| How to transfer LD to DVD? Are all these people lawyers?Fwiw, I am (as well as an electrical engineer).Regards,-- Al :) | |
| How to transfer LD to DVD? He wants "to be able to show some of them to my friends in a small meeting environment." Certainly doesn't sound like a public exhibition or screening to me.Regards,-- Al | |
| Bad Hum Coming Through Amp, What Happened? See my response to your other post.I wouldn't think the problem is in the output stages, because of the sensitivity to volume control setting and source selection, even when the source components are turned off and sending no signal into the ampli... | |
| Hum Coming Through Amp, What Happened? Try putting a cheater plug (a 3-prong to 2-prong adapter, leaving the safety ground prong unconnected) on all of the source components, simultaneously (but not on the amplifier). When you do that, try both connection polarities of each of the sour... | |
| Best Cd Player under $4000? If you haven't seen it, you'll want to read this review of your amplifier, which describes several tweaks and tube changes that reduced the leanness they found it to possess, and also improved its imaging:http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/pathos_... | |
| SPEAKER HUM Out of curiosity though, if that is the problem, would a cheater plug on the amp (plugged into its own outlet as it is now) diagnose the problem...would I expect the hum to disappear if the separate outlet situation is causing the hum?Yes, it migh... | |
| T2AL 250v fuse question. I believe this is what you want, available from Digikey in a minimum quantity of 5 pieces (totalling $4.70). The nomenclature is different because the original fuse is probably from a European manufacturer.http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearc... | |
| Tape out of receiver for phono to amp? Suspecting the preamp I used a receivers tape out in place of the preamp. Not a good idea. The tape output is most likely ahead of the volume control on the receiver, so you will have no control over volume doing that.As Uru suggested, you could t... | |
| SPEAKER HUM Although it is a bit technical, the following paper provides some good background on system-level causes of hum (as opposed to hum that is introduced within a particular component, which is definitely also a possibility here, as Millicurie suggest... | |
| Great old speakers that are as good as new ones I agree with many of the preceding suggestions, but I'll add to the list Pentagram P10's, from 1983-4 (the later version only, which has a 4-inch dome mid-range, not the early version which used a 2-inch dome mid-range).Under-recognized and under-... | |
| amplifier needs Markus -- I couldn't find an impedance vs. frequency curve on those speakers. I did find this descriptive information, which might be of interest:http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=70808The fact that the low frequency driver has no ... | |
| Freaky speaker experience: In the second of my posts dated today (July 11) in the other current thread on essentially the same question, I propose the following explanation of what I think is going on here:Here's a theory I just thought of: You are not really losing bass in... | |
| To Bi-wire or not? Okeeteekid,Here's a theory I just thought of: You are not really losing bass in the bi-wire configuration; you are just getting better bass damping (meaning tighter, more well-controlled bass), for reasons I'll explain below. That would very conce... | |
| ICEPower vs SET Toufu -- I looked over the specs on the 200ASC's, and the Zu Druids. The one thing that strikes me as possibly being relevant is that the ICEPower modules have about a 0.5db frequency response dip in the upper treble when working into high impedan... | |
| To Bi-wire or not? Okeeteekid -- I looked into the Kappa 9's a bit. As you realize, but others may not, and assuming that you are using the "extended/normal" switch in the back in the "extended" position, at bass frequencies they are perhaps the most difficult speak... |
