| High-Def TVs? "Why would anyone want to watch a TV with such a pitifully poor picture?"Because we don't buy HDTVs to watch standard definition TV.If your prime interest is still in standard definition broadcast/programming, you simply might not be a good candid... | |
| My Levinson 333 is buzzing from both speakers? Make a temporary test by putting a 2-prong "cheater plug" on the power cord. If the buzz goes away it is a ground loop problem and nothing inherently wrong with the amp. | |
| bullet proof amp Why would anyone put amps like those (Aragon, Mac, Bryston, Forte, et al) in a "shop system" where it's going to be abused by the environment? Not to mention who might be operating it. | |
| bullet proof amp Sure, but gone are the days when touring amps weigh >100lbs each for a mere 300 or 600 watts.Heck, I've got amps that will put out 3,600 watts (if you can supply enough input juice) and weigh only 30lbs, and they're bloated pigs by today's TOTL... | |
| bullet proof amp Buy a pro audio amp. They're designed to take abuse in commercial sound systems and operate in less than ideal condtions of use. However, I agree wtih Shadome that damage to the speakers is a bigger condern than what amplifer is used.If you don't ... | |
| Audio grade 30 amp plugs/connectors? Keithmundy,As far as I know, it's not permissible by electrical code to use 30A breaker with 15A or 20A receptacles; no matter how many of them are connected to the circuit. | |
| How to evaluate amps that are not broken in? My experience with human nature is that those with a passionately held and generally negative position will press their case vociferously and indefinitely, even in the face of volumes of contradictory evidence, particularly if this evidence does n... | |
| How to evaluate amps that are not broken in? Doesn't it seem odd that "break in" always seems to result in an improvement, never a change for the worse? | |
| Anyone ever refoam Bose 901's? You need to be sure you get the proper EQ for the series of 901s you have. They're not all the same. | |
| Differences in electric outlets No doubt there are quality and mechanical differences between receptacles.Whether those differences result in an audible change is an entirely different matter.Personally, I'd skip the hospital grade and other high-dollar stuff and get good qualit... | |
| A-V receiver power ratings Volts x Amps = Watts, and from a purely mathematical standpoint, 100 volts at 5 amps is 500 watts - as is 5 volts at 100 amps as mentioned by Saki70.The problem is that you can't just arbitrarily mix the volts and the amps and end up with the same... | |
| How do I connect two preamps at the same time? Perhaps consider getting a preamp with HT bypass capability.This allows a fairly "straight wire" unity gain path through the preamp for HT, but provides the purity of 2-ch playback you want for non-HT sources because the pre/pro isn't in the signa... | |
| does anyone sharpie thier CD's??? WOW!! Works even when it's outside the room.Simply amazing. You better get ahold of Randi post-haste. | |
| Words From the Wise If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. | |
| does anyone sharpie thier CD's??? 10-06-07: FreemandKidding about what?? I want to know if there is science or any known science in the cleaver little clock.I was also curious, that if there is no known science, then does a product not work and its placebo cause of no science?They... |
