| Why the fascination with subwoofers? but why add a subwoofer to an existing audio system when they don’t always perform well, are costly, and are difficult to integrate with the many varied speakers offered. This is a question I often have to ask before answering a poster's questi... | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing Well, no way to actually know without measuring. :) And AFAIK, you can be both. I run a Furman Elite 15i, so there's a lot of cruft it should take out first for me. | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing Hi williewonkaSeems like your solution is high inductance and high capacitance. Do you have a power conditioner? What kind? Do you notice the cable has more of a difference vs. the wall than the conditioner? Best,E | |
| The Science of Cables Truth can be said in a single sentence. | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing hey pcc67 - That is exactly what I used. Best,E | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 I think having an iconoclastic point of view really helps. At the genuine high end of speakers, I honestly think half the listeners can't hear a damn thing. I'm not at all knocking the Pulsars, they're middle ground, high value in my mind. I'm jus... | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing hi @ppc67 - My cable wasn't a good one? $100 DIY (on sale so original would be higher). Here's the issue : Assuming power cables "work", they are going to be very noise and device dependent. It is possible that my amp's power supply is so good tha... | |
| Faint hum.... Hi iasi!! This probably has to do with how the switching is being done internally. Sounds like you may have an analog ground loop, something which digital inputs are very good at ignoring. Did you try removing all analog inputs, then adding them o... | |
| What’s wrong with Diana Krall? I won't say I dislike her, I don't, but she's a working musician who sells well. She's had amazing experiences and learned a great deal, so it's' very interesting to hear her interviewed. Unfortunately I think she is overshadowed by the musicians... | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing So, lets see, either I didn't follow the rituals needed to magically activate the cables, or I'm using parts and methods so far beneath good sounding power cables that I'll never get close to decent performance? Are those really my only two choices? | |
| 3 channel amp for H/T What is quite large? Are your speakers sounding like they are stressed? | |
| Manufacturers pushing their products and agenda in the forums. Disgusting. Awful. By the way, Linconln Contintentals are now available with my personaly selected audio components ... | |
| Seeking advice. Integrating surround with a stereo system Hey Martin,What I meant was, you can do the same idea I mentioned using a 2 channel integrated that has external inputs + either a multichannel receiver or processor. Best,E | |
| Seeking advice. Integrating surround with a stereo system A Luxman integrated will work. It has a "separate feature." Consider, as an example. an Anthem MRX x20 with both pre and speaker outs.You can run L and R line level to the Luxman amp in. Use the x20 for all other channels. Anthem's room correction... | |
| The Science of Cables teo : No one is arguing against art. Just don't come to me with reams of science sounding stuff and then claim your stuff can't be tested or measured, or that you are a maverick. Best,E |
