| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ It goes between hot and neutral without exploding?Refrigerators run colder but kilowatt hours are constant?What we have here is a single-phase power factor correction device. Or, a five grand capacitor. | |
| Bias adjustment on solid state amplifiers SS bias need not ever (almost ever) be adjusted if no rail caps or output devices are replaced during the normal lifespan of an amplifier, or if there is no trim pot drift/failure.Once upon a time you would find the bias procedure and values in th... | |
| Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important? Because amplifiers don’t deliver watts. (How many watts of light does a lamp deliver? Depends on the bulb, i.e., the load).What they mean is that amplifier wattage is rated at load of 8 ohms and any change in that load will demand more current fro... | |
| List iof 192khz/24bit music in Qobuz Tap the album image then go to description. That’s the only way I know without playing the tracks first. | |
| Should manufacturers provide circuit schematics & parts list? If I manufactured an amplifier I wouldn't provide a schematic. Don't want to get sued if you poke around and hurt yourself or start a fire. | |
| anybody buying into magnetic levitation "eliminates the effects of any vibration" ? I don't buy it at all. The people who have an economic interest in vibration isolation aren't playing around with magnets. They offer products that work:https://www.newport.com/c/table-top-isolation-platforms | |
| Technology in speakers.... I've had the $4,000 Thiel 3.6's since the early 1990's and haven't found anything that would want me to replace them. I am blessed that I can afford to easily spend much more than $15,000 on speakers if I so choose, as the Magico S5 MkII almost te... | |
| Tinnitus Same here. Always had a little ringing thanks to flying lessons without headphones when in my early twenties. A couple of years ago the ringing got worse and the doctor recommended steroids. No thanks. My chiropractor said is was a result of the n... | |
| Krell fpb 250m It is a major issue because that breaker is the amplifier/speaker protection. If the breaker trips with the speakers connected and stays on with the speaker cables disconnected, it is probably a short in the speaker and not an amplifier issue. If ... | |
| Is OPPO worth the inflated price? Who are the buyers? People exactly like you. The reason "you had your eye on it for some time" is the same reason others do also. The price is not inflated, it is the market value. | |
| What is your approach to system fine tuning with cables and cords ? If you haven't spent the better part of a weekend moving your speakers a quarter inch here a quarter inch there while toeing in a degree or two at a time, then you haven't even met your weak link. | |
| Accuphase c3850 VS Cat SL1 Pre If you get the Cat SL1, make sure it has the 6922 driver tube instead of the 12AU7. Those would be from the models SL1 Signature Mk III and up to the present day.Caveat: the older Cat preamps do not have a high/low gain setting and their 25 dB of ... | |
| Is it just me or has Quboz crashed? I'm on the beta (in the U.S.) and I have glitches such as some HR albums play at 16/44.1 along with some of the newer releases (especially Chandos) only have 30 seconds of each track. What I'm hearing is that these go away once you are on full sub... | |
| Krell KSA 250 amps I disagree with your assessment about charging more if you have them repaired. You still have an amplifier that is pushing 30 years old (think of it as rebuilding an engine on a 30 year-old car -- the transmission can go next, followed by...). The... | |
