I think you're speculating here. What you state is not consistent with the market research these periodicals have published. | |
| Why Single-Ended? perazzi28Home audio, especially 2 channel systems with analog being the primary source will rarely benefit from balanced connections. Adding balanced operation in this scenario will only add more circuitry with no real benefit and likely have... | |
| Feedback through turntable perazzi28Some woofer pumping will be present as a good preamp will have frequency response near DC.This is mistaken. If the cartridge is properly matched to the arm, and if the rest of the phone system is properly set up, there should be no woofe... | |
| Resale value of new speakers jperry0For replacement cost insurance the insurance company will offer you a settlement amount, but will reimburse more (up to the cost of a new item) assuming you replace it. I have seen this happen.That's exactly how replacement cost insura... | |
| Insane ground loop; anybody wanna try? +1 to what Al sez. ^^^^^^^^^also: No dimmers, LEDs, TVs on the same circuit. These devices can leak noise to neutral and ground, which are bonded together at your service panel. You'll want to defeat those devices to make sure they're not contri... | |
| Insane ground loop; anybody wanna try? Very puzzling!Have you tried your preamp in another system to ascertain that it's not a problem with it?Lifting grounds is a good diagnostic tool - obviously it's not a safe remedy - and if that doesn't cure the hum, then it's likely the hum is ca... | |

| Which sounds best, 120 volts, or 240 volts? folkfreak2@cleeds I presumed @joeylawn36111 meant the case of a component designed for dual voltage operation (or switchable between the two) in which case for a given power draw the current will halve as the voltage doubles. Sorry, you are mi... | |
| Which sounds best, 120 volts, or 240 volts? joeylawn36111... the main difference is that 220V device uses half the current a similar 110V one would.Sorry, but this is mistaken. You're confusing current with voltage. All other things being equal, a given amplifier will draw the same amou... | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings hk_fan... Class-D is not the end all be all for subs. They're used in subs because they are cheap and can put out lots of power ...Agreed! There's no question that when it comes to size, weight, price and power consumption, it's tough to top C... | |
