    Multiple subs

    I have a 10 inch ported sub that just gets swallowed by my room so much so that I didn't bother integrating it with my horn sub. I then later got a powerful and "high quality" sub that integrated will with my trusted horn sub, the result is just bliss. I guess the brand and sub type doesn't...

    Surge Protector/ power conditioner

    I ready on the net about conditioners and high current amps and went with that without bothering to test it. I did however, read on my amp's user manual to not use an extension between the main socket and the amps. So I came to my conclusion that anything between is an extension :) but for to...

    Surge Protector/ power conditioner

    I own this model and a different model by the same brand. One is always on and powers components that I keep on or on standby, the other I switch off from the wall socket. None of my power amps are on conditioners. I only use serge protectors on them. Sent from my AMN-LX9 using Tapatalk

    My power amp blew a channel

    Today is the the first day I actually listened to music with the standby amp since my main stereo amp blew a channel. Im basically running two power amps, the ML for the mains and a Rotel 993 for the center and surrounds. Both amps are rated 200watts. With the ML out of action I've been using...

    Sub Upgrade

    Subs are one of the easiest things to DIY, especially sealed subs. If you get a good design online and order the required MDF pre-cut you'll just have to glue and assemble and it will be relatively quick. The sub that I tried to integrate the Velodyne with is a DIY sub, it took me about a month...

    Sub Upgrade

    I have a similar sized room 6x6, except it is isolated instead of open plan. A friend of mine immigrated and gave me a Velodyne 10QR. I tried it together with my existing sub and it didn't last a day, didn't even both to EQ it and move it to a different room where it is now appreciated. I guess...

    My power amp blew a channel

    Looking at how tight things look in there, labor was the first thing I thought of. But an electrical engineer will probably say you can land a jambo jet in it [emoji28] Sent from my AMN-LX9 using Tapatalk

    My power amp blew a channel

    Roland (spelling might be wrong) used to work for HFX, still does fixes for them. He specializes with ML among other brands. Im based in Buccleuch, Sandton area. Sent from my AMN-LX9 using Tapatalk

    My power amp blew a channel

    No warranty unfortunately, I'm just hoping for the cost within reason part, and conditioning myself for the worst. I'm not really looking forward to start the search for a replacement. I got this amp for a steal, getting something like it, that will also have good synergy with the speakers will...

    My power amp blew a channel

    I'm watching TV in stereo as I type this. It sounds like the voices come from the center channel even though it's off. So far it doesn't sound like the speakers are intact. I'm just hoping Roland will do his magic. And I trust he'll do a proper job than a quick fix. Sent from my AMN-LX9 using...

    My power amp blew a channel

    Swapped the amps. The amp that was powering the center and surrounds is now running the whole front stage. Decided to have a glance of the insides of the ML. And yep, I'm going to bleed to fix it. I forgot how huge it is inside. The transformers are wider than a Blu ray cover. The caps wider...

    My power amp blew a channel

    I also hope I won't have to bleed to get it fixed. Now I have to swap around amps to get the front stage functional till the main amp gets fixed. This is one benefits of separates, the show doesn't have to stop when one component dies.  Sent from my AMN-LX9 using Tapatalk

    USB to Coax

    Do you know the problem you are actually solving? I was just sharing a solution to common problems when streaming zeros and ones. Hence I tried to understand if your problem is the same as the one I dismally tried to describe. Live with the Dac as is for a while first. Sent from my AMN-LX9...

    My power amp blew a channel

    So my wife calls me to the "TV room" after she heard a loud pop after firing the system up this morning. I could smell burnt electronics the moment I walked into the room. I immediately thought "oh no, let it not be the TV, power amp, preamp, dac,... [emoji24]" Everything looked and sounded...

    This is what I added and it worked for me, if the problem is as I try to describe. Sent from my AMN-LX9 using Tapatalk

    USB to Coax

    Did the seller say exactly what it was he wasn't happy with? Is it how it sounds or is it random artifacts that are common when streaming through USB? Did you try it with USB? I used to have irritating glitches until I added a small USB filter dongle which I was skeptical of when I made the...

    What does a good DAC look like

    I'm late in the conversation and can't go through all posts unfortunately. But has a Vivere dac been mentioned? I saw one in the classified going for a really good price. That's the only Dac I've tried and owned in its league, so I can't compare it to others in its league. I've owen the MF M1...
