| Why Single-Ended? Thanks Almargif you google around you will find debate on whether a cartridge is balanced, as I see it that really doesn't matter. The important thing is how you deal with it. if you transformer couple it with a center tapped secondary then that w... | |
| Why Single-Ended? Lowrider, I see what you are asking"the reason a manufacturer designs a SE component and why in today’s HiFi environment (which includes many fully-balanced components), does not offer a balanced option in their product line"You could ask the same... | |
| Why Single-Ended? Thanks Charles,One final point. I don't mean to disparage Ralph or anyone else for promoting what he sells, well, other than the crackpot selling magic pebbles, flowers, and clocks. Ralph's points have basis in fact and I have no doubt he truly ... | |
| Why Single-Ended? https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/balanced-is-inherently-flawedhere's a post I started 12 years ago on the same topic. I admit I did it just to start a debate, but shows how this has been ongoing since the beginning of audio and will never be... | |
| Why Single-Ended? a very tired topic which has been debated ad nauseam. Ralph always beats the balanced drum as that is what he sells. Others beat the SE drum because that is what they sell, Look through the old posts and find as many of these just like this one as... | |
| Resale value of new speakers That’s crazy, why do they care if they pay $24K for a pair of speakers or give you a check for $24K, same amount to them I had roof damage and they cut me a check up front. They don't care if I fix my roof, they just want to settle. I agree with ... | |
| How do you know if your amp is putting out @ Rated Wattage ? The only way to tell how much power it is putting out is to measure it. You would need a signal generator, a large resistor for a dummy load, and either a volt meter or an oscilloscope to measure the output. | |
| Interconnects Google "CAT5 interconnects"It is laughable to some that you can get excellent results with some cheap Ethernet cable and decent connectors, especially those who need to rationalize megabuck cables, but it works.All you have to lose is a little tim... | |
| Should hook I speaker level sub to center or sides I've tried it both ways and there is plenty of bass in both the center and sides. Now the question is which is more accurate. No idea since this is new to me and I have no reference. Next I'll try one hooked to the center and the other to one of t... | |
| APPLE TV - ADDING AUDIO .If your TV has audio out you may be able to use that to feed the NAD.. Apple TV - HDMI - Plasma - Audio output - NADOther than that the only other output from the Apple is toslink so if the NAD can take that it would be the simplest. If needed th... | |
| Solid State Phono Pre-amp Recommendations .I had the Xono for a while and in my system it was too forward, too in your face. I much preferred the earlier Aleph Ono. More reserved and laid back, but I can see where the Xono would work well in a lot of systems.. | |
| Ungrounded power cord: Will I die? .Ooooh, I see how you got confused about the smell, but 480 is a lot more likely to fry you than 120. My bet is if you had grabbed 480 you wouldn't be around to tell your story. | |
| What is "low ball" .It's funny that you found my, and others, taking offense offensive yourself. Once again, somebody putting words in my mouth. I never said I found it "offensive" or anything even close to that.Why do you feel the need to misquote me and make thing... | |
| What is the crossover point ? .Why would a car price be a line? Some people have no interest in cars other than to get them from here to there and buy cheap ones. Some very wealthy people in large cities don't even own cars.This is one of those questions that seems interesting... | |
| What is "low ball" .you completely missed my point. When my best offer is asked, I have already negotiated against myself. Negotiations are done at that point, period.Why do you believe everyone negotiates like you do?Many will not give you their bottom line at firs... |
