| runaway fisher 6330 Turntable Check Ebay.But before you do that, clean the speed selector switch and speed controls with some Radio Shack contact cleaner and see if it comes around. | |
| 1/2 speed cutting not usually so good? Not all lathes can operate at 16rpm. Certainly speed stability is a much greater issue at the lower speed!I don't buy the 40Hz thing. Our cutter seems to go down much lower than just 20Hz, as do our electronics. Seems to me it was Decca in the UK ... | |
| From Pipedream to MBL 101e, any thought? Suchtan, I think you cam contact the Pipedream people about updates through http://www.highemotionaudio.com. | |
| Does the volume control effect sound quality? I don't think anyone on this thread has denied that the volume control makes a difference. However there are engineering principles in play and they are such that if ignored, the result could be that a $4.00 volume control from Radio Shack can sou... | |
| Does the volume control effect sound quality? Funny, the original poster is absent on this thread. My comments have been directed to the issues raised in his post. To that effect, George, I think you are mistaken- this was indeed about the Dynaco PAS-3 and the installation of a replacement vo... | |
| $5000.00 To Spend Looking for Tube Pre-Amp FWIW if you can get rid of the caps at the output of any preamp it will sound better. 'Better'= more bass extension, more transparent, less coloration.So far the only preamp mentioned that has no coupling cap (or transformer) at its output is one ... | |
| From Pipedream to MBL 101e, any thought? Suchart, the speaker I am thinking of is made by the same company that made the Pipedreams 15 years ago. Its not Scaena. | |
| From Pipedream to MBL 101e, any thought? Suchtan, the Pipedream people have a new speaker that is really amazing. The high end is much more defined, smoother and faster than the 101. They have a new tweeter that is nearly omnidirectional and one of the fastest made. They have a couple of... | |
| Does the volume control effect sound quality? I'm with dave on this one. However if you are just replacing the stock part, you can find replacements that will sound better for under $30.00. Is this an older preamp? If so, you may have bigger fish to fry as far as the sound goes. All the older... | |
| Contact info of Steve Huntley Snap-in caps work fine- as well as any other electrolytic. Most electrolytics will have similar performance. Its mostly about the application- for example some situations they might need to handle more ripple current, or survive higher temperature... | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. Art80342, I've heard that the BAT and the Tannoys are not the best combination. Overall though the speaker is very tube-friendly. | |
| $5000.00 To Spend Looking for Tube Pre-Amp Dragon_vibe, I take it you want the preamp to support balanced operation?If looking into speakers, check out http://www.audiokinesis.com These are some very refined and very easy to drive speakers that are also reasonably priced. | |
| Does the volume control effect sound quality? Almost all rotary switches have a stiff disc wiper made out of a different material to the springier metal that the leaf/leaves are made out of.'Almost all' *but not* all. I can think of several off the top of my head that use similar metals and s... | |
| Contact info of Steve Huntley What is the diameter of the old part? Does it have screw terminals?Off hand this does not sound like it would be all that hard to find something. | |
| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please Philipwu, I am not. The ability of a tube preamp to play the instruments with body and impact at the same time is the pervue of tubes and the bane of transistors. Sure, its easy for transistors to be fast (harder for tubes but what we are really t... |
