| Is revealing always good? In my revealing system some CDs were unbearable but changing speakers solved the problem. Now it is even more revealing but never bright. There might be many reasons for brightness including some metal dome tweeters, amps with deep negative feedba... | |
| Please help a rookie; 8-year-old laptop music serv Mike, what you need is Almarg. | |
| Got Static? Humidifiers attached to furnace usually have control - a humidistat that you can set to desired humidity. Also it requires some maintenance - changing screens or filter every year. If it is Aprilair style with air going thru screen, like mine, you... | |
| Got Static? Perhaps your heating system had humidifier that recently stopped working. You could just spray clean water on the carpet to wet it and humidify the room, but it would be better to buy cheap humidifier and place it next to your system. I would get ... | |
| Large banana plugs for 10 awg speaker cable Does it have to be banana plug? Can you crimp spades. | |
| Question on speaker hookup wire upgrade Wrap them as tight as you can (twisted pair). It will increase capacitance and resistance (both not important) and reduce inductance (also not important with the woofer). What might be important is reduction of ambient electrical noise that wires ... | |
| surge protection & noise? Rsjm80, I use Furman Elite 20 PFi. PF stands for power factor correction - in short big inductor and big capacitor. On one hand it appear as load closer to resistive but on the other can provide high current to the load (because of mentioned capac... | |
| XLR vs RCA Al, overall gain might be 6dB higher making it uncomfortable to adjust volume. Poor design for no reason. | |
| XLR vs RCA This voltage gain is furthre reduced in power amp to achieve the same overall game. The only difference is better noise immunity. | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Mceljo, there are thing that cannot be measured but still can be optimized. You can see (oscilloscope) and hear the evidence of Transient Intermodulation but it is very hard and there are no standards to measure it. In addition amplifier with grea... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Scvan, even assuming that we know everything (we had no idea about existence of transient intermodulation until 70') certain things might be very difficult to measure. How do you propose to measure signal propagation speed in the cable or characte... | |
| Would vinyl even be invented today? That's right Scvan - He invited internet as a great invention, but people twisted his words.... :) | |
| XLR vs RCA Balanced cables offer better noise rejection, are locking and have pins protected from touching. On the other hand they require additional circuitry on both ends. I use balanced interconnect because my amplifier doesn't even have RCA input. | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Scvan, don't forget to measure amplifiers and speakers as well, because as we all know if things measure the same they have to sound the same and when they measure better they have to sound better :) | |
| How to protect my amp without changing the sound? Ssglx, was it by any chance Elite DMi? (or Elite 15i)Furman Elite 15 DMi or 15i don't have high current outputs and high current capability of Elite PFi. |
