Wow... had a question for Mike and Jason on an online panel at RMAF.
Alas the speaker didn't understand it so it went belly up.

Here it is in mine. I have the 2G band set to low power and the 5G band to auto. This forces most things to connect to the 5G band. I found that if both were set to auto it would try and balance the load and so devices like my phone would connect only to the 2G as devices that stayed in connected would connect to the 5G band when I wasn't home then it would balance the load and put new devices on the 2G band.

There is also a version of DDWRT for some Netgear routers, as well.

It's been a while but Tomato used to support this too, but I haven't used that in a looooong time.

b. used as duo mono e.g. from MJ2, this is 80w per chanel, far more than enough for any application I have. Thus I will get full advantage of a balanced DAC fed to a Balanced amp fed to mono-block power amps. Yes, I have enjoyed music for decades without all that, but you understand.

I kkow the mj2 has preamp but never thought anyone would use it connected to a vidar/aegir.

 

[dieslemat]

Does anyone know if Aegir has a light to tell you when it is in or out of class A?

Yeah this would be a nice addition.

But I do have a question on determining the wattage. So if you have a 20w power amp and you have a preamp set to no gain. Would it be safe to say that if the volume of the preamp is at 12 o’clock then the amp is around 10w?

Ok so all this talk about wifi routers etc has brought up a long term research project I'm trying to gain some traction with.

Does anyone know of any wifi routers where I can reduce the wifi signal power that is radiated from the device?
I looked at the unbiquity site and there doesn't appear to be a way to even ask this question, which I find odd.

And they are not alone in not being able to ask a pre-sales question and actually get a knowledgeable answer.

Perhaps there is a website that will cover this topic but thus far I have not found it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks JJ

Out for live music, will check at home tomorrow.

You could use a Jot as well if you want SS and no remote, but I'd bet it would sound good for $400.
Or if You already have one.

No. The only thing that would be 'safe to say" is the preamp volume control is at 12 o'clock. It is nearly impossible to say that uncalibrated consumer dial settings mean anything. Also, amplifier power output is determined by both the input level and by the loudspeaker impedance.

 

[Ableza]

I want no lights on my amps, thank you.

 

[the finisher]

Outside of a clipping light, I see no point.

oh yes and it works really wel.

 

[dieslemat]

Lol @Pietro Cozzi Tinin i asked you last year if the ragnarok with a vidar sounded great and you said the opposite things. so as a summary of what youve told me:

Mj2 + Vidar = works well
Rag + Vidar = sound degraded

 

[Ableza]

Outside of a clipping light, I see no point.

When I was young I liked to turn it up until the clipping light was flashing.. Rock and roll, man.

 

[the finisher]

Thing is I'm not young Younger than many here though.

I'd just like to see the light then back it away.

The short answer is: No.

It depends on what the gain of the amplifier is; what RMS voltage the music/signal source (CD player, DAC, whatever) is feeding to the amplifier; what the particular resistance curve of the volume control is, etc...

To take the subject even further: Volume controls almost always follow a logarithmic curve. The relationship between subjectively perceived loudness vs actual power/SPL and is not a linear one.

This is a fairly complex subject: http://www.lindos.co.uk/cgi-bin/FlexiData.cgi?SOURCE=Articles&VIEW=full&id=17
