| Why do AC cords make so much difference? Piezo: Your comments about low inductance to Audioengr are something that i've tried to stress to him in other posts. It is not so much the low inductance than can be helpful in low current demands as it can be the added capacitance that many such... | |
| Anybody stop using power conditioning? I have no doubt that the results that folks have achieved are exactly as stated. As we all know, not only is there the consideration of how much power is delivered, but also the quality and speed in which it can be delivered. Audioengr provided a ... | |
| What is a switching power supply for amps and Bigtee: Thanks for the additional info. I don't know how Hitachi or Soundcraftsman worked their designs, but i do remember the Hitachi being produced prior to NAD showing up on the market. Sounds like there were more than one company / engineer th... | |
| Let's forget about being politically correct Unsound: I think that 6chac was trying to say that there really are no answers, only more questions to be asked. How one asks or responds to those questions will depend on their perspective : ) Sean> | |
| Silver DIY Interconnects You guys crack me up with 22 gauge being too heavy for interconnects. Then again, i'm sure that the feeling is just the opposite on your end when i talk about "too much power is not enough" : )For the record, 20 gauge is "linear" up to and slightl... | |
| What is a switching power supply for amps and Gs: The frequency that the power supply switches at is typically well above the audible range in an audio component. Most will be at 80 KHz or above from what i've seen. Some are quite a bit higher than that and / or are quite "dirty", producing s... | |
| Let's forget about being politically correct YOW !!! I'm sticking to reading "The Far Side" or "Dilbert" and laughing. All of this other stuff makes my head hurt too much.... Sean> | |
| Why do AC cords make so much difference? I'm going to start marketing some power cords very soon and decided to share the design here with you folks.First of all, you start off with heavy ( 8, 10 or 12 gauge ) bare copper wire. You then take all three conductors and twist them together a... | |
| Anybody stop using power conditioning? Thank you Stehno. You've summed things up quite well. Unless one has equipment or power cords with some type of low pass filtration built into it, there is still PLENTY of AC grunge getting into their equipment even with dedicated lines. Then agai... | |
| Silver DIY Interconnects What gauge does that equate to ? Is it "pure" silver or is it silver plated copper ? Any jacket on the wire and if so, what is the dielectric material used ? Sean> | |
| ++++StereoPhile Class A components+++++ NO, i don't agree with most of what their ratings have to say and / or how equipment is ranked. Having said that, i'm waiting for Musical Fidelity to start making speakers. After all, why wouldn't they ? We already know that they would surely warr... | |
| Why do AC cords make so much difference? The info that Mr Crump presented about iron core transformers vs toroidals is pretty well known to anyone that has ever measured various aspects of transformer performance. Bob and i are basically on the same page in this regard and on several oth... | |
| Review: Decware Gizmo, make your Lowthers sing Tweak For an overview of the product as seen through the eyes of its' creator and how / why he came up with such a product, try taking a look at Steve Deckert's "Decware / Zen Audio" Website. I will only add that i see several problems with how the meas... | |

| Let's forget about being politically correct Asa: I was able to follow along with your last post 100% : ) I have to say that i agree with the points that you were making and found one point particularly interesting. That is, your comments about Nordost cabling. The little bit of Nordost that... |
