| Can temperature fluctuations affect audio gear? Sitting by a window with outdoor temp of 50F,little transferSitting By a window with outdoor temp of 0 F,great transfer,and it takes place both ways.At 0 F high rate of heat out,at same time,high rate of cold transferring in at 0 F.The more extrem... | |
| Can temperature fluctuations affect audio gear? Everything in engineering is most likely C.Another example would be heat and A/C.If room temp is 70F and blows through a/c coil @ 40F great transfer.If room temp is 70F and blows through a/c coil @ 60F littletransfer.If room temp is 70F and blows ... | |
| Can temperature fluctuations affect audio gear? If the internal temp rises faster than the case could dissipate it,I would think it would keep rising,until failure.Don't forget,semiconductors operate at Celsius ratings.Look at the temperatures Almarg gave earlier. | |
| Can temperature fluctuations affect audio gear? 12-06-10: Bigbucks512-05-10: MagfanIt would seem that as the ambient temperature and temperature of the electronics got closer and closer, the amount of HEAT transferred would get less and less. It maybe that BigBucks is right, but I don't see it.... | |
| Can temperature fluctuations affect audio gear? Having no formal education on the subject,let me give my two cents anyway.Use F with these examples.Semiconductor@90f mounted to heatsink @ 30f.High transfer Semiconductor@90f mounted to heatsink @ 50f Good transferSemiconductor@90f mounted to hae... | |
| recording shows from cable TV? That HDHomerun with the Cable Card option might not be on the market yet.I'm not up to date on computer based gear.But,I'm guessing a cable card option may be still needed,for the Tennis Channel,that involves any premium channel recording done wit... | |
| Fuse question I don't know your amp,but that sounds more like an amps power consumption rating.The fuses in it most likely have a single rating on them.IE,5 amp 250 volts,or 5 amp,125 volts.If it doesn't say where the fuse is mounted,let someone who knows, see ... | |
| Proper use volume control? To give the user the volume they want to stay happy,as long as nothing gets abused.Everyone has their own preference,and I don't think you'll find a common standard.Younger people seem to lean toward louder in general. | |
| What's more important, watts or capacitance? Like Stan said,large caps aren't a guarantee of a better amp.A company may have a smaller power transformer,with bigger caps,and give good short time needed power.An amp with a big power transformer,and smaller caps,can give you that same power on... | |
| Can temperature fluctuations affect audio gear? I think the OP of this thread can get away with running his gear in a 85 degree room,as long as the gear has good ventilation.At 85 degrees,he'll probably have a fan making a nice breeze up there.His owners manual would be the best guide.I don't t... | |
| recording shows from cable TV? Links for cable card if needed in place of box if it is a premium service.[http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/hdhomerun-developing-a-dual-cablecard-network-tuner-for-249/][http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CableCARD] | |
| recording shows from cable TV? The HDHomerun does have a cable card option.I didn't check the others.If it is premium,the OP may still have to get the tuner card(that plugs into this device)from TWC,and may have to pay extra for it,and ask TWC if it will work. | |
| recording shows from cable TV? IN my area,the cable company charges a premium for the Tennis Channel.A friend who plays tennis in a different area,different cable company,also pays extra for the Tennis Channel.With that said,if Goldenears has to pay a premium to receive it,he w... | |
| More Grounding Questions Maybe,I'm thinking your reference to the AC ground as the neutral.Hopefully,It has the outlet supply ground tied to the chassis.I'm still thinking,if it isn't broke,don't fix it. | |
| More Grounding Questions Thanks Heyraz. Let me provide more info. My main power amp has both AC ground and signal/circuit ground wired to the chassis.I don't think I've ever seen that in audio gear.If someone used a cheater plug that can reverse the neutral,and the hot ph... |
