| Threat of fire from audio equipment seen many cheap chinese power amp/mixers pcbs catch fire, mostly small components.I leave all my equipment switched on, especially avr's which have the fate of not coming on again.Cant afford to loose my hk5000, the 4000 went that way. | |
| What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker? MR squires,Why not, i have been doing this for years, AND IT WORKS.MOST TWEETERS AND SOME MIDS CONTROL THE AMOUNT OF POWER TO THE TOPS WITH A NP CAP, 0.X-1UF DEPENDING ON THE POWER.BY REDUCING THE CAP IS LOWERS THE AC SIGNAL TO THE TWEETER AND BAL... | |

| The Future of Audio Amplification One point to consider with most digital is when they fail many are not repairable.They can dump a load of current and burn your speakers depending on the protection circuitry.Any professional repair center can keep your old systems running for lif... | |

| How do you know what a good speaker is? One of the best i ever owned were the pioneer S910's...those did a good job from a 40-100wrms amp,Ran them on my first new HIFI technics suv2..1978.In the late 80's picked up a monster pioneer system... | |
| Isolated Ground causes ground hum. I stand under correction but i Have found that if all are common ground with good rca cables that should sort it unless one of your devices has a switch mode power supply, that can cause chaos! | |
| How do you know what a good speaker is? Forget about the looks, specs and demo them on your amp.I have found the only way to really cover the spectrum is to use 2 or 3 pairs of different speakers.That will fill the gaps in the spectrum and let you adjust tone/volume to support your loun... | |
| Do I need a specific type of 4 gauge wire for my monoblock amp? PS I HATE SUBS...DOOF DOOF DOES NIL FOR ME.2 X 120-150W SMOOTH CONE HI FI 10'S WITH 2 X FANE COMPRESSION'S WILL CHANGE YOUR VIEW OF SUBS. ITS "MIND BLOWING" AT 30% VOLUME.A SMALL SUB IS OK AS AN ADD ON, SAY 100WRMS. | |
| Do I need a specific type of 4 gauge wire for my monoblock amp? Oh yes..and a nice big 1-2mf cap with a digital display to monitor the drop if any. Helps the alternator and battery for the low peaks.Voltage drops = clipping+distortion = heat and bang!Good luck..blow your mind..that power in a car is insane..pe... | |
| Do I need a specific type of 4 gauge wire for my monoblock amp? Dont forget to mig weld a bolt to the chassis as close to the amp as possible and use "heavy" cable for the ground.I have seen many dodgy installations where the installers use a self tapper.When it does come loose the next ground is your front lo... | |
| I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why. but i still love my control..bass and treble, stream digital from our dstv and the audio is far better than any analog transmission. | |
| I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why. about 3 or 4 pairs of different brands and sizes should cover the spectrum.more speakers does a gr8 job with stereo...can never get enough...i make changes often as i vinaled the floors...left with a hollow sound, I run 3 pairs in stereo.AR, JBL a... | |
| I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why. You need a perfect sound room and speakers for flat...I could not live without control, bass and treble. |
