And Cleveland has WCLV radio, a very serious classical music station.

And there are so many great museums in the University Circle area.

The two decade old QED white papers were much more real engineering than their new marketing department snake oil papers.

An easier way: With a battery powered Digital Multi-Meter (DMM) that has a low voltage AC range. It does not need to be True RMS or even accurate. Play a mono tone test track. Measure each channel Red to Black terminal, there should be a few Volts Measure amp's Red terminal to Red terminal...

There is more than one 'Leg Exerciser' and they are getting a lot of air time.

While there can be synergy between phono cartridge, cable and pre-amp input. But speaker cables? I don't think so.

If you wire it as a StarQuad, it will be also be good for the Highest-Fi systems.

While it's true that UPS's and some power conditioners can have serious problems with big audio amplifiers, most of these problems only occur at very high volume levels.

Yep, you almost need to check everything yourself. One Neutral, Safety Ground swap can mess things up. Some years ago, Audio Precision wrote a blog about the many wiring errors, that they found in their new building. * * * * * * * * * * * * * and those little 3 LED testers don't catch some of...

Yep, especially if the home is in a development. The electrical contractor is always looking for ways to reduce the costs of pieces & parts. The person doing the wiring is paid by the house, so quick & dirty is the plan. That person is probably not a licensed electrician (and may not have a...

Old hair dryers and tea pots, when switched to low heat mode, would place a power diode in series with the AC line. This half wave current is what is causing the problem.

Random thoughts: a] the only thing wrong with Kimber Kable is the price. b] there is no better bulk RCA unbalance analog interconnect cable than Blue Jeans Cable LC-1. And only a few near equals. c] low inductance loudspeaker cable only matters with: long cables and loudspeakers that...

SNL needs a better fake Donald J. also SNL needs some new material for their skits. The late night weekday shows, do much better bits.

I'm in the US and not familiar with replaceable fuse power blocks. But: a] is it permitted to replace the fuse with a larger one? b] when does the fuse blow? 1] while listening to loud music? 2} at turn-ON? if so how do you turn your equipment ON?

Sometimes yes and sometimes no. a] if something inside the device fails and the device draws lots of current ~ YES b] if the Hot wire shorts to the device's metal chassis and the metal chassis touches the vehicle's metal frame ~ NO

If an XLR balanced interconnect system is available, then amplifiers near the loudspeakers is the way to go.

Until the storage medium starts to breakdown, then the DAC stage has to start error correcting short drop-outs. Some burnt CDs have this type of problem when new.

I recall that the JSE Infinite slope crossovers were far from typical crossovers. If the crossovers are rebuilt, use new parts with exactly the same specs. Do NOT do ary parts upgrading.

We did a recording of the Cleveland Orchestra, not at Severance Hall, but at the old Masonic Temple. I guesstimated that we had about a mile of assorted cables. It took forever to tear down.

In the pro audio world, 100 meter XLR cables are common.
