| ifi LAN iSilencer Hi @davetheoilguy I wonder if we are talking about two different things? There’s a surge protector on the equipment that goes through the power cord, which I have no issue with, and there are LAN surge protectors (which I think are iffy) and LAN... | |
| Surge protector @12many True. OTOH, Wirecutter is literally the only time I’ve seen actual surge testing done by a third party. Every other review I’ve seen for surge protectors is basically just reading the online specs. If you do happen to find actual surge t... | |
| It's a Long-shot: Meridian G02 conversion to balanced tape out OP: The biggest advantage is reduced noise, which is fine, especially if it's a long run. | |
| It's a Long-shot: Meridian G02 conversion to balanced tape out The outputs are rated at 1.5V / 400 Ohms, I think they'll be OK. :) | |
| It's a Long-shot: Meridian G02 conversion to balanced tape out Use black electrician's tape for the end of the XLR cable to add some strain relief if you don't have heat shrink tubes available. | |
| Surge protector Yes, a panel mounted surge protector nearest the incoming power cables is best and has the lowest RL. Worth giving up 2 or 4 slots for. Next is wired, and as close to entrance of service wiring as possible. The issue is that they are parallel dev... | |
| It's a Long-shot: Meridian G02 conversion to balanced tape out I just looked at the manual. It seems like you may have to roll your own since this is a very uncommon situation. I’d suggest you take an XLR to XLR cable and remove the female end. Use these RCA adapters to make it easy on yourself. You only ne... | |
| Surge protector @immatthewj You are correct. and most surges capable of damaging electronics are invisible. For some reason some people equate a power surge only with visible near by lightning strikes which cause visible arcing and sparks inside the home. The th... | |
| Is it okay to run two amplifiers for two speakers You may never connect the active outputs of an amplifier together. To clarify this statement, I mean directly together such as via a speaker cable or even an accidental strand that shorts from one to the other. However, in cases when the am... | |
| The Center, Measured @terry9 Nice idea. Did you use room correction? | |
| Is it okay to run two amplifiers for two speakers You may never connect the active outputs of an amplifier together. Even a tiny voltage difference can cause large and damaging current flows. What you can do is bi-amp a speaker which has two separate binding posts IF the binding posts themselves... | |
| Sonos Connect Streamer audio drops out OP: Also, see here: https://community.t-mobile.com/gateways-and-devices-37/how-i-got-my-sonos-products-to-work-on-my-t-mobile-home-wireless-internet-service-52108 I don't do this since I don't have Sonos, but FYI, I use T-Mobile as one ... | |
| Duplicate room correction OP: What amp do you have? An Anthem?? | |
| Sonos Connect Streamer audio drops out Wwird. What if you put a second router after it like I do? | |
| Duplicate room correction Hey, good questions! Room correction software all have an "opinion" about what the final outcome should be. The software in the sub and the software in your amp could very well come to different conclusions about what everything should sound like... |
