| First Foray into XLR iealesYou make a good point there!It might just be my cynical nature but, it seems to me that XLR I/O connectors on high end consumer - audio gear is nothing more than Bling. | |
| TIGER PAW "Tranquility" (Magnetic Bearing Repulsion...) Any Good? The whole philosophy of the LP12 is - if I am not mistaken - close mechanical coupling from platter bearing through the tonearm to the stylus (and record groove) while isolating these components from outside vibrations.It seems to me that un-loadi... | |
| First Foray into XLR tweek1"Reviewers who are tasked with reviewing actual XLR kit seldom have differentially balanced systems. How many times have I read them say "I hear no difference" Meaning Editors should be shot, then hanged, then shot again..." ...then disembow... | |
| Power Cables How long has this (thread) been going on?- apologies to Paul Carrack for borrowing his lyric. ;-) | |

| Power Cables A full-wave rectifier uses both halves ot the 60Hz input flipping the negative phase of the sine wave to create a 120Hz positive-going input to the power supply filter capacitors.* These are not square pulses with high harmonic content though.http... | |
| Power Cables I remembered seeing that cartoon somewhere, so I looked it up. It is good to "Lighten-Up" when one gets too serious, isn't it? | |

| Power Cables My personal quest is to find power cords that look inconspicuous hanging from the power outlets and running along the floor moldings. ;-)RG | |
| Power Cables Quote: Ralph K. " I’ve seen a 2 1/2 volt drop rob an amplifier of about 30% of its output power. The cord was rated for 10 amps, and the draw was about 6 amps. This measurement was done with a simple 3 1/2 digit Digital Voltmeter."How about we all... | |
| Power Cables I have to dispute the assertions of the article referenced by you in your post. Current is not drawn in pulses. That is what the rectifier and filter capacitors are for - to store enough charge for smooth operation. And if the charge in the power ... | |
| Power Cables williewonkaMy example of 5.51 amps for a 100 watt amplifier refers to full power operation. If you are operating with the volume control high enough that the amp is being driven into clipping on transient peaks you need a more powerful amplifier, ... | |
