| Surge Suppression vrs. Lighting and Power Spikes "Lightning follows the path of least resistance to ground."That's true but if antenna has to be there grounding ads few feet to building but not grounding can add much more making it higher than surrounding trees and street lamps. | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner Cable nay-sayers feel tremendous need to share their disbelieves posting even on cable forum (posting against cables on cable forum reminds me this deaf guy who answered add for music teacher just to tell them they should not count on him).Don't b... | |
| How many electrons? You want to avoid DC on the output since it creates drift velocity and eventually drains high quality electrons, that you paid for, from your expensive speaker cable.It is likely that it already happened to you. Send me your cables and I will rech... | |
| Surge Suppression vrs. Lighting and Power Spikes I use power conditioner with very tight and non-sacrificial over/under voltage protection but still unplug when at home during thunderstorm.People believe that grounded antenna attracts lightning. It is exactly opposite - ungrounded antenna attrac... | |
| I want to burn hi-rez DVD audio discs. I second Taiyo Yuden - company that invented CDR. Their disks are very high quality and last (in case of CDR) guaranteed 100 years (better photo die). So far I used many hundreds of Taiyo Yuden CDRs and about 50 of DVD-R with no single defect. All... | |
| Audiophile Addiction Cdc - absolutely agree with all your points except being upset not finding Holly Grail. Pleasure is in the chase itself IMHO.One point you made about quality of recordings is very valid. People often talk about great playback of some older recordi... | |
| Zu Omen Defs and Ice Amps? 0.4 ohm is pretty high limiting DF to 20.Here is an example of good inductor for the woofer:http://www.parts-express.com/14-gauge-c-core-toroidal-inductors.cfm | |
| Zu Omen Defs and Ice Amps? DF does not make much difference once it is higher than 100 since inductor in series with the woofer has typical 0.08 ohm making residual DF of 100. Changing amp's DF from 200 to 1000 will make only about 36% difference in overall DF (possibly les... | |
| Benchmark VS Mark levinson 36 DAC ????????? "Perhaps your DAC1 was faulty?" - or it was one of the first Benchmarks with very high output impedance on unbalanced (RCA) outputs? | |
| Zu Omen Defs and Ice Amps? Charles1dad - It is not being defensive but rather irritated with "All D amps suck" statements. | |
| Zu Omen Defs and Ice Amps? "Two of them" - My all thumbs to you but please promise that it will stay 2 (won't turn into 1). | |
| Zu Omen Defs and Ice Amps? Simon - some Rowland amps (like 301) based also on standard Icepower modules with built in SMPS use Power Factor Correction supply in addition that converts 120Hz charging spikes common to 120Hz rectification to smooth full cycle mains current. In... | |
| Benchmark VS Mark levinson 36 DAC ????????? Theduke - Initially DAC1 sounded a little thin until Signetics factory that made NE5532 burned down (2000/2001). Texas Instruments bought license, redesigned die and Benchmark got fuller sound. Another possible problem was very high output impedan... | |
| Zu Omen Defs and Ice Amps? "of negative feedback switching power supply power amp."It makes me suspicious of "negative placebo effect" when somebody has already opinion on switching in general.Switching supplies are the same thing as class D amps. In addition to efficiency ... | |
| Benchmark VS Mark levinson 36 DAC ????????? Knghifi - that shows how differently we all perceive. It sounded to you muffled and lacking detail and resolution while most of opinions I've read stated "too bright" and "hyper detailed". |
