| EL34 & 6L6 characteristics I think that Saki might be referring to tubes that can be swapped into his existing amp, in which 6L6's and EL34's can apparently both be used. Saki, is that correct? And if so, what is the make and model of the amp?Regards,-- Al | |
| Different subs in pairs? :-)But seriously, the reason for my comment is that I don't see how his amplifier, or the amplifier in the sub, could be extracting music (or any other intelligible audio) from an FM signal.Best,-- Al | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... We also discovered that I have four ceramic capacitors soldered in the wrong position on the driver board, although these are not in the signal path and would not be causing the symptoms we've been hearing. (Brian is going to send me a set of repl... | |
| Different subs in pairs? It might be best to ask REL about whether timing issues would be a concern in the scenario you are envisioning.Regarding the radio station interference, I suspect that could be eliminated (with no audible side-effects) by putting an inexpensive fe... | |
| Impedance mis-match? Thank you kindly, noble messenger :-)While Mr. Bingham is correct that a lot of digital signal applications involve 50 ohm parts and components and 50 ohm cables, that is irrelevant because S/PDIF is specified as 75 ohms.Also, it seems that he doe... | |
| too much acoustic treatment suck mids, shrill highs Gentlemen, note that the OP posted today in his system description thread that he "removed 3 diffusion panels behind my listening couch and it made a big difference in bringing up the mids relative to the highs."Regards,-- Al | |
| Best quality digital recorder?? If you do want a high quality digital recorder, while these highly regarded Sound Devices models have been around for a number of years, they are still the "go to" recorders for many pro audio people (see for example the user comments in their lis... | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? Great post just above, ZD. I agree completely.Regarding your post just above that one, I think that Ptss's comment you quoted was addressing my post, not yours. I don't have first-hand knowledge of recording industry practices, or of the design of... | |
| If you could bring back one great artist that has I think that Paul Robeson would be a good choice. I suspect that he would be much more "at home," and therefore less radicalized, in today's society than in the society of his time, and politics and controversy would therefore not overshadow his i... | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? Regarding absolute phase/polarity, I would make two points:1)It should be kept in mind that if a preamp provides a polarity switch, when the setting of that switch is changed not only is the polarity of the signal being inverted, but the circuit c... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz 02-22-15: AudiolabyrinthAlmarg, How would all these people be able to measure the capacitance of their speaker cable's and Interconect's?, That would be interesteing to know these measurements.Various manufacturers of electronic test equipment off... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Thanks, Roger. That all seems to point to the battery in the multimeter being dead, or possibly to the terminals which mate with the battery being corroded.In many and probably most analog multimeters the internal battery is just used for resistan... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Acman, I'm interpreting that your last post just above was a clarification of the one just above it, rather than an indication of a second measurement at a different point. Is that correct?If that is not the correct interpretation, you would be sa... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Strange indeed, John. And I would emphasize that what matters is the total series resistance of both conductors, which would be 11.4 ohms for your 2.5 meter CT-1E, 7.6 ohms for Acman's 2 meter CT-1, and probably less than 1 ohm for Roger's 2.5 met... | |
| Does "Record Out" Bypass Preamp Stage? Peter is correct, as usual. See the LS-15 schematic here. You'll note in the lower left corner of page 2 of the pdf that the desired input signal is selected by closure of the contacts of a relay, and the signal passing through that relay is then ... |
