| 20 foot long speaker cable: is it ok? P.S: Speaker cable capacitance, that was mentioned in the post that was subsequently deleted, will not affect the speakers. Since it presents itself in parallel with the speakers if it affects anything it would be the amplifier. And in any event t... | |
| 20 foot long speaker cable: is it ok? I would respectfully disagree with an earlier comment in this thread by a member who appears to have subsequently deleted his post. In addition to the actual experiences with long speaker cables that have been reported by other members, such as St... | |
| 20 foot long speaker cable: is it ok? A number of members here have reported good results using speaker cables in the area of 20 to 25 feet. Also, generally speaking, the higher the impedance of the speaker the less sensitive it will be to speaker cable effects. I found an impedance... | |
| If aftermarket premium power cords work, why won’t short runs of premium XLR cables work? Thanks for the clarification. Looks like Ralph interpreted the question correctly. In this case I suspect the answer is even less predictable than what he stated, because I doubt that anyone here has detailed knowledge of what is in the "network b... | |
| Right Angle Adapters Hi Bob,I’ve had good results with Audioquest’s own adapters, costing $14.95:https://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=AQICE90Note that you’ll need to select either the center pin down or the center pin up version of the adapter, depending o... | |
| If aftermarket premium power cords work, why won’t short runs of premium XLR cables work? I think that what Handymann is asking is that since a well chosen power cord is often said to provide a benefit, despite its short length relative to the much longer length of the wiring that is upstream of it, why wouldn’t a short length of XLR c... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 I’ve also noticed that when I’m increasing or decreasing volume by holding down the volume button, I’m getting pops from the speakers, usually after increments of 4-5 (apart from the resistor clicks). Should I be worried @benlzy, the only suggesti... | |
| Weakest link - a different question? An excellent question. In my case I combine a multitude of approaches:1) I compare results listening via speakers with listening via my very revealing Stax electrostatic headphones. Headphone listening, of course, takes the room, the speakers, and... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 @Benlzy, after looking at interior photos of the amp, and specifically at the vertically oriented printed circuit board that is adjacent to the input connectors at the rear, I’m guessing that the XLR input is received single-ended. Meaning that on... | |
| Bands with great second albums I would add to the good suggestions above "Projections," the second album of The Blues Project. While most of my listening is to classical music, this is one of my all-time favorite rock albums.Regards,-- Al | |
| A song murdered by someone. Great point, @Larryi, about the legitimacy and appropriateness of disparate interpretations of great songs. And the version of "Unchained Melody" by Sam Cooke is indeed very nice IMO.FWIW, while I recognize and respect the fact that the version by... | |
| Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 @JCarcopo, I took a look at the manual for the 3400, and here are some things that appear to me may be worth trying:1) There is a limiter function that can be engaged via the menus. Try that, if you already haven’t.2) The section in the manual on ... | |
| Switched from RCA to XLR Interconnects - WOW Switching from RCA to XLR is only worththe extra time and money is if, you have a True differential balanced from input to output for each channel . While a lot of audiophiles believe what Audioman58 has stated above, I would respectfully but emph... | |
| Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 Shadorne 9-20-2018 I will add that digital room correction is a mixed bag. If the software is trying to heavily boost a null in the bass then it could easily cause your amplifier to clip in the bass even at modest volume levels. +1. My thoughts ex... | |
| Switched from RCA to XLR Interconnects - WOW Does this mean that its output is not a true balanced design? No. I took a look at the manual and the specs for your DSPeaker, and the fact that the maximum output voltages are specified as being approximately twice as great for the XLR outputs as... |
