| An EXPERIMENT for those who have never heard differences in cables For those special individuals, ignorant of available magnet wire gauges: https://www.amazon.com/TEMCo-AWG-Copper-Magnet-Wire/dp/B071JC7LKK btw: The air-core inductors in many of your crossovers, are already passing current to your low freq d... | |
| An EXPERIMENT for those who have never heard differences in cables No doubt, here, there would be an audible difference. Never, will I attempt to dissuade another from experimenting. It’s always been my belief that the Dielectric Coefficient (and polarization) of any material, around a cable’s conductor... | |
| An EXPERIMENT for those who have never heard differences in cables The coating’s usually referred to as, "enamel", which can be made of various materials. ie: https://www.elantas.com/europe/products/wire-enamels.html I’ve generally removed it with an X-acto blade and a light scraping action, toward the ... | |
| Burn in discs vs. music for new speakers SO, Georgie- You’re telling me you have nothing but opinion pieces and anecdotal evidence. Funny, but- that’s what you're constantly whining about, regarding fuses. btw: No one, thus far on this thread, has said anything about suspen... | |
| Burn in discs vs. music for new speakers Anyone paying attention will notice; the B139 and 1814 drivers didn’t have a round frame/front suspension. The Physics of having flat, horizontal, mountings (in most applications), would come into play, regarding sag But; I never saw any ... | |
| Burn in discs vs. music for new speakers The above doesn’t include down-firing woofers, such as might be found in a Leslie, or subwoofer system. I have seen those sag. Just my own experience (YMMV). YEP: another 20 yo zombie-thread (as Ralph calls them), resurrected by s... | |
| What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby? I have, on occasion, sent prime examples (VERY low hours) of tubes from my NOS, backup stash, to AudiogoN members who’ve asked about, "the best" of the 6SN7 and/or 6DJ8/6922 types, to taste for themselves. A little over 2 1/2 months ago; I s... | |
| Burn in discs vs. music for new speakers I bought a $69.00 CD/DVD player and this disc, specifically for burning in things: https://www.amazon.com/Cardas-Acoustics-Irrational-Efficacious-Burn/dp/B00OY8UXME The disc has Pink, Brown and White Noise tracks, that can be played on Repea... | |
| 100v,115v versus 230v "To add further insult to injury, the amount of time your pump runs to circulate the water will also double (compared to a pump in a 220-volt system)." WRONG! The typical, dual voltage, AC(single phase) electric motor, when attached to a pum... | |
| I think they're making fun of us... Cute! They’re obviously full of themselves. | |
| Where has been your most effective placement for an aftermarket fuse? @clearthinkder- "The best cost $500 a pop,....." Interesting! What fuse is priced at $500.00, specifically? Certainly: nothing that’s been mentioned here. Have I overlooked one? | |
| Where has been your most effective placement for an aftermarket fuse? @clearthinker - Your improvement conjecture could potentially prove true, but- Math is not your forte. | |
| Your advice on a good cable @thyname- "LOL!!! you found a thread from 2001 (almost 19 years ago) to make this post." Seems: they’ve found a new hobby/habit/compulsion! | |
| Aftermarket fuse for subwoofers? Forgive George’s lack of self-restraint (OCD). | |
| Aftermarket fuse for subwoofers? Consider me a major proponent, having experienced the various subtle, but highly enjoyable improvements in reproduction, that fuse experiments/upgrades have made, in my system. Though I wouldn’t consider doing without them in my main amps, CD... |
