| Are There Alternatives to the Marantz 10 B ? Ralph (Atmasphere), thanks for providing your always extremely knowlegeable inputs.05-09-14: GoofyfootI can't help wondering however why the Scott 310 D mono tuner with Multipllex adapter would be preferable to a later Scott tuner either mono or s... | |
| Are There Alternatives to the Marantz 10 B ? Good inputs from Tony, all of which I agree with. Here is a link to the manual for the MR65 and MR65A. It confirms that those tuners provide a MPX out jack, so consistent with Tony's comment I suspect (although I can't say with 100% certainty) tha... | |
| Are There Alternatives to the Marantz 10 B ? Thanks, Tony (TLS49). Also, a photo of the MPX-100 can be seen here, and of the Scott LM-35 or 335 here (the unmarked photo above the model number listings). The LM-35 and 335 are the same except that the LM-35 came as a kit, and I believe the col... | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed So, the question on the table is how a magnet which produces a magnetic field, not an electromagnetic wave, can influence the signal which is composed of photons that, if recall from Electricity 101, have no mass? Or have we kind of come to the co... | |
| Are There Alternatives to the Marantz 10 B ? Goofyfoot, like many of the tube tuners that came a bit later (ca. 1960) the REL Precedent (ca. 1954) is mono in itself but provides a multiplex output jack which can be connected to an external multiplex adapter component. The combo comprises a s... | |
| Are There Alternatives to the Marantz 10 B ? Sounds like you may need a better antenna more than a top quality tuner. That said, though, you may find this thread to be of interest.Among quite a few vintage tube tuners I have owned, including two Marantz 10B's and the comparably expensive REL... | |
| Recommend an RCA connector In this hobby, you live the two irrefutable paradigms:(1) everything is built to it's pricepoint; and(2) you get what you pay for.If you really expect to step down to your indicated new "cheap" price point, and you still expect to meet (forget abo... | |
| 25 watts Class A or 70 watts Class A/B ? While I have no doubt that in many setups the F5 would provide great sound (within its power range), the facts that it has a very wide specified 3db bandwidth of 1 MHz, a high input impedance of 100K, and uses feedback, raise some caution flags in... | |
| Sony HAP 1 ES and adding external Hard Drives Thanks again Al for the great info.Likewise! Thanks for the excellent info you've provided.Best,-- Al | |
| Sony HAP 1 ES and adding external Hard Drives Hi ZD,Not sure if you are aware that NTFS is also a journaling file system. And one that has proven to be very robust IME ever since XP (which could run on either NTFS or FAT32) was introduced in 2001. FAT32, of course, is a disaster waiting to ha... | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed TBG, I think that your second previous post, which was addressed to NoNoise, may have been intended for someone else.As Mapman indicated, the thread appears to have pretty much run its course, and opinions on all sides have been pretty well covere... | |
| Sony HAP 1 ES and adding external Hard Drives At a high level, if I catch your main point correctly, you have discovered a way to use an external drive with the HAPZ1 while preserving the ability to share the drive with another computer. Is that correct? Yes. The drive could be disconnected f... | |
| Sony HAP 1 ES and adding external Hard Drives This morning I repeated the experiment, but using an external USB drive rather than an internal drive, and for both Ext3 and Ext4 partitions on the external drive. Worked great!Before disconnecting the drive, I closed ExtFS to unmount the Ext part... | |
| Sony HAP 1 ES and adding external Hard Drives Well, my curiosity eventually became sufficiently piqued about the Paragon ExtFS program that I decided to give it a try, which worked out very nicely.I formatted a small (26 GB) Linux Ext4 partition on one of the three internal hard drives I have... | |
| 22ft Digital Coax Cable. Good or too long? There are a great many system-dependent technical variables involved, some of which are generally unspecified and unpredictable. But my guess is that in general there is a significant chance that sound quality will be degraded, at least slightly.T... |
