| Beatles vs. Stones Stones are short of bassist and percussionist while Beatles are only bass and drums. Just saying. | |
| "Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time? From technical standpoint it would be hard to prove that power cable makes difference when added to few hundred feet of home wiring. On the other hand, I know better than to question what people can or cannot hear. It would seem that if cable h... | |
| Spread Spectrum Class D? Lower output switching frequencies would have higher amplitude (filtered less) while higher frequencies would increase timing errors and dissipated heat. Chosen frequency at about 500kHz, is likely a compromise. There is about 1% of this freque... | |
| Is It OK to Use a 20amp Tripp Lite Isobar Surge Protector Suppressor Instead of a 15amp? I use Furman Elite 20PFI - a 20A conditioner/surge protector on 15A breaker. It has 20A style socket on the back, but it came with two cables - 15A plug and 20A plug. It suggests that company approves it on 15A mains. I believe the only conside... | |

| Purpose of power handling in the specs? Correction: 89 + 8.4 = 97.4 | |
| Purpose of power handling in the specs? They likely assume the worst case - no room reflections, no second speaker and at least 2m distance (-6dB). That makes 83dB/1W at 2m. 50W will get you +17dB making it 100dB at 2m and that's what they likely target. As for the higher spec of 200... | |
| How do you stop house guest from damaging your speakers? @mapman +1 | |
| Learned something new today and it isn't good. Pre-emphasis is very likely dead IMHO, because ripped CD's data doesn't carry pre-emhpasis bit. A lot of people use servers and music with pre-emphasis would sound bad (+9.5dB@20kHz) without de-emphasis. Some ripping programs might contain plug-i... | |
| Learned something new today and it isn't good. Pre-emphasis was a way to reduce tape noise from analog recordings. When studios started recording digital there is no use for it. CD contains pre-emphasis bit engaging de-emphasis built into every player automatically. | |
| Advice on Speaker Wiring - Larger Advent w. McIntosh MA6500 Amplifier / Speaker Settings Wire on a roll is also called an inductor. True, but cable in not a wire. It consists of two wires producing opposite magnetic field (since they carry identical currents in opposite direction). That's how non-inductive bifilar resistors are w... | |
| Advice on Speaker Wiring - Larger Advent w. McIntosh MA6500 Amplifier / Speaker Settings Not even taking into account inductive reactance, resistance will be substantial. Gauge 16 is about 4mohm/ft making 0.8ohm per 2x100ft. I would keep it as short as possible and use thicker wire. Coiling unused cable would make no difference, b... | |

| Audio-grade rectifying diode? When transformer's sinewave voltage becomes smaller (at the peak) than capacitor's voltage diode becomes reverse polarized. In spite of reverse polarization it will conduct for a moment in reverse direction (limited response), to snap back to zero... | |
| Cloning an SSD for a Music Streamer I use Carbon Copy Cloner (MAC only program) for that - fantastic program. In default configuration it makes copy identical to original by dealing only with files that are different working really fast. For Windows you can try Acronis TrueImage. I ... |
