| "Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better! Question for the group, is it true that post pressing vinyl there is a "lubricant" applied (or possibly the release agent?) that persists until you clean it off? Is there any reasson to preserve this for sake of record wear or is this a wives' tale? | |
| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? With respect for akg_ca's response, my most musical mid-fi integrated was the Onix OA21 with SOAP. Old British amp with simple design and great phono preamp wasn't a power house, but worthy of consideration. | |
| Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing? How about another old classic: "Drinking Song" or "Drink, Drink, Drink" is a song composed by Sigmund Romberg with lyrics by Dorothy Donnelly1. It is the most popular piece in the 1924 operetta, The Student Prince. Great piece of vinyl! | |
| Home network router question Question for the IT guys, isn't a mesh network supported by nodes in a hierarchy with each node connected by WIFI? So if you Ethernet cable to a node, you are still ultimately using an RF signal (WIFI) rather than a direct Ethernet connection to y... | |
| classe cdt-1 10 years old....good buying?? I've had one purchased in 2001 and it's still going strong. I believe it uses an Analogue Devices DAC which was state of the art at the time. Honestly my only reference (besides analogue table) is a Schiit Bifrost II fed by a PC. I prefer the Clas... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? Any recommendations in the $1k budget range? | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? I too have been on the fence about investing in a dedicated streamer. Currently I'm using a Dell micro PC with a USB feed to a Schitt Bifrost DAC. From what I'm hearing, could I do better with the bespoke gear? | |
| 15 amp circuit VS. 20 amp Circuit And also presupposes a dedicated feed for your audio gear, as I was alluding to in my original post. | |
| 15 amp circuit VS. 20 amp Circuit PS Some equipment is designed to run on 220 VAC; I recommend that for any high power gear as it minimizes the IR losses (voltage drop) in your feeds. | |
| 15 amp circuit VS. 20 amp Circuit bigtwin Exactly correct, wattage rating for a particular appliance is a UL/CE requirement based on very specific tests and results. As I mentioned, those power levels (continuous) are unheard of in home audio. The dimming lights is another issue ... | |
| 15 amp circuit VS. 20 amp Circuit invalid Sorry to agree to disagree. What you are referring to is the instantaneous peak load response and what you would call droop in that particular measurement, measured in microseconds. To some extent effected by wire gauge and contact resist... | |
| 15 amp circuit VS. 20 amp Circuit Tempest in a tea cup. The power draw (E x I) from an average home audio system is negligible, unless you're running quad Class A mono blocks at 100 wpc each to supplement your home heating system. Even 200/300 wpc class AB amps average less than 5... | |
| 15 amp circuit VS. 20 amp Circuit Most responses are correct. The most important factor is to dedicate the power supply run to your audio console; i.e., run a 12/2 cable (with ground) directly from your power entry panel in your home/apt. to a dedicated outlet for your audio gear.... | |
| Wilson Watt 3/Puppy 2 Loudspeaker dishman442 Wilson sadly does not stock all legacy drivers. My Cubs had Focal tweeters (inverted dome) which suffered surround rot. I could not get replacements from Wilson or Focal. | |
| Wilson Watt 3/Puppy 2 Loudspeaker I had a pair of Cubs that I miss dearly, one of the best nearfields I've owned. What makes Wilson a legend is the way they tune their products and construction quality, matched components, etc. Lot's of opinions but speakers are perhaps the most s... |
