| Dedicated circuit +1 for Jim also..Unfortunately, the ac compressor is going to infect the whole house, it won't be confined to the subpanel. Running a 100 foot branch circuit makes it a magnet for EMI generated throughout the house, so I would use 3-wire romex. Th... | |
| Paralleled Transistors Not really. The more transistors paralleled results in less current through each transistor. The benefits are: less distortion and less of a beta drop, making any inherent beta mismatch not a great factor (and further reduced by emitter resistors ... | |
| Krell Class A/B power amps, do 'anticipator circuits' work? The bias cannot be adjusted from the signal alone. Any circuit that slides the bias has to take into account the load presented by the speaker, for that is the only thing that draws current through the output devices. The buffer would, in theory, ... | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. The product bases it’s claim on affecting the behavior of sound waves into a corner, which is a staple of room acoustical design and has more of a basis in science than painting a fuse and seeing which way works better. | |
| 10agw +10agw=7agw? need some big Banana's Math is correct, but only for solid core. YMMV with stranded. The largest banana plugs I saw on Parts Express is 14 to 8 gauge. They may fit, depending on the number/size of conductors making up the 10 gauge (individually they may be less that 10 ... | |
| Impedance change!? Five ohm resistance is about right for an 8-ohm speaker. Eleven ohms means there is a broken wire or connection somewhere. | |
| How are speakers improved? Nigel is employed by a corporation and he is looking to develop a bookshelf speaker to compete with Brand X, only a better sound at the same price. After looking at some driver specs, he sees something interesting: if he fiddles a little here and ... | |
| Is it possible one channel of my DAC is clipping? It’s more common for problems to appear in one channel than both. All electronics are subject to some kind of failure in one form or another. | |
| Living with unsolvable hum - Any audio detectives out there? It’s a tough call because that preamp has no problem outside the house and the problem is replicated on other circuits inside your house... and isolating the circuit is of no help. A voltage imbalance can cause dc to offset the ac waveform, as can... | |
| Living with unsolvable hum - Any audio detectives out there? Check the voltages in the main panel. Measure phase A to ground (120 vac) and phase B to ground (120 vac). Then across A and B (240 v). If phase A and B are not the same, call an electrician. There may be a loose neutral in the meter pan and the v... | |
| Mark Levinson 332 - Buying decision If the pop is heard only by putting your ear to the speaker, then it is just a symptom of the amplifier’s age, but if it can be heard from the listening position then it’s not normal. The pop is caused by a potential difference in the output volta... | |
| A Fuse question Why not call MD directly and ask? | |
| Can AC wires on rectifier to be reversed and still work? The two transformer secondary wires go to the “~” markings on the BR, doesn’t matter which. The DC positive output is either marked “+” or the corner is chamfered. | |
| Installing new wires in room with hardwood floors Why not wiremold along the wall with a surface mounted box. There are many types to choose from...https://www.crutchfield.com/S-XAvKqmCQqbD/p_717CMK50/Wiremold-CordMate-II-Cord-Organizer-CMK50.html?...Go through the wall down to the basement by dr... | |
| Dedicated line questions... It’s very simple. Ask the electrician to install a circuit to your listening room. What you need:20-amp breaker at the panel;Nema 5-20R receptacle on the wall. This type accommodates both 15 and 20 amp plugs. This is what to buy (or something simi... |
