| AC Power Question My situation is a 15yr old house governed by Canadian electrical code, which is for the most part consistent with the US NEC. The reason the builder used 14/3 for those branch circuits was purely economics based. In Canadian electrical code, a clo... | |
| Can Sony TC-377 reel to reel tape deck with 60 cycle power be used with 50 cycle power If it uses synchronous motors, it will not run at the correct speed at 50Hz. | |
| Can a 75 ohm digital rca cable be used in place of a regular rca interconnect? @rotarius No not at all. 75 ohm is the characteristic impedance of a coax cable. Google it for a proper technical explanation. Nope. Not even remotely correct. Coaxial cables come in more than one characteristic impedance, and that is “Z” for i... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl @audiolouis, are you referring to phase and not polarity? | |
| AC Power Question @cleeds Will you please explain what "back-current" is? If you have a 14-3 cable, then each of the hot wires come from different legs of your service, correct? (After all, that's why they can share a neutral.) Please explain how a changing load on... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl @audioman58 yes sometimes the truth can be painful.go to Any quality store and you will see, maybe for the first timeyour $500 CD player is as basic as it gets You get what you pay for !!You should not be so easily shaken. A CD player can be had f... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl @audioman58, were you trying to make a point in your post? If so, it was lost in the gibberish and half-wit suggestive innuendo. By the way, saying that vinyl is 12-bit is insane. You do know that it’s analog don’t you? | |
| Can a 75 ohm digital rca cable be used in place of a regular rca interconnect? @loomisjohnson You are going to be concerned about frequency spectrum and bandwidth with 15kHz analog video (which is obsolete) much, much, much more than with analog audio. Noise rejection is another thing that lowly unbalanced analog audio cable... | |
| Can a 75 ohm digital rca cable be used in place of a regular rca interconnect? Nominal impedance is so because of the specific operating frequency that the measurements are taken. Obviously, a cable designed to convey a 500MHz Manchester encoded digital signal will be capable of conveying audio spectrum just as well, but noi... | |
| AC Power Question Being an Electronics Engineer, I live in both sides of this equation. Take this example:Builders do the dumbest things you can imagine, which further compounds issues. For example, my 3000 sq ft house has a second floor laundry near the front of t... | |
| AC Power Question The load placed on each of Lowrider57’s circuits is minimal and relatively steady. Placing both on the same leg is good practice based on the application. If you think you’re going to have a perfectly balanced panel just by arbitrarily splitting l... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl @ct0517 rap sucks. You can’t be serious about sound quality if you are planning to listen to that tripe. As for your other hyperbole, just try listening to music instead of rap and you’ll appreciate the benefits of analog, and might just admit how... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl @itsjustmeCould you start with the entire system chain so we know what you were hearing, and the material, so we know the mastering?It’s pretty straight-forward. I listen to material recorded to LPs in the 60’s and 70’s on a completely analog (exc... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl @chakster The goal of analog is ANALOG, not a digital converted to analog. Get youself some proper original records from the 70’s to make sure you’re listening to the state of the art analog, not a digitally remastered reissue or new music recorde... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl Not as much as you might think. Vinyl will eventually lose sound quality after dozens of plays. In the hands of a person who cleans their records, handles them properly, cleans their stylus and uses a line contact or Shibata stylus profile, vinyl ... |
