| Denon Mono block amp running hotter than the other Before sending both amps in to find out which one is correctly biased and which is not, consider this.They may be biased the same, but one has to work harder than the other. Could be for many reasons, but before we go there, just swap the amps wit... | |
| DAC vs. New CDP Yep, all great advise so far. I'd say go with the DAC due to flexibility. Buy it from somewhere you can return it if you don't like what it does to the sound of your CDP or you don't think it's worth the money (for the change in sound).If you real... | |
| Thinking of moving to a Headphone system, thoughts I couldn't hang with a headphone only system. Even in urban areas there are the suburbs where you can listen to music in the privacy of your own home.That said, I'd propose a compromise: down size to a 2.0 or 2.1 system with a quality integrated. ... | |
| who needs a cd player anymore LPs are obsolete. There is a very small niche market - and this site is where you'll find it's defenders. But LPs are absolutely obsolete. So are tubes for most applications. Add VHS, cassette players, 8-tracks, BetaMax, Super8, & reel to reel... | |
| who needs a cd player anymore I listen to my 2 CDPs almost every day. One is for Redbook and one is for SACD. I've considered music servers, hooking up an iPod (all three of my kids have one). My house is fully wired for a gigabit backbone. But really don't have the desire for... | |
| KEF 104.2 and B&K ST-202 Yep, there is a pair on eBay for $520 as is. | |
| Potentially Dumb CD Burning Question I stand corrected, Diskwelder looks like a great product. Sure wish there was such a thing for SACD.Thanks Ghost. | |
| "Watts" Versus "Current" One last analogy that helps understand voltage vs current is that of water pressure (voltage) and flow (current). Think of a great big water reservoir up on top of a mountain and you're at the base of the mountain (yes, this is your power supply :... | |
| Ethernet cable/router upgrade? I've been in the enterprise switch and router business for over 15 years. I've performed and had performed 100s of throughput, latency, and stress tests for shipping product to paying customers. Never, not once, has a poor result been blamed on a ... | |
| Shorting Plugs and Non-shorting Plugs - Wothwhile? If the pre-amp hums with nothing else plugged into it (except headphones), then you probably have a leaky capacitor in the power supply.The only other thing I can think of is that you're equipment is right next to an extremely high level of EMI or... | |
| "Watts" Versus "Current" Watts = Current * VoltageWatts = Power = WCurrent = Amps = A (current is similar to water flow)Voltage = Volts = V (voltage is similar to water pressure)So you can see that both current and voltage are important in making up a power/watts rating. ... | |
| Advice Moving from Tube Integrated Second Musical Fidelity as they are committed to building quality integrated amplifiers. New or used they all get great reviews. | |
| Potentially Dumb CD Burning Question You can put any type of encoded file format (FLAC, MP3, WAV, etc) on any physical media (CD, DVD, Flash Drive, Hard Drive). The question then is: do I have the equipment to a) read the physical media and b) decode the file format.Note that standar... | |
| How important is EMI and RFI rejection? Looking forward to hearing how these changes work out or you. One correction though - good grounding is not a tweak. It is the foundation on which every great system is be built. |
