| What causes microphonics ? If a component is microphonic, you can bet your bottom dollar that it is affecting the sonics.In terms of what is causing this, it could be tube based or something as simple yet complex as an intermittent solder connection. Short of pulling and re... | |
| Not a ground loop hum??? Swampwalker: Your preamp is poorly designed and lacks stability. Adding the conductivity of your body to the electrical characteristics of the preamp via chassis ground is enough to alter the performance of the circuit in what is an audible manner... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Twl: Regarding "double-speak", my stating that the Audiopoints are not a mechanical diode does not preclude the items from having certain characteristics that may differ somewhat directionally, nor having characteristics that may behave differentl... | |
| Your opinion on cable spending Jayctoy: How does one "determine the cable that will match your system"? What happens if one cable selection upsets the balance that another cable selection in a different part of the system was able to achieve? How does one go about knowing which... | |
| Not a ground loop hum??? Try this thread about Noise, hum and AC polarity. Sean>PS... I am by NO means a "super-patriot", but your humourous response tells me that you at least weren't offended by my crass sense of humour : ) | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Twl: Robert of Sistrum has posted in these forums before. He has never responded in a coherent manner to any of the same questions brought up here in those earlier threads / responses. Given that he should consider this a golden opportunity to adv... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Flex: you are right on the money. Since one can't "channel" or "couple" ALL of the energy at every frequency universally equally, there will always be "residual energy" at various frequencies left behind. What does the Sistrum do with the "residue... | |
| High quality custom length Toslinks??? Thanks to everyone for all of the feedback. Lot of good info in this thread, especially from blownfiveo regarding Sys. Concepts. Lots of parts and custom assemblies available from this company, all at very reasonable prices. Unfortunately, they do... | |
| Woofer on Top Speakers Roy is right on the money. El's answer is more entertaining though : ) Sean> | |
| Replacing sound proofing in cabniets Richard: I agree that Fiberglass is typically a GREAT insulator inside of sealed speakers, but due to all of the health hazards and variables involved, i'm hesitant to recommend it unless i know exactly what's going on. After getting "bit" a few t... | |
| Not a ground loop hum??? Mghcanuck: I just realized that, going by your moniker, you are probably Canadian. If that is the case, i can no longer help you. Sorry 'bout dat.Bwahahaha. I had to do that just for the sake of Pbb always spouting off about Canada and the superio... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Twl said: I think you are reading more into what I wrote than what I intended. I never said that the shape doesn't matter, I only said that it does not act as a mechanical diode.Sean: If such is the case, energy is transferred equally in both dire... | |
| What does Holographic mean to you? Did any of you folks ever listen to / hear / experience a properly set up Carver "Sonic Holography" based system? Sean> | |
| low tech rubber tweaks Unclejeff: You're not fooling anyone if you say that you just bought the bottled wine to get the corks. The vibrations to the floor are still there, but you just can't tell anymore : ) Sean> | |
| Not a ground loop hum??? Have you ever verified that your equipment and AC outlets are properly oriented in terms of polarity? Some components are HIGHLY sensitive to AC polarity. Having one component that is not oriented properly connected to others that are oriented pro... |
