| Shunyata Hydra or PS-600 PS audio ???? PS Audio 600. No question. | |
| Best Electrostatic Cans-Stax vs. Koss I'd say the Stax. But with either, you'll hear the all the good--and the bad--in your system. Ultimately, I couldn't bear to hear the bad, and that in-your-brain "headphone effect" drove me nuts. | |
| Capacitance: Help me understand Although I'll probably be trashed by other engineers, I think it all has to do with the speed of electrons.Capacitance slows them down. (Remember EE-101: voltage can't chage instantaneously through a capacitor.) Ideally you to want them to move as... | |
| Attention Scientists, Engineers and Na-s Please don't tar us all with the same brush. I'm an engineer/scientist who still trusts his ears over any piece of test equipment. | |
| Shure V-15vmr VS V-15 III Caution: the V-15mr is ultra fragile, I easily trashed 3.Try Needledoctor.com for relacement styli. | |
| New power cords for M/L Aerius A cheaper way to go is to clip on a small ferrite block at the speaker end of the stock power cord. Big speakers are big antennas. | |
| Electronic Circuitry For Dummies I'd buy a basic electronics experiment kit from Rat Shack or similar from a local toy store. You learn best by doing.It's fun, too. | |
| Who has actually listened to DVD audio? I have both, so can compare. True, little s/w is out there in DVD-A... Natalie Merchant's "Tiger Lily" being the best DVD-A I've heard. "San Andreas Fault" sounds so spooky in 5.1 channels it literally makes the hairs on the back of your neck jump... | |
| cable length It's not how long it is, it's how you use it... Oh, CABLE length! Excuse me; I thought we were talking about something else. Wrong chat area. | |
| TV Interference/RF Noise??? Well, if you can't move the bridge, lower the river--try using a VCR's tuner connected via a l-o-n-g video cable to feed your TV (bypassing its tuner of course). Move that VCR (or component tuner) around your room, just to see if the problem is ex... | |
| How did U get into this expensive hobby? S-E-X. Mucho-macho stereo systems attracted the chicks like flies to honey! They say "Music hath charms..." It certainly does. Why does the middle-aged balding guy get the red Porshe? Because he likes the color?? COME ON guys! Stop the b.s.; fess up! | |
| Speaker punishing bass Telarc's CD of "1812 Overture" of course. The cannon shots have bass down to 6hz!! That's s-i-x. Maybe too punishing; more like speaker abuse... | |
| Consumer Alert PS300 actual voltage That "117" volt ideal is the RMS value for a 60-Hz sinewave only. Are you measuring your 300 output at 60 Hz, no multiwave, no higher frequency settings? Otherwise the reading will be higher. | |
| TV Interference/RF Noise??? I think you may need to uncouple the cable ground from your audio system ground. There could be a loop. Use a floating ground ballun on your coax cable, such as the "M.A.G.I.C. box ground loop eliminator. Audio Outlet, among others, sells it: 914-... |
