| Air conditioning for audiophiles. Got a bit of a buzz on right now so maybe not posting my best.... This is a great thread, thanks OP, my comments might not pertain to most here but some great posts have been made, good topic:) Rick | |
| Air conditioning for audiophiles. I am into 8+ years full time RV and noise from the AC was not bad on moderate days, only 90+ when I had to run both units but the energy used was huge. I installed a small window unit Evap cooler, into a wall and setup for easy removal for the wi... | |
| horn or line array? I have plenty of good drivers to build some test sealed or ported box speakers, subs, etc and doing a lot of room treatment and DIY cables. I wired two separate dedicated and fully shielded AC lines and moved the breakers around to put all the noi... | |
| horn or line array? Horns! Always my all time favorite even in car audio which I have done quite successfully a couple of times. Currently remodeling our full time RV, added 1.5 ft to the length for more room for the system. I will test my beloved and highly modifie... | |
| McIntosh and Wilson? RV audio system, glad I am not the only one to take this seriously:) I will post a pic or two when I setup a place to host it. Nice comment, I guess not everyone knows how to turn off the AC;) I am actually surprised to see a none ducted AC system in such a high end RV as others in the same brand have them. I sup... | |
| Gordon Lightfoot, Canadian folk legend, dead at 84 Always loved his music, saw him twice in the 70's at the Spokane Opera House, a good venue. Second time it was the second show of the evening and he looked very tired and things were just not flowing well. Somebody started singing happy birthday t... | |
| what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history? First "Audiophile" interconnects taught to me by Stan Warren (the S of PS Audio in the early 80's) at their facility. Three gauges of magnet wire(motor or coil winding wire) in something like 2/2/3 strands, wish I could remember exactly, braided a... | |
| what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history? Forgot these! Directly from Bruce, got to know him quite well. Edgarhorn Slimline with upgraded huge oil filled caps and higher end Foxtex tweeters, demo set so needed recovered, $800 shipped. Still have them though not likely to work well going ... | |
| what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history? Too much work to recall it all but a few stand out. Early 80's, ADS aluminum cabinet mini car audio speakers, $8. They felt way to heavy, opened them up, filled with sand! Cleaned them out, upgraded caps and resistors, offered $500 for them a wee... | |
| Install A Dedicated AC Line at home Thanks, much appreciated:) I might be just fine since from panel to each outlet the wires are tightly twisted and separated from all signal cables from 2' up to 7'. Quad Shield Coax from pedestal to Ethernet switch, looking at upgrades. Only par... | |
| Install A Dedicated AC Line at home Great article, thanks for posting it! I might have to swap out the aluminum flex conduit for steel EMT, forgot about magnetic shielding, aluminum only does electrical sheilding:( I will have to read the section on isolation transformers a couple ... | |
| Install A Dedicated AC Line at home Also using Square D breakers, already on hand. Will apply good paste to all connections except plugs into outlets, I will used a can of ProGold to spray those. I saved the military many millions using that stuff, brought in my one can to show the... | |
| Install A Dedicated AC Line at home Adding two dedicated lines using materials on hand and a very long history either full time or as a hobby, 60+ years including 20 as a tech on very high end military systems, to gain whatever is actually possible and not just a change in sound as ... | |
| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? 1976, Olm Walsh, new, forget model number, loved them. 1982, Stereo 70, second hand store, $25, worked, rebuilt and mild upgrades, sold years later for $500 1983, ADS (200?) little aluminum housed two ways, filled with sand, bought at yard sale ... | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? Another thing overlooked by the media that likes to hyperventilate everything is our solar system moved into a much higher density part of our galaxy which is causing a great deal of the issues we are facing. It is also now starting to move back o... |
