| Importance of clocking A recording studio is using an external clock as much for synchronization as for anything else, as they often have a situation when devices are daisy-chained together and must work together correctly at every clock beat. The multiple pieces of eq... | |
| Low-pass Setting of SVS SB-3000s subs with LSA Signature 80 speakers Plug the ports. Measure. Cross higher. | |
| Restored Dual vs. Restored Technics Build wise, the old Dual won't perform nearly as well as a Pro-Ject. So, given a choice: Technics > Pro-Ject > Restored Dual | |
| When Was The Audio Golden Age? When were Snell A/IIIs made?? | |
| Did anyone else disconnect thier equipment due to the geomagnetic storms? Hey @rvpiano - Your problems started about a week before the sun had a flare or coronal mass ejection. Also, they are bizarre, I have been thinking maybe what you had was some weird ground loop problem caused by the speaker amp and the sub amp b... | |
| Importance of clocking What about the clock accuracy releasing the buffer, then? I specifically addressed this in my first message. You literally can’t avoid jitter without buffering, but in the case of a network stream from outside the home having more "clocking"... | |
| Importance of clocking OP: Um, yeah, OK. I’m going to sit here and wait for you to explain to me how on earth you would even reclock a TCP/IP stream without actually buffering it. Just lemme know when you work out that mathmagic. Erik | |
| Surge protector @jea48 I use the Siemens BoltShield, and the reviews are much better. The complaints seem to be from defective units that are DOA or people misunderstanding how the indicators work. Seems a lot of people received pre-owned/defective units from A... | |
| Beryllium Tweeters Good AMT and ring radiators may sound good to you, but i find a lot of Be tweeters to be splashy and over saturated with color, so compared to that you may find a lot of designs to be underwhelming. | |
| Listening Room You want to minimize toe in and look for speakers with wide sweet spots. Also consider satellite/sub configurations or wall mounted speakers as well. Revel is a reasonably affordable brand that fits this description. Some of the mid-small size ... | |
| Surge protector Dammit, I did the Vrms to Vpk conversion wrong..... my bad! A 120Vrms has a Vpk of ~170V. Doh! It's been too long. | |
| Surge protector @jea48 - Class D amps may have a linear or a switch-mode supply in front of them. If linear, it’s just like any other amp and inrush current depends on whether the designer put an turn-on limiter on it or not. Larger amps really should have this ... | |
| Surge protector @ozzy I've had similar experiences with a whole house unit. The one piece of gear I lost was a laptop (Macbook Air with amazing battery life, so sad) which was the only piece of kit in my home that was not further protected by plug in strips. | |
| Surge protector @squared80 - For safety and reliability reasons whole house surge suppression units have a clamping voltage around 400V from neutral. I can tell you from personal experience they don't do great with sensitive electronics. Lets talk specs though:... | |
