IM Distortion, Speakers and the Death of Science
Oh come on, I can easily fix that just by changing my speaker cables? Little things acoustic things on my walls? Cable risers?  NO?  :-) 
Gaining listening experience without spending money
This is a hobby that people have spent rich amounts of money on, not a rich mans hobby. It is no different from any other hobby where people either with the cash, or through sacrifice have spent huge sums ... and just like other hobbies, that does... 
Tuning Collars on speaker cables - concept and any good?
Sure, you send me collars and I will test. I am fully set up, likely much better than the companies selling these. However, I am not in the habit of doing a vendor’s sales engineering for them, but in this case I will make an exception.Are you vol... 
Tuning Collars on speaker cables - concept and any good?
Which could be verified in about 2 minutes with an oscilloscope ... So the supplier must have scope plots on their web page of course?  .... We can just ignore that transmission line effects are impedance based and position of the collar would be ... 
Tuning Collars on speaker cables - concept and any good?
Are you in an artificial world?When discussing audiophilia, this is often a question I wonder. 
Tuning Collars on speaker cables - concept and any good?
Tuning collars are awesome for people who don't understand the difference between common mode and differential mode signal rejection.Common mode noise is noise that appears on both signal wires equally. If the signal appears on both signal wires e... 
I need advice on bi amping
With amps that old, careful about channel to channel and amp to amp matching.  If you have an AC volt-meter and a test CD, you can measure it fairly accurately, just keep the frequency at 400Hz and lower on your test signal.  Run the test CD, and ... 
I need advice on bi amping
Clearthink,You should probably spend less time on feeble attempts to discredit other posters here, while not offering up any evidence or knowledge to forward an attempt at discrediting, and spend less time on insulting other people here, and spend... 
I need advice on bi amping
Bi-Amp DOES NOT require an external crossover. There is already a cross-over in your speakers, making it impossible for the amplifier to supply power at any frequencies other than what the speaker can take them at.In almost all woofer crossover ci... 
I need advice on bi amping
Clearthink, Long on superlatives, and insults, as usual conveying absolutely no information and bringing nothing to the conversation.To the op, you can ignore "posts" like these from people just out to insult others. Speaker "power" specs are near... 
New old or old new?
I can probably find adequate 35-45 amplification, but speaker design has come so far, that nothing 35-45 years old is going to keep up with something modern that is good.  
I need advice on bi amping
I am sure there will be many different opinions, but unless you have inadequate wire, especially thin gauge, bi-wiring is unlikely to offer much if any improvement. Ignore the specs for power on the speakers. They tend to be a bit meaningless and ... 
I need advice on bi amping
What "more" are you looking for?Bi-Amping can often bring some benefits if you are taxing the amp with bass, but with the subs, I would assume you are not pushing the amp very hard?It's an old amp, lot has changed. If you feel you must have a new ... 
How to remove ground pin on power cable
UL943 governs GFCI in the US, with Mexico/Canada having similar specs, and I believe EN specs are similar.- 2003 update to improve surge suppression to protect components.- 2006 updated to detect some miswiring- 2015 added automated testing and a ... 
Cross-talk and distortion, chief soundstage contributors...
We already started digital remember? There is no conversion. If you start with a digital source no analog crossover (signal level) will ever touch a digital crossover.
