| Fear of volume control I watch for two things: When my hearing maxes out and the music doesn't sound right, or when the listening room is saturated beyond what it can take. My hearing has changed in that way over the years and I suspect that it is damage. I can get aw... | |
| Using step up / down transformers? I want to add that one experience that I had using a step up transformer was that my line voltage is 120 volts or so, and then measured AFTER the transformer it was 240 volts. I suppose that makes good sense BUT, the Cayin CD22 CD player being use... | |
| Clean AC power OP, The greasy ’grunge’ that you removed from the breaker clips is called N0-Ox, and is intended to keep the breaker contacts that were covered with it, clean, and free from oxidation. If they were protected, with No-ox, they aren't now. Try... | |
| Upgrading phono stage Man, I can really empathize with all of this. I called it TT Hell. First I had to decide on a TT. Ended up with a Project 2Xperience and AKG Cartridge. Ok, so far, but then, like you, what was going to be the best phono stage for me? I got two in ... | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? I will never forget the day that my older friend gave the Elton John album to me. I was probably 11. He was like that, generous. Why the hell don't I still have it? That is the bad part. | |
| Schiit Sol turntable owners out there? I actually considered this TT very recently, but it wouldn't ship until April 27. Also, after reading an article by Mr. Fremer, it occurred to me that so much adjustability can also encourage much error. Tweaky was one of the words he used to des... | |
| An old Forte' model 3 made new The main fuse is 8 amps, fast blow...... As far as the current capability of the Amp Output, I doubt that it is 60 amps. Lucky if it were as much as 30-40 amps. Each channel does have 10 or 12 Toshiba transistors though. Leads me to think that t... | |
| An old Forte' model 3 made new HA! Had one of those myself. Just because you can, it doesn't hurt to clean the AC cord prongs and maybe even use a little Caig protectant. Believe me, I don't want to open a big can of worms here about cables, connections and the rest, but just t... | |
| An old Forte' model 3 made new Overall, I was never disappointed by the Forte' amps that I had owned. And yes, a 15 amp circuit is fine. Make sure that you have a good grade AC outlet at least though. Just today, as I was working in the museum, I attempted to use an old outlet ... | |
| An old Forte' model 3 made new Hard for me to say about that. Those sound to be pretty low dips in impedance. Perhaps someone here could better answer that question. Low impedances are tough for many amps, so I am not eager to answer without some experience in such a case. | |
| A question to the Sound Engineers out there No doubt there are some wonderful mixes/recordings out there. It is a sad reminder however when you consider that, as mentioned above, much recording is adjusted for the sh***y car radio, or ear buds that the general public will be using to list... | |
| Living with unsolvable hum - Any audio detectives out there? I looked at the advice in the posts here, both good and bad. So far, there is no mention of trying a line level audio transformer inline with either the output of your pre amp or (one at a time with all other inputs-Disconnected) with one of ... | |
| (Jolida) Black Ice Audio Foz SS-X Sound Enhancement Once I aimed an antistatic gun at myself. It made me anemic. | |
| How old are you? 762 months old according to my mother, but not for long. Next month, I will be 763, or 443 dog years. | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? This is going to be uncomfortable. Starting at your feet, wrap the Corning insulation round and round your body, slowly working your way up. It's best to lay down for this procedure, and don't forget to wear a mask. Also, it is very important to s... |
