Classe move to China
Magfan,Imagine, that restaurant you own poisoned and killed many people. There are many lawsuits against you, but you announced bankruptcy, judge waived off any legal action against you (while restaurant still operates) and next day you register t...

"Kijanki, are you listening to what we are saying or what? "Yes, I do, but understanding you is the hard part.

"Not sure who taught them how to screw up with nuclear power though"Perhaps we did.In 1979 "Three Mile Island" accident we managed to make meldown and release of radioactive gases plus 40,000galons of radioactive waste into the river without any E...

"Yeah, who do you think taught Japanese how to make cars"You mean cars like Edsel, Chevy Corvair., Ford Maveric, Ford Pinto, Ford Tempo, Ford Taurus, Chevy Vega, Chevy Chevette, Chevy Citation, AMC Pacer, AMC Gremlin, Doge Omni, Plymouth Horizon, ...

Onhwy61 - Please don't mention Chevy Vega. I'm still trying to forget the one I had in 80s. Same goes for 1986 Ford Taurus - even bigger piece of shit. My current 16 year old Toyota Avalon, built in Kentucky, works like Swiss watch. No repairs, no... 
Loss of inner detail
"I don't agree"There is no error in my previous statement. If you can afford cable that has perfect impedance matching and perfect shielding then nothing matters - I agree, but unfortunately cables that we can afford have some deficiencies and som... 
Loss of inner detail
Steve, the fact is that poorly impedance matched cable will work better with slow slew rate transport while poorly shielded cable will work better with high slew rate transport. It is synergy unless you can find perfect cable ($$$$). For that reas... 
Loss of inner detail
Steve, High slew rate transport will work fine with poorly shielded digital cable but it will create a lot of jitter with poor characteristic impedance matching.Slow slew rate transport will create more noise susceptibility (needs good shielding) ... 
Tweeter replacement
Maplegrovemusic - I've done that in Paradigm studio 60s V2 using the best soft dome tweeter I could afford - Morel Supreme 110. I put a lot of effort and time into it to fail at the end. I've spent endless hours modifying crossover (using expensiv... 
Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier?
Bifwynne, No input signal is OK. Tube amps need load, SS amps don't.SS amp might fail when input signal is present and output shorted (overcurrent). I've heard that some poorly designed class D amps might go into oscillation without load but likel... 
Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier?
Bifwynne, 6 months is nothing. You can safely plug it in. Caps go bad after at least few years unpowered. 
AudioEngine A5 hook-up question
AE has high jitter (2400ps) on analog outs. It is better to use it with Toslink and a DAC (258ps).http://www.stereophile.com/digitalprocessors/505apple 
Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier?
Spinaker01 - Drying of the electrolyte increases ESR of capacitor. When it gets into many ohm range it becomes very audible and after that it might even go to thermal runaway since current going thru cap x ESR = Heat but temperature increases ESR ... 
Active/Passive Bass Correction Dilema
Ekwisnek, There are subs that do automatic correction with microphone. JL Audio Fathom is one of them. I found this on their website:"When you add a subwoofer to a music system, you face two challenges: integrating the subwoofer into the room so i... 
Music and gear
This hobby has known small drawbacks like divorce, foreclosure etc. Friend of mine divorced husband that had 7 motorcycles - it happens, but it is only temporary setback. Can you sell all your speakers and buy one great pair with possible high WAF...
