    8 Channel amp: Buckeye vs VTV vs Monoprice

    Ah, I misread that. They say "12V Trigger Stereo Inc trigger cable" . Would be clearer if they spelled out including.

    8 Channel amp: Buckeye vs VTV vs Monoprice

    Nord's optional trigger cable is £50.00 (US$63.75) when you order it with an amplifier!? $5.49 at Amazon https://www.amazon.com/TENINYU-3-5mm-Mono-Cable-Extension/dp/B07PMZXL3Y

    Buckeye Amps: New US based Hypex multichannel amplifier builder, line-up announcement!

    No, the diagram above represents what Monoprice are currently shipping with the connection between pin 1 and the grounding tab on the XLR plug. The older ones did not have the pin1 to grounding tab connection. Hypex's diagram does not show this connection. The usual use case for professionals...

    Buckeye Amps: New US based Hypex multichannel amplifier builder, line-up announcement!

    It's the pin 1 connection to the grounding tab on the XLR plug that is the problem. Cut that bare wire inside the plug and it works fine with the Buckeye amps.

    What to choose between Denon X6700H and X4800H?

    Not a waste if you already have the amplifiers. A waste would be buying a Cinema 40. When it comes to AVRs not using some of it's capabilities is a given. And with the X4800H I also suspect that there may be improvements in video and sound quality when the power supply is not burdened with the...

    What to choose between Denon X6700H and X4800H?

    Not a waste at all. As a pre-pro in preamp only mode the X4800H is imposible to beet at anywhere near it’s cost, for SQ, HDMI capabilies and features. The only thing it is missing is XLR outputs.

    ART USB Phono Plus Review

    Well no, it came without a power supply. Disappointing given the issues that you observed powering it with 5V USB power that you didn't try another power source. The manual says: "A power connector on the rear allows you to use an optional external power source to reduce the power drawn from...

    ART USB Phono Plus Review

    I also wonder what the results would have been if you had bothered to try different power supplies. The Precision Phono Pre was tested with a 9V DC wall wart.

    Buckeye NC502MP 8-Channel Amp Review

    Thanks, so the odd numbered channels are the "good" ones. Not that I would be able to hear the difference but nice to know. Dylan can you please confirm? Already had my LCRs connected to channels 1,3 and 5.

    Buckeye NC502MP 8-Channel Amp Review

    So looking at the amp from the rear which of the outputs of the channel pairings is the "good" channel, left or right? Would seem to make sense to connect my LCR to them.

    DC blocker for NAD T777 V3

    Have you tested with a cheater plug to see if lifting the ground eliminates the hum? For testing only, not a solution. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0986ZDH3J/

    Why is a 12v trigger not standard on audio equipment?

    Couldn't live without 12V triggers in my systems to turn on power amps, subwoofers and cooling fans. I found signal sensing auto on/off to be very annoying on my SVS subwoofers.

    Hot air rises so you want to encourage this not fight it. Pull the air up and out from the top so it draws room temerature air in from the bottom and sides.
