| "Burn In" Question There's no current flow unless you complete the circuit. So I would say yep, in order to run the signal through the interconnects, it must be drawn through by the load. No load, no energy flow. Btw, I leave my more expensive solid state stuff on 2... | |
| Phono Subsonics Just some sympathy here. Whenever I have the grills off and play an LP I can see the woofers pumping or oscillating out of time with the signal. It is scary looking, and varies in proportion to level, but I can't hear any trouble. It occurs regard... | |
| Vinyl vs. CD Hahaha...*shakes head* these kids today :-) | |
| Vinyl vs. CD Hey I'm sorry TM12, but my cat Missy won't eat analog cat food no matter how many times I put the picture on her plate. Lighten up, dude :-) Btw, the reason the world was believed to be flat for so long was because the people who thought different... | |
| Vinyl vs. CD I'm still listening to vinyl on my first turntable, a Dual 1219. When records were all I had, I replaced the cartridge once a year religiously as part of the vinyl/altar offering ritual. I still clean each one before I play it. Now I'm hooked on C... | |
| Will my speakers be damaged if I use If ya run a low power amp into any given speaker, when it clips the excessive runaway energy will melt your drivers, especially tweeters. With too much power, you'll surpass the physical limits of the drivers, exceed their excursions, whap the voi... | |
| Shipping hassles with FEDEX Oops Siddh, here's an afterthought courtesy of my ex-wife. After presenting your case, instead of making demands, close by asking Fedex what they can do to help you. People like to think their jobs are meaningful, and this gives them a way to rede... | |
| Shipping hassles with FEDEX I Fedex'd a two-day air, 60 pound power amp that arrived with two broken feet, the bottom panel loose after the screw heads were shown off from impact, and a dent on the bottom corner of the faceplate. And this baby was packed solid! It appears sy... | |
| HELP!!!!.....RCA to XLR Termination Hi Grumpybb! If you're lucky the fostex manual may tell you how the XLR's are wired. Whether in or out of phase it ought to still work but it would be nice to get it right. Of course some stuff fitted with XLR's isn't truly balanced anyway. So if ... | |
| Better Electronics or New Cables??? Hi Slawney, I really dig your undertaker/mummy analogy. Maybe that explains why some of these cats are so deadpan serious, haha. Thanks man! | |
| HELP!!!!.....RCA to XLR Termination Hi Ugin! Here's how I do it. Unsolder old connectors with hot iron using cold scrap wire to soak up old excess solder. Cut off the tinned end of the wire. Remove about .5cm of insulation by holding wire tightly just below so as not to stretch it, ... | |
| Full Range or Monitor? Hi Jla! Nini months ago I went the other way from floorstanders (KEF Q-90's for seven years) to stand mounteds (ProAc Tablette 2000 signatures). The look is a lot less imposing, and the sound is more intimate. I can separate the monitors farther a... | |
| Power Consumption and Breakers Yep I had a similar experience, the breaker was shot and replacing it (over $50! just for the part) solved the problem. In my case the breakers were snapped onto the rails inside the service box. It was really easy to switch it out once unscrewing... | |
| Signal to Noise Ratio SDCampbell, in your example you say the noise level is 96Db below the signal yet claim that at low signal the noise becomes more apparent. Of course the latter is correct. I merely point out that a signal to noise ratio is a measurement in relatio... |
