| One dedicated circuit for each mono block? You are managing 3 issues here: 1) Adequate voltage and current the handle your requirements. A Dedicated 20Amp circuit will do that if the total drwa is under 1KW per amplifier (12 V X 8A = 960W) 2) Grounding. Typically a single circuit has few... | |
| My Amp is good but probably the weak point You have a great amp. The big improvement will come from speakers. Monitor Audio Silver 500 7G. It will have the presence you're looking for, the dynamics and solid bass to the mid 30s. Sterephile put them in Class A for a reason. I have the 300s ... | |
| Zavfino Majestic USB Cable @thyname When you are dealing with Layer 1, the Physical layer where cables dwell, there is no such thing as 'digital audio transmissions'. There are only 0s and 1s represented by 0-300mv for Zero and 3.6-3.8v for Ones. Layer 1 has no mechanism fo... | |
| Zavfino Majestic USB Cable @jerryg123 Eexpertise in rocket science? I don't know, you'll have to tell me. I do know I brought my technical experience in analog to my work in digital communications and networking, where it served me well in developing high bandwidth and hi... | |
| Zavfino Majestic USB Cable @soix If a cable is useful in mitigating noise, then the issue in the noisy component, not the passive cable. If a cable with a telescoping ground (grounded at the input, but not the output is necessary to minimize hum, then the problem is a groun... | |
| Zavfino Majestic USB Cable @thyname I have 50 years experience in audio, professional, home theater and 2-channel., and I am formally trained in architectural acoustics. several of my professional speaker designs have been commercial successes. I also have 40 years experien... | |
| Do speaker cables really make a difference ? 40.years ago Monster Cable provided dealers with an A/B cable switch for demonstration of their product with 16 GA lamp cable. At under a10 ft no one could reliably tell them apart. At 20 ft, Monster Cable became noticeably better. One customer br... | |
| Zavfino Majestic USB Cable Great USB audio summary. "Most modern DACs with USB input implement "Isochronous transfer mode with asynchronous feedback". The isochronous transfer mode of USB is the one that guarantees transmission bandwidth but does not support data retrans... | |
| speakers/ amps liking one another Your 13 X 13 room is by far the biggest issue. you will have strong resonant modes (eigentones) in both L-R and F-R at about 87 Hz and multiples: 43.5, 174, 261, 348 Hz, etc. The speed of sound is 1128 ft/sec (sea level) divided by 13 ft = ~87 Hz.... | |
| What Gear Has Disappointed You? KEF LS-50s - just all wrong in my room. They are a near field monitor for small rooms. In my living room, they just sounded tiny and lost, even with a sub. Replaced them with Monitor Audio Silver 300 7G, and am very happy. The LS-50s will go into ... | |
| Which power cords have high resolutions and separation?? A power chord is a two note chord that is neither major nor minor. Savvy music theorists will note that this is because it only consists of the root and fifth notes of a given chord. Since the third is what determines if a chord is major or minor,... | |
| Anything that is like Norah Jones? Eva Cassidy 'Live at Blues Alley'. The best of the Saturday night show. 'Songbird' is the entire 30+ song set. The Friday night set was supposed to have been recorded as well, but wasn't. And on Saturday she was starting to come down with a cold. ... | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) I had a dinner out with Andrew Jones many years ago. He impressed me as a genuinely nice man and extremely competent speaker designer. I've followed his career arc for decades since. The Source Point 10s may seem controversial to some, but I see m... | |
| Best way to keep REL sub from “hopping around” at high volumes Buy 4 2" Sorbothane 30 Durometer feet from.Amazon. Sorbothane is the real thing, no esoteric BS, its what is used for vibration control in all kinds of applications in all kinds of industries, because it works. 30 Durometer is the softest and work... |
