| lightning storm @erik_squires Wi-Fi seems like a no brainer for lightening damage mitigation, which is what this topic is about. I have my computer hooked up to the network via CAT8 ethernet wire directly for day trading because latency could be an issue. I have ... | |
| lightning storm @jea48 and @erik_squires Great suggestions but why create any risk at all? I literally have one wall plug for the entire system including the projector, content is streamed in 4K HDR wirelessly for movies, and same for music that isn’t on my ser... | |
| lightning storm I was living in a loft apartment at the time in the end unit of five in a row. I don’t know if the building was grounded properly. I did not have the coax going though a surge protector which probably was the issue as you describe. Of course the l... | |
| Leave it on? I turn everything off after each session. I have a PS Audio P15 and part of its design is that it soft starts everything so there isn't the harsh inrush of current that could be damaging. The other reason is that my system was hit by lightening so... | |
| How reliable is PS audio equipment? I have a P15 Powerplant and used it almost everyday for the past 7 years and it has been rock solid. Love the unit and build quality, it is built like a tank, and backbreaking to move but the stereo sounds amazing with it in. The quality of life i... | |
| lightning storm My system was hit by lightening, it traveled through the coax cable line into my video processor via HDMI and then hit my projector. I had everything on quality surge protectors but it didn't matter. The electrician I took the equipment to for ins... | |
| Experience with stacked subwoofers? @m-db The manufacturer manual has them noted to reach down to 12Hz, I let them go as low as they want and they cut off around 80Hz. To answer placement these towers are right next to the main speakers about 5ft and 7ft off back wall respectively (... | |
| Experience with stacked subwoofers? @dbastin Haha. Yes I guess you could count them that way. I certainly don’t lack any base in music or movies and the room is loaded effortlessly. I integrate them using an active crossover using 12 biquads per channel made from using Room EQ Wizar... | |
| Experience with stacked subwoofers? I have four subs total in the system and the main subs are Kinergetics SW-800 sub towers with five 10” Seas individually inclosed subwoofers in the cabinet. The other two are SVS SB-16 Ultras. They all sound amazing together! Good luck! Thanks... | |
| How close are you to being to your endgame? My system outline and I'm almost there. Congrats on getting there! I’m 99% finished and don’t think it really can get much better. I’ve thought that somewhere out there it could be better and often think so when I go to AXPONA and hear the megabuck systems but slowly and surely I have u... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? @russbutton Awesome detail, I wish more people understood how critical it is to learn how to use and active crossover to get the best out of the music, speakers, amps, and the room. I was an early adopter of the dspNexus from Danville Signal Proce... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? I ripped out my passive crossovers in my Magnepan 20.1 and have an active crossover from Danville Signal Processing using the DSP Nexus 2x8 and apply room correction and time alignment via 12 biquads per channel. The results are stunning. Why both... | |
| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? @hiendmmoe Yes I think you are right. | |
| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? Almost done. . . I just returned from AXPONA and had a fantastic time. It’s a tradition for my family to go each year and love every minute. We heard many amazing expensive systems and it was really exciting to hear the flagship Magicos along with... |
