| Yet another Grounding Question-Separate 'Earth' I strongly suggest you check with the local building department or electrical inspector before you let this electrician do any work. The subpanel is not a separate electrical source since it is in the same building as the service. Therefore it mus... | |
| Anyone ever try ear candles for better listening? Pardon my ignorance, but I thought that wax had to be melted before it can be drawn up through the wick. Why not just go to a drug store and buy the Murine kit. It's not as new-age as sticking a lit candle in your rear (umm...ear) but it works nev... | |
| panels vs cones which is best and why ? All speaker designs have pros and cons. If panels had no negatives, so to speak, then that type of speaker will be in demand and the market will dump the other designs to sell what everybody wants to buy.The choice usually falls to what you are lo... | |
| neutrality & transparency: what's the difference ? I would argue the other way. Use photography as an analogy. If you enlarge a photo and the color balance of the enlargement is identical, then the process is neutral. That is, no colors are highlighted or muted (a stereo system is basically a sign... | |
| Need help to trouble shoot the noisy amp. If you cannot identify a problem, you cannot fix it. Please leave it alone. Power supplies are dangerous even with the unit disconnected (those big capacitors can pack a lethal punch). | |
| Amps, Cables and Current: A Question That 65-amp currennt delivery is misleading. You wall outlets are supposed to deliver 20-amps. If you short it out with a piece of copper, you could get as much as 10,000 amps short-circuit current. The 65-amp "peak current" is the same thing - wh... | |
| Humidity question - please try to answer... Humidity does go up when it rains... as for why it sounds better:As the humidity increases, speed of sound increases and sound power attenuation (by absorption) decreases. All because air density decreases as the relative humidity increases. This ... | |
| Isolation Theory Question When you say "... I seem to prefer", you said everything. As for looking to vibration theory for guidance, I have yet to see any vibration mfr, reviewer or dealer put forth a reason for why one strategy is better than others and back it up by appl... | |
| Small gauge ground wire, is it OK? Wire that's rated for 15-amps must have a No. 14 ground and wire rated for 20-amps must have a No. 12 ground. Eldartford, even though you are correct that no current flows through the ground, it's purpose is to act as a secondary path back to the ... | |
| How to determine high current amplifiers Don't worry about current and voltage. Look for your target watts per channel into 8 ohms. Then see what the power is at 4 ohm, and, if given, 2 ohm loads. If the power increases considerably with decreasing loading, then the amp is powerful enoug... | |
| Accurate vs Musical All speakers lose their ability to be accurate once placed in a listening room. Early reflections, modal nodes, etc., all play a part in reducing the realism to a certain degree even if the speaker is 100 percent true to source. Also, IMO, a more ... | |
| How much current? 1. Dedicated lines are a good investment and will provide a benefit in terms of minimizing power anomalies from other users and less noise from things such as light ballasts, switching power supplies (computers) and household motors on the same ci... | |
| High priced power cable what about the romex Your power cable can act as an antenna that picks up noise from magnetic fields and radio interference which is all around. If the power cord is shielded properly, then it will minimize the introduction of noise from these EMI/RF fields.It does ab... | |
| Speaker Distortion or Room Interaction ? And while we're guessing, what is your idea of an "upgrade"? | |
| 20 amp dedicated lines Are the amps new? If so, I would either try another amplifier or let the JC's warm up for a few days and see if there's a difference. The JC's takes a while to settle in. If it's not the amps, it may range from something trivial like out of phase ... |
