I don't know if it was a 1L, thinking about it, it's more like 1/2 a liter, I was thinking about what it takes to make a cup of tea. Not a full kettle. <edited> Had to look up the formula -- 3200 Watts 1 Liter of water with 90% efficiency -- 1 Min 56 seconds. 3200 Watts 1/2 Liter of water with...

About a minute -- I've got a induction stove with boost power option

I've got two of their watches, and I can't say enough nice things about them, I worry a little about the movement in one, but the one pictured uses a https://calibercorner.com/miyota-caliber-9039/, it's a very nice high beat (4 Hz or 28,800 BPH) movement. The one thing I keep forgetting to...

A homage to watches made in the 30s and 40s.

My system though not perfect, is much, much better than I'd ever hoped. It wows and amazes me often. Over the years, I've had friends/acquaintances who had spent much more than I, and in my opinion had systems that did not come close to matching what I have now. I chalk this up to industry and...

My guess is yes, but that's a guess, I was in the same position I went another direction, I replaced my Onkyo with the Denon and used it as preamp, and used buckeye as the amps. It's not a perfect solution, The Denon has meager output for a preamp, I'll never get close to max output on the...

I completely agree with this to a point, I had a TX-NR6100, it could not handle my R700s, One of the things Amir mentioned in one of his recent videos is that most all speakers are 4 Omhs, the R700 on Polks site says Minimum Impedance 3.6 ohms, and the L400 are 3.4 ohms → 4 ohms. Same...

Holy cow! That is truly annoying.

I'm a real fan of Polk R700, they are a bit out of your price range, they do measure well.

Has anyone mentioned Perl Acoustics ? This guy really troubles me..

A little truth here, he says Amps may become commodities, but then he goes straight into the phoolery..

Using watches as a analogy, that doesn't make sense; form follows function, and sizes are fairly standard. Wouldn't speakers be the same? (edited for grammar)

Thank you for another rabbit hole for me to go down! :p

Does anyone have an opinion of Hans Beekhuyzen? Some of the stuff he says seems to make sense, and others to me seem like complete drivel, EG he loves audiophile network switches. TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel
