| Chord Hugo power supply help @kalali Yes, you could use a 100A supply on the device and the Chord would be safe. Let me help you understand why. Your math is right, but you miss that current (I or A) is dependent on V and R. It's not the other way around. We can induce the R ... | |
| No sound - Please Help Try a battery. Any 1.5 to 9V will work. It should make some sound when you connect it. Polarity doesn't work, and the voltage is so low it's safe. Best,E | |
| Magicos are chesty No, they are not. :) But they sure are in a much better space. I was drunk when I wrote this. I meant, I heard the Magico's in a very well treated listening room. | |
| Magicos are chesty @audioconnection That is perfect! E | |
| Magicos are chesty I’m sure there better than whatever you have!! No, they are not. :) But they sure are in a much better space. Yeah, sorry, I guess "chesty" isn't in the vernacular (yet). By chesty I mean like extra voice sounds that come from the chest. If you ... | |
| Magicos are chesty The McIntosh speakers I've listened to are to my ears perhaps the worst "high end" speakers I've encountered. That is a real shame. I'm a fan of the MTM array, in principle, but how you can avoid hearing that buzzing is beyond me. This was my ... | |
| Magicos are chesty @prof I'm honestly a little surprised at this behavior in this price bracket, but I also got to hear a pair of floor standing McIntosh speakers, and they practically rattled with the human voice. | |
| SQ : Anthem receiver vs. processor My work situation just radically changed. I'm going to have to put off any kilobuck buys off till next year. :( Best,E | |
| SQ : Anthem receiver vs. processor I went to Brooks Berdan in Monrovia. A great store, with the repair center in the middle and opwn to view. Highly recommended! But they only had one Anthem AV receiver and it was not hooked up.Le sigh | |
| Power Uber Alles ? Elizabeth, so you place Class A Uber Alles? I'm not trolling you, I'm genuinely curious. In your mind, class A trumps power? (assuming power was adequate). Best,E | |
| Magicos are chesty First, apologies, I’m being a troll because I have no other way to relate to other people. Let’s just get that speculation out of the way.I had the chance to hear my second pair of Magicos, and bot the S1 Mk II and S3 that I just heard both had a ... | |
| Are "listening to" or "listening with" TBC, I summarize my point at the end, to make what you are doing with your ear/brain a conscious choice, and make yourself happy. :) | |
| Chord Hugo power supply help Based on the website, 12V, 0.5 A will work. If you like to leave it plugged in, this is a very nice options:https://amzn.to/2rQtNiZIf you want something absolutely killer though .... https://amzn.to/2LxI6SGYou would have to roll your own power cab... | |
| Chord Hugo power supply help Well, aside from buying from Hugo, iFi makes some very nice audiophile wall warts. Check the current requirements. The Hugo should have something on it like "12 V 1.5A" or something. Make sure V are the same, and that your power supply A is equal ... | |
| Power Uber Alles ? I'll give another example. I like certain capacitors more than others. Very personal. However there used to be this kind of belief that equivalent series resistance (ESR) or dissipation factor were the causes. Turns out, that did not really work ... |
