| Replacing Vintage Lights industrial electrical suppliers such a Newark, Allied Electronics, Mouser, DigiKey are all good sources for bulbs. You may even find what you need via Radio Shack.One hint about pilot lamps: once you determine the type of bulb (voltage & curre... | |
| recommendation for volt ohm meter It all depends upon the application. A DVM's perceived triple-digit accuracy can be misleading (unless you pay a lab to have the device calibrated annually) but few of us actually need that kind of accuracy anyway. And they do have some unique adv... | |
| klipsch speakers,be honest I've been enjoying the above discourse regarding Klipsh tweaks; I also lost all of my PC files in that regard, so this review is a nice catchup.One very basic issue that hasn't yet been mentioned is the installation of cones/spikes. Spiking the ca... | |
| Custom Power Cord Company Hi Paul I have experience with CPC's line of shielded & integral-filtered AC cords. These are designed for use direct-to-line with no added line conditoner. I first had the fairly popular Model 11; a nice fullbodied cord for not a lot of money... | |
| Need some juice --- High power amps One amp I've used that had an almost frightening amount of housepower is the Perreaux 350A. This thing pumps some current! Spec'd at 350 per ch at 8 ohms, it actually delivers ~500 per side; at 4 ohms it truly doubles-down. So that's potentially 1... | |
| Tube Preamp Connected to Accuphase A-50V? Agree with Fernando: get the mating Accuphase pre to your A50! (the C245?). I've been extremely pleased with my C275; it's a real treat. Full-featured functionality and built like a battleship. | |
| All I want is a surge protector w/o conditioning Unfortunately so far I've been unable to locate / contact info. for DawnSat; it's been awhile since I've dealt with them & maybe they moved, sold, namechanged? TruSpec is a commercially oriented manufacturer; however these devices are fairly c... | |
| Using VPI SDS with a CD PLAYER this is probably not advisable. Remember that the SDS is a motor controller. It starts out at full line voltage, then reduces output to ~75vac or so, as the motor current reduces due to counter-emf buildup. You could really hurt your CDP's electro... | |
| All I want is a surge protector w/o conditioning First, install a whole-house transient protector at your distribution box, (I use one of the Joslyn Electronics Systems devices). Ensure that your primary household ground rod system has low impedance & clean solid connections.Next, install MO... | |
| Is the JPS DIGITAL cable as good on CD as reviewed Greetings Speedy:The JPS Digital AC is highly recommended & comparatively inexpensive, so the cost-effectiveness factor is high. Many users have reported highly satisfactory results using this cord on their digital equipment. I have one among ... | |
| Does surface a component sit on affect the sound. Hi Eagle: Tom Lyon is an authority on this subject if anyone is... As I recall, Mr. TWL has done mega experimenting with racks, shelving, & platforms. I've tried to emulate some of his sage advice & have come to realize that *everything* a... | |
| MIT MH 750 magnum speaker cables I've been using MH750 biwire Magnum's for nearly 2 years, & I'm very happy with them. You should experience an order-of-magnitude improvement over your T4's without a doubt. I upgraded from MH750 series3 with significant improvements, so expec... | |
| Powering off Equipment-Silly question now that the switch is in the extended-out position, perhaps you might spray some lubricant (WD40, Teflon, etc) onto a Q-tip & then apply that around the button's perimiter such that the constricing surface is lubricated, which might improve t... | |
| A question of Balance? The balancing device typically connects to the AC line, then the regenerator connects to the balanced output of the isolation transformer. |
