| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? Wellfed...Since you want to be legalistic, let me remind you that the strictest critera (for criminal conviction) is beyond a REASONABLE doubt. This case is a slam dunk. | |
| Magnepan MMG or MG12? MG1.6 are a bit more money, but probably represent the maximum performance/dollar point of the Maggie line. | |
| What exactly does "Hospital Grade" mean? All outlets get looser as stuff is plugged in and out many times. A "pull test" is a practical way for the maintenance staff to determine how far the degradation has gone, and when it is time to replace the outlet. Wearout should not be a concern ... | |
| hum from nearby high-tension wires? Steverw...Please do the portable radio check. This would probably set some people's minds at ease about radiated EMF. | |
| What exactly does "Hospital Grade" mean? Covered by Medicare? | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP Ecruz...1. Auto EQ works fine below 80 Hz (regardless of what the manual says). 2. Don't try to get flat response any lower than what your speaker is capable of. If you do you will mostly screw up higher frequencies. 3. I use the "FAST" setting, a... | |
| hum from nearby high-tension wires? Get yourself some kind of battery powered audio device...a portable radio for example. See if it hums, and what happens as you walk towards and away from the transmission lines. If it doesn't hum, you have a problem with your own system. | |
| Why should some speakers need a big room? A large speaker system generally has large drivers with some space between them. The sound from the different drivers (at different frequencies) must blend, and the greater the distance between drivers the greater the distance must be between the ... | |
| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? They repel UFOs. | |
| What exactly does "Hospital Grade" mean? Albertporter...Of course a tight grip would be important for a heavy PC, but the "Hospital Grade" designation does not seem to offer this feature any better than commercial grade (as you note). When I was involved with heavy (64-pin) connectors an... | |
| What exactly does "Hospital Grade" mean? Thank you Albert for the detailed info.Reading it I notice that "Hospital Grade" means it has certain characteristics, like tolerance of "Abrupt removal" (yank the wire) which are probably important in the Hospital environment, but which IMHO are ... | |
| UcD vs TriPath Digital amps. CORRECTION...The UcD module is self-oscillating (like the ICE module) at 412 KHz (not 44KHz). When I wrote it I really couldn't believe that 44KHz would work. | |
| Totem Forest uses a Swan driver??????? DIY speaker building can be successful without knowing a lot about design if you stick to cloning existing speakers that you like. An individual can do this for himself without fear of a law suit. | |
| Totem Forest uses a Swan driver??????? Is this a new game..."outing" speaker manufacturers regarding the common drivers they use? Gmood1 has it right. If you don't want to pay for overall design and fabrication of the speaker system, and for a prestegious nameplate, get into DIY speake... | |
| Does length matter with Toslink cables Are "Toslinks" really GLASS optical fibre? Plastic maybe. Real glass fibre can go for miles, but part of this is that digital data waveforms can be greatly distorted and still be properly decoded at the destination as ones and zeros. Somehow audio... |
