| Power consumption questions Consider the purchase of a 'Kill-a-Watt'...an external, plug in power meter. It will give you Volts / Amps / Watts and other data, including hours and Watthours. So, instead of reading back plates of equipment, you will be able to measure stuff an... | |
| Speaker Placement, Listening Room Design Rives will do a complete consultation....starting with either a blank sheet of paper or with an existing room. This is the cost-no-object solution. | |
| Extended power on for Pass Labs XA.5 amplifiers Weebeesdad, equipment can be zapped just by being plugged in. Off? no real help. Any surge worth its name can easily bridge a switch and get you. Now, UPLUGGED, thats a different matter, but get the ICs, too.My ICE gear seems to warm up and sound ... | |
| Rotel RB-1070 vs RB-1080 Rotel 'house' sound should prevail.The '1070 has no 4ohm rating in the book, though you can infer its output from the 8ohm 'bridged rating. | |
| Need to vent tube heat? Electronics that runs cooler lasts longer. You can use active cooling like fans and Airconditioning for your house. OR you can use passive techniques, like a chimmeny to draw air thru. You can create problems with either technique. With fans, you ... | |
| alternative to apple tv? There are some freebie fan control / temp readout routines for Mac.....Google.My IMac 24" ran hot at the start, maybe as hot as the Apple store demos. Fan speedup means I can now hear the fan or fans and it runs much cooler.Could there be a simila... | |
| Good stores in LA Knock San Diego weather? Must'a been a misprint.Some San Diego Tourist organization or other is probably sending over a goon squad to break my legs. | |
| Good stores in LA If you want some 'culture', and are in SanDiego, the place to go is Balboa Park. There on EVERY Sunday of the year, is a 1 hour Organ Recital at what may be the ONLY remaining outdoor, municipal pipe organ in the world. Played by SanDiego's Munici... | |
| Fuse blown on RB-1080 with new pair of DynAudio's Fuse voltage doesn't really matter.....DON'T use slow blow unless it is the stock fuse required.AGC fuses are NOT slow blow....what is? MDX? Is there any burned electronic smell coming from the amp?18ga wire? a little flimsy unless the run is very... | |
| What matters most in speaker design? The most important part of a speaker design? Listening to it after fabrication. Voicing it. | |
| Good stores in LA Down here is SanDiego, which until reading the above posts, I'd have thought of as the end up the world, has a couple of places of note:1, just up the street in Carlsbad has Mac, CA, PassLabs, Paradigm speakers and a bunch of other goodies. I boug... | |
| Iso Clean Fuses And just what IS the current flow direction in an AC circuit? | |
| Outlaw M-200 sv. Hafler XL-280 bridged It all depends on how each amp responds to the load intended.The difference between 300 watts and 400 watts in nearly unhearable. Is this intended for center channel or sub duty? Are you going to redline it frequently? | |
| bridging a Adcom GFA 545 A radical solution would be to SELL the Adcom and use the funds to purchase a good plate amp from maybe....Parts Express or Madisound...(Do they sell such amps?) so you can either use speaker level or line level input and get enough juice to do th... | |
| bridging a Adcom GFA 545 If you are going to build a sub, you can always get a DVC driver.....Dual Voice Coil.....and run 1 channel to each coil.Below about 80hz, it's all mono, anyway. Make sure it is 4ohms or better to EACH coil. |
