Need help on power supply caps
If it is a solid state device, leave it powered up 24/7 for a couple of days. Turn the device off, unplug it from the wall and then turn the device back on. Leave it turned on but unplugged for a good period of time as you want to fully discharge ... 
Theshold T800D throws circuit breaker.
As mentioned, this is related to in-rush current ( the surge filling up the capacitors ) and / or the circuit breaker itself. Big amps with large power supply reserves can do this, especially if the amp is older and / or the breaker is older and /... 
Chicago area - Nine FM
Still listening and it is the station I have on at work in my shop. I'm not all that enamored with the fact that they DO have a specific playlist but am glad that it is still more varied than most and not nearly as many commercials.I had called up... 
"The Law of Diminishing Returns"???
The asking price for most new high end gear is absolutely ridiculous. Then again, if one was to introduce a reasonably priced product that was truly excellent, it wouldn't get the respect that it deserved because it was "too cheap". Folks might sa... 
I'm frustrated with people who don't ...
Food tickles many of our senses simultaneously. It can be seen by the eye with judgment passed either way. It can be smelled by the nose and judgment passed either way. It can be tasted with the mouth and judgment passed either way. The texture ca... 
Review: Decware Gizmo, make your Lowthers sing Tweak
As someone that is personally familiar with the inner workings of Decware, their "design lab" and how they do business, i tried to say what i could without going off the deep end. I don't doubt that the Gizmo's do nothing beneficial and only produ...

What differences betw alpha core python vs. goertz
The Alpha Core "serpent" series aka "twisted ribbons" are encased in a large quantity of lower grade dielectric. This results in a slightly different sound i.e. a reduction in micro-dynamics, increased treble smear, a slightly darker or "smoother"... 
Installing an AC Grounding System, Need Advice
Shasta: From what i can tell ( i am NOT an electrician and don't understand all of your terminology ), your post seems to advocate a redundant ground system for the AV system that ties back into the main ground system. Is this correct? If not, cou... 
Speaker Break-in
A lack of bass primarily has to do with a stiff speaker suspension. The only way to loosen the suspension and achieve greater bass output is to (1) play loud music (2) play recordings with high quantities of sustained deep bass or (3) both of the ... 
Ohm Speakers, thoughts?
Mbiker: I had a very well known "professional speaker repair facility" refoam a set of my F's years ago and they did the same thing. It caused the driver to bind up, resulting in much lower spl capability and limited low frequency output. I had to... 
Need help on power supply caps
As a general rule, the larger the capacitor in value, the lower the ESR. ESR is basically the series resistance of the cap and we want to keep that as low as possible. If you can find ESR specs for various caps, take that into consideration when s... 
will eggleston works andra 2 rock
Speakers are a VERY personal and room related decision. They will alter the perceived sonics of the system the most. With that in mind, you might be better off posting all of the pertinent info to such a question in another thread and ask for help... 
Using two out of three channels--bad for the amp?
El's suggestions are right on the money. The only thing that i would add would be to change the 10 ohm resistor to one of a higher value. By increasing the load resistance, even if the amp were to try and reproduce some type of signal i.e. RFI ind...
