Re: Re: I'd like to subscribe to
I lost the links I had in my files when my HDD died a while back. IIRC they were over $US20 an issue, and postage was over half that again. That was at single year subscription rates for SS. I think you also had to pay via bank transfer which added another $US15 to the deal for me. Anyway it was a big chunk of change esp at an exchange rate of 0.55.
Hopefully someone will know the URLs (J Carr?) for the subscription departments, as a look now on Google didn't turn them up, and also correct me if my memory on the numbers was wrong.
Cheers

New Wire Idea?
A few years back, I had the nasty habit of drawing precipitous amounts of juice from the house mains. This was the end result of using pairs of Threshold amplifiers that had the added benefit of keeping my room comfortable with the blissful heat dissipation of lots of output devices .
Well, with three wee beasties today (I have three little girls), I had to part with those wonderful heaters...little girls seem to consume as much, or even more energy than the least efficient of amplifiers...and they even dissipate as much heat as a fine amplifier. I have noted how their idle current (the girls) must indeed rise when they fall asleep listening to music with Daddy: they get downright HOT once this happens. My wife agrees with my observations too.
Well, back to wires we must go. I rewired the room with a dual 25 Ampere service for the amplifiers, after everyone dubbed me "young Doctor Frankenstein" for my line voltage transients noticed around the house as I powered up various combinations.
Nelson, your designs are indeed gentler on the mains than many other commercial amplifiers, I recall. Much better energy storage as well (more capacitance in the power supply), as transients caused significantly less hardship on the room lighting. My hot-rodded Martron caused more than a few enlarged eyeballs back then, as the woofers shook, and the lights dipped in unison...
Proper power is essential, be it heavy power cords, or as in my case, the house wiring itself, if one is feeding out plenty of power to the speakers. I don't have the means to afford the most extreme of power cables, but a hefty run of 10-3 jacketed industrial cord does look cool....
