| Upgrading power cord.. proven upgrade? or crap? The level that a power cord will affect a component or entire system is dependent on several factors:1) The design of the component. Is the product prone to changes in impedance at the source of the power supply ? This can also effect how much ele... | |
| Connecting two amps-bi-amp cabling You better contact the amp manufacturer if you want to remain a happy camper. It only takes one second of "theory put into practice" to produce enough smoke to haunt you for a lifetime. I would rather be safe than sorry.... Sean> | |
| What is the BEST resistor for audio use All passive components sound the same i.e. a resistor is a resistor, a capacitor is a capacitor, wire is wire, etc... So long as all parts used are within a specific tolerance, they should all measure the same electrically. Since test equipment is... | |
| Big sub-woofer sitting on carpet HELP Glen, are you having a hard time "integrating" the sub with the rest of the system or are you just in the mood to "tweak" ? Sean> | |
| DC Power/AC Inverter power supply I agree with the above. Inverters are EXTREMELY power hungry. Most are FILTHY in terms of electrical and RF hash & trash. I can't see the benefits coming anywhere close to the amount of hassle one would have to go through. If you are THAT worr... | |
| i have hummmmmmmm. My first guess is that some components are at different ground potential than the other components due to the isolated wiring / outlets. This is PROBABLY due to your house wiring producing a "ground loop". If that is the case, playin with your com... | |
| No cost Power Cord Upgrade/Tweak Now you know why so many people are having "good luck" with a dedicated ground for just the audio system. It minimizes the amount of trash that comes INTO the system courtesy of what is the "common" ground while still offering TRUE ground potentia... | |
| Difference between Forte 4 and 4A amp ? NEWSFLASH: A rehash of old info that pertains to this new thread about old gear : )I was digging through some audio rags and ran across some information that might explain some of the variances regarding these amps. Moncrieff of IAR stated that th... | |

| Specs for JVC M-L10 power & P-L10 pre Here's what i could find out about these pieces. Hope this helps you in some way.M-L10 was rated at 160 wpc @ 8 ohms with no specs given for 4 ohm loads. Power Bandwidth ( which is different from frequency response ) was rated at 20 Hz to 20 Khz a... | |
| Difference between Forte 4 and 4A amp ? Thong, i had to laugh when i initially saw your name ( Sas quach ) tied to this thread. Given my email address ( bigfoot1 ) and my liking of these amps, i found it to be too much of a coincidence.As to the bottom end of this amp, i don't think tha... | |
| DIY Cat 5 speaker cables.... George, what is the difference between the 5E and standard CAT5 ? I know that the plenum uses a different insulation on the wires themselves. As to using these cables, most of the "DIY" designs suggest removing the outer jacket and simply twisting... | |
| Looking for Tuner/Preamp combo Eric, i don't see any problem with using an older AV tuner / preamp for a "whole house" type of system. The reason that i say this is that you're not going to be able to get the ultimate in fidelity due to the length of wire runs and (probably) th... | |
| How BIG is yours? I've got about 500 CD's and 1000 LP's. I would have TONS more vinyl but suffered through a house fire several years back. Needless to say, records do not take well to intense heat.As to which i'd rather spend my money on, it has been rather lopsid... | |
| Difference between Forte 4 and 4A amp ? Your statements are completely valid and thanks for the clarification. I'm sorry if i came across as belittling. While i would agree that none of the Forte's are "bass masters" and have previously stated so, i don't really consider the 6's to be "... |
