| Mfr/Dealer Relationships When I buy from a dealer it is someone who has been in business for several decades, and has substantial stock of items for demo. Of course this is no guarantee that he will be there forever, but it is some indication that he is overall a good out... | |
| Soldering cable ends for AC terminations I always use solder. 1...It keeps loose strands of copper from shorting out. 2...It provides a "soft" metal to clamp down on, which I think improves the connection. | |
| 40hz room mode RPG Modex Corner trap? I understand that the PARC might be a bit expensive. However, the Behringer DEQ2496 would do the job for you. See the several threads about this remarkable unit. By the way, Rives audio will tell you that LF room resonances, like 40 Hz, can't real... | |
| Soldering cable ends for AC terminations If the connection gets hot enough to melt solder you have made a really lousy connection! | |
| What makes a High Efficiency Speaker Here are some SPL measurements. Planar is a MG1.6. PS is a Dynaudio Gemini (small MTM).Signal is pink noise generated by Prepro (intended for setting levels).Distance is feet.Distance..Planar...PS.....PS........0........100.....100........1.......... | |
| Is it Audio, or is it Art? Triode...Perhaps the title suggests an either/or situation, but it should be clear from my comments that I am not suggesting this. Rather, I am suggesting that many high end purchases are predominantly art aquisitions. For example, with $75,000 po... | |
| Where to find adequate woofer replacement for PSB Madisound.com will find you a suitable replacement. | |
| Nuforce Plato...I described my comment as an opinion but I did set forth some rationalle for it. 1.."These modules are intended... bugs get quickly found and fixed".2..I cite a real world example from my work experience where original design of electronic... | |

| Nuforce I believe that the future of audio power amps lies with use of prepackaged modules such as ICE or UcD (especially the latter). These modules are intended for application not only in many brands of audiophile equipment but also in Pro Sound and oth... | |
| TECH GURU's out there, how to clean Circuit Board? Timrhu...Contact cleaner is for contacts! Some electronic parts will not take kindly to such treatment. (Don't ask how I know). I know Freon is safe, but you can't get it. I know that a safe Freon replacement cleaning fluid exists, and I wish I co... | |
| What makes a High Efficiency Speaker An exception to this would be highly directional Low bandwidth horns...and I am thinking of a Bullhorn, such as used by police and fire departments for crowd control. These must be well over 100 dB. | |
| TECH GURU's out there, how to clean Circuit Board? .Davehrab...IKYC** I know your coordinates!. | |
| TECH GURU's out there, how to clean Circuit Board? Be careful about alcohol, and any other cleaning agents.In building inertial guidance systems for ballistic missiles we found that the best fluid for cleaning circuit parts is Freon. We used it for decades. Concern for the Ozone layer forced us to... | |
| What makes a High Efficiency Speaker Lot's of talk about dB/watt vs dB/volt, but let's not forget that this spec is measured at a particular distance, one meter I think. SPL decreases with distance from the source, and different speakers distribute their sound differently. In particu... |
