| Power factor correction An easily grasped treatise on the subject: (http://www.tpub.com/neets/book2/4k.htm) | |
| Cables Are Crazy, what do you think? As applies to anything else controversial in audio: For those that can hear the difference, no explanation is necessary. To those that can't(or refuse to) hear a difference, no explanation is possible. You will run into many in life that choose to... | |
| Adding a second power outlet to existing one. OOPS: Make that- neutral on the "nickel". Some further info: (ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/electrical-wiring/part1) | |
| Adding a second power outlet to existing one. There is no "polarity" with single phase AC(125-130V/60hz house wiring). You've got a hot(usually black) wire, neutral(usually white), and hopefully an earth ground. An outlet can be "out of phase" with regard to other outlets in the house, if it'... | |
| Power cable polarity In the USA: electrical code requires the hot(120-130V/60hz/usually black) wire from the home's breaker to connect to the brass colored screw on an outlet(the right slot from the front), and the neutral wire(no voltage/usually white), to the nickle... | |
| Bi-amping B&W 703's Music has been a great love of mine for that past 45 years. If what I hear in the home doesn't live up to what I hear live(two or more times a week, acoustic and amplified), I can't get enthused at all. Most of what I own didn't cost much but my t... | |
| Tube Rolling In Audio Research Phono Preamp I've been trying to remember where I hid it myself. If I could: I'd pay off my mortgage!! | |
| Tube Amp Help/Problem At what position is your control during normal listening/loudest volume? If this noise is present at normal volume control levels: As Newbee stated, you may be using noisy tubes or have a cartridge output/phono amp mis-match. Tubes purchased for p... | |
| Studio/Performance Amps for High-End Systems? Onhwy61- And which of those companies offers a 500wpc power amp for $2500.00?(Read the original question) I know beyond doubt there are a lot of people that are happy with a "softer presentation" or a "warm, sweet, fuzzy, tubey" or whatever sound ... | |
| Bi-amping B&W 703's My digital source is a BAT VK-D5(6 NOS Siemens CCa's). Analog- a Denon DP-75(custom plinth)/Magnepan Unitrac I/Denon 103D. I'm bi-amping a pair of modded Maggies and some 8' folded, tapered, transmission lines, loaded with Nestorovic 10" woofers(I... | |
| Studio/Performance Amps for High-End Systems? Like I said: It's a short list(BUT an excellent one). The only one in Indiana is Sony DADC(Terre Haute). I've cherished the output of 20 of those studios/engineers on the list for years. | |
| Bi-amping B&W 703's Is that an SADC Sony? A lot of people have had them modded to tame a strident top-end. I'm not certain about the other Sony CDP's, but I would upgrade that(or audition something better) before making any other changes. Any kind of curtains between... | |
| Bi-amping B&W 703's OOPS- Make that: "acoustically"! | |
| Bi-amping B&W 703's The only difference you'll see with the pre-amp is, perhaps, the need to turn the gain up slightly. The output voltage for each channel will be split between the two channels of the respective power amp. Of course: each channel will have twice the... | |
| Studio/Performance Amps for High-End Systems? Shadorne- I'm certain there are quite a few brands that I've not worked on in the past 28 years, and you're correct: EMM Labs is one of them. Meitner has been designing High-end audio for years, so I'm not surprised he uses quality components in h... |
