| What should a typical house voltage read/be? My house also runs at 123 volts pretty steadily. Believe me, this is a good thing in most cases. Sean> | |
| what is the best sub amp. Gekko, you're assuming just a bit too much. There are guys with sub systems that make your four 18's per side look feeble. That is not to say that eight 18's is anything to laugh at : ) Sean> | |
| PS Audio Power Port vs. Hubbell/Leviton Boy, do i feel like a BIG dummy now. I missed the last meeting of the Chicago Audio Society, otherwise i would've been able to give you the run down on cryo. They had the owner of a cryo lab come in and explain various aspects of what takes place,... | |
| Two systems? Why? I agree with most of the comments above. Multiple systems offer far greater versatility along with the opportunity to stretch things out a bit. You can easily "flavour" different systems for different goals. With five different systems in my house... | |
| how many of you build you own speakers,and why? I agree with Karls. Speaker building has to be both a hobby and a labour of love. If it is anything less, the results will show it and NOT be worth the time and money, no matter how much you "saved". Sean> | |
| Sonic Frontiers is bankrupt? Sonic Frontiers is kind of a brief summary on the state of hi end. Hi-end is a niche market. Tubes are but a niche of that niche. When a company bases their foundation on such a small slice of the pie and can not dominate or at least garner a very... | |
| BMG Music Club - new twist I am also a member of BMG, but keep forgetting about them. As it is, i have accumulated enough "music points" to pick up even a few more freebies. As the Michelin Man above mentioned, you can buy when the deals are hot and let it slide when you're... | |
| PS Audio Power Port vs. Hubbell/Leviton Ernie, the best IEC's that we've found came on a YBA Diamond power cord. I've never been able to find out who made them for YBA though. Much more contact area and sturdier overall. I forgot about this as i was checking into it, but i've got SO man... | |
| how many of you build you own speakers,and why? Currently putting the finishing touches on my Brother's "contraption". It is a mirror imaged array of 12 drivers in twelve sealed tubes that is actively quad-amped. All the drivers for the mains are made by Morel and consist of two 9" woofers, two... | |
| Can someone help me please? I and a few others have spoken about these before. Try checking into a pair of Castle Richmonds. These are small two ways that sound somewhat "rich" and "full bodied" without coming across as being "bloated" in any manner. Since you'll be listenin... | |
| Anyone have this happen to them? Either install a metal plate on your rack that is grounded or ground an existing piece of metal. Run the ground wire directly back to the outlet, not to a component that is grounded. You then touch this before touching anything in your system. I'v... | |
| Someone should kick me in the keester What is this "OTA" and where can i read about it ? As to "low powered", the only system that i have that somewhat falls into that category would be my "antique" Marantz 8 (30 wpc). That amp may be going out the door soon in a trade ( of some type ... | |
| Alpha Core Goertz......need recommendations The Micropurl interconnects are not that high in capacitance even though the design looks somewhat similar to their speaker cable design. They took this into account when designing them. That is why they have the "extra" third conductor in them. T... | |
| Question for users of bare wire ends speaker cable Karls, the SHAPE and SURFACE AREA of the wire is what determines if there will be a problem with skin effect. That is why Tara uses an oval wire, as it has more surface area than a round wire. Goertz takes this WAY further and makes the entire con... | |
| Anyone compare outlets? I know that some specific Pass & Seymour's are highly respected over at the AA cable forum. Can't remember the specific part numbers, but a search would turn them up.As to Albert's comment's, if you break most of this stuff down to the bare es... |
