| DAC finalist please help Schiit Gungnir multibit. $1299 and you can try it out for 15 days.You won’t find better for the price and you’ll easily find worse for twice the price. | |
| Do caps stay "fully formed" even under minimal load? (SS) I stand corrected. I should have said the voltage across the filter cap is constant, plus or minus the 50mv ripple voltage. | |
| Do caps stay "fully formed" even under minimal load? (SS) Filter caps won’t see a difference if the speaker draws one watt or fifteen watts since the voltage across it is constant from no load to rated power draw. The headroom is in the mains transformer and power transistors. | |
| high end speakers are overpriced Wrong analogy. It is against the law for people to be taken advantage of in situations where their well being is held hostage. However, that mechanic can charge a billion dollars for a tire change as long as he posts it to the public at all times.... | |
| high end speakers are overpriced It’s overpriced if it doesn’t sell;It’s underpriced if supply can’t keep up with demand;It’s correctly priced if there are just enough buyers for what can be supplied. | |
| Stupid Power Conditioner question but... Do you really have a 20-amp dedicated circuit? There are three things that rate the circuit at 20 amps: a 20-amp circuit breaker, a wire that handles 20-amps (#12 or #10) and a 20-amp receptacle.A 20-amp receptacle (Nema 5-20) can accept both a 20... | |
| Using 15 Amp Power Cord in 20 Amp Receptacle If the plug fits the receptacle everything is safe. | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 I would strongly suggest you order the the Schiit Yggdrasil ($2500) for the 15 day trial period. Power it up for seven days then give it a listen. No way you’ll find something "twice as good" for twice the price. In some cases maybe not even as go... | |
| Genesis Digital Lens not working The unit has optocouplers which can also fail after 20 years of constant use, so have the tech test them. Fortunately they are the pin type, still in stock at Mouser and therefore easily replaced. | |
| Opening Record Store Two questions I would ask:Is the guy you're paying rent to the owner of the property? If so, you may consider getting a lease.Is the property in default for taxes, does anyone have liens against the property, etc.? This guy could be out of the pic... | |
| PS Audio Power Plant 15........ Could be the Pass amp just doesn’t like any power conditioners with active devices. | |
| Separate grounded outlet for audio setup I’m assuming you mean an isolated ground, where the grounding back to the panel is separate for each outlet where two or more circuits share the same equipment (metal outlet boxes) grounds.Yes, if you run a separate ground from the outlet to the p... | |
| Are Shakti Stones effective? For me, they work. Significantly. I place them vertically on my 2A3 tube amps between the power and output transformers. Everywhere else (DAC, SS amp, preamp, transport, music server) not at all.Those are the only tweaks I use. | |
| Basic technical question about digital source signals You will see an analog waveform. There is no such thing as a digital stair step waveform because a digital signal does not have a defined value between two points in time. It has only one discrete point, and that point in time is the instantaneous... | |
| Re Building a power Amplifier Without a schematic and bench test equipment (scope, spectrum analyzer, DMM, signal generator, power supplies, dummy loads, etc) you would be facing quite the challenge. |
