    Speakers wont turn on

    Try buying them a few drinks first, gently rubbing around their ports and your input jack.

    If that doesn't turn 'em on, you may need to look at going back to a mono system.Big Smile

    Sorry a "top notch" moment, lot's of helpful people here, mixed in with the jesters.

    Hope you work it out.

    Suggest a Receiver/Integrated Amp/Seperates...

    Take a look at the Outlaw RR2150, it has a sub out and pre outs just in case you want to add a external amp later on. Outlaw does ship to Canada and this receiver has gotten good reviews. You can do a search here and see what others have said about it, I believe the phone input is also great on this unit just in case you wanted to add a TT.

    there are links to 7 or 8 reviews on outlaws web site that will give you additional info. i'm running khorns with one, it is very good. the sub out was an important feature in my purchase decision but after listening to it, a sub was not necessary at all. this won't be my last amp, i'm sure i'll have to continue to experiment with tubes, but i will not get rid of this receiver.

    So what new music did you get??

    Nice score Gnatpoop. not heard the Graceland release, whats your impression of it??

    It's quite impressive. Huge dynamic range, crystal clear, all in all a major improvement from the earlier CD. I have not heard Graceland on vinyl.

    I spun the old CD a couple of days ago and was very dissappointed with it on Khorns, you really do need good source material.

    ..and it's noop...;-)

    External amp question

    in Home Theater

    i'd experiment for that reasonable price.

    i think double the power gives you 3db increase in volume, it takes 10 times the power to double the volume.

    that said, is volume what you want to purchase? there is more to consider, more to gain.

    The above information is incorrect! 3 db is twice the sound pressure, or twice the volume. It takes twice as many speakers or twice as many watts to go up 3 db! Because our ears are inefficent, it takes an increase of 10 db for us to perceive the increase in volume as twice as loud.

    Nope, not incorrect:

    "A simple chart will help to understand the relationship
    of the terms we have introduced:

    dB Change Voltage Power Loudness
    3 1.4X 2X 1.23X
    6 2.0 4.0 1.52
    10 3.16 10 2
    20 10 100 4
    40 100 10,000 16

    Looking at the chart, and starting at the left, we can
    see than an increase of 3dB results in a voltage
    increase 1.4 times the original, a doubling of power, and
    yields only a subjective increase in loudness only 1.23
    times the original. To get a doubling of loudness, it is
    important to note that an increase of 10dB is necessary.
    And to reproduce that volume through our loudspeakers, note
    that we require ten times more power from the amplifier!"
