| How close to the real thing? Maybe y'all will be interested in this- it seems relevant to the thread...Recently I was in the recording studio, we were trying to make a recording of my band. Our bass player is leaving town for a while, and we didn't want to forget some new mat... | |
| vintage turntables? Weseixas, I would agree that *most* Technics machines are rather ordinary. The SP-10s are an exception. They have a lot of excellent engineering that went into their servo design, of the likes that you don't see these days. As a result, they repre... | |
| Debuzzing a Wheaton TriPlanar problem Why not give Tri of Triplanar a call 612-623-0922? I'm sure he can help you out. I have heard that he's not so good at the email (by his own admission). | |
| I've got a mcintosh mx110 that's been sitting ... If this is an original MX 110 and the filter capacitors in the power supply have not been replaced, I would be careful running the preamp- startup on a variac and take and hour to bring it to full voltage- but I would regard its use as very tempor... | |
| vintage turntables? Musicgioni, it kinda depends on the Technics doesn't it? This seems to be at the crux of what you were saying. The 1200 is an OK machine, nothing special. If you want to hear a better one, you need an SP-10 MkII or MkIII. The 1200 is easy to find,... | |
| I am openning a shop. What equipment should I sell The fact that Jim is still here, coming from an economy that was booming, to one that went totally bust, says that he is doing something right.5 years on- 90% of all businesses fail in that time- this is not luck. Congratulations! | |
| How to shop for speakers? Hi Tim, I think you have that backwards: sensitivity is 2.83 Volts/1 meter, efficiency is 1 watt/1 meter. | |
| Damping Factor and Overall Negative Feedback. That results in what is called transient intermodulation distortion (TIM), and enhancement of particularly objectionable odd-order distortion components.It is this last bit wherein you see so much variance in amplifier design: odd orders as stated... | |
| How to shop for speakers? Al makes good points; all I want to do here is emphasize something that he mentions about speaker sensitivity:Sensitivity and efficiency are different measurements! Sensitivity is 2.83 volts at 1 meter, efficiency is 1 watt at 1 meter. Now if you ... | |
| ZU OMEN speakers 12ohms?? We've got customers who have an like the combo a lot, but I've not heard them myself. | |
| How much power is too much for a Quad 988? The 988 does not seem to need a lot of power and the best amps to drive them seem to be tube amps, but the impedance of the speaker is rather low. Quad seems to be pursuing the same course that Martin-Logan has, that of trying to make the speaker ... | |
| How to shop for speakers? The issue here is matching- you might want to look at this:http://www.atma-sphere.com/papers/paradigm_paper2.htmlIOW, If you know that you are wanting to use tubes (Mac275), you have to look at speakers that are friendly to tubes. Since tube power... | |
| Tube Single Ended Triode Questions?? The actual answer to the question is that it has to do with the output transformer. There is a certain amount of DC current you can put through the transformer before it begins to distort, so building amps with parallel tubes gets tricky as what y... | |
| how does current work in an amplifier? Magfan, isn't that the other way 'round? :) | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea Cousinbillyl, its always a good idea to give a cartridge a few hours of play to break in! 50-70s hours is common, only after that time would I play with tweaks. You don't want natural changes in the cartridge to create confusion. |
