| Point to Point vs Circuit Board Point to point wiring is absolutely necessary for designers who cannot design a decent circuit board. I was lucky. My designer was a NASA rocket scientist who helped with both the moon landing (Apollo 5) and Voyager missions. His circuit boards... | |
| Full range speaker for rogue 90 or 100 wpc amp. Will you be adding tweeters and woofers to the "Full Range" monstrosity? | |
| surround processor? For general principles, stay away from Lexicon. Thy buy other stuff and re-box it for a much higher price: Literally! They took a $500 OPPO and put the whole thing, cabinet and all, into a pretty aluminum case, then charged $2500 for it. | |
| One box do it all It would be fascinating to see how the four 500 watt transformers, the eight 26,000 mf filter caps, the heart sinks, etc get stuffed into a single cabinet, along with the sub and main preamps and tuners, and CD, and TT, and.... | |
| How long does Class A have? As we die off, our heirs will throw our prized systems in the rental dumpsters. I retrieved a lot of things my sisters threw away. They will trash my stuff, unless I donate it to, maybe, a theater, which will quickly destroy it from ignoranc... | |
| Audio deals you bought that seem impossible for the price? No one is losing money. High end audio is typically priced at 6 times manufacturing cost. This is how nice ole homey Paul of PS audio can afford to give MSRP in trade for your old stuff: Assuming he sells at the standard of 600% of cost to ... | |
| Magico A3 price increases 50%+ stereo5 We are all brought up to love the taste of animal fat, precisely because of conditioning. Yes, a part of this conditioning is our fatty diet, but many studies show that pricing affects the perception of quality, even when the items are r... | |
| Magico A3 price increases 50%+ The Veblen effect is also called the OREO effect, because when the inventor of this cookie, Hydrox saw the efect on sales, the price was lowered. To counter, OREO raised its price to make Hydrox seem less valuable. Hydrox has no animal fa... | |
| Balls..... I upgraded my TT ball bearings, not with ceramics, but with Mobile 1: Amazing lack of rotating resistance. You ceramic ball users should try it. | |
| High Quality dac with network streamer saves $1,000s This is a serious question about streamers: What can you listen to that does not use a general purpose algorhythm that sends you a decreasingly good selection of the most popular, general listening top tunes from each genre? I have had no l... | |
| What is wrong with my system? Build some good subs out of some old cabinets, then get a good preamp and amp to control them separately. It works for my older 803's. B&W tends to sacrifice bass output for accuracy. Your speakers are great, but B&W also prices th... | |
| TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS jjs49 "Lambo"? Before you know it, you could be driving a Rabbit! | |
| FUSES, Finally!? I had even previously posted that 15 and 20 amp breakers trip at 12 and 16 amps, but my approaching senility won out. | |
| FUSES, Finally!? Thank You for the correction. I had meant to look that up before posting, and forgot. | |
| FUSES, Finally!? Wow! no wonder some of you need better fuses, with one per piece of electronics. How is that even possible? One per channel would seem to be a minimum, which I hope you actually mean. My amps have 4 each, two per isolated channel, for a me... |
