| Thickest Power cord with Power distributor? In theory the largest AWG cable should be used on the power distributor, but what if one cable is 10 AWG copper and the other is 11 AWG silver- which has less resistance? Both these cables are copper/silver hybrids so it is not that simple. In pr... | |
| Question about high current amps versus "not high current amps" I had thought capacitance had to do with instantaneous current delivery as well. Obviously 100 amps through a 15 amp outlet is impossible for long periods. In theory as far as continuous power one can only have 80% of 15 amps x 120 volts = 1440... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Ok I wanted to clarify that before this question: @vthokie83 Everyone is focusing on the frequency response, Danny suggests it should be flat, and many responders suggesting it is not that important, yet in this case it is not measured before or... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. @vthokie83 To clarify- you sent the schematic in- Did you not send the speakers in? | |
| Question about high current amps versus "not high current amps" A Coda 16 has 280,000 uF of capacitance and can deliver 100 amps of current, per channel. A Gryphon Essence stereo has 440,000 uF, so can probably deliver more, note that is described as a 50 wpc amplifier. Going off the top of my head, I reca... | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List An example of the opposite is Jason Kennedy, editor or The Ear. His grammatical errors are so widespread and egregious that I simply cannot read anything by him any longer. Sure as $h!t the guy who posts about how he can’t stand grammatical err... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. FWIW, whatever changes Danny makes to the speakers other than upgraded parts, will make it sound like something other than a WP. If that’s what the owner wants, he bought the wrong speakers in the first place. @ozzy62 I wonder if we will ever... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. I don't recall Danny showing us the crossovers in the Wilsons. Usually he points out the junk parts as part of his video. @knotscott There will be a part II | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List @teajay I am one of those who appreciate you being here and sharing information. Please keep doing it and ignore the small percentage who tend to dominate some of the forums with their negativity. Sometimes I imagine if someday those with all t... | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS @agwca One salesperson who started talking all this audiophile jargon and went off on his own tirade rather than asking me where I was at and what I think I wanted; I had that once about 25 years ago; I remember it vividly. How can I demo th... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. @arafiq Oh you are lucky, I would have banned that for sure. I also had something strange yesterday- I typed a semi-long response in a different thread, and I hit the post button on the bottom, and it disappeared and I got a 'log in using 2 fa... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. @arafiq Hmm.. I posted something a few mins ago. There was nothing offensive in my post. I see that it has been removed. Well I'm curious. Maybe it was a technical glitch. Try it again and see if it gets removed again | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List @larryi But, the fuse is so crazy expensive ($5,000), there is no way to even try it out in other gear or even in the repaired linestage for fear of it actually working as it is supposed to work. It makes no sense to have a situation where you ... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Haven't watched yet, but I really like this guy. I watched his how-to video on soldering before I re-did the crossovers in my Maggies. He is an asset to the audiophile community. Think about this though, on top of your day job, and moderating yo... | |
| Declare the correct value on the Customs form? @grislybutter Hungary? We own a Puli, not common in Canada, we get plenty of questions, but he was not imported from Hungary The $2000 replacement was the current cost of a used MCU (media control unit) from a wrecked/salvage car from ebay etc. ... |
