| Transformer--Subpanel Wiring Jim did the math, but if you want four circuits... 4 X 15A X 120V = 7200 VAor(2 X 20A X 120V) + (2 X 15A X 120V) = 8400 VAYou never know how noisy a transformer will be till it's installed and the same one could be quiet in one nearly identical se... | |
| Transformer--Subpanel Wiring Any time it's going to an outlet, instead of hard-wired, you have to accommodate the POTENTIAL, not the actual load. Who's to say you won't get 600W, class A, OTL monoblocks and then plug in some 11,000 BTU portable air conditioners and a vacuum c... | |
| Transformer--Subpanel Wiring Subpanel after the 5KVA transformer gives option of two 20A circuit protection, maybe three 15A circuits with a little stretch of imagination. More than that is not advised, even with a 20A 240V breaker from the main panel to the transformer. Safe... | |
| amplifier power consumption Haven't read all the responses but a UPS shouldn't be run at over 60% capacity. Even that is generalized for SMPS, not linear power supplies. | |
| Voltage regulation There's some 5000VA/50Hz Sola MCR (works even better at 60Hz) on Ebay for $600. Heavy and expensive shipping. Insist on bolted/strapped to palette. These are noisy, so they have to be mounted remotely, if possible. The MCR is only 3% regulation bu... | |
| Hall of Fame: BIGGEST BADDEST Monster Amps Yes, this is much less "divergent and confusing".The Tympany's don't require "monsters" and shouldn't respond well to tight-fisted control. They do like current and watts but not like heavy conventional dynamic bass drivers. Especially with an act... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I knew this thread was going to last like this when it started. It's getting to appear more like a perpetual promotion device.If these things "don't add or subtract", why are they so hard to match? Can't perfection be duplicated? | |
| Dunlavy SC-IV bass problem Quality over quantity? Less distortion?Was it Stereophile that classified it as "limited"? Then again, John Dunlavy pretty much said the same about Stereophile. | |
| Detail Magnifiers by Econotweek The only way I can imagine these to work, in pro audio terms, is as a compressor/limiter. | |
| Detail Magnifiers by Econotweek A speaker "snubber". Essentially, a high pass spike filter that's supposed to absorb RFI/EMI as advertised. Don't think so. Behind a Pass X350.5. WTF? | |
| Humming and static noise, Plinius SA 100 MkIII Suckered again. Disconnect cable from TV. Any noise?Turn off all dimmer switches ...Try without RGPS ...... | |
| More powerful amp for top or bottom? Good work Al. http://sound.westhost.com/bi-amp.htm | |
| Humming and static noise, Plinius SA 100 MkIII Using the same, in bridged mono on 91 dB speakers. And that's along with a Genesis/NHT active x'over/1600W bass amp. Never heard anything more than a slight pop, very rarely. I've had a stethoscope on them. I'm also using a 5KVA transformer coming... | |
| RCA to XLR adapters? The only time I tried SE into balanced, the amp did not respond well at all, and it was fully differential. It made sound, but badly.Many find that they don't need expensive XLR cables because the effects (or is it affects) of the cable get reduce... | |
| The Ultimate SACD Machine Lindemann 820S or older D680. Tough to find in US. |
