| Oh My, power outages,help The replaceable module in surge protectors is composed of MOVs.Metal Oxide Varisters. And they aren't expensive.From Digikeyhttp://onlinecatalog.digikey.com/WebProject.asp?CodeId=7.4.4.35&BookCode=dsu&PageLabel=2138&from=2#It's not qui... | |
| Is there a way to stream iTunes to a Blu-Ray playe Don't need the blue ray player.You can use an Airport Express......to a DAC or use the analogue outs TO the stereo. The AirportExpress can run in 'client' mode, as a dead end without need for router or other wireless network. Your laptop must have... | |
| how much power whichever you prefer. I wouldn't let an amps amps decide anything for me. Someone needs to tell me how an amp can peak 45 amps and NOT drag the powersupply down to a low voltage, regulation or not. Even if you dump a huge capacitor bank, you than ... | |
| Rotel RCD-1072 .... a DAC for improved sound ? Add to list a used CA 840c.2 channels of DAC input AND a CD player.Sell Rotel, add 600$ and you should make it. | |
| Vintage HK protect mode? In general, I'd say NO. Not too hot, since when turned on, it's stone cold. Too high a bias? Don't know if that could trip some protection circuit. Maybe if the circuit 'interprets' that as a short? That'd do it. In any event, a trip to a tech is ... | |
| Emotiva amplifiers review/experience? You can make a few 'assumptions'...dangerous, I know.First, While even Bryston (just an example) is built to a price point, they spend time voicing and have a higher parts budget, not to mention higher labor costs. Part which effect voicing are ch... | |
| Vintage HK protect mode? It is just possible you are talking about a discrete 'time delay relay' which best case, is socket mounted. | |
| Emotiva amplifiers review/experience? even IF Emotiva built from the same schematic as Bryston, they wouldn't sound the same or last as long. Parts and build quality count for something, but it is up to the buyer to decide.The problem w/new Emotiva vs used other, is perhaps resale for... | |
| Power conditioner + voltage regulator The voltage at my house hovers in the 117v range. At nite? close to 118+. The day before our SoCal power outage (somebody in Arizona tripped on our extension cord) I noted voltage closer to 112 or 113. In summer during peak demand, I start shuttin... | |
| capacitor dielectric bias Yes, the AudioCrust cables are what gave me the idea. If it's good enough for cables, it's good enough for...........?No experience with 'em, though, OR the biased speaker cables.I'm thinking AC bias, but even at high frequencies, it could interac... | |
| How to "break-in" new speakers?? 1. connect2. turn on3. enjoy4. play at low levels for first hour. this allows crossover caps to form.5. turn 'em up louder than you normally listen for about a minute, after 10 to 20 hours of listening. | |
| how much power Personally, I guess I'd fall on the 'amps is red herring' side of the fence. Pass is the only amp manufacturer who lists VOLTS and watts. I also suspect his amps are nearly stable enough to either weld or charge batteries. Audio Critic? I'll go ha... | |
| how much power No problemo. I used a Kenwood integrated for a while...with MG-1s. This was quite a while ago.As to 150 watts and 45 amps? That's about 3.3 volts. Clearly something doesn't add up. My panels are fused at 4 amps for mid/tweet. Figure 8 amps full ti... | |
| capacitor dielectric bias I don't understand the answer, either.I'd like to see a sketch-o-matic with the dielectric bias clearly noted. I was thinking along what may be a different line. I guess I'll draw what I want to do and 'think it thru'. |
