So what do you think of Class D amp for subwoofers
Kijanki: Sometimes I write in the manner I speak rather than write in a more coherent manner. As an Electrical Engineer, I know the difference between Watts and Kilowatts. I apologize for not being more clear. Frankly, I wish the station broadcast... 
So what do you think of Class D amp for subwoofers
I've been out of town for the last four days and just got back. I'll read up on all the posts and write a bit more tomorrow. Thanks for all the responses! 
So what do you think of Class D amp for subwoofers
Kijanki - switching noise is typically defined as clock noise in this digital world we live in. Although it is technically correct to say "switching noise" when a diode turns on and off, that noise is insignificant to clock noise on the output of ... 
So what do you think of Class D amp for subwoofers
Very interesting posts! Most, if not all, class D amps put out a lot of noise starting around 15 to 20 KHz and climbs to surprisingly high levels in the ultrasonic and up into the RF range. This noise can be filtered out if the amp is designed int... 
Loudspeakers with a wide sweet spot
I have found that Shahinians are very good in having a wide social image which can be heard from many positions in the listening room. I spent a lot of time listening before I sprung for mine. 
Which wood and design for diy monitor stands?
As a longtime wood worker, I urge you to worry less about the kind of wood and focus more on the construction. It is important to note that laser interferometry tests proved that vibrations from the woofer can move the cabinet 1000 times greater i... 
Is fiberglass safe?
I believe 3M made some very nice sound absorbing panels, which looked great. a bit pricey but my wife loved the looks so obviously, it is a bargain! 
Survey-What is your most used source?
FM tuner for sure, since I listen in the car, garage, road trips, etc. CDs are second, LP is third.However, for serious listening, it is LPs, CDs, and FM in that order. 
Outdoor FM Antenna question
Thanks Eldartford, I will do that. 
Copper Sleeve over IEC
Hey, this is a great idea! I'll have to give it a try.Note if you ground the copper, it becomes a capacitor relative to the AC Mains. If you don't ground it, then it is a shorted turn. These are quite different entities: one is a capacitor and the... 
Outdoor FM Antenna question
Question for Dill and Eldarford: Do either of you use these antennas with more than one tuner? If so, what are you using to split the signal? After reading up on these two units, it occurred to me it might be better to buy two of them, or maybe on... 
Outdoor FM Antenna question
Thanks for your comments, I will look into those models. Eldarford, you are correct; we have an HOA here and I don't want to start a neighbors war with a 30 foot yagi rotor FM antenna on my roof! Although, given the choice...

Surge protection, no filtering, no regen please...
Gs5556 brings up a good point. Airplanes are designed to withstand lightning because the plane's skin is ground to the electronics. Radio and radar towers survive because they have lightning rods. A lightning rod is a sacrificial metal rod which i... 
Dahlquist LP-1 Passive/Active crossover
I agree with the need to replace the RCA jacks. Forget the sound improvement, the intermittent sound there - sound gone "Feature" will drive you nuts!I do have a schematic I made for it in PDF format, if anyone needs it. Just drop me an email and ...
