    Which amp would you buy?

    Any well designed amplifier will deliver crystal-clear audio when driven within its limits. Speakers are the weakest link in a audio system.

    Adding an external power amplifier

    XLR connectors are used for the DCA 1222s and terminal blocks for the 4 channel DCA 1824. For speaker cable, I simply use Monoprice 12 AWG wire.

    Adding an external power amplifier

    Those DCA Series amps don't have a Class D output configuration. The DCA 1222 and the 1622 operate as Class AB, whereas the more powerful amps have a 2-tier Class H output circuitry. Some if not all of these amps were released in 1998 and their circuitry was never modified just as proof of good...

    Adding an external power amplifier

    How about QSC Digital Cinema series amps? They use a switching power supply but have better specs than the Crown and Yamaha pro amps. Moreover, you can't kill them. This series of power amps is used in Cineplex theaters all across North America...

    Dead Man Walking now on Metropolitan Opera Player. Memorable Night with Friends in the AV Room

    Yesterday night, I watched the opera Dead Man Walking through my Roku streamer, and as you predicted, I was kept riveted to it till the end. The performance of both mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, and baritone Ryan McKinny, was outstanding. The quality of the music score greatly contributed to the...

    BFA Plugs

    Not to forget is the SpeakOn product which is also an excellent connector. I use it for some of my speakers. It also has to be used with some of my QSC amps.

    Which amp would you buy?

    With a loudspeaker having a silly negative phase angle going down to -67.5 degrees, you need a very solid amp. I would verify with the amplifier manufacturer before getting involved with the purchase of their product...

    Sound United has been sold....

    It is not very practical to use active speakers when your listening room doesn't have the wiring with the appropriately located AC outlets to power them.

    bible

    The Roman catholic religion erred in putting sins and hell with its doctrine. Hell exists for some people on this planet although it might also exist in other galaxies.

    LED Household light bulbs

    Is the voltage in your home often above 120 volts? That could explain the situation. From experience, several years ago, I had bought some Candelabra socket LED bulbs made in China for the bathroom, as nothing else was available at the time from the North American brands. None lasted more...

    No, the compressor was at the bottom. It was probably the first refrigerator to feature a compressor at the bottom. :)

    Dead Man Walking now on Metropolitan Opera Player. Memorable Night with Friends in the AV Room

    I am usually hesitant to watch a modern opera. Most of them cannot compete for acceptance with the classic 19th century works and some of the ones of the 18th century. I have been subscribing to the Met Opera on Demand streaming service for several years. I recently received an ad from the Met...

    Amp question

    What would it cost you? If that would cost you more than $1600, you might as well wait for the Monolith to be available. As a matter of fact, you wouldn't be able to hear a difference between this Monolith and the Parasound. Well designed power amps sound the same. You would hear more...

    Washing Machines

    At my parents' summer cottage, we had a 1936 GE fridge which had been working flawlessly, as well as a GE 1958 fridge. When there was a Hydro Quebec dam incident, we had a flood, about 2 feet of water. You wouldn't guess but the only one which worked after that flood was the old 1936 unit...
