| Detecting “Dirty” Power The Humdinger fixes transformer hum. You said the hum was near the tubes. If that is the case, it will not fix it. | |
| Dedicated AC line - Contractor wants to use BX instead of romex Considering that pretty much every state has as law the National Electrical Code, what place where laws don’t matter do you live? Cities often take these things more seriously because fires don't just take out one house, they can take out a whole... | |
| Leaky capacitors need replacement? If this is truly a DC blocking capacitor for a power amplifier, then those capacitors are grossly under-rated for ripple current. That would lead to premature failure. | |
| Speakers The single most critical component rspyder89 posts04-26-2021 6:24pmI think the speaker is the last piece in the audio upgrade path for two reasons:- It is literally at the end of the actual signal path.- Based on my experience and other hobbyists I respect, virtually every relat... | |
| Speakers The single most critical component The first question I will ask is why you are so insistent that a full range driver is the ultimate in reproduction. When we look at psychoacoustics, brain operation, I don't think there is a good justification for it.The concept of time alignment ... | |
| Does a Tube Dac make sense? charles1dad7,711 posts04-26-2021 1:47pmUnderstood,Some listeners will say they can not hear a difference, with the same DACs other listeners can easily perceive sonic differences. This shouldn’t be surprising as a fairly wide spectrum exists as to... | |
| Benefits of adding a 10MHz Master Clock to a digital system No your ears don't tell you anything. Your brain does, and your brain is susceptible to mood and bias. I don't have theories, I have knowledge coupled with experience. I understand that offends some people. It negates their feelings of being speci... | |
| Lightning and electronics and my Macbook Air To understand lighting / surge protection, you have to think of the path from outside your house all the way to equipment.Whole home surge protection is an excellent idea and one I have myself. They can withstand very large event. Not a direct hit... | |
| By far, my most significant system upgrade! Why would I try them out. I know how they will perform. I know that can be hard to comprehend, but I am sure you have expertise in an area that lets you state things off the top of your head that may not be obvious to others. The rules of physics ... | |
| Benefits of adding a 10MHz Master Clock to a digital system riaa,If you are so wealthy why are you not on a beach somewhere instead of instilling your wisdom? Your call to authority is laughable as is your personal attack to deflect from the fact you have no idea how this stuff works.Because you have no i... | |
| Dedicated AC line - Contractor wants to use BX instead of romex jea48, aluminum or steel clad? | |
| Please Educate Me paul6001 OP50 posts02-24-2021 5:03pmI can’t help but notice that when Paul McGowan raises the exact same point that I did in my original post—100 replies ago—no one makes fun of him, no one mocks him, no one feels the need to attack. Maybe Audiogo... | |
| Benefits of adding a 10MHz Master Clock to a digital system Look at riaa ....Never designed any electronics. Does not know how a master clock interacts with electronics. Is told by the experts in making DACs\Players that a master clock not only is not beneficial, but is detrimental, but .....Thinks he know... | |
| Cat Scratch Fever? pesky, may want to clarify that by "grab the bull by the horns" you mean get vaccinated, at least that is what i think. | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? kevn32 posts04-26-2021 8:37amdjones51/ dletch2 - I think I have finally figured out where the dogma lies, and it is silly for us to go on about it. You both believe that all the complexities of timbre can be measured definitively in their passage ... |
