| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons Some great points from Golix and i agree with some of the points that he's making here too. This is the reason that i love my modified Ohm F's, warts and all, and why i've said what i have about them. You've got one driver that is both phase and t... | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons Good thread and great technical contributions from Roy and Karl. Good points also brought up by Seandtaylor99 i.e. parts quality has improved in terms of speaker technology, but how well that has been implimented in most designs may be another sto... | |
| Speltz Anti Cables Drubin: Probably the easiest way to twist cabling is to anchor one end in a vise and then gradually twist the wires in a consistent manner. Longer cable lengths can be a problem, so keep adjusting the lenghth of exposed cabling by moving the clamp... | |
| Speaker Wire for a non-anal listener Erikkellison: It's not the gauge so much as it is the depth of the conductor that causes skin effect. Using ANY type of stranded wire basically increases this problem, so using a smaller gauge stranded wire doesn't resolve the problem. This is why... | |
| VH Flavor Four power cord with SCHUKO plug adapter So long as the connections are both clean and tight, i wouldn't worry too much about using some type of reasonably designed adapter. There are already so many connections and impedance bumps within the AC line and power supply of your component th... | |
| Adcom GFP-750 vs Parasound P/LD-2000 Preamps? Running a preamp and power amp from the same designer / manufacturer tends to colour the sound in one particular fashion too heavily in my experience. That's because all of the same design goals / circuit implimentation / sonic traits of the pream... | |
| Speaker Wire for a non-anal listener The second link, which i screwed up, should have been as follows:Parts Express 4x14 gauge spiral wrapped #100-768Sorry 'bout dat. My being away for a few days has taken toll on my ability to post : ) Sean> | |
| Speaker Wire for a non-anal listener Stick with a low inductance design. This means some type of twisted pair or spiral wrapped star quad cabling. Due to the length of the cable, you need to keep the gauge on the heavier side. Having said that, using a heavy gauge in a high inductanc... | |
| Multi-Outlet with NO Conditioning Any person capable of angering you becomes your master; he can anger you only when you permit yourself to be disturbed by him. - Epictetus (55-135 AD) You'll no longer make me angry or upset, for you are not my master : ) Sean> | |
| Can I use both sets of analog outs on my CD player If both line level inputs that you'll be connecting to have been used equally, you should get equal results. One of my friends was using a dvd player to listen to CD's. After taking his system apart, he switched the output of his DVD player into t... | |
| Multi-Outlet with NO Conditioning Stehno: You keep talking about "good power line conditioners" but failed to explain or even offer any type of valid opinion as to what makes one model better than another in that previously mentioned thread. That's why i didn't bother to go there.... | |
| Speltz Anti Cables The more twists per foot, the lower the inductance and wider the bandwidth. That is, so long as you can keep from severely bending / kinking the cable and maintain a consistent twist ratio. Personally, i would shoot for one turn every 2 inches or ... | |
| Multi-Outlet with NO Conditioning If one has 24 outlets feeding off of a dedicated line that is truly capable of providing 15 amps ( 1800 watt ) from a single duplex outlet, and all of their gear only adds up to 800 - 1200 watts of draw at any given time, where does the current li... | |
| Slew rate and rise time Local feedback is a correction network for only a small segment of the circuitry whereas global feedback compares the signal at the output of the amp to the input of the amp and tries to correct accordingly. As such, there is less to monitor and l... | |
| Multi-Outlet with NO Conditioning Stehno: I hear what you're saying and agree on most parts. Having said that, it might have been more appropriate to ask Peter if he's taken those factors into consideration before telling him that what he wants to do isn't going to do what you thi... |
