| starting equiment that ic cold from being shipped Regarding the cooling fins - yes they will work in reverse during the warm up but would only be effective if the amp is out of the box. However the fins would also increase air movement around the amp and thereby increase the likelihood of condens... | |
| starting equiment that ic cold from being shipped @bossa Early in my career I did thermal analysis - modeling problems just like this. I can tell you that it depends on the thermal properties of the materials the amp is made of. More or less the denser the longer it will take to come to equilibri... | |
| starting equiment that ic cold from being shipped @dekay @holmz - I feel bad. I meant no disrespect when I said opening them was a “terrible idea”. It was an in-artful way to open my response and I don’t want to promote discord on this site. I do stand by my opinion that it will be better ... | |
| starting equiment that ic cold from being shipped Opening them up to warm up is a terrible idea. This will expose the electronics to any water vapor in the room and greatly greatly increase the likelihood of condensation forming. Leaving them sealed more or less restricts the opportunity for cond... | |
| How long ago did you catch the bug? Junior high - probably 1976 - my friend Dan had his dad’s stereo. It wasn’t much but is was separates rather than the ubiquitous all-in-one systems everyone had at that time. He played The Who, Live at Leeds and I couldn’t believe how much more th... | |
| Best Bang for the Buck Upgrade It seems like you actually really like your system but are still looking for that next step - I can very much relate. I recently added a 2nd JL sub (placed to the rear of but not directly behind the primary listening position). I’m in a similar si... | |
| Try a sub a third in the back Not sure if the OP was more championing 3 subs or the 3D effect that placing a sub behind the listening position creates. My system has 2 subs but because I live in a small house I don’t have a lot of choice on placement. The recent addition of th... | |
| Do we really know what "Live" music sounds like? Am I the only one that the only thing that really stuck with me from the article was how the author thinks it’s OK to go into a music store and lie to the workers and waste their time trying to improve the sound of the author’s system? | |
| Preowned Wilson Audio Chicago Dealer I had a similar bait and switch interaction with Albert Portis. I was interested in either one of 2 AudioQuest Niagara 7000 Power Conditioners he had listed on Audiogon. Since he had 2 listed for weeks I did initially low-ball my offer and was tur... | |
| Streaming 102 @joeyfed55 - I’ve been through a similar journey. Initially I had a Node 2 (prior to 2i) but wondered how much better it could get. I ended up buying a Mytek Manhattan II DAC w/network card. I got a little bit of a deal during early COVID days - ... | |
| Who Tried Power Conditioners Over The Years and No Longer Use Them Today, Any Why? I didn't have the experience the OP asked about - rather I'm having the exact opposite experience. A couple months ago my PS Audio PowerPlant 15 quit initializing. I didn't think I missed it that much but since I got it back on Tuesday I have not... | |
| No Insurance with FEDEX as of 11/01 My PS Audio PowerPlant 15 is currently bouncing around the FedEx system (warranty work - another string). Was supposed to be delivered yesterday (Sunday) but went about 3 hours too far south. After sitting there for a day it’s now 3 hours west of ... | |
| Can You Hear Me Now @OP - Appreciate the social experiment. Results are as expected. ;-) | |
| When are people going to wake up and realize listening is a skill? In the OP’s original post, “By the time I was an instructor myself…” | |
| When are people going to wake up and realize listening is a skill? I got one worthwhile thing out of this string - I’ll be avoiding race car driving lessons in the Seattle area. Just like in other areas if my life, I’d rather go with a science based approach. |
