| DAC recommendation in the $1k range I don't know if this remotely fits the bill, as I confess I'm new to audio. Plus, it's a bit over your $1k, but I love this unit: (And no, I don't work for Crutchfield, nor did I buy my unit from them; but I think they have a great writeup.)http:/... | |
| Newbie Q: speaker cable length? Different OK? Adam, I did check out the website, then called. And you're right, he's a great guy. Talked at incredible length, and he seemed to be in no rush to jet me off the line. I ordered speaker wire today, Level3. Ironically enough, went with two times e... | |
| Blown speaker, stupid move? I had remembered seeing that, and it struck me funny on your post. Then I saw the memorex version appear here. Indeed. | |
| Newbie Q: AppleTV to analog only preamp Great answers, all. Thanks much. Received a real education and clarity. Based on this, I'm looking at this device. For sure, this is a future upgrade; but at least I have a clear upgrade path for when that time comes. Old $90 Blu-ray would have ev... | |
| Newbie Q: AppleTV to analog only preamp Bump. Can anyone answer this question: If I'm looking for HT passthrough, how possible is it to simply have a "Y" connector coming out of the preamp, with the HT portion being plugged into the other half of the "Y" -- both then terminating in the ... | |
| Newbie Q: speaker cable length? Different OK? @adam18 , would you consider the Speltz anti-cables worth pursuing? Recommended (particularly when you consider what I'm using now/returning)? | |
| Newbie Q: speaker cable length? Different OK? @adam18 , with your conversation with Paul Speltz, are you recounting that simply different lengths are fine? Or is that combination of 6'/12' (e.g., 7'/14') being some kind of acceptable harmonic, or something like that? | |
| Newbie Q: speaker cable length? Different OK? Interesting. I wonder what the difference in composition would be between "speaker-intended" wires, and AC? Yet, that anecdotal "no one raved about them" is telling. Still, I would wonder. Copper is copper. Extruded is extruded. Just wondering out... | |
| Blown speaker, stupid move? David, funny. Ebm, you were the one who said in the other post that "your speakers are trashed" right? | |
| Newbie Q: speaker cable length? Different OK? Or this -- although I have no idea what THHN wire is.http://www.lowes.com/pd_539969-295-20494145___?productId=50101716&pl=1&Ntt=6+gauge+insulated...(not that I need 500 feet.) | |
| Newbie Q: speaker cable length? Different OK? Wondering about the bare cables, since both amp and speakers will take a bare wire connection, is there any reason not to consider simply going to Lowe's, and buy something like this, plain wire? That example, a 6 gauge would yield like a quarter ... | |
| Blown speaker, stupid move? Thanks Matt, thanks JMc. I am comforted by the likely remote possibility. That was a great discussion at that link as well. Separately someone gave me the link for a great craftsman, should the ultimate (or future) need arise.I found it somewhat h... | |
| Newbie Q: speaker cable length? Different OK? Yes, Al, to me, too. I felt kind of silly when I figured it out. I still had the 7/17mm figure in my head, and I had the cables in my hand! | |
| Newbie Q: speaker cable length? Different OK? A 12 gauge copper conductor has a diameter of approximately 2 mm, as can be seen in this wire gauge table. My kind of chart! :) | |
| Newbie Q: speaker cable length? Different OK? Thanks Al,Among all things, that was most comforting to read of the Bill LeGall lead. That gives me a great option, and relieves my growing concern that I may have damaged what could be a vintage, difficult-to-fix set of speakers. We shall see if ... |
