| Any experience with BPT clean power center I wish I COULD be helpful. Being subject to awful power delivery is not my idea of fun. After living for years in Florida where FPL (Florida Flicker and Flash) ran the show amid 6+ months of Thunder / Lightning storms I moved to a place which at t... | |
| Pass Labs XA60.5 experience? Can you demo one in home?I'd try the 30.5 first and at the loudest levels, see how much the meter flickers.If you don't leave class 'a', look no further.If too much meter flicker, you're into A/B which you may not want.The 30.5 is around 200@4 per... | |
| power cable length importance Filtration? I'd suggest the advantage of a shorter power cable is that it is less of an antenna. Dancer: 500$ worth of Monster? ouch. Balanced cables have an advantage in noise rejection and are therefore worth it to some. Inexpensive, or not wack... | |
| copper slug What for? to replace a fuse?#2 or #3 should fit....check an AWG Wire chart.For metric fuses? Again, check the chart.Even scrap is getting expensive. Last year i replaced a faucted and got 11$ at a scrap yard for the one I took out.....Solid brass,... | |
| Classe move to China China has some problems of its own. They are also becoming dependent on oil and so are subject to the same robbery-by-oil shiek as the west. What some see as an 'advantage' by the Chinese in the form of just being able to build what they want with... | |
| Classe move to China I'm not about to read this whole thing, but in skimming thru, Fiddler makes a fine point. Why DIDN'T the alledged healthcare reform include competition across state lines? Any Constitutional Scholars out there? Wanna talk about the Commerce Clause? | |
| Classe move to China Actually, building a car is a well-known 'art'.Building it RIGHT? Many things come into play from choice of materials....High Strength steel is a bigger player these days since you can build as strong or stronger with less weight all the way to co... | |
| b&w 685: heard 'em, liked 'em, but wondering Will the Marantz receiver drive the B&Ws properly? Are they not a somewhat difficult load...typical of most B&Ws? I'm suggesting some impedance dip coupled with some high phase angle type issue. | |
| Classe move to China Dyn,I've worked semiconductor manufacturing for decades....in the fab. I've helped make enough ICs and Discrete components to sink a ship. All changes to procedures are vetted and go thru a sign off loop, with the exception of the 'temporary' chan... | |
| Classe move to China Publ,Mao, the largest mass murdered in history tried the 'Great Leap Forward'. Apparently back yard steel mills don't work. By the time Mao went room tempreture, he was responsible for the deaths of 60 to 70 million Chinese....more than Hitler and... | |
| Classe move to China Everyone has a case....Chinese workers continue to petition for higher wages. They want CARS, not scooters or mopeds. They want Consumer Goods and the standard of living no amount of propoganda and internet-banning can insulate against.I wish i ha... | |
| Speaker Burn In? What measurements were taken? Was everything else controlled for? (cap age, for example)The only explanation I could come up with when I first turned on my panels and heard the image shifting L / R was caps forming. And, why does it have to get be... | |
| Can car amps be used for home audio? Hot about running such a system 'total loss' from a couple of SLA batteries and charge as needed?Or perhaps a battery charger and capacitor bank? They make some HUGE caps for automotive audio use. | |
| Speaker Burn In? The capacitors may actually need more time to settle than any other part.My panels had image shifts and cutouts for a couple hours...at decreasing frequency. By 20 hours the caps were formed and the speaker was 90% 'there'. Don't worry about it. I... | |
| vibration control You know, there are measurements and measurements. If you are looking at a scope image of a waveform thru an amp in a vibrating box, and subtracting that from the un processed waveform, differences down to -100db or more will be easily seen. That'... |
