| Electrical Power Outlet advice Breaker’s normally will trip at about 80% of the stated value Breakers run for several of seconds at several multiples of the rated value. Trip at rated current is likely a defective breaker. How long depends on the Trip Curve. See Understand... | |
| Electrical Power Outlet advice That's the way we wired studios. Some studios went all the way to the street with separate panels for the lights, air/con, coffee makers, etc. and 100% separate for the audio. In my systems, the audio and entertainment are 100% separate and only ... | |
| Electrical Power Outlet advice First I'd have to eliminate the myriad things which affect sonic impressions: power line variance, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, voice coil temperature, CBLF inconsistencies, etc. I've been at this game for more than ½c. and exper... | |
| Electrical Power Outlet advice Don't run more than one circuit. The induction into two circuits is not identical and the delta may be enough to induce ground noise between interconnected components, particularly if phono is involved. @retiredfarmer please detail how you dete... | |
| Electrical Power Outlet advice Buy American. The stuff from China is utter garbage. You are better off to have an overcurrent circuit [20A] and multiple outlets closely connected that spread outlets on multiple circuits. That being said, a 12ga / 20A circuit at full current dr... | |
| Finding a specific cable Balanced only pay benefits is noisy environments. Improperly done, they can be worse that unbalanced. | |
| Finding a specific cable Unfortunately, I need a 40’ run for. my speaker cables or interconnects (one or the other). I’m looking for the best options. Interconnects should take up most of the distance. Many esoteric speaker cables have LC properties that can wreak hav... | |
| Finding a specific cable That type of cable has high capacitance. Not good for some amplifiers. You can craft similar from ordinary ribbon cable if you must have flat cables. Better performance can be obtained by using woven ribbon. P L E A S E read these before plun... | |
| Moved from medium attic like room to larger room, everything is too bright If you haven't a visit to hunecke.de | Loudspeakers Calculator would be worth a visit. Unfortunately it doesn't allow sealed subs. If it's too daunting, PM me with dimensions and room photos and I'd have a go there and in REW. | |
| Moved from medium attic like room to larger room, everything is too bright @atanarjuat99 The KLH 5 has a couple of nasty resonances slightly below and above 20kHz. Also a rock&roll bottom with a quick fade. What music genres are preferred? See KLH Model Five loudspeaker | Stereophile.com and KLH Model Five loudspe... | |
| Moved from medium attic like room to larger room, everything is too bright IMO, furnishings and artwork accomplish as much as acoustic panels which have a cheezo pseudo art quality. To be effective, bass traps need to be H U G E. A typical control room would have traps front and rear equaling close to 25% of the room v... | |
| Moved from medium attic like room to larger room, everything is too bright Add bookcases - with books, area rugs, plants, chairs, etc. The Romex was a waste of money. | |
| Do Recording Studios Use Silver Cables I’m still stuck on the idea of “silver cables”. I don’t think silver cables are the “best” that would be too much! A lot of high end cable use silver as ell as copper and gold as a blend to tame the silver, ie nordost, siltech, and analysis plus... | |
| Do Recording Studios Use Silver Cables Recording studios are not audiophile dens. Engineers are not fools. Studios do not use simple interconnects with XLRs or RCAs; they use massive bundles with XLRs and multipin connections. Hogwash. Most had walls of individual cables. Sna... | |
| Do Recording Studios Use Silver Cables Correction: The Wall, not DSotM which was recorded @ EMI Studios, now called Abbey Road. |
