| In search of info from the technical guys Lots of different class D and OEM's, and always someone around who tries making a new one.Pascal, Hypex and ICEPower are among the most common, but Crown, Yamaha and NuForce make their own. Texas Instruments makes a variety of IC's to fascilitate ... | |
| Extremely hyped omni directionals introduced Munich 2018 I'm really not sure at all how these work, and as for omni's, MBL and Ohm Walsh have some die hard fans still. :) Best,E | |
| JAM by Duelund Sorry to hear that Alex! I know nothing about those wires though, so that's why I personally would not have answered. :) Best,Erik | |

| Romex power cable as speaker cables? I know of at least 1 mega-bucks speaker company that uses solid core, electrical wire for their internal wiring. Saves on materials, but adds significantly to the time needed for assembly. | |
| JAM by Duelund @alexberger That's a little unfair! You've been pretty much only asking @grannyring for advice on this thread. :) Thanks for your feedback and experience too. When I have money again I'm definitely going to try the Jupiter caps in my speakers:http... | |
| Hafler DH 500 Check the heat sinks on both sides. If you have something shorting, it will overheat and cause the thermal sensors to shut it off. | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? +1 peter.I've wanted to play with composite sandwiches, as well as using layers of the same materials with different cut-outs to prevent panel length resonances. | |
| Beware the audio guru Well, you know how it is. If you can’t fart in a crowded elevator and observe the pained attempts at normalcy, then what fun would life be? A real fartist acts, and leaves, knowing death will be upon his victims in less than three floors. | |
| Beware the audio guru @mr_m I was making a joke on GaAs - Gallium Arsenide transistors, made with the elements gallium and arsenic, which are a real thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallium_arsenideBest,Erik | |
| Beware the audio guru Can an atheist blaspheme, if there’s no God in their universe? Just asking(no one else is staying on topic either.....well- not everyone, to avoid absolutes, that is)! Technically, yes. Blasphemy isn't about what you believe, but what you say o... | |
| Beware the audio guru Gallium Cyanide transistors??? Sounds dangerous.... Go big or go home. So long as I keep them contained in a magnetic time field they are perfectly safe. :) Best,E | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense Room acoustics Uber Alles. A good room can make a wide range of speakers sound excellent. A poor room will severely limit you, and force your hand. DSP is great, but it's benefits are magnified with good room acoustics. Most pros I know, recommend... | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? I think it's close between ply and MDF. Construction matters however.The best MDF I have seen use 1" thick layers to build up the case, with each layer using a different bracing topology. This yields an incredibly stiff and inert cabinet. but is v... | |
| Beware the audio guru @mapman It’s true! Fixing new problems like ground loops, bad drivers, "does my amp need to be repaired" or "why is my remote not working" type of questions all benefit from those who have gone before. I think the idea of a "guru" in this thread a... |
