| How does the input impedance of an amplifier effect it sonically? Ya know when I read your question again. It has to do with Pro vs Home stereo gear, too. The difference between the two.. You could plug something into a lot of the old amps for amplification, Macs, VTL, for use in a band (LIVE), PA, all kinds of... | |

| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? Really, am I allowed? If not, who do I need to request permission from? I need to know. You can ask me... Yes you have permission. Now go and have a good time. But be nice....;-)Regards.. | |

| How does the input impedance of an amplifier effect it sonically? One thing for sure will effect SQ is low LOW, like the old VTLs. .75 or something. Most are 1.2? My Modded MACs, would OVER drive them to over 320 watt per 300 watt rated MB.When you played at low volumes they didn't sound right. If I remember it ... | |
| Hard disk for Music Server One other thing, even though software raid is not the best... It’s still pretty good. The problem, the software usually complements the drive spec only, not the interface between a SCSI driver board (with its own onboard buffer, ROM, and HI speed ... | |
| Hard disk for Music Server Again raid 1+0, look at how it works. Very fast, redundant, and hot swappable...Stripped, and mirrored. Yes I’ve built a hot rod or two..In other words you could pull a drive, replace it. Take the drive you pulled and start a migration, to build a... | |

| Who says cables don't make a difference? MC, you mean they run the cables, from display, to display?That would be pretty cool. It’s not that I wouldn’t spend good money on good cables. It’s more like the cables I run on the gear I use, work, pretty darn good. I’m a couple months out on P... | |

| Best amp for kappa 8.1 I looked up the specs on the amps you mentioned..I don't think you'll be happy. They both have pretty good specs.BUT. It use to take something like Krells, Mark L, Pass Lab, Ampzilla, Adcom 565s, modded, 5800.I also saw, a guy go threw 2 pairs of ... | |

| Hard disk for Music Server Raid 0 offers no backup, it only spans more than one drive into volume (s) Very bad if there is a drive failure. Raid 5 is good but difficult to repair if there is a failure. 1+0 is much better, gives you failure, hot swaps without downtime or dat... |
