| XLR to RCA conversion Ground loop. Power amp should have grounded AC. Lift ground to the preamp. Use only unbalanced RCA interconnects. Unshielded twisted pair is best, by far. Unless the system is balanced in and out, there is no advantage to a balance XLR cable. No ... | |
| 50 ways to leave your lover What passes for dazzling technique in rock is no big deal for a competent jazz drummer. The way rock drummers hold their sticks limits the precision and speed with which they play. Loud, louder, and loudest. "50 Ways" was not that sort of tune, bu... | |
| another rookie question - preamp or or power amp Preamp has controls, sometimes a phono stage, sends line level. Power amp takes line level and ramps it up to speaker level. You need both, though they may be combined in one chassis (integrated amplifier). | |
| Balanced XLR vs RCA for phono stage Keep it simple: Ultra-low capacitance but shielded RCA terminated cables, the shorter, the better - never longer than one meter. And an external chassis ground cable, as heavy as practical for minimal resistance at the ground plane. Anything else... | |
| RCA versus XLR interconnects Simple answer - Two meters or shorter, use unbalanced (RCA) cables. The common mode rejection which makes balanced line and mic cables suitable for long distances is not an advantage here. If anything, it is a disadvantage, requiring an additiona... | |

When that the twisted pair is pure solid core silver soft temper wire i... | |
| what to do with a stereo that needs repair Touch the tubes - carefully. Is there any heat in the small tubes, the power tubes? Swap the tubes left to right and vice versa. Is the same channel is still dead? Unplug the amp, IMPORTANT! Remove the bottom and see if there are any obvious wi... | |
| Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align May I suggest three - albums, not tunes. Two you might know and one you most likely don’t. 1. Frank Sinatra & Jobim - Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim Beautiful songs masterfully performed and recorded. A masterpiece, Sinatra... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" Nice Ad hominem, response, Nitwit. Trash. Period. I'm done here. | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" Rolling Stone to Ray Charles: How did it feel to be labeled the Genius? "I ignored it. I’m not a genius. Art Tatum – that man was a genius. Charlie Parker was a genius..". Bet you never even heard of Tatum or Bird. Rap/Hip-Hop is arrogant, destr... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" Nitwit sez:"Yet another overgeneralized and stuck in the past response. Made even more interesting by the fact that Rihanna is not even American." When something is worth listening to, I don’t care if it is a day or a century old, I will give it ... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" Music is in the ear of the beholder. Any art form is subject to one’s personal perception. There are some who might not consider paint randomly splashed on a canvas spread out on the floor to be "art", yet Jackson Pollock’s paintings are worth a f... | |
