| Doing the Power Cord Thing when looking to buy a power cord for say a amp, how do you know which one to get ? does a company make a power cord to sound a certain way ? Buy nothing you can't hear value in yourself. The claim is that power cords can make all sorts of aud... | |
| I woke up with cold ears Just make sure you use distilled water. Several have died from amoebas found in drinking water having a quick path to the brain. Best,E | |
| I woke up with cold ears If I'm that powerful, I should get paid. Some one pay me for a stupid hot take!! | |
| I woke up with cold ears It’s got nothing to do with DIY power cables. Talk about trolling, and from a different thread. I don’t think the guy likes you, Erik. That seems clear! :) Given how little A'gon matters, overall, sometimes I feel like vendors feel I am attacki... | |
| I woke up with cold ears TBC: I do trust my ears and my experience. I don't need other people to tell me their hearing is better so I should buy stuff. My posting here is that because I trust what I hear, I know my own hearing is variable. | |
| Luxman 509X vs Mc452 + preamp I haven't seen ANY official spec that calls it class A up to 30 W. We know Luxman rated the amp's total output to 30W, but reviewers have found it puts out significantly more. Luxman is cagey in it's description as well, referring to bringing the ... | |
| I woke up with cold ears Hi @millercarbon: Can't trust your own ears, may as well trust mine. Nowhere have I ever ever meant to say this. I trust my own ears above all else. I may write about how easy it is to muse something is better or worse when it is not, but please,... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 @erik_squires & @prof Erik’s prediction was mistaken. They are slightly more efficient, say 2dB. They also sound better at lower volume. Awesome! Of course, this may be a custom driver, with different impedance and sensitivities than listed a... | |
| Better sound with ethernet cable? What Ethernet gives you: Absolute reliability, less radiated noise near your music. Will you hear a difference? I'm not sure. It depends a great deal on your Wi-Fi environment. Like here I'm near 20-30 other Wifi signals all competing for the same... | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing You can’t judge a book by looking at the cover. The secrets are hidden. You can buy different materials to use, including silver content or even silver cables. Cold welding is actually just the industry standard for how you make cables in bulk. I... | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing To clarify, I meant that there was savings in two ways: 1 - Not buying a ridiculously over priced power cable2 - Building your own. Could I replicate the unobtanium claimed by these exotic makers ? No. Do I need them? No. Best,E | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing Nope. Plenty of $2,000 power cables out there. | |
| Using A Lower Wattage Amp For Mains With A Powered Subwoofer It means that at the very least, the amp will see a high load (100 Ohms or more) where the subwoofer frequencies are. This can help low current amps perform better. If there is a high pass filter, it will also reduce the voltage swing the amp has ... | |

| Anyone ever compare the PS Audio Stellar amp (class D) to Benchmark ABH2 (class a/b)? I'd be interested to know what he thinks stellar class A/B is before commenting. :) There are some megabucks class A I wouldn't have in my home for free. |
