| Power Cord for which COMPONENTS???? The only way you will know "which component benefits most from the Mamba" is to try it & find out. I always begin AC cord upgrades at the preamp, then move to the PA & then source components are done last. If you begin at the source & ... | |
| My Poop theory by kublakhan When you install something new, it's DIFFERENT at least for awhile, then you get used to it & it's not different anymore. That boredom thing. Need something else different then. I think it (that boredom awareness)is fleshing out your lack of s... | |
| What to do when you receive damage goods Rdr your feedback looks pretty good anyways, so you probably won't have any problems (hopefully) because of that. Do appreciate the heads-up warning & thanks much for sharing. I'd do business with you anyday. | |
| Darn it, I scratched my Roland Now what Gare what a bummer: sorry to hear about that, but it happens to most of us sooner or later. If you must try a compound: get POLISHING compound not rubbing compound. Some times a black permanent marker (Sharpie ultra fine tip) or a Marks-a-lot can ... | |
| Input Impedance Measurement Hi Li thanks for the compliment; I could have suggested that method, which is similar to the way I sometimes measure speaker impedance curves. I just didn't want to attempt teaching ohm's law on-thread. Your approach is certainly valid & in fa... | |
| Sunfire Signature Amp Try emailing Sean offthread & ask him; I think he's using that amp. | |
| Looking for a "Tube Guide" There are numerous good books of a tubular nature available from Parts Connection division of Sonic Frontiers website. | |
| Input Impedance Measurement 952 ohms for your parallel network above; a 5% error. May or may not be significant for the particular application. | |
| Comments on the Magnum Dynalab MD-100 Hg I've been wondring too. If you call Dynalab for their opinion then I'd appreciate hearing their take on that question. I may even ask them myself, as I'm leaning toward selling my FT101 for either the MD102 or MD100. | |
| Input Impedance Measurement To get some idea of that value you could measure straight in DC resistance with a VOM, but be sure that power is turned off or you'll DC your amp & speakers. You probably don't have an impedance bridge, but if you do have access to a 1kHz aud... | |
| resolution audio I think someone said that Parts Connection div. of Sonic Frontiers has them available? Confirmation anyone? | |
| "more forgiving speakers" Very well said Jmcgrogan: the detail vs. musicality balancing issue is one that I've struggled with for a very long time. Certainly it would be great to have both, but I guess the compromise is to have two great rigs, one each tuned appropriately.... | |
| How to get rid of transformer hum? A Shakti Stone electromagnetic stabilizer may be a useful fix for this application (at least one for each amp) | |
| Synergistic Research IC Active Shielding No Mr. Garland I don't know that shielding voltage, but a VOM test would tell very quickly. I wonder if S.R. offers a choice? Or if you might be able to swap out the one-chip DC regulator inside of a wall wart supply? For myself I asked them for ... | |
| Need silver power cord help Maybe you could buy a complete cord from Stage 3 & then re-use their parts to improve the design. That would tell you if you've re-invented the wheel, actually made any progress, or lost headway. |
