| Audible Buzz from Lexicon: dimmers & microwave? Jea, specifically to the type of lights on the dimmers, they are regular incandescent lights. They vary in wattage but are mostly the 65watt recessed lights. | |
| Audible Buzz from Lexicon: dimmers & microwave? Thanks for the responses all!! On Monday I ordered the PS Audio Hum Buster III. Sorry Gbart!!! It's scheduled to arrive today, so we'll see how that goes. My personal preference is to obviously deal with this at the electrical level. I have stoppe... | |
| Audible Buzz from Lexicon: dimmers & microwave? One more question here.... is there anything specific in terms of tests or meters, etc. that I can tell the electrician. It's obvious that the electricians are not used to seeing a high end home theater/music setup and are really baffled by this. ... | |
| Audible Buzz from Lexicon: dimmers & microwave? Thanks for this Dave. Really great info. I'm wondering if anyone else has a way to deal with this at the panel and isolate my A/V gear?? Jea, this is a good link but I'm not an electrician and not sure what this means in practical terms. I've had ... | |
| Is 7.1 better than 5.1 Here is my experience. I have had both 7.1 and 5.1. The issue for me is that I have a large, open room where my setup is. Ceilings are cathedral and slanted and the room is not symmetrical. It's open space is something like 18x25 with ceilings at ... | |
| What voltage can damage audio equipment? Awesome! Thanks for the quick response on this. | |
| Arcam to Proceed remote trigger Here's the answer about the pulse and the converter. http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/amp/messages/13/135611.htmlYou need a pulsed switching module and the Xantech 599-00 pulsed switching module apparently does the trick. | |
| Arcam to Proceed remote trigger Hi,This is NORMAL with the AMP2 and AMP3. There was an article online and I'll send it to you if I can refind it. It has something to do with the triggering mechanism and another pulse is needed. There's an adapter that will do this with a standar... | |
| AIFF format vs. CD With Apple lossless as a the compression codec, you are not losing quality at all as it's a lossless codec. AAC, MP3, etc. are lossy codecs and introduce compression artifacts given their nature unless you are encoding at extremely high bitrates, ... | |
| AIFF format vs. CD I am sure that someone will chime in on low level info but AIFF is basically uncompressed digital audio from the CD source and I'd the default format on Mac computers. In theory they should be identical quality because you are playing the actual d... | |
| "popping" when moving to balanced cables on Amp ok if I power the amp up last and turn it off first then that solves all popping issues. In other words if there is power to the speakers and I turn the preamp on then that is when I get the popping.So I would assume that is the issue. I really wa... | |
| "popping" when moving to balanced cables on Amp Ok, now I'm perplexed.1) I recalibrated all my speakers and took down the L and R about 6 decibels so that they are now at "THX reference" with the balanced connections.2) I tested a series of sequences with power on and power off and took my amp ... | |
| "popping" when moving to balanced cables on Amp Thanks john. I just got back from a trip so assuming I can stay awake I will try it out tonight :-) | |
| "popping" when moving to balanced cables on Amp Thanks for the prompt responses!What I'm going to try is this:1) I have the Antem pre AVM-20 and the 2-Channel MCA-20 amp set with triggers. So when I power the AVM 20 pre down it also turns off the MCA-20. I will try turning the amp off first man... | |
| "popping" when moving to balanced cables on Amp I disconnected the RCA first-thing so that I only had the balanced connected. The balanced cables are brand new.The question is what is normally the cause of this type of "popping" when you turn off an amplifier. I always recall that my audio syst... |
