| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows ,Really? Go back and count how many times you have been called out for your attitude. I called you out for posting the same thing over and over; not for what you posted. I saw one other comment directed at you. That requires you to say the same th... | |
| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows .Chad, I'm with DevilboyYou've made basically the same response about 15 timesWe understood your point the first timeWhy do you feel the need to say the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and ov... | |
| Airport extreme to Arcam AVR600 .The Airport Extreme is recommended as a wireless network device but it doesn't have an optical output so it can't be used to feed the Arcam. In fact it has no audio output capabilities. The USB port doesn't support audio either as it is intended ... | |
| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows .Interesting"The lady doth protest too much, methinks." Chad, you've posted over 10 times to this thread and have said basically the same thing every time.I'm beginning to think you sneeze and cough a lot at concerts :>). | |
| Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier? .Rower,Sorry, I just don't have the energy to read your dissertation. I glanced at it and despite your lengthy denial you are in a wordÂ… wrong.Caps do matter.Caps do have a profound effect on how an amp soundsCaps do age and affect the sound.No po... | |
| Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier? .He's a little more specific than "LONG time."From the X150.5 manual....Hardware Facts.. So how long will this hardware last? It is our experience that, barring abuse or the odd failure of a component, the first things to go will be the power supp... | |
| Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier? ,sorry................your rant is just about impossible to followSober up and then formulate a response.Your position that power supply caps don't matter could not be further from the truth. They are the heart and soul of the amp. I build my amps... | |
| Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier? .RowerWhat you say is just plain wrong.Unless it is bulging or leaking fluid it is impossible to visually inspect a cap and determine if it has deteriorated. The capacitance drops and ESR goes up and they leak current and you have no way of knowin... | |
| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows .There are two types of distractions, those that can be controlled and those that can't. ....Coughing and sneezing; hard to imagine somebody would do that on purpose. When you have a large group of people it is inevitable that somebody will cough ... | |
| Do you buy Insurance for Stereo Equipment? ,Looks like we have that settled.......................not. | |
| Hello, I may have a chance to go to .I've been there and it didn't look to me like they were selling things any cheaper but I could be wrong. Be sure to factor in the customs duties you'll have to pay as well as the fact the warranty will be void and no Accuphase dealer will service... | |
| Airport Extreme to DAC .Don't know about those two programs but get one that adjusts playback rates on the fly. Some, like iTunes, are stuck at whatever Audio Midi was set to when they started. So if AM was set to 16/44.1 when iTunes starts it will down sample a 24/96 f... | |
| schematically speaking ,Tweaking a solid state amp would be much more difficult than a tube amp. Tube amps usually have more room to work in and are generally much simpler circuits. Solid state amps on circuit boards would be more difficult. One great benefit is getting... | |
| Speaker suggestions at around $30k .If true there would be more choices. Much more important is the number produced in the first place. Most people keep their cars for a number of years yet there are millions of used ones for sale. I searched Carmax for 4-6 year old Ford Taurus'. T... | |
| Speaker suggestions at around $30k .Matti, the amount of turnover is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is if the thing you want to buy is readily available on the used market. BTW, I agree with you. I buy lots of used stuff.Mapman, I usually don't worry about a warranty. If y... |
