    Aragon Soundstage vs. Stage One

    <font color='#000000'>First I would just like to say, what a sad state of affairs for Aragon now that Klipsch has taken them over.  I feel they made a grave mistake buring a website like Audioholics.com who used to praise them and recommend their hardware for people looking for quality...

    How much is your main home audio system worth?

    <font color='#000000'>Yamahaluver; I mean no disrespect, but the RX-Z1/AZ1 is not Class A at full power. &nbsp;Take a look at the pushpull complementary design and you will see this. &nbsp;In order for it to be Class A at full power, would require a power transformer &gt; 2KVA, which no...

    How much is your main home audio system worth?

    <font color='#000000'>Yamahaluver; I doubt they are class A up to 85watts, else the would consume over (150x2)/.75= 400 watts power to deliver this based on a 25% max efficiency of amps and 75% of the power supply. &nbsp;Maybe they are Class A for a few watts and then switch to Class AB.</font>

    My DIY Project & a Forgotten LINK

    <font color='#000000'>Jon; I think I would agree with some of what you said if the &quot;R&quot; was in series with the load, not in shunt.  Perhaps Audioholics could get some amplifier vendors to comment here.  BTW, the discussions here lately have given me little or no desire to participate...

    Zip Cord VS Cross Connected Coax Article

    <font color='#000000'>Perhaps you should qualify how you are measuring the cable (IE. are you measuring one leg, or shorting one side and measuring at the other end?)</font>

    Zip Cord VS Cross Connected Coax Article

    <font color='#000000'>Hi John; I don't understand how you could imply that skin effect changes inductance of a cable?  The phase angle of the impedance change resulting in skin effect losses is zero, thus skin effect can only be responsible for change is resistance, NOT inductance. Take a look...

    Zip Cord VS Cross Connected Coax Article

    <font color='#000000'>It's funny how Jon fails to realize that Gene actually endorsed his cable design as an alternative to &quot;exotic&quot; cables and I quote: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">We fully...

    My DIY Project & a Forgotten LINK

    <font color='#000000'>Jon; You must deliberately post looooooooooong replies so that people would get so sick of reading your dribble that they wont even respond. &nbsp;I suspect your loss figures of 12AWG zip cord are grossly exaggerated. &nbsp;I am looking forward to Gene's reply assuming he...

    Question on Wattage standards.

    <font color='#000000'>I thought Yamaha rates power consumption based on each channel drive at 1/6th power as per UL, thus how their receivers only appear to draw very little power despite their much higher output capabilities. BTW, unless otherwise stated, I wouldn't assume an amp vendors power...

    Silver DIY Interconnects

    <font color='#000000'>Other than slightly better conductive property, silver has no real advantage over copper. &nbsp;Thus I would just use a heavier gauge copper and save the money.</font>

    My DIY Project & a Forgotten LINK

    <font color='#000000'>That cable receipt is a little high in capacitance, but nothing like a Kimber or Goetz, or Analysis Plus. &nbsp;Those guys are almost in the nF/ft category and I am sure that can't be a good thing for amplifier stability. </font>

    RX-Z1 Shutdown

    <font color='#000000'>I would check your ventilation. &nbsp;You should have at least 6-8 inches on top and back of the unit to properly dissipate heat. Also, make sure the bass boost is turned off and the tone controls set at flat as possible. &nbsp;Try also pressing processor direct to bypass...
