| Using Japan 100V Accuphase amp in US 120V. Safe? I agree with Atmasphere. Don't run it at 120V. A good analogy would be running a car engine 20% past the redline for extended periods. You can use a Variac or a Variable Autotransformer. This is a transformer with 120V input, and 0-120V output var... | |
| Taking audio too seriously? Unsound - then make sure you and your runners have their sneakers Cryo'ed ;) | |
| Taking audio too seriously? D'OH!!! | |
| Monster Amps, why so cheap? The five channel is new, and won't be discounted as much. | |
| Syd Barret - RIP ...and no TW.;) | |
| Should we upgrade high end fuses? I do believe Dopogue and others when they say there is an audible difference. But from what I know about electronics, it shouldnt make a difference. 120 Volts AC comes thru the fuse/power switch/power transformer primary circuit, and through a mag... | |
| Syd Barret - RIP Big Floyd fan here. Got a question. In your opinions, how different would the band's music be if Syd had remained with the band? | |
| Taking audio too seriously? Well, I've got six seperate stereo systems in my bedroom - I'm just a crazy audio equipment nut.Unsound - you got ripped. I know where you can get all 9 Planets Aligned for only $15M above what you paid! | |
| Monster Amps, why so cheap? Agree with Porschecab. The MSRP was $2500 for the 2-channel and $3K for the 3-channel. Large quantites of them won't move fast at that price, hence the liquidation-style selloff. I got mine (2-channel) about a year ago off eBay, and now you can ge... | |
| Mundorf Silver/Gold in Oil Supreme Caps Any Good? Oil? Hopefully the oil in question is not PCB's like some old oil-filled caps. | |
| Pressing eject instead of stop damaging dvd player My guess is that most DVD (and CD) players have logic built in that 1)Stop the DVD 2) Eject the tray when the Eject button is pushed. If there was any kind of risk doing that it would be on a DVD player like my $60.00 Toshiba Wal-Mart Special, not... | |
| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase Whats a wife? | |
| where to plug in the dac and transport With such good equipment you got, it probably doesn't matter. Does it sound good now? | |
| Should we upgrade high end fuses? Rx8man - nothing illegal there, just the fact that IF your house burns down, your insurance company MIGHT refuse to pay the claim IF it finds out the bypassed fuse was to blame. But even then, you obvously have to have some kind of short-circuit f... | |
| Pet Peeves - my Rants and Raves If someone is going to use those 'peanuts' - they ought to be the dissolvable kind that are made out of cornstarch. Just dump them in the sink - turn on the water - no more peanuts. Probably the reason these are not more widely used is (I bet) tha... |
