I figured it quickly.  The Second Law of Audio is not to listen to anything millercarbon says.It is well overdue for promotion to First Law.You got the right idea Wolfie, you're just insufficiently obsessed.A solid copper bar 3 inches ... 
Speaker sensitivity vs SQ
We're nearly at the end of this one.Thanks for your post mapman and a couple of others on the same point.A large part of the answer to my question seems to be that efficient speakers cost more to build to the same SQ level in part because need to ...

Speaker sensitivity vs SQ
Thank you nwres, bache, atmasphere for responding to my question.Which was:  If there are such big advantages in high sensitivity speakers why do so many manufacturers build low sensitivity speakers?Thank you jetter for your kind words.To miller: ... 
Balanced vs. Unbalanced Inputs
Hi @glupson, given what atmasphere says about wiring behind the XLRs in many amps, perhaps rather than for convenience, the XLRs are there for show.It seems to me that guys like John Atkinson should report on 'balanced' amps that are not actually ... 
Balanced vs. Unbalanced Inputs
Thank you again atmasphere.Given the haphazard wiring behind the XLRs and non-adherence to AES48 of many amps, I am indeed lucky (just that) to find my system is free from hum and other obvious non-matching artifacts and appears to have a very low... 
Balanced vs. Unbalanced Inputs
Thank you for all the effort in that input @atmasphere and the benefit of your wide knowledge and experience.  It throws much needed light.  I am finding this discussion very interesting as well as informative.A.    If I understand correctly, to s... 
Balanced vs. Unbalanced Inputs
Goodness me.  Opinions here are diametrically opposed on a question that should be straightforward.  The OP says he understands now but if that is the case then he is smarter than I am.I had believed that running phono fully balanced brings a 6dB ...

Noted MC isn't coming in on this.Boing boing! 
Should I use Speaker Spike / Isolation Base or Something?
@stereo5Your speaker will still be wiggling around and muddying the transmission of your sound.Blowing in the wind.@miglik   Your speakers too will be blowing in the wind if you don't couple them to something solid.The issue is to prevent the spea...
