| How do I discharge the capacitors in my PS audio P20 ? bmbmzig Power down. Unplug from the wall, turn power switch back on. This should drain any residual charge left on any power supply caps. No. That will recharge the capacitors. | |
| Power cable for Ferrum Hypsos steakster If he wasn’t taught it, if he doesn’t understand it, if he doesn’t believe it – then it doesn’t exist. There are actually many people who suffer from this. I cannot imagine going through life this way. | |
| Power cable for Ferrum Hypsos jasonbourne71 Like religious fundamentalists ... What's with all the prejudicial remarks about religion here recently? Please stop it. | |
| How do I discharge the capacitors in my PS audio P20 ? The capacitors should be discharged to ground. You don't use a multimeter for that, other than perhaps to test the caps for voltage afterwards to confirm discharge. | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? audioisnobiggie Most listeners choose to support the artists who are di-khead ni--er criminals who expect everyone else except for the bitches to make them care about them. You've got a problem, dude. | |
| Half-Speed Masters - are they worth double dipping? mahler123 Vinyl adoration is a religion. Like all religions its worshippers are impervious to reason. I'm not seeing any "vinyl adoration" going on here. There do seem to be some who are troubled by the LP's resilience, though. As for religio... | |
| Half-Speed Masters - are they worth double dipping? 8th-note Half-Speed Mastering by itself does not increase the dynamic range (DR) of a vinyl record. Of course not. It’s just a manufacturing process. The same is true of CD - a CD itself is no guarantee of dynamic range. I have never see... | |
| What is the lowest voltage acceptable ? This is governed by your state’s utility regulatory agency, such as a Board of Public Utilities. My state respects the ANSI C84.1 guideline, which calls for a ± 5 percent regulation of the nominal 120VAC service, or 114 volts minimum. | |
| Looking for RCA cables from preamp to amp? hsbrock ... From the research I can do, copper has higher/better conductivity than gold, silver, or aluminum ... Silver has higher conductivity (lower resistance) than copper, gold or aluminum. What is better than pure copper? Define "... | |
| Half-Speed Masters - are they worth double dipping? mahler123 I don’t know of any compression in my several thousand CD collection. That's because the compression was well applied. What labels do you prefer for classical? It is the exceptionally rare commercial recording that does not have at l... | |
| Vibration Control Here's some reading for you: Isolation footers for amps Isolation for DAC/Class D Power Amp DAC Vibrations? vibration control Weights on top of equipment to dampen vibration What isolation feet under your amp with great result? | |
| Half-Speed Masters - are they worth double dipping? mahler123 CDs will always beat LPs for dynamic range because they eliminate the noise floor. CDs have a noise floor too, and most are compressed. Some are compressed more than an LP counterpart and I offered two documented examples of that... | |
| Issue with Audio Research 5SE Preamp pinwa Switching out the 6550 sounds like a good place to start. The tubes have 1670 hours on them. I am actually using 6N6P tubes instead of the 6H30 tubes that are standard. Those 6N6P tubes are almost certainly your problem, especially ... | |
| Issue with Audio Research 5SE Preamp Sounds like a bad 6550 or the 6H30 rectifier in the Ref 5. | |
| Half-Speed Masters - are they worth double dipping? mahler123 i don’t know where the ridiculous notion started that vinyl has a greater dynamic range than digital. Numerous studies show otherwise. Actually, the data show that - in practice - an LP often has wider DR than its comparable CD count... |
