| Would like an opinion on hooking up PC to audio If you like the way it sounds, then it's fine, enjoy. But the stock outputs on computers are usually somewhat noisy (hum, static) and I am sure that you would notice a 100% improvement in imaging, depth, detail, and timbre if you went with an afte... | |
| How do you know if you need a power conditioner? Thank you all, that helps a lot. I understand now that people's situations vary and that sometimes a power conditioner may improve things and sometimes not, and that experimentation is key. Also everyone agrees that dedicated lines are the way to ... | |
| Which is Best loudspeaker in the $1000-1200 range? Are you willing to buy used, or new only? | |
| Is KEF no longer relevant? Donbellphd, the fact that you are referring your 104/2's which were introduced in 1984 underscores my point exactly. And the 102/2's are 1990.It seems that KEF is no longer a leader. And even if it's true that they are focusing their attention mos... | |
| Why do amp A-B switch-boxes have a watt rating? Once again the A'gon team provides a wealth of information and completely answers the question! Thanks all.Chazz, I guess I was hoping to have at least two of my speaker pairs benefit from the Stratos, but maybe you're right and adding a cheap rec... | |
| Why do amp A-B switch-boxes have a watt rating? Thank you Joeylawn & Kr4, I would have to guess that with my 150wpc amp, that since I'm never really blasting the music, that there is probably no real problem since I probably am not putting out over 100 watts at any time.But then my next que... | |
| What Speakers Do Audio Insiders Own? Steinway57, I completely understand your very logical point, but fortunately, I think that it is NOT the case - Phew!To me it is like a photographer using an expensive large format camera with a fantastic lens and dirty viewfinder. He still can ma... | |
| What Speakers Do Audio Insiders Own? Well I may qualify as one of those "audio insiders"... As a producer and engineer, I have recorded a number of Billboard top twenty songs, mostly in the pop and dance genres. (Reina, Jocelyn Enriquez, Kim Sozzi, Dee Robert, Mynt ...) I also produc... | |
| Computer comparison I am familiar with the audio pc's you asked about, and Onhwy has it completely right. Except for the advantage of being extremely quiet, everything else in the computer will be overkill for you except for the soundcard (you need a great sound card... | |
| What exactly does "Hospital Grade" mean? Hi Jae48, yes I do have one dedicated line coming from the main circuit breaker box at present. Right now it only contains just a consumer grade receptacle - meaning one dual outlet. I have an Arrow Hart 8200 on the way to me, which I've read some... | |
| What exactly does "Hospital Grade" mean? Jea48, can you please explain the benefit of "Contact Pressure"? I mean I know what it means, but are you saying that the better contact pressure of hospital grade outlets is desireable because of an enhanced electrical flow, or as some others see... | |
| What exactly does "Hospital Grade" mean? Thank you all for the replies, especially Albertporter - that pdf seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. However, upon reading that pdf, it seems that the primary differences are "grounding reliability, assembly integrity, strength and durab... | |
| Owning too many speakers "Are there others with this type of speaker interest?" LOL!!!Are you kidding??? Welcome to the jungle brother! You are at home here! Most of us here are similarly afflicted. BTW, in answer to the title of your post - you CAN'T own too many speaker... | |
| Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact? Can someone who's listened to these give me some sort of reference as to just how good they are for the money? I mean I see that it's obvious from the previous posts that they sound way better than their $40 price would suggest... but does that me... | |
| Can a PC match the quality of the best CD players? Aha... Edesilva, Kenn39, the fog around my head is slowly beginning to clear. Thank you, I now "get it". So I guess to answer my own question that started this thread - "Can a PC match the quality of the best CD players?" - the answer is a definit... |
