| House Amperage vs Stereo Amperage Sean-You are perfectly correct, of course, and one can draw more than 15A from a 15A line for varying periods of time. My point remains that the performance of any amp from an honest manufacturer is specified on the basis of a 15A line (whether th... | |
| House Amperage vs Stereo Amperage All good points. Remember, as I said at the beginning, if the amp has a standard wall plug, it was designed to expect no more that 15A from the wall!Kal | |
| House Amperage vs Stereo Amperage Amplifiers store charge in the capacitor reservoire to permit short-term high current output. If an amplifier really needed a 30 amp draw from the wall, it would have a different power cord. Most wall outlets are limited by wiring and breaker to 15A. | |
| Dual binding posts to non bi-wire speakers? Wait a minute. What amp is this? Most have dual binding posts for the convenience (but not the necessity) of biwiring. If so, you need not use any jumpers. If, otoh, the dual sets are for A/B outputs or anything else, the jumper is definitely pros... | |
| Sound when volume off Another possibility is dirt/grime in the pot preventing a full off. You might try one of the Caig cleaners. | |

| Good tube preamp w/ HT bypass I just checked the schematics for the SF Line series and the HT bypass is a complete bypass: No active circuitry except for switching.Kal | |
| Some CD's I just Ordered...Any Thoughts? The Mussorgsky is better on the newer SACD release.Kal | |
| Need Help with Hum If the components which were once on the same line are now on separate lines, there are at least two issues which might contribute to the problem you have. First, the separate lines, due to line length/configuration, might have slightly different ... | |
| Revel Salons - Do they really sound like this? Actually, only individual parameters of "accuracy in speakers can be measured" with instruments. What I was hoping was that you might have measurements for the Revels that would show significant deviation from a flat response. As for time-coherenc... | |
| Revel Salons - Do they really sound like this? "The truth is, if you're looking for accuracy, which is not subjective, the Revel Salons fail."On what non-subjective basis? | |
| Revel Salons - Do they really sound like this? My objection is to the guys who dismiss any of these better speakers as garbage. None of them are. While I may have a preference for the Revels and reasons for that preference, I would not denigrate any of the other suggestions as sounding like a ... | |
| how much influence has Audiogon had Mebbe the influence is going the other way. ;-)Kal | |
| Best real DSD recordings on SACD. Technically, the Mercurys are not DSD originals as they derived from analog tapes although there is no PCM intermediary. Kal | |
| Good tube preamp w/ HT bypass Is there a reason why you are committed to tubes? I would think one should choose on the basis of sound and auditioning and keep one's options open.Kal |
