Add to that fact that digital sine test signals encoded in PCM are mostly designed such that the peak amplitude of the sine wave is at...

Yes, but there is nuance there, too. If the problem is that the amp is being asked to supply voltage above its voltage rails, it will...

Could be, but not necessarily - a sine wave has RMS power equal to Peak/sqrt(2) but a square wave has RMS = peak. In other words, some...

What it means is that the amplifier runs out of the ability to supply current to the speakers. What moves speakers is voltage--the...

No. I get your castigation of audio magazines, but their problem is not anecdotal evidence. Their problem is building a predictive model...

I’m a rank beginner when it comes to tuner alignments. You should spend some time in the FMTuner mail list (now on Groups.io)—that’s...

My shop is my retirement home—it has a vintage RV parked in it with all the necessities. I can rent out the house if I need to. If I...

You’ll still need an RF generator with modulation—you need a carrier plus an audio signal modulated onto it with either AM or FM. Some...

It’s in the attic of my shop building. Yes, it can get kind of warm, but there’s plenty of ventilation, and the insulation is good. It’s...

Finally threw up some shelves and this is my first attempt at arranging the test equipment. I’ll try this for a while. I have...

Update: The GW-Instek triple power supply went fubar on me because it had taken a hit and the front-panel PCB attachment points broke...

My (used) Sony Blu-Ray (SACD capable) set me back $10, can just about play anything audio (and most that's visual). If someone (like the...

Is a CD player really expensive? Nevermind. Rick "not the guardian of other people's budgets" Denney

A person can have needs and preferences. You can argue about those if you want, but really needs and preferences are not subject to...

My piano, which you've seen in photos, was termed a "parlor grand" when it was made in 1885. Its length is 6'-4", making it...
