| How many dbs i will gain with 0,6mv cart.vs 0,3mv? 6dB, but why is this a problem? Why does the phono have to be at the same volume setting as the CD player? It is generally agreed that the further up the volume control is the better so the CD player is really the problem.If you like the Shelter j... | |
| Willow wept ON ME I'm sure they don't listen to every single record. You have a defective pressing. Return it. | |
| Connecting a Step Up Transformer I think you are trying to solve a non-existent problem. The phono is not going to be as quiet as the CD no matter what you do. In between songs you will almost always hear some noise. If it doesn't interfere with the music then forget about it. Ad... | |
| Connecting a Step Up Transformer The closer the volume control is set to wide open the better off you are. If you are 12:00 to 1:00 then you have plenty of gain and it would be better if you could turn it up more, not less. If you set the volume lower with your CD player then I w... | |
| Dedicated Line If you have to ask you don't know enough to do this. Hire a competent electrician.GS5558, I recently had a a new 200 amp service installed and the electrician told me they had to install a backup ground wire from the breaker box to a water pipe in... | |

| Changeing RCA to XLR I agree with Albert, XLR gives a much better connection, and even though his phono stage input isn't balanced it will accept an XLR connector so the secure connection does give you peace of mind.Whoever decide that the RCA connector was a good sta... | |
| How to merge two hard drives into one on iTunes? Rives, that will work but playlists will be lost if that is a concern. | |
| How to merge two hard drives into one on iTunes? It can be undone since it leaves the files where they were and only makes copies. 1. make a backup copy of the itunes .xml and .itl file that are in the iTunes music folder so you can restore them if your new library isn't as you like it.2. in adv... | |
| a Power vs Volume Question Mbacinello, yes it holds true, a watt is a watt.The confusion is caused by manufactures who state sensitivity in terms of voltage instead of power. It takes 2.83V to produce 1W into 8 ohms. This same voltage produces 2W into a 4 ohm speaker. This ... | |
| a Power vs Volume Question Greg, you are confused, do some research and you will see you are wrong on all counts except that 6dB is 4x power.Elvick's chart clearly shows a doubling of power for every 3dB. Robert Harley's book on high end audio states “each increase in SPL o... | |
| a Power vs Volume Question each doubling of SOUND PRESSURE level (i.e. spl), i.e. what we "listen to", is 6dB. You need four times the "power" to achieve double sound pressure -- in fact twice "as loud". Yr mic should record +6 dB when your power rises 4times.In other words... | |
| a Power vs Volume Question Each doubling of power increases loudness by 6 db. The ear perceives a 10 db increase in sound level as a doubling of volume. Actually a doubling of power is 3dB, a doubling of voltage is 6dB.Loudness and volume are the same thing.It should read "... | |
| a Power vs Volume Question This is a simplified response:Sound pressure levels are expressed in dB and the softest sound a normal person can hear is around 4dB. The threshold of pain is somewhere around 130dB, but this isn't 32.5 times the pressure level of 4dB. It is close... | |
| a Power vs Volume Question You think 172dB is double the volume of 85dB? You are kidding, right?Maab, the ampunt of power delivered is determined by the input to the amp and the gain of the amp. The gain is basically how many times the amp multiplies the strength of the inp... |
