| Pure Power You can determine the run time by multiplying the amps drawn by your equipment, times the number of hours you want to run. This will give your amp/hours, which is how deep cycle batteries are rated. If you don't know how to calculate the current d... | |
| Pure Power Sean, as I previously stated the interference is non-existant. You are probably referring to the cheaper modified sine wave units that are popular for campers. This is a "perfect sine-wave" device, with the characteristics described above. I have ... | |
| DIY speaker: braid vs twist vs straight Cdc, this is a highly system-dependent decision.If it were just simple resistance, or just skin-effect, the decision would be simple. But the capacitance and inductance of the cables interact with the characteristics of your components and speaker... | |
| Quiet fan for rack cooling installation? Try a small muffin fan from radio shack or some electronics supply house. They are pretty quiet, and made for cooling electronic equipment. They come is a variety of sizes, probably a 4" would be good for your application. You may have to run it o... | |
| Audiogoners, I love you........ Surely, everyone by now, must know that this site is a daily part of my life. Rarely does a day go by that I don't read and post on Audiogon. Sometimes I will check this site 3 or 4 times a day. Since I don't have any real audiophiles in my local ... | |
| What will become of my beloved CDs? You can keep them and listen to them in the future, on a "vintage" CD player. Just like we vinyl-types do with our records and "vintage" turntables. Of course, you will have to suffer the slings and arrows of some young tech-heads who will tell yo... | |
| Re-Chrome Mcintosh Amps? The chroming is the easy part. You can get that done by a million different auto chrome shops. The hard part is to get them re-screened as orignal. Contact McIntosh. | |
| How to find vinyl? I have been a vinyl collector for many years. The places to look are, of course, used record shops, if any are in your area. If not, pawn shops, Goodwill, Charity stores, flea markets, are all sources. At these places, you might find 1 or 2 good a... | |
| Review: ZYX R100 Cartridge Scato, I have been posting the ZYX cartridges here on the Audiogon sporadically over the last few months, but it seems that nobody was interested in hearing about this very nice cartridge. I'm glad that you took the plunge, and got a real good car... | |
| Robert Plant-Dreamland Ben, I think it is great that you post these comments on the newer recordings that few have heard yet. I have noticed your posts on the others as well, and it helps me to decide on what new material to choose when I am at the CD store. Thanks, and... | |
| Weird Bass Reponse on my Speakers. You are probably reading a room notch at the 200Hz mark. The mid-woofer probably has a resonance point right around the 80-100Hz area, which would pull it down some there, and the passive radiator kicks in to recover it down to 40-50Hz. The websit... | |
| What's the size of your listening room and/or ht? My room is 24'long and 14'wide. The ceiling is vaulted: 8' behind the speakers at one end, rising at 45degrees to 16', leveled off for 8', and sloping back down to the far end at 45degrees to 8' again. I use the entire room, with no divisions. It'... | |
| Best CCR album? Sorry. Well, whatever album it's on, "Suzy Q" is a must have. And so is "Fortunate Son" too. | |
| Best CCR album? I think "Cosmo's Factory" is the best overall album of the bunch, but "Green River" is a must, if only for the "Suzy Q" track alone. | |
| Shanling CD S-100 vs: Music Hall CD25 Just a little reminder, all Chinese industry is state owned. China is a communist country. They use slave labor, which is sucking jobs out of America. Their stated goal is the destruction of the US. They have threatened to nuke LA at least 3 times... |
