| DIY speakers, Power handling. Slap, you've got too many today!You're right,The woofer takes the most if it while the tweeter uses just a-little. Tweeter uses only 3...7% of the power. | |
| How long should vinyl last? I have brand new records that behaive that they're warped.I have records over 50y.o and they're still sound brand new.Any case if I buy records I make sure that they at least look new. | |
| jumper materials/methods. The best jumping material is your own speaker wire.If you don't want to break it than figure what it's gauge and use the same to step up for the next binding post. | |
| Whats wrong with short cables? To make it real simple, you don't need to worry unless you're aiming to use 20...30' of speaker wire length.Most of the commercial or so-called audiophile calbe manufacturers do not provide a reactance of wire. It requires an engineering signal an... | |

| start upgrade for nadc370/sony555es/linn katan? Here's my path:1. speaker preferably with dual binding posts. Medowlark Shearwater, Totem Forrest or Mani-2.2. nad c270 amp for bass and your integrated for top-end in bi-amp configuration as your integrated has already preamp outputs for such pur... | |
| Basic question about impedance and watts if amp produces 50W to 8Ohms than to 4 ohms it should double the output current or have a transformer's secondary coil stable to 4 Ohms.Not neccessarily the wattage will double. The output power is rather dictated by peak capabilities of the outpu... | |
| is a subwoofer for music a good idea?? Eldartford,I think that Beethoven's 5th would benefit from sub.Also having a vinyl playback it's also a large benefit to have a sub especially dealing with warped records. | |

| Tubes with Totem Forests? I'm using Forrests with VTL MB100.Had for a while of service near a week Nikko Alpha SS amp 120Wpc. Tried to use it alone and seemed too bright at top end but when I connected this one in bi-amp with VTLs I experience a sound of speakers that I've... | |
| Question about power tubes... KT88 Steve, I guess in this case it's enough just to check continuity with simple ohmmeter or DMM instead of breaking the bank through a dedicated tube tester. | |
| Question about power tubes... KT88 no quiescent current flows through the grid that probably had went away from the tube pin. such tube will do nothing and you probably should hear channel volume difference. | |
| What is the standard for judging a systems sound? Consider a speaker as a specific musical instrument(let's say for the ones that can't play any other instruments) that is someway pleasantly sounds in your room and let it be your judgement of a system's sound and recording.Somehow I love the soun... |
