| Educating Myself About Fan Noise I believe there is a separate fan cooling device for the PS3 that you might try. Low noise also fans exist (cost about $100+). The tendency is for manufacturers to use the cheapest fans possible in audio and computer gear ($20 fans).I have done DI... | |
| Is listening daily at an average of 85db safe? It makes no difference whether it is music or a finely-tuned machine, like a HD...a dB is a dB. It does. A machine at 85 db will output continuous noise at that level affecting the ear in exactly the same frequencies for a continuous period - lik... | |
| Why is a 1.5-2 volt AC signal on my Neutral line? I am glad that we were able to pinpoint the problem as being due to a Ground Loop and help you solve it! | |
| Is listening daily at an average of 85db safe? Not a problem provided it is music. This is not loud at all. If this were machinery for 8 hours a day then the answer might be different. | |
| New Tom Petty He also said that Petty is closing on N. Young as the most SQ obsessed artist on their roster. Petty owns ATC SCM 50's and so does his sound engineer, Ryan Ulyate. IMHO, he has always been obsessed about SQ. They perform together with the kind of... | |
| Why is a 1.5-2 volt AC signal on my Neutral line? other than the normal ground loop problems due to bad cabling/mains/ground etc...Yep other than the normal problems from using RCA.Please understand that stray voltages ALWAYS exist but for the majority of cases the micro-currents are small enoug... | |
| Best Blu-ray/DVD player for under $800? If you need upconversion then by all means spend the money. However, if you plan on buying BD discs then be aware that video quality is very similar on all models when playing 1080P into a TV or projector that handles 24, 50 and 60 Hz.If you need ... | |
| Bring on the criticism... There must be an imaging issue. There is no way that two speakers will sound any good unless you already had a serious imaging problem. Admittedly the baffles, with all those edges and diffraction points, on the Maxx are bit baffling. | |
| Which cost more: your system or your car? I guess mine is about the same as our Landcruiser but still a lot less than my wife's solitaire diamond ring.Guys - make sure you have your priorities right and look after your lady. Cars and Stereos are just things...they are utterly irrelevant c... | |
| Please...Advice For The Speakerly Challenged I really can't make the choice for you but based on your comments - you clearly have good ears - so you should be fine. | |
| Why is a 1.5-2 volt AC signal on my Neutral line? I gave a complex answer. Here are a few simple solutions.If the NAIM has an optical in then try that.Disconnect the video to the TV and see if the hum goes away - if it does then check your TV is grounded properly (no cheater plug).Whatever you do... | |
| Why is a 1.5-2 volt AC signal on my Neutral line? You have a ground loop issue. Neutral is grounded at the main electrical panel box however the length of cables and a poor contact somewhere (or a cheater plug) to the equipment can allow a small stray voltage to build up from some power supply le... | |
| Projector I am looking into a projector. I know it does not look as good as Plasma or LCD TVs but I like the fact that the screen can be 150 inches large. Just thought I'd update this thread with my recent experience.The above statement is no longer correc... | |
| Are projector screens transparent to sound? Just thought I'd update this thread with my recent experience.I recently got a SeymourAV Centrestage XD dropdown 120" screen and it is extremely good. It is not totally transparent (none are) with a very slight attenuation mostly in the treble. I ... | |
| Mark Knopfler live recordings As a huge Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler fan Ditto here. Knopfler is definitely an audiophile as well as a musician and song writer - always great sound. |
