| More expensive = better? Yes - Try darTZeel, I'm sure you will be impressed. | |
| Remote Maintenance For remotes that don’t draw a lot of current I use good carbon zinc batteries Everedy for AA and AAA. This is because they are less proned to leaking which is what has damage so many of my remotes. Alkalines leak, Duracell has been the worst for m... | |
| Amp will not power off Had to replace the 20 amp Leviton switch on my SAE X-25A due to a similar problem after 38 years. | |
| A question of metal type; the value of matching RCA phono plugs to sockets ? I'm using silver plated connectors on both ends. Silver oxide is a very good conductor. | |

| Schiit Bifrost 2 question? Why? | |
| Subwoofer for music, how low? -3 dB at 10 to 16Hz. if you don't want to miss anything. | |
| line level crossover for subwoofer +1 JL CR-1. So many others, Bryston, Marchand, First-watt. Really depends on how much $$ you want to spend. Behringer, Ashley, TDM, DBX and many other DSP's I've never tried. | |
| What’s the Right Power Amp Ratio For Bi-Amping? Why vertical bi-amp? You don't need the same power for the highs as you do for the lows. Horizontal bi-amping is much better because the low frequencies are not robbing power supply current from the high frequencies. The actual ratio depends on th... | |
| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? Oh yes, Altecs are one of my favorites too. Modified JBL Hartsfield, JBL DD550000 or DD67000. Not on his list either, but super nice. Sorry carlsbad, I HAVE listened to the Tektons, ng. | |
| Amplifier Output Relays Cleaning of relays do not last and if only the right channel was cleaned, the relays are most likely the same age. Correct? Good idea to check the headphone output, but are they really a different relay? For sure check other inputs! | |
| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? Tekton is not in the same class as the others +1. To me, Tekton sound is not as clear and coherent. A bit fractured. | |
| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? +1 for Zu and Klipsch. -1 for Tekton. | |
| Amplifier Output Relays Amplifier output relays are a common failure component and will seriously degrade the sound of an amplifier. +1 for imhififan, his explanation and LRZ loudspeaker relays. I now replace output relays when servicing amplifiers after years of learning. |
