| Help, new amp causing "buzzing" in speakers Plugs are grounded to avoid manslaughter charges when the electronics short out inside the component, you touch the unit, and the total output of the Hoover Dam momentarily passes through you on its way to ground. While it's not really that dramat... | |
| Audiogoners Anonymous? One day the vintage component I've been daily searching for the last three years will appear and that day it shall be mine, bwahahaha... If it helps, remember rehab is for quitters :^) | |
| Anyone have 'stereo blend' control experience? My long gone Dynaco PAT4 preamp had stereo blend but I can't remember exactly what it was for. Maybe for their three speaker with center channel application that was supposedly specially suited to the Dynaco A-25 speakers. Whenever I used it in tw... | |
| What is "critical listening"? Critical listening occurs when you listen to the reproduction. Musical enjoyment occurs when you listen to the performance. From rain on the roof or birds chirping, from clock/radio or high $$$ system, to live music, the choice is yours to behold. | |
| I wanna hear some "audio" jokes...and Once upon a time......gently holding the edges of an LP in the open palms of both hands I put it under running hot water to wash some crud off it. As I swirled it around thoroughly all of a sudden it folded almost completely in half! Following a s... | |
| What to do when buyer claims sellers item broken? The first thing I'd do is call each shipper and notify them of your upcoming claim.

| Preamp Deal of the Century ok i'll bite... how does one get from the cantech website to the supratek website? | |
| Please explain what balanced out puts are. A balanced connection has two signals and one ground. The American Standard: Pin 1 is GROUND; Pin 2 is the COLD (negative) out of phase signal; Pin 3 is the HOT (positive) in phase signal. In the European Standard balanced connection, Pin 2 is HOT... | |
| Question about polarity-inverting preamps Here's some food for thought... in a single ended system the preamp's input signal is configured as a positive and a ground. To process the signal the preamp can only work with the whole wave, both positive and negative. So out of necessity the pr... | |
| Question about polarity-inverting preamps I read somewhere that some preamps invert because it eliminates the implementation of another stage for the signal to pass thru. Maybe someone knows why this inversion occurs in the first place? The designers avoid the issue by having the accompan... |
