Unreliability of supply and price of electricity have escalated to such an extent, that I am seriously considering installing the first phase of a solar power system. Any members with experience to help clarify some questions. I have some serious class A power hungry amplifiers, fed from 30A...

I have a very stable three phase power supply, the single phase voltage usually fluctuating around 230 V +- 3 V. The last couple of weeks the voltage gradually started to drift down to between 217 and 221 V, however this morning a low voltage warning. Currently running at 211 V. Is this a local...

My old and trusted Tektronix two channel analogue scope decided to call it a day. I tried to buy a Rigol 100Mhz 4 channel scope from Amazon, only to be notified that they are not permitted to ship to SA. I then tried a couple of local electronic and measurement equipment outlets, just to be...

I moved the Jeff Rowland Model 9s to room2 and hooked them up to drive the Revel Salon2 speakers - they are massive and heavy, but a little bit closer to their aluminium flight cases now.  :) :) :) Room1 is still used for stereo (G1, DcS Vivaldi, Halcro,SME) and 7.1 multichannel (the ML436...

I recently set up quite a fast computer, using it for gaming and number crunching engineering simulations. I noticed that some simulations battle to converge, and one very reputable simulation program constantly gives the following error message: "Your Intel Pentium CPU has a bad math...

I use two Krell KST-100 power amps in my HT setup, switched in mono mode (400 W), to drive my Revel Ultima Studios. I recently noticed that the one side of one of the amps gets burning hot, whilst the other side, and the other amp, show a normal temperature profile. In order to perform some...
