| Amplifier Hum - Only Amp Connected DC offset should not sound like a hum. You need AC to get sound from speakers. In extreme cases DC offset might push the cone in or out some but the cones will stop there and you won’t hear anything.On the plus side DC offset is easy to troublesho... | |
| Romex to your amp? Electronics and power cords do not need to be UL listed. Certification is an optional process that costs $5,000-15,000 of dollars per model and is only good for 5 years. The only reason large manufacturers do this is because many retailers and con... | |
| Extravagant shipping charge Isn't it funny how you can buy a 55 lb bag of cat-litter on Amazon for cheaper than a pet store and shipping is free? | |
| Furtech Fl-32MR or Qyaide M1 AC/IEC plug ends? Building a coloring box of $200-300 plugs is quite a commitment. Are you planning on swapping them one at a time and use the same wire? That will remove the wire variable but makes it harder to compare the differences back to back. You might ... | |
| Romex to your amp? Daveyf If we take this scenario one step further, and agree ( or not?) that Romex is the material/cable that is the limiting factor in the power supply SQ to our gear ( particularly our amps) then the question becomes how does a different kind ... | |
| SCAM ALERT ON MULTIPLE CRAIGS LISTS - Watch Out! I have never been ripped off on Craiglist and I got more than a few buys of a lifetime. How about a pair of Paradigm studio 40’s with the center and their big sub, with a decent Denon AV receiver and a few hundred retail of monster cables (yea Mon... | |
| Romex to your amp? Dweller.Like I mentioned its not all about the juice. The resistance loss of an additional 6 foot piece of wire of any reasonable gauge and a few plugs is not as important as filtering out the RFA interference.But........If you would take apart th... | |
| Romex to your amp? MillercarbonIs your house wired with 5 nines copper from your private generator? You do know you have 50+ feet of Romex in your walls behind your stereo.The trick to power cords is they filter out some of the high frequency interference. Its not t... | |
| Romex to your amp? Solid copper makes a great power cord. The only reason you won’t find one commercially is that they need to use stranded wire to get UL approved. So cords like this are DIY only. You should be able to improve on the Romex design by taking it apa... | |
| SCAM ALERT ON MULTIPLE CRAIGS LISTS - Watch Out! I am also near Philadelphia and saw the same ad. Wasted a few minutes of my time researching it then realized something was not right. Luckily I didn’t inquire about it.Lets do the world a favor and if you see this ad again hit the flag button. If... | |
| The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance So it appears there is no way to set up a "scientific" test test that will make everyone happy audiophiles will be debating this for the rest of time.............But what about doing something simpler? Just prove to yourself which cable is best fo... | |
| The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance Blumartini I have to say that is a tough one! A blind test 10 times to see what percentage would be that can determine one cable from the other at the above the $50.00 mark? Is your point that $50.00 plus cable will be a negligible or not even at ... | |
| The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance I was just being nice.......I guess Randi was being nice too. If I had a million dollars on the line it would be 99%.Edit: just realized you cant get to 85% correct in ten tries! My bad. | |
| The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance There is too much scientific and controlled double blind study talk here (and I am a scientist). This should be simple. Show me some validated examples where someone can reliably pick between 2 cables costing over $50 (blinded, when someone els... | |
| The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance Cleeds I’ve participated in a few scientifically controlled listening tests. The trials were conducted by real researchers, not self-appointed audio forum experts. They were tedious - something the organizers cautioned about at the start of the... |
