Mars appearing as large as the moon is total nonsense. It is impossible for Mars to appear that large even at it's closest(perigee) approach to Earth. :cool:

It means that the input/driver stage on your amp runs in class A. Since the output stage is not mentioned the chances are very high to almost certain that the output stage is class AB. Class A at low or small wattages, switching over to class B as the output level is increased. Generally, amps...

magnumman, you are on the wrong site for discussions of cable quality. Although I don't agree with the attitude here I do go along with it. If you wish to discuss if or how cables sound different you might want to try www.audioasylum.com There are lots of subjectivist audiophiles there. Also...

I built and I am currently using a dual flexy rack. The flexy rack is a design I got from TNT audio. (www.tntaudio.com). I have a total of twelve shelves and infinite spacing adjustment for each shelf. The whole shebang cost me about $80. :cool:

I think we first need to get the facts straight. The Milky Way (our Galaxy) is approximately 70,000 light years in diameter and contains about 300 billion stars. The nearest galaxy to ours (Andromeda) is 2.2 million light years away. Andromeda is considered our sister galaxy. There are somewhere...

I guess I'm very firmly in the other camp. I have never owned a receiver and the way things look I never will. IMHO most if not all receivers do not have the kind of current reserves I prefer for my rig. By the way my rig is listed in how much is your system worth. I have not posted a dollar...

If you like and want tubes you might want to look at Jolida integrated amps. They make a full line of tube based equipment. One of my buddies has a Jolida integreted tube amp and another has a Jolida CD player with tube output stage. I have been favorably impressed with both devices. If they...

My vintage Hafler, Adcom and ancient Dynaco amps work quite well thank you. The Hafler and Adcom have driven any and every load that has ever been thrown at them. I don't have to worry about what impedence my speakers are. I just buy and use what I want and am never concerned if my speakers are...

I use a JVC JX100 video switcher. This allows me to connect 4 video sources together with dubbing between them and ouput any of the four to my monitor. :cool:

I feel for you. If you're ever in the Philadelphia PA area come visit. We'll quaf a few beers and play some music loudly. If my neighbors complain we will invite them to join the party. :cool:

There has to be some standard your city uses. This would be a specific SPL (sound pressure level) at a given distance from the source. You need to find out what the figures are. A lot of cities have noise ordinances. Most of the time they are only enforced with respect to loud car stereos or...

Are the sound level measurements made inside or outside your apartment? If they are to be made outside you should check the applicable statutes. The Rat Shack SPL meter is a good buy. I've owned one for more than twenty years. I live in a row house in the inner city. My neighbors are very...

QUOTE=Rich0301]What is the best way to transfer Music Net from my PC to my main HT/Music system? Is the quality of Music Net as good as an original CD? Is it possible to get DVD-A from Music Net or another internet source? In the order you asked. Burn those MP3 files onto an...

Although I am more a subjectivist than a lot of responders here, I have got to say that the whole cable thing is nothing more than smoke and mirrors. :cool:

35mm movie film is already HD compared to HDTV, TV and DVD's or anthing else out there. :cool:

Like you I think that cable prices are silly! There is no way any cable should cost more than the amplifier or even any percentage of the cost of an amp. Those snake oil merchants are just making lots of money. :cool:

ARC tubes are amomg the best but the CJ premier is the best I've heard. I have to say I'm partial to my modified Dyna MK3's. The only original parts are the transformers. :cool:

I have heard that spikes on speaker stands operate like a diode. They allow vibrations to go from the stand to the floor but not the other way. I don't know if this is true. I do know that spiking my speakers improved the sound. :cool:
