what is more popular silver or black face plates Definitely agree with @jwei's recall that it is cyclical. In the UK, I would say that at the moment 'premium' comes in silver; 20 years ago, it was black (and 20 years earlier, it was again silver). Personally, don't care. I have a mixture, depen... | |
Sound quality The reverse is certainly true: a poor recording can turn even a good performance into a bad listening experience. The 'direct' way, possibly. Some performances are so bad that even being there in person, in a good seat, is no redeeming feature; q... | |
Nuisance tripping of AFCI circuit breaker by inrush of current when turning on amplifiers I’m not competent to advise on Canadian electrical requirements, but there is something in how you describe the thing that leaves me puzzled. I assume you have plugged the two amps into the PS-1250, but you are still switching them on manually an... | |
Things we cannot be bothered by anymore Endless discussions on cables (power and signal, both) | |
First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @noelpastor 👍 | |
First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @noelpastor My previous DAC is (was) a very old one, by a small British maker: LFD DAC3. This said, I compared it to a Chord Hugo TT2 in my system, and it very much held its ground. On the maintenance/support - totally share the concern, and this... | |
soft dome versus hard dome tweeters FWIW, and bear in mind that this is one person with two pairs of speakers which - by the standards of some here - are probably classed as "not good", I would agree that hard-dome tweeters are 'harder-sounding' than soft-dome ones, but I would not ... | |
Class A bias, speaker sensitivity, watts...? Just music. "Turn turn the volume up slowly until you measure 2.83 V AC at the speaker input" as in the speaker terminals on the speaker? Or should it be at the speaker tap on the amp? Measuring true RMS voltage with musical signal is generally... | |
First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @noelpastor FWIW, searching for ’Gustard’ and ’Musetec’ on the forum comes up with a few posts/threads where comparison of A26/X26 and 005 are made. FWIW 2 - I just got a 006 10 days ago; still in burn-in period, but I'm very happy with the choic... | |
Class A bias, speaker sensitivity, watts...? Take away another 6 dB for doubling the distance. Were you doing the test with a pure tone input, or listening to music? | |
Woodstock 1969, or 1967? As they say, opinions are like a_ _h _ _ _ s. Everyone has one. ...and nobody wants to be forced to hear anybody else's, especially if loud. | |
more power The 607 has pre-outs for all audio channels, so you should be able to add external amplification to both front and rear channels if you want, effectively using the receiver as pre-amp only (or as power amp for surround channels only). If you stil... | |
BS meter is pegged! @p05129 The choice of "Turbo" (or "Turbo S") by Porsche is not meant to reflect anything other than ’higher performance’. Other Taycan models have overboost when using launch control; most combustion engine-powered Porsches have an actual turbo, b... | |
First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship Musetec 006 arrived this afternoon from official (?) German/European importer. It definitely needs breaking in; not unpleasant, but 'edgy' at the moment. Thanks all for the advice. | |
Question about high current amps versus "not high current amps" Uhm - Ohm’s law applies regardless (or its generalisation using impedance). It’s just that at some point the internal impedance of the generator (amp or battery) becomes relevant and has to be included into the circuit being analysed explicitly, r... |
