| Switching to battery power @goofyfoot Our AC mains is a 50Hz - 60Hz sine wave, so that's why the battery power stations are made to create them - to match the mains power. If you feed your electronics a square wave or modified sign wave you may damage them. And if you don't... | |

| Best Bang for your Buck DAC ? RME. Nothing else compares. | |
| Fostex 206 EN(?) upgrade Got a pair of fe208e Sigma's as per Johnk's recommendation. Very very nice. The improvement is very subtle, but the treble is more polite and delicate now. I was worried that the tops would be rolled off, but they seem at least as extended as with... | |
| Power conditioners around $500 RF, can you swing a soldering iron? I have built a number over the years. I can honestly say that with the exception of PS Audio PS300 on some source gear, it will match anything out there ... and it's dead easy to do.Attached a URL of a very easy... | |
| Need for Power Conditioning?? Every electronic device you use contaminates the mains; your amps dumps noise into the mains that your DAC and pre-amp must consume. They in turn do the same. Best is to have at least one form of conditioner per audio component. Needn't be an expe... | |
| Bass Suckout in a Square Room - Remedies and Solut Meth, you suffer from standing wave, meaning you have low pressure and high pressure points at a frequency determined by your room size.

| "Tube Like" SS Integrated Amps Sonic, this is one of the few times (or the first?) I agree with Mr. T. 'Tube sound' means different things to different people. The vast majority refer to 'tube sound' as the coloration caused by a tube amp - speaker mismatch, hence the comments ... | |
| Will a PS 300 provide enough juice? No it won't. | |
| 30 ft rca run too long for a phono to preamp? I am using a 15 foot IC between my phono and amp and I don't use a preamp at all. I have used a couple of phonos; Pass, Herron and a couple of home rolled tube units w/o a hint of a problem. | |
| Amp damping factor? Kijanki an amplifier that has a DF rating is probably something I'll pass on. When specs are written by the marketing department, one never knows just how creative theyve been.RegardsPaul | |
| Baby Steps back to Tubes. Has2be. No amount of tube "power" will ever make up for big variances in impedance curve. If you want to use tubes you must have a tube friendly speaker.On an over, over simplified level: A transistor amps output goes up as the impedance drops i.... |
