| Clint Eastwood's HiFi Xie -- No, I don't think so. There are several differences:1)The EV has a horn near the top; the mystery speaker has a rectangular opening near the bottom.2)The grillcloth is different, of course. Although grillcloths sometimes get changed over th... | |
| Full Range Speaker That Can Play Near Boundaries OMG. It's the end of the world as we know it.LOL! But there's still hope, if the possibility I suggested (DA-RMa's) could work out.Regards,-- Al | |
| Does my phono stage have sufficient gain? Hi Brent,That's not quite correct. A 10x increase in voltage does equate to 20db, but an additional 10x increase would correspond to an overall increase of 100x, which in turn would correspond to an additional 20db, making 40db in total. 60db corr... | |
| Clint Eastwood's HiFi HiFiTime -- Incredible site! Thanks!!Best regards,-- Al | |
| Clint Eastwood's HiFi Truman -- In my moderately extensive experience with vintage equipment of that period, I've never perceived any particular similarities between Knight amplifiers and those made by H. H. Scott.Information on, and pictures of, the Scott stereo integ... | |
| Clint Eastwood's HiFi Does anyone recognize the album covers??The album behind his head in the photo that Shadorne linked to is The Greatest Garner, by Erroll Garner, originally released in 1956.Ironically, Erroll Garner's most famous composition was Misty, composed in... | |
| Clint Eastwood's HiFi It looks absolutely identical to a Stephens speaker shown on page 73 of a 1960 Allied Radio catalog I have, except that it appears to be somewhat bigger. The driver is listed as an 8 inch Stephens model 80FR, and the cabinet as a Stephens model 81... | |
| The frontier between ''vintage'' and ''junk'' ? Also, there is ambiguity in the term "vintage" even in the field of wine. For many kinds of fine wines, such as French Bordeaux, every year is considered to be a vintage, with some years considered to be great vintages, other years considered to b... | |
| The frontier between ''vintage'' and ''junk'' ? It seems many folks use the vintage label strictly based on age, not quality or any other enduring qualities. Which is arguably correct, as TPReaves and Rrog have indicated. "Vintage" can indicate superiority in the making of certain wines, such a... | |
| current versus watts Magfan -- I second Rleff's suggestion. For instance, the Littlefuse.com site provides datasheets indicating opening time vs. current overload percentage, and also a nominal melting figure in units of ((amps squared) x (time)). I assume other manuf... | |
| any info out there on logan laboratories,DMC-1 ET Hi Robin,Take a look at eBay item no. 180465111049, which is a Logan Laboratories power amp. The seller's description gives some interesting background on Ed Logan and his audio products.Sounds like you may have found a treasure!Best regards,-- Al | |
| Full Range Speaker That Can Play Near Boundaries Dodgealum -- Have you asked Lou if he thinks the DA-RMa might be suitable? I would think that its more controlled dispersion, relative to that of the 1.1's, and its less extended deep bass response, and its slightly smaller physical depth might al... | |
| Tube Measurements? I agree with Elizabeth. I've had occasion to test a considerable number of 50, 60, and 70 year old NOS tubes, on a Hickok dynamic mutual conductance tester, and they have tested as I would expect a new tube to test.Also, the prices some audiophile... | |
| What is meant by a "fast" pre amp Interesting perspective, Bombaywalla, which I hadn't thought of or seen stated before. And it sounds right.I (current) = C (capacitance) x dv/dt (change in volts per unit time)Therefore,dv/dt = slew rate = I/C = amperes/farad.Thanks!Best regards,-... | |
| Low-cost I/C's I second the comments by Audiofeil and Drtmth58.Keep in mind that the short length you are specifying will minimize most cable effects and cable differences. Although keep in mind also that increasing the length to 3 feet would broaden the range o... |
