    Tube amp ~ Switching cab's on standby?

    The problem is that the amp doesn't need any signal to drive itself to full output with no load. It will do that just fine on it's own, no matter what the volume setting is, because it's the output transformer basically amplifying it's own internal noise. It goes to full power and fries itself.

    'Y' xlr cables?

    The capacitance-related frequency issues for sure are less noticeable at the lower impedances....not even an issue in a single split, if you ask me. And shitty transformers will give you bad results....not worth it unless you have some serious cash to lay out..start at about...

    'Y' xlr cables?

    Passive XLR splits will be fine 99.5% of the time, if you have your shit together as far as AC grounding goes. Splitter snakes are just XLR Y cables in a box, unless they say they have isolated outputs.

    HELP - Ear damage in the left ear. Sounds like a ring-modulator.

    The symptom is called threshold shift. It's a change in perception of level, pitch, or quality caused by, well, exposure to loud noises. Whether or not it turns out to be permanent or temporary for you,only time will tell. Temporary means anything up to a period of many months....and I would...

    These are great for the price. Mark and Liz are solid people. Check the rest of the website too for good stuff at good prices. For two inputs they have a stereo passive DI. http://www.audiopile.net/products/DI_Boxes/LDB-101/LDB-101_cutsheet.asp

    Watts Louder? Light bulb or Amp?

    Speaker efficiency will tell you how much SPL per watt you will get. As far as the power section, a more efficient amp will get more power to the speaker per watt drawn out of the wall. But amps are rated for their output power across the outputs, so a 100W amp can output 100W. Power section...

    Watts Louder? Light bulb or Amp?

    Here's some more to think about- in both amps and light bulbs, most of the energy is heat. 5% is considered pretty efficient for a speaker. So if you feed a speaker 100W, 95W is thrown away as heat, 5W is used to move the cone. So your 4X10 Marshall cab fed by your 100W Plexi head blasting...

    Wireless systems

    To whom it may concern: Use a wireless if it makes you happy. Nobody cares about your tone. Besides that, nobody will ever notice your tone when you mix your guitar sound together with your out of tune screechy vocals blasting way too loud through your crappy distorting PA.

    amp mod question

    It'll be cool as a project, and useful, but really I wouldn't seriously consider it from the angle of making your signal path purer or whatever. It's already been through 8 kinds of crap already, and about 100 kinds if you go digital. Skipping a few caps and resistors at the end doesn't really...

    Multiple Amp/speakers For Live

    Say what? Power amps are meant to be run in a way that best matches them to their load, and the way that best matches the system design. If that means bridging, so be it. If it means not bridging, then that's the way to go.

    Booking Major Acts

    You are a musician. You get paid first. I'm a soundguy. I get paid first. He's a brand-new promoter. He gets paid last, if at all. One reason everyone demands payment first is they've dealt with lots of promoters.:p
