| life span/failure rate of filter capacitors? Not all electrolytic caps are created equal. Some have high temperature ratings (good), higher mtf (good), higher ripple current (good), higher esr (bad). Thing is, each one of these parameters can be important, so try to find out everything you c... | |
| I have an idea for an audio product what should I do? It’s everyone’s dream, but most people’s downfall. Don’t spend anything that you can’t afford to lose. And make sure that your wife is onboard before you spend a dime. Take a week to read about how other inventors are doing before you jump in. Ju... | |

| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll My 4 Class A monoblocks use about 1/2 kW total, which heats the room nicely for most of the year, for less than a dollar a day. Not ideally green, perhaps, but then I don't drive a pickup truck or commute 30 miles either. | |
| Building a house @dodgealum Just saw your post. Hope this is not too late. I did an old world solution for my home theatre: sand. I put mixed fine and coarse sand into the spaces between joists, about 2". That is: at the framing stage, double or triple all jois... | |
| Grado Epoch 3 Thank you! Just exploring possibilities so far. | |
