| Brown out Brown outs and power interruptions are a fact of life. Any designer of electronic equipment who makes something that would be damaged by such should be fired. | |
| Anyone use a DVD player as a front end? Since a DVD player uses the same D/A and analog output circuitry for CDs and DVDs, it's a bit strange to say that a player does one better than the other. | |
| Review: Mye Sound speaker stands Magnepan- MG-20 Tweak Theaudiotweak...What??? Perhaps "inneraction" means something. One minor problem with any speaker is that higher frequencies, say 200 Hz, are being launched from a cone or diaphram that is vibrating at, say, 80 Hz. That 80 Hz vibration is far and ... | |
| Dual volume controls on superphon pre-amp If the two controls are for the two channels it is a damn nuisance. When stereo was first introduced I, and some others, used two mono preamps, because there weren't any stereo ones. I stacked two Heathkit preamps, installed a stereo volume contro... | |
| Review: Mye Sound speaker stands Magnepan- MG-20 Tweak Cwlondon...It's really the same debate about hanging speakers by chains from the ceiling, and whether the music will cause them to swing to and fro. I did an experiment about that, and music doesn't move them at all. However, if the wind blows or ... | |
| Review: Mye Sound speaker stands Magnepan- MG-20 Tweak Kdc...There must be something wrong with your Maggies if they moved with music before you got the Mye stands. My MG1.6 don't move at all from music. If I move them by hand they oscillate at about 2 Hz which is so far away from any frequency that t... | |
| nobody talks about BAT anymore? I sure hope that everyone doesn't agree with everything said on Audiogon. That would be downright boring! We ought to be able to distinguish vigorous debate from insults. | |
| how much power do you need two drive magnpan1.6s Magfan...Interesting about the impedance plot of the MG1.6.I did an upgrade to the crossovers in my MG1.6...same design just better parts, like air core inductors. I was surprised to find that the high and low frequency crossover slopes were not o... | |
| Any vinyl experts out there? "Any vinyl experts out there?" Is the Pope Catholic? Sometimes I get the impression that 95% of the world supply of vinyl experts are on Audiogon. | |
| nobody talks about BAT anymore? Sean 34 is correct, at least in context of this thread. However, (there is always a however) some postings are not legitimate questions (praise of magic rocks and the like) and these deserve the ridicule they elicit. Ridicule is a gentle way of sa... | |
| how much power do you need two drive magnpan1.6s I have some experience with really, really, realy, fast fuses! They were to protect transistors in a very expensive and hard to repair motor drive circuit in a missile guidance system. Turns out, there are fuses that are fast enough to protect tra... | |
| Fuse problem:cannot understand what i'm missing The "T" instead of "SB" probably means "Time Delay".The delay characteristic may be different from the fuse supplied by Krell. | |
| When did the Hi-Fi sound mature? It depends. If you want to play pipe organ or marching band music at volume approaching the live performance a good 1960's system with its 15 or 18 inch woofers will blow away today's tweeky high end system.If you want to play a female vocalist wi... | |
| high voltage's affect on amplifier performance I doubt that frequency response would be affected. Do you have any measurements to support your idea? Since rail voltages are usually not regulated your amp will have a little more power output. I don't think that 124 volts would measurably degrad... | |
| Subst. slow blow w fast blow fuse:normal practice? Although I would not recommend it, doubling the fuse value would probably be enough to deal with the inrush current at turnon that is the reason for the Slow Blow type. And, for most kinds of faults that will blow the fuse, doubling the value won'... |
