| Turn a power amp into a subwoofer amp? How? Will you use the amp 'bridged'? If so, can it handle the VC impedance of the new sub drivers?Is it a DVC sub? If it ia a pair of 4ohm coils, you may want to run 1 to each channel of the amp. OR, wire them in series, especially if the amp won't dri... | |
| Dedicated power You can get most of the benefit of dedicated lines, especially for lo-current equipment by use of a large isolation transformer. | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Why surprised that price/performance are not related?A current 25000$ Honda Accord handily outdoes the same price car from the dawn of Acura...the 25000$ Legend.More features, safer, as quick or quicker, better economy.The works. And that is befor... | |
| AIFF Codec FLAC can reconstruct a Bit-4-Bit copy of the original. And save maybe 45% of the original file size.This Codec is supported by the frebbie version of Winamp, among many others. Name your poison! | |
| What is equal to the Rega Apollo for less money? The slightly upline 840c has a PAIR of digital input channels of optic/coax each! Can you spell E X P E R I M E N T ?? | |
| why are two subs harder to place than full range? I'll bet my 1.6s would scare you sitting on top of my HSU VTF2mkIII. Total of about 7 1/2 feet tall! | |
| Speakers you regret selling My 10" 3-way Fishers.................NOT.................Looked awful, sounded worse. Best improvement was blowing the 5" cone midrange and replacing it with a 10ohm wirewound resistor. | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Couple 'o thoughts.I would suspect you are right: get the certs of the market you intend. Small companies, even those making, say, 10,000%, probably can not afford such certs.If, BIG IF, HiFi-Tuning is small, like 3 or 4 employees who would usuall... | |
| AIFF Codec I am currently experimenting w/FLAC using the Freebie version of Winamp. Ripping to my HD and than, as I get about 4.5gb, I copy to DVD for archive purposes.In the future, if I begin internet downloading, this may change. Long term goal is to run ... | |

| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Very true about ISO.....and good catch!ISO basically says that you 'say what you do' and 'do what you say'....In other words, you follow your own internal specifications and documents.They could care less if it actually works! | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Agreed that a fuse 'should never fail to fail'.I wonder what the truth of certification (UL, SA, etc) is?A REACH: I suspect it costs a Bundle to get a certification.YOU, the manufacturer pay for the tests and must supply all the samples. In the au... | |
| 2 channel pre with subwoofer out? Outlaw RR2150, a stereo receiver has bass management features.Also pre-outs. Too bad it is only about 700$.Emotiva, of quality unknown, makes a fairly inexpensive preamp which also has bass management built in. I don't know if either are 'stereo' ... | |
| Is break in quicker with Planars and Stats? Norton, Before buying my 1.6 Maggies, I'd have had a similar opinion to yours. After listening to my new panels have the stereo image go right/left left/right fairly rapidly, within an hour of firing them up, I was changed. The 'forming' of capaci... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Pubul57, I DO think that 39$ is germain to this discussion.That hi-end is hi-priced is NO joke. I've got a fortune in this stuff. When a 3500$ integrated is shipped, and the company says....(not direct quote) that the piece would be better with a ... |
