| 12v linear power supply Would you be able to build one yourself? AMB has a couple of versions that are very high quality. The completed kit would likely run $100+ and be a reliable and able unit. | |
| Transformer question--need transformer that puts out nominal 240V for European Amplifier Just when I thought I had it down, I went to the Philippines. They were using one 240 volt conductor and a ground. Ok, so there IS more than one way to do 220! Maybe this is why some of these threads go round and round. | |
| Deceptive Connectors Presently, I am mounting some binding posts to an amp build of mine. In this case, they are solid brass and that is fine with me. There are many choices out there, but as the OP found out, you had better be careful. I do not know the metal used i... | |
| To Buy or to DIY, here is my question Buying a factory built set of speakers while you are building your own is good advice. Way back when I was in high school it took me months to build the Speakerlab Khorns. It was good to build like that. I couldn't get in a rush for the next step.... | |
| Whole new world Just did it for awhile a few minutes ago. Have been doing it for years when a section of the music comes along and maybe I want to hear it a bit louder, but just for a moment. The classical piece that I am listening to now has such a dynamic ra... | |
| thought on eBay? Pretty much use eBay for buying. Selling got to be too weird, with fees being raised, taxes collected, then hey PP too. I gave up. For buying, it is really a joke to read that the unit has been tested and works 100%. I know better that this is BS.... | |
| What matters in an ad? jerryg123, Wow, thanks for the compliment. Not expected, but appreciated. I love to build, but I hate to disappoint someone by mere accident. That is one reason that I try to be direct about the description of a product, whether I built it ... | |
| Butcher Block Acoustics - What have they been up to? I would say that you should be happy for the extra attention in packing the unit safely. I wince just about every time that I send a unit off to shipping. The abuse can be overwhelming. Too much tape is a pain though. It is more about the materia... | |
| What matters in an ad? Thanks EBM, I agree. A possible exception would be an ad where the seller simply does not know the product. Maybe even an estate sale or something of that nature. | |
| What matters in an ad? No, feedback isn't the interest so much. I am asking what people, why people buy what they buy. I am including myself here. | |
| What's with website? Oh man, I do agree with misspelling, lack of grammar. I will wade through reading so much of it and then stop short. To be a bit clearer, I am referring to websites and not so much forums such as this one. I realize that English may not be the fir... | |
| Protecting Equipment from Children Just how big a load of Playdough are we talking here? Multiple trips or just a handful? You may never know. | |
| Protecting Equipment from Children I never really thought about it and raised 3 kids on my own. They never screwed with my stereo. Funny thing though in later years I waited until everyone was out of the house before I would listen to music. THEN, one day my first grandkid visit... | |
| It comes with a balance knob?!?! I'll take it! Lately, I have been using a sort of balance control (dual mono block set up with sensitivity at each input) for a reason not so good. In short, the right speaker in my system has apparently suffered damage from my stupidity. Bottom line, it needs ... | |
| Dedicated Circuits - Subpanel importance? This happens a lot. Re-reading my post concerning the second point that I made, we are saying the same thing in a different way. Once a topic gets to this point, it is best to stay out of it. Not sure that you can change the POLARITY of an AC li... |
