| Major help needed in Input and output impeadance.. You optimize voltage transfer if the preamp output impedance is minimal and the amps input impedance is maximal. However, there are other problems when these are pushed to extremes (noise/RF pickup, etc.) and, once you get near two orders of magni... | |
| Solution to a ground loop problem I gave away my Mondial Magic Brick when my ground loop was cured. The Brick had problems with the DMX signals on my cable.Kal | |
| Solution to a ground loop problem "Good luck with the cable company....been there, done that and no satisfaction whatsoever."Keep trying. On the 3rd service call, I finally got a tech who, while first spouting the company line that ground loops due to an improper cable ground are ... | |
| 7 ch Preamp question More than 5.1 is primarily for movies. Only a very few music releases utilize more than 5.1 and none of those are discrete.Kal | |
| Bi-Amping 8 volts should be enough to drive any amp or pair of amps into clipping. Take a look at the amp's sensitivity rating; it's usually around 2V for full output.Kal | |
| Solution to a ground loop problem Better yet: Get the cable company to reposition and reconnect their ground. Then you won't need a band-aid to block the loop.Kal | |

| Where to position speakers in new apartment I actually have no video display in that room with the exception of a small 7" LCD for menuing. I like having the city views in the evening while I am listening. My HT is in another room.Kal | |
| Where to position speakers in new apartment HT? Just close the drapes completely. You can then lower the screen in front from the soffitt above. ;-)Kal | |
| Where to position speakers in new apartment This ain't too different from my room and I have had good results with the speakers in front of the windows. However, they are 4-5 feet in front of the windows, there are adjustable acoustic drapes on the windows and I have a bass trap in each of ... | |
| Bi-Amping Nah. You just discovered the truth about bi-amping without using an active line level crossover: Improvements are modest at best.Kal | |
| Biwire Speaker Question Thanks, Tobias. Of course, one can introduce spurious variables, like a pigtail which reduces the effective wire guage, but connecting the two pairs together at one set of amp terminals or internally when the amp has two sets of terminals, is exac... | |
