| Power factor correction implementation? In industrial use, Power Factor Correction (PFC) is achieved by programmable AC sources, very simply put a frequency generator for high power. They are used when the AC varies a lot and/or low distortion (THD) is required for example, a lab or m... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Very tempted to buy some AH. Like most of you, I have been using the SR Red for a while (yes, they are directional, same as caps but that's for another thread) and am very happy with it, no downside compared to the others that I have/had. Still ke... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Eager to hear comments re the adapters as I am considering them for the center and surround channels of my home theater some day and really can not imagine to have CT1-x cabling there.I have CT1U in both systems and love them, just hoping there wo... | |
| Swiss amps. Worth the price? Bonjour wisnon, je m'excuse. I am getting rusty. Your second paragraph should give me the hint that you're francophone ("Cant be a Swiss sound"), the germanophone would have translated something like There is no (Es gibt kein...) I seem to prefe... | |
| Cable Cooking/Burnin For for those who have the Audiodharma Cable Cooker or any other commercial cable cooker: have you tried to find out what kind of signal is going through the cables? Even if you're not a DIY person, you can clamp a cheap full range speaker/drive... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Anyone interested in a group buy from Alan (Audiodharma Cable Cooker)?And has anyone tried the single core WE 16ga? +1 curious about the journey of the V-Twist. Chris is usually right. | |
| Swiss amps. Worth the price? Fond memories of the Swiss Alps, deep blue lakes and clean streets comes in my mind. The Montreux Jazz Festival in is one of my life time highlights. Having lived in many countries in Western Europe, I refer to German Swiss as the most correct b... | |
| Quality Power Cord You can also split the $500 budget for a very good wall socket like the Furutech GTX-D (r) and a Triode Wire Labs 8+ or 7+ or HiDiamond P3. The wall socket upgrade is definitely the first thing to do and should also benefit the other component tha... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable It seems that the OP got more than he bargained for, soliciting input on the perceived value of cables. FWIW, I have really tried very hard with lamp cords, DIY cables but there is a limit (mechanical, metallurgical, chemical) that is reached whe... | |
| Another unconventional power cord test? Pops, as always, design matters and PC won't make (much of) a different if the design is excellent. You have probably a such a linestage.Indeed I have noticed with some great power amps (e.g. Jeff Rowland) that there is little the PC can influenc... | |
| Another unconventional power cord test? Filtering and blocking noise from one device to another is done by few power conditioners, most just hook the sockets in parallel, a design choice but IME not a good one. Audience adept Response have all filters in each socket just to avoid electr... | |
| Has anyone changed terminal connectors (RCA or spades) on Nordost speaker cable? As long as you ensure the termination if properly done, there should not be any problems. In my study I have done a similar operation on Red Dawn SC. In your case I wonder if it is more economical to sell the very good Tyr 2 SC and DIY yourself or... | |
| Granny ring, Jetrexpro, all As for ICs, I have using Mogami 2549 terminated with Canare F10 plugs for my Home Theater setup except the L / R channels, where the (too) expensive HFC CT1Us reside. Would be very grateful if anyone can share his/her experiments with magnets. Wil... | |
| Granny ring, Jetrexpro, all Second that! I have learnt a ton from knowledgeable folks who don't mind to share their experience. The (high end) audio industry has been associated too long with snobs / old farts (which includes me) until the barrage of new headphones gave it s... | |
| Granny ring, Jetrexpro, all /Grannyring: thanks for the info. I tried the NC P311 before, prefer the more solid construction of the Furutech F11 but with the current P302/P311 RH variants discounted ($35 at PartsConnexion) it is hard to pass up on them. BTW the original purp... |
