Driver breakin period, what’s the science?
Like I said, and a LOT of folks using fancy caps, they make noises that are hard to explain. Measure? Who would want to.. I’ve heard teflons break in a couple of times. After that, I put mine face to face, covered them with heavy moving blankets i... 
Help me tame my out of control bass
Hummmm, Maybe that's why I've never see one on my stuff. 2496 Behringer, it's their mic, it's all their stuff. Your saying the equipment the mic is hooked to may have a ground loop? AND that through rectifying it, that causes that spike. It doesn'...

Anyone else treated poorly by AVA?
I agree it was handled wrong.. The customer is alway right.That being said, you should have included he gave you, your money back without delay.That says something to me too. I’m at 4 months on a 4-6 week order from Decware. LOL I’ll wait, I’m a r...

With GK it was simple for me, I always walked away with more questions than answers. :-) I felt like I had to answer my own question, if there was one to be had.. I guess he made me work harder after all.. LOLHe was a different sort for sure..Regards

bhvf44 posts02-23-2021 6:21pmI read through that. It's where I got the above quote. No good answers but I found the DIY forum post I'm going to read through while listening to this awesome Billy Strings concert at the Cap Theater. Highly recomm... 
Help me tame my out of control bass
The 120 issue. I read Erik had said it may be AC. It that because 220-40 VAC. being on at the same time? Or some 220-40 VAC something being on? I’m not following, I’m a little foggy these days, the light is a little dimmer lets say..:-) I don’t ru... 
Driver breakin period, what’s the science?
A guy named Mike Samra, red sock green sock guy. Told me that teflon caps break in because of the DC, yet the speaker's VC would fry with it.. If it takes DC to break in a teflon cap, I still haven't figured how they breakin, in an XO, but they do... 
Driver breakin period, what’s the science?
Heavy, high excursion butyl rubber surrounds, and stiff spiders (springs), they take a while to loosen up. To sound clean and go DEEP, 50-100 hours (over night on a tone generator)I have GR servos. LOL took a couple of hours to hear them and all n... 
Just how many outlets do you need for your stereo?
OP, it's kind of funny, you asking us how many outlets YOU need. ericsch hit the nail on the head..I use Triplite 2400 and then quiet them up. The chassis gets silicone and the transformer base is gooped up. Cuts the noise by 90%. 10-12 outlets, 2... 
DAC as a preamp?
OP there is no magic, just a lifetime warr. and great support. Their equipment is very simple and clean. SQ is above the norm. and DEAD quiet.. You get your moneys worth with Decware, there is no doubt about that..American made, start to finish.. ... 
Can I place outdoor screen over air vents on top of my amplifier vs. dust/hair entering?
Everything I have stays covered with off white silk tablecloths. I live on the delta, between three types of soil. Adobe, sand, and pete. A lot of farming and the santa anna winds. I uncover the valve amps and dust them off most mornings, fire the... 
DAC as a preamp?
Decware is really nice. If you get on the list right now. If your lucky they will be pulling parts in 4-6 months. No that doesn’t mean it will be finished.They are really SLOW, now. The first time I ordered from them 10 plus years ago. 3-4 weeks. ...
