| Where have all the protest songs gone? War, famine, homelessness...shame. Let someone sing about it. Heaven forbid you get off your ass to do something about it. Listen to a song, and feel better knowing that just by doing so, you care. Then go drop $2 grand for a power cord while you ... | |
| Where to buy fuse for fuse panel? Is this new panel for fuses or circuit breakers? Where did you get it? Send me an email with the info on the inside front cover (if you can scan the installation sheet even better) and I'll get back to you with specifics. | |
| Would 1 of those cat trees make a good bass trap? Hmmm... using cats as bass traps. Here kitty kitty... | |
| Why do AC cords make so much difference? The better ones do a good job of filtering out common mode noise from electrical and magnetic fields and also filter noise from equipment (digital) to the outside. But not surprising, some of the cheaper ones can do as good of a job, if not better... | |
| Fuses on dedicated lines instead of breakers ??? Running wire(s) from the panel to your "fuse box" might be against code as these wires do not have overcurrent protection. With very few exceptions, the entire length of any branch wire must be protected starting from the main panel unless your lo... | |
| Where to buy fuse for fuse panel? Is your fuse panel old? If it is, you probably have the newer S-Type fuses and are attempting to place them in Edison base fuse holders. S-types are smaller in diameter for a given amp rating than an Edison. Go to a Home Depot, ask for "Edison Bas... | |
| Center image on left side and don't know why Curious to know what a Radio Shack SPL meter set up one foot from each speaker with a test signal (e.g., Stereophile Test CD bass, mid and treble decades) would read. | |
| Center image on left side and don't know why Are both speakers exactly the same distance from you? | |
| 2A3 vs. 300B single end triode.... I prefer the 2A3 overall for classical such as string quartets, small scale orchestral and jazz; music that rarely utilize instruments where low frequency extension is required. While the 300B gives a better lower frequency extension and twice the... | |
| Blowing Fuses in a Tube Amp You also could have an output tube with an internal short. If you have a tube tester, you can find out right away, or you can simply replace the tube.Or, you may have the wrong fuse type. If your amp requires a time delay (slow blow) fuse and you ... | |
| From tubes to solid state. What do you loose... I don't think you lose anything...there are plenty of SS amps out there that will give you "transparency, timbral acuracy, micro dynamics and soundstage". | |
| Do you leave your SS amp on all the time? Leaving the amps on generally makes 'em sound better, but some do stabilize after an hour or so to the point where leaving them on longer makes no difference. Depends what you have; my Levinson mono's sound their best after 24 hours, my ARC peaked... | |
| would this Deter you from buying used gear???? Good Lord, everybody... just engrave the serial number above the metal tag with the factory s/n, or on the bottom chassis if you're concerned about theft. This is proof of ownership without having to put your name, rank, SSN, D/L#, blood type, wha... | |
| Preamps for dummies that would be me The function of a preamp is to increase the gain of the source component in order for the power amplifier to gain it up to a level where it can drive the speakers. Preamps were once absolutely necessary when the source was LP's. It was, and still ... | |
| Phase and time alligned speakers Your first paragraph is like an abstract for an MIT white paper. Check out MIT's web site under "technology". |
