| When using a power conditioner, why is it advised to run amps directly to the wall? @erik_squires Thank you for the clarification. I did look up the definition of "regenerator" and this is what I got: re·gen·er·a·tor ri-ˈje-nə-ˌrā-tər 1: one that regenerates So you were spot on! lol (did you cheat?) The stable AC volt... | |
| When using a power conditioner, why is it advised to run amps directly to the wall? @devinplombier The P300 you mentioned, like the current PS Audio Power Plants, are able to recreate sinewaves that can better the output signal from your AC outlet. Harmonic distortion be damned! The "regenerators" of PS Audio simply recreate w... | |
| When using a power conditioner, why is it advised to run amps directly to the wall? I am one who is stymied by PS Audio using the word "regenerator" to describe that product. I would think most would actually believe it is recreating electricity that is better than what the electric company is providing you. Far from it, right? A... | |
| How competitive are you with your system? @lanx0003 Beware of isolating yourself and finding little to do outside of the home. If I gave up golf, I would have few relationships outside my PT job that provides a minor amount of human interaction but is hardly fulfilling. After attritio... | |
| Don't try to fix these electrical prolbems with a conditioner! It seems easy to convince other audiophiles that a dedicated A/C line will do wonders for sound as costs are minimal when compared to a high- end conditioner, or a new piece of equipment. What you suggest is a way to determine (sort of) if your l... | |
| Krell Moves to new location Apparently while CT is resolved the conflict is not. A family holding company, J.F. Bicking, owns 30% and has tried to buy the 70% his son holds. If Bicking cannot buy him out, then Bicking is going to want the value of 30% of the company, and t... | |
| Feedback on Costco & Amazon sound absorption panels from folks who have purchased them. @jsd52756 Traveled down the road of "acoustic materials" that at first bluster seemed to be the way to go. However, once the overall price hits you upside the head you realize that cotton... Here is what AI states: Yes, sound can travel throu... | |
| Feedback on Costco & Amazon sound absorption panels from folks who have purchased them. @jsd52756 With those Infinity speakers, the bulk of your sound waves required to dissipate will be low frequencies. Hence, wall treatments (I think of them as say higher than a couch) will be for higher frequencies and require far less to mitiga... | |
| Feedback on Costco & Amazon sound absorption panels from folks who have purchased them. I don't think 45 degree angles and mitering is necessary. To each his own, though. Nails and glue - spray glue used to hold two 2" pieces of CW 703 together - and a visit to a fabric store to buy cool cheap cotton fabric to match the decor. Most... | |
| Feedback on Costco & Amazon sound absorption panels from folks who have purchased them. @mitch2 +1 I agree. Start with a pile of Owens Corning s 703 and 2 x 6 lumber. Make your own sound baffles. 4 inches of the stuff stops the proliferation of all sound, including the majority of bass frequencies. When you have sound baffles that ... | |
| Krell Moves to new location Probate court in Pennsylvania generally lasts 6 months to a year. Owner died in June of last year. Assume timeline is about right for the Krell case in whatever state is conducting it. When a company is in probate court it is unlawful for anyone... | |
| Rega reference belt disappointment @dekay Run in the belt for 50 hours and then repeat you method of measurement The belt drive system adds another layer of "settling" time. The belt itself needs to stretch and adjust to the platter and sub-platter as the turntable starts. Y... | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 @twangy57 The original Exact cartridge was panned. The Exact 2 is excellent. If you have a P6 and it came installed with the Exact, it is most likely the 2 version. I had the Exact 2 on a P6 and it sounded great. Real sweet sounding, something... | |
| Band/artist documentaries. @wharfy The amount of cocaine they consumed is astounding. That made me chuckle. I read Stevie Nicks autobiography and she stated she spent millions on the drug. A plastic surgeon told her that her nose could be irreparably damaged to the poi... | |
| Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best? Wharfedale Linton Heritage speakers are excellent at reproducing snare drums. They are mid-bass speakers and as @kofibaffour states: So basically get a speaker that is balanced in tonal character above the Schroeder frequency which is roughly ... |
