| How close are you to being to your endgame? My system outline and I'm almost there. aj1735, Your system is certainly of a higher pedigree, more complete, and more thought-out than my own. BUT the notion of "almost done" and "done, unless something else breaks", brings to mind software projects from my working days. In engineerin... | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile Altec VOT. Which are now long gone :) | |
| Improve RFI Identify the source of the crud before launching-in to any RF shielding or RF snubbing effort. Start with what tosnc suggests. | |
| Sellers Beware To the original poster -- yes. I stand corrected. That is crummy behavior on the part of the offered-didn't buy person. No argument there. The way many of the responses read, it sounded as if merely asking a question carries some obligation. Rere... | |
| Sellers Beware Uh, wait a minute. Maybe I'm completely crazy. Where is it written that obligation to buy comes with asking a question? Oh; but I've asked a question. Am I now obligated to buy this thread??? | |
| Would a stereo Sim Audio Moon 861 amp be as powerful as 2 McIntosh 611 monoblock amps? SPL wise, surely either amplifier will get you to 85 dB SPL for most listening positions in most rooms. I do not guess which Dynaudio model you are after, but I see the Confidence 50s are specified as 4 Ohm speakers, with drops to 2.7 Ohms. Mc 61... | |
| Will AI. Minimize the Design differences of audio Dude. AI is not up to the task. Period. | |
| How hot is too hot? Anything you do to reduce the temperature inside a power amplifier will extend the lifetime of some components, most notably electrolytic capacitors. This becomes important sooner or later. FWIW, the interior temp I measure on my big Krells hovers... | |
| Audio Research LS28SE vs McIntosh C53 Let's hesitate to go to ChatGPT or start using any LLM-based "oracle" for advice, assessment, or summary. These AI tools only scan the Internet (or were trained from the Internet), and then parrot-out text from random sources, meted by statistical... | |
| Power Cords/ Conditioner/Surge Protectors As above, "Good surge suppression is a MUST for expensive high-end equipment." -- ABSOLUTELY TRUE. +1 to willywonka. | |
| Sub woofer naive question day "Sub out" indicates a low-frequency output, intended to be fed directly to a powered subwoofer. | |
| is McIntosh known for good dynamics? BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): This is a long description of my strange trip, and it responds to the OP only within the domain of vintage Mc tube gear. I don't expect my experience to be any kind of "guide to absolute truth", but it is one data poin... | |
| And the biggest influence on sound quality is... One question is, "What, overall, determines sound quality?". A different, but closely related question is, "What, under my control, determines sound quality?". OP tomcarr suggests the importance of the room. Interestingly, the room is controllabl... | |
| Do You Unplug Equipment During Thunderstorms? Yes. | |
| What would you save in a fire? I'd pass out trying to lift my Krells and perish with them in the fire. |
