... @gmail.com wrote in message ... Babalu Studio: Who? WTF? Do you even know where you are? Some recent insight on the subject of CD/DVD output vs receiver input sensitivity: There's no recent insight there. Maybe you should learn something about gain staging before pretending that you can educate people in this newsgroup on the subject. Not that you will ever understand it; you seem to have given up on that long ago. Maybe you should find a good advanced math forum, and explain to the readers there that you have "new insight" into why 2+2 might be something exciting and stupid in "vintage" math. When you've come here with a question, you've thrown tantrums because you couldn't understand the simple answers. And now you presume to present information you don't understand. The next time you feel like taking a dump, please don't do it in a newsgroup that I read. |

Exactly what I thought. I made some attenuators 30 years ago to solve the problem, which was really just a matching problem with other sources when adding a CD player to an amp that was never designed for a 2V level. Any good amp in the last 20 years or more should not have that problem however. And one that does could hardly be called good IMO. Trevor. |

It's new insight the first time you find out that you can stop overloading by using a pad. We all knew this stuff years or decades ago. Others don't, so it *looks* like something fantastic and new. -- Tciao for Now! John. |

Yes, but when normal people learn something old for the first time, they don't usually race onto the internet to claim it as a "recent insight", even if it is for *them*! Trevor. |

I have just had a recent insight that it is not a great idea to plug an XLR speaker output (doncha hate those ?) into a mic input. This info is so hot off the press I feel the need to show everybody how magnanimous I am by sharing this remarkable revelation. geoff |

He had a pair of Acoustic Research AR4 speakers (not sure which sub-version). He needed longer speaker cables, so he used a couple of spare extension cords, the zip-cord type. The cable coming from each speaker ended in a male AC-power plug, which would be plugged into the female end of another extension cord going back to the outputs of the amp. Everything was fine until his mother-in-law decided to vacuum the living room. When she finished, she plugged the speakers into the 120VAC outlet. At 8 ohms, that is about 1800 watts at 60 Hz.

A yes, the new kids on the block don't know that there is a different standard for using xlr's for loudspeakers. The real standard is don't use XLR's for speakers, only for the amp output of self powered ones. Usually just used to couple to another amp input. Trevor. |
