| Power supply VA rating and how much is really needed Thanks for the info, Aux! :) Glad some one else heard what I did. | |
| could somebody help me out on the benefits of expensive phono and speaker cables? Room acoustics matter a whole lot more. | |
| Power supply VA rating and how much is really needed Used, ATI and NAD's multichannel amps with Hypex class D stages.Otherwise Rotel.I have not heard Outlaw and Emotiva amps, but I have tried the top of the line, mail order HT processors and they were crap. I mean, worked well, looked fine, sounded ... | |
| Power supply VA rating and how much is really needed Kind of on this theme, Nelson Pass has written a great deal about how we test, measure and evaluate amps. He makes the convincing argument that the 1st watt is the most important one. What the distortion or noise is at 250W is irrelevant because n... | |
| Power supply VA rating and how much is really needed In theory at least, the sound quality doesn’t degrade until you reach the limits of the amp. Are you going to run into those limits? :) I mean, the argument can be made that overkill is the best kind of kill when it comes to engineering, but there... | |
| I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why. Depends on listening level and music. I could listen to music a lot lower volume if I could have old-school loudness controls like the Denon's and now some rare Yamaha integrated amps have. | |
| Preamplifier Recommendation for Innersound Eros Speakers Coda is the correct solution, but I would suggest a CJ instead to add some color. Best,E | |
| Power supply VA rating and how much is really needed VA = AC watts. This is really the upper limit of what the power supply can deliver. However, the actual wattage spent is the power consumed by the speaker divided by some efficiency factor. So200 Watts at the speaker / .6 = 266 VA continuous requi... | |
| Power supply VA rating and how much is really needed Is 300VA-400VA per channel enough? Will less be detrimental to performance and SQ? Is more always better?That's about 300-400 Watts per channel. Simultaneously. That's quite a bit. What are ideal specs for a multichannel ( or stereo amplifier )... | |
| Holo's new R2R KTE Spring-2 Dac The usb module has all the code completely rewritten custom and improved with low latency performance. Well, that makes me nervous! Being in IT, re-writing code from others that is working already is expensive. It's not just the writing but the h... | |
| Carver sunfire signature / Sanders Magtech I haven’t heard the Magtech, only the previous generation with the InnerSound brand. My impression then was they were very revealing, with impressive dynamic range and impossible to perturb. Quiet and ran stone cold. On the other hand, I found no ... | |
| Clean Power without the drawbacks of Conditioning Filtering. Advice? Furman wiht SMP and LiFT has the most protection and lowest amount of interference. House wide surge suppressors are a good idea, but they do nothing for noise. | |
| any speakers using all Scanspeak Classic drivers? Not sure about classic, but Sony produced at least one speaker using only Illuminator, and the B&O monstrosity as well. Wilson often uses Scanspeak mids and woofers, but not tweets. Magico uses their tweeter motors with custom diaphragms. Also... | |
| Need help with cable termination! I had really terrible luck with Furutech. The plug material itself deforms easily and is a tad too small. With Focal speakers I never got a tight fit. Instead I recommend WBT. use the sleeves method. Available from Parts Connexion. Best,E |
