| Who's your guitar daddy now? What about Pat Martino? Guy had brain aneurysm and complete amnesia in the age of 36 at the top of recording career. When he found out that he was jazz guitarist before, he learned to play guitar again and is today probably the best jazz guitarist. | |
| Can "Digital" damage my gear? Sidssp - 25kHz at full blast will take tweeter fast (minutes) as well as my amp and I won't even hear that - sometimes it is the case when amp's output stage goes to high frequency oscillation (instability). That was main reason, other than clippi... | |
| Can "Digital" damage my gear? Eldartford - I have only one 0.5m XLR (locking) IC. My speaker cables have Cardas bar type (common knob) very secure connector on amp side while on speaker side I have very tight spade connection (I tend to overtight). No loose connection here. Fa... | |
| Audio Noise from my step up/down transformer Saturation also happens when voltage is too high. It is not only mechanical hum but also sinewave distortion. | |
| Can "Digital" damage my gear? Mstll - I wouldn't ask the question if I could give an example. In class D amp it will destroy amp - just look at any Icepower datasheet.Separate computer is good idea if you can afford it. Computer infected by virus might play destructive file wi... | |
| “Real” bass vs. “Boom” — how do you know which? "Thats great that you got rid of bad sounding equipment but it did nothing to your room."Bob - that's true but the room, as we all know, is the most expensive part of any audio system. At least I stopped floor from resonating (and it was a cheap f... | |
| Can "Digital" damage my gear? Al - that sounds doable but now I started worrying about viruses. Main household computers will become servers for music. It is already happening. I'm afraid that eventually somebody will get an idea to write virus that will destroy tweeters or am... | |
| Who's your guitar daddy now? Philjolet"John Williams is the best technical guitarist (classical) I have seen."Classical guitarists come to David Russel's concerts to see if it's even real (vs. made up in studio).Expressiveness is another story - Julian Bream was shaking head ... | |
| “Real” bass vs. “Boom” — how do you know which? Three things improved bass in my system making it more articulate (shorter) and dynamic - new interconnects, new amp and vibrapods under speakers. My old amp had boomy, woolly bass that covered most of the midrange. It got better after replacing p... | |
| Can "Digital" damage my gear? Mlsstl - "I've got over 40,000 songs on my digital server. I have never come across a maliciously recorded digital song."That is very good to hear - thank you."I'd be fascinated to hear of one blown by a malicious digital recording."- that's exact... | |
| Can "Digital" damage my gear? Mlsstl - I don't expect noise/EMI pickup of full amplitude but circuit malfunction is always possible. I don't have control over that. Digital "malfunction" appears to be in addition.Al - I wouldn't know how to start. Inspecting huge files with So... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Rob321 "I mean beauty is in the eye of the beholder"Perhaps spelling error?! - it should be "beauty is in the eye of beerholder" | |
| How to run speaker wires... Gregm - wire has inductance even without twisting (approx. 0.5uH/ft). Twisting doesn't remove or lower capacitance between wires.Making twisted pair of speaker wires does nothing, as Almarg stated, but makes you feel good since you did something. ... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? "to soften the look of HDTV program content" - yes, because some actors asked for it. Whatever they do result is incredible. Both, analog and OTA HDTV occupy the same 6.5MHz bandwidth but you cannot even compare picture quality.I think many people... | |
| Short circuit Creek integrated tech question? Disconnect speakers. Disconnect inputs. Set Volume to min. Replace fuse again - it is likely slow blowing fuse - check manual or inspect original blown fuses. Turn it ON. If it still blows the fuse than most likely output transistor (Mosfet) is da... |
