Hi all! If I had devices connected to a common piece of gear like my old Monster HTPS 7000 conditioner, if I wanted to share ground between those devices that are connected to the Monster and others not connected to it, I just can connect a wire from the Monster to those other devices, instead...

So I was cleaning of my wiring and decided to test some cables for noise floor, hum etc. With my gazillion connections I do get a faint hum on my subs if I remove the jensen ISO-MX that gets rid of it, so I figured that would be a good way to test RCA cables to see if any make a difference...

Hi! I was buying a couple of short RCAs and got curious when I read some reviews pointing out how the connectors were attracted to magnets. Like this: https://www.amazon.com/review/R1EYB87IGLHCII/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8 Or this comment: The cables are VERY WELL MADE *BUT* they used...

Hi.. I wanted to order a MiniDSP product ($550). Will if get hit with tariff? Thanks

Hi! I have the WiiM Ultra and currently the share I am using is from an Emby running on my server. This configuration has an issue where the Emby share seems to connect and disconnect from the WiiM app menu. I saw this discussed on another forum. It seems after I start playing music it stays...

Hi! I just got a Nano and right away I am confused why the app having issues finding my network share. I have zero issues with other products like the WiiM Ultra I am also testing. I tried all formats possible and it just wont find it. \\MUSICSHARE\Music \\OPENMEDIAVAULT\Music also tried with...

Hi! I have been more than facinated with claims of improvements by people with PSU upgrades, linear vs switching etc inspite of the evidence presented in ASR. I saw this video of this Youtuber where there was a question about the ifi power switching ones. Q: How does this compare to the ifi...

Hi! So...I am currently using a WiiM Ultra because I like how it looks and has nice features BUT I really only use it to stream my own data and it seems flacky with Cover Art etc. I can get more art using Emby and casting to the WiiM...but then I read someone mentioning that if one is only...

Hi! For fun I am comparing a WiiM Pro Plus optically connected to a Topping D50 III vs a WiiM Ultra using its integrated DAC. One thing I noticed is the Topping seems to play louder thus immediately I was preferring that combination. I had researched that using an SPL meter for this would not be...

Hi! I dont currently have any streaming music service nor plan for any any time soon..my need for a streaming device is just to play my local stored media. I currently have the files in a drive connected to my router and shared that way. I wouldnt mind just connecting to the Wiim itself as I...

Hi all! @amirm and fellow forum members..I was wondering what you make of this test showing some improvement on the output of the amp with a conditioner. Something wrong with the test?

Hi! I was going to get some "dust" caps for my unused RCA and XLR connectors just to "dress up" my gear but then started reading about using shorting caps for inputs (not outputs) for some extra littler interference protections. Thoughts on those?

I have been wanting to get a coaxial speaker for ATMOS that is not a ceiling speaker but I am having a hard time finding one that is able to deliver a solid 80hz as well and easy to mount. There is the small Monolith satellite but maybe this bigger brother is as good with more output...

Hi! So I have been using the "legendary" JBL GX1200 for all my TR setups like Hovereze and Hoverback. I am going to revamp my Hoverback setup and was looking into maybe getting some better woofers this time that are similar in weight to the barely 10lbs of the GX1200. I thought the main specs to...

Hi! If using the REW tone generator to check for amp clipping with an ocsilloscope ...I am setting my avr level at 3db below my max listening level so I don't "cripple" my sound too much but what do I set the tone generator to? By default is is at -12 dBFS Thanks

Hi! So I was watching car audio guys using cheap oscilloscopes to set gain so I figured I would try it for home but maybe this device is not enough for home testing? I am confused like what voltage setting to use for example. In the end, all I want to see is the sine wave and make sure I am not...

Hi guys! So I was hoping to get a clarification of how the GAIN amp know works on an amp and how it relates to my AVR, MiniDSP etc on the chain. To give specific details.... My AVR is the Denbon 3800h and I have the LFE output connected to a MiniDSP. From that MiniDSP some outputs connect to...

Hi! So I just got a 1002 yesterday to replace the Aiyima 07 max I was using (two of them) to run two Dayton BST-300ex. I setup one shaker per channel (4ohm shakers). Everything was doing great, better than the Aiyimas. Today after doing some tests I went upstairs to do other stuff and then came...

Hi! I am just curious how to tell the guage of this RCA cable based on this diagram since the info is not provided on the description that I can see.

I was testing the BST-300ex with the Fosi V3. They are 4ohms and I decided to just do one per channel. Playing one alone is all good and powerful but the moment I tried both at the same time, the amps starts to cut out the sound. Using the Fosi 48V 5A did not help. So looks like for shakers I am...
