| Turntable isolation platform Recommendations? It would help if you told us what kind of turntable you're using and if you're having any issues with it now. Not every turntable in every system will benefit from an isolation platform. | |
| So how much do you think the placebo effect impacts our listening preferences? russ69If there is a placebo effect and I have doubts about that, it is only temporary and will disappear after enough critical evaluation. You can only fool yourself for so long, then reality sets in.Exactly. The placebo effect won't cure canc... | |
| Allison and Snell - Against the Wall I suppose the ultimate "against-the-wall" speaker is an in-wall speaker. There are many to choose from, including multiple options from Martin Logan. | |
| Guys, this is part of the issue I am asking about in my other thread... oldhvymecMost are in the 3-5 amp range slow blow in some, charging caps and bringing transformers up. Valves may have more protection a second fuse fast blow on the bias circuit.Yes. Although it’s unusual, there are amplifiers with larger fuses, i... | |
| Guys, this is part of the issue I am asking about in my other thread... stereoisomerI want/need to buy some 15-20 amp fuses for my B&K amplifiers. These are the kind that fit into the fuse holder on the back and screw in. Once upon a time, these were easy to find. Now, not so much. The fuse has to fit into th... | |
| Total System Gain Question pragmasiInput sensitivity, gain and power output are all related mathematically and you can work out one from the others if you assume a certain loudspeaker impedance.There's no way to calculate power output in watts from the information the ... | |
| Total System Gain Question pragmasiThat’s a lot of gain, works out to around 2500W into 8Ω at full volume. A rule of thumb is that every 6dB of gain doubles the voltage, if you know Ohm’s law you can work out the rest.If you ran a unity gain (0dB) preamp into that powe... | |
| WHAT SONG TOUCHES YOUR HEART THE MOST? ronbocoJim Croce- cats in the cradleThat was Harry Chapin who wrote and sang Cats in the Cradle, not Jim Croce. | |
| Using step up / down transformers? ditusa@cleeds, Remember: Volts/amps.Maybe this will help.@ditusa you are confused. 240VAC is not more efficient than 120VAC. You apparently believe than amperage is a measure of power, which is mistaken.Power is measured in watts. To calculate pow... | |
| Using step up / down transformers? ditusa ... 240 volts, double phase is more efficient then 120 volts, single phase. Maybe ask Jim jea48, about voltage and amperage ...No, 240VAC is not more "efficient." Your equipment will operate at the same efficiency at either 120 VAC or 240V... | |
| Using step up / down transformers? ditusaany transformers on the main AC power lines feeding your audio equipment will degrade sound quality. That is the reason why I run all my audio gear on 240 volts ...Your power went through multiple transformers as part of the electric grid... | |
| Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire? daleberlinAnd we should believe all you audiophiles who tell us there is a difference? Until there is a reputable ABX test done between some cables, I think you are all blowing smoke.I provided you the proof you seek - a very thorough, valid... | |
| Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire? vinyl_rules... I could measure and duplicate the sound of any speaker cable or interconnect currently being marketed as a good sounding wire.I do wonder why no one has done this.Perhaps others have tried and found it is not as easy as you sugges... | |
| Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire? daleberlin“Yes cables can sound incredibly different.” Prove it.No one here owes you any proof. The documentation you seek is actually abundant, but you’ll have to work to find and digest it.Here’s one especially thorough study. Very detailed. Al... | |
| Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire? focker39 ... If speaker cables make a huge difference, and there is a range of cable for each brand, why is it I can’t find a dealer that will take the time to run multiple A/B comparisons within the line they carry ...Perhaps you are at the ... |
