| I'm so confused.... Hi DCYou ask if HDCD is anything to care about? Emphaticaly yes!I am a huge fan of HDCD.HDCD is seriously far better than 16-bit redbook; the 20-bit Pacific Microsonics DAC's (Pac.Mic. is now bought out by microsoft) are considerably sonically sup... | |
| How much does rock-solid speed stability cost? I wonder if the VPI SDS or the more expensive Walker Motor Controller would help the situation? VPI also had the original PLC motor controller, but it's been said to radiate spurious noise into some rigs; might be worth trying on a budget however. | |
| Dedicated lines/surge protectors? Hi Wdi:MOV's are available from Radio Shack. Mouser Electronics, Digikey also likely. I buy mine in that specific model from industrial suppliers such as Newark Elecronics or Allied Electroncis. | |
| What would it take to balance a stereo power amp ? There is a way & it's very simple to accomplish!All you need to do is install some balancing transformers on the inputs, assuming you can solder & you have basic electronics skills? Steve McCormack has these parts available. Very likely yo... | |
| Power supply variations- so the 2 amp supply will easily substitute for the 800mA supply. Just ensure the connectors (& polarity if DC) are compatible. If not, the connector can be fairly easily changed to what you acutally need. | |
| Hot Tub Amp/ All Weather AudioGear? install some marine grade equipment, including speakers, from a boating supplier - may be the only thing that will hold up under those conditions | |
| Buzzing sound while turning volume switch. have a knowledgable tech spray the volume pot for you with an oil-free cleaning solvent (& then work the control end-to-end several times before the spray dries - tech should know to do this). If the symptoms continue then move on. | |
| Hubbell HG, Surge Protected & IG, Anyone use this? David sorry but no one can answer your question but you. What happens & the differences perceived when you combine certain elements together into a system is unique to that system alone. Try the setup in various ways. If you are happy with the... | |
| The miracle of the turntable? son sounds like an ideal candidate for a close-n-play turntable?Maybe next - try him on a basic electronics learning lab kit. I was doing these myself at a very young age. The kid is already curious & asks good questions. Nurture his achieveme... | |
| Hubbell HG, Surge Protected & IG, Anyone use this? A direct lightning strike to your home (not through the service panel) is the only possible threat this overkill might {A}ffect.

| How do I clean CDs with isopropyl alcohol? I don't use soap. It can clog the grooves"clog the grooves" maybe I'm as thick as a brick, but will someone please explain this to me?"Any insights would be greatly appreciated!" | |
| Hubbell HG, Surge Protected & IG, Anyone use this? done correctly: surge protection is NOT a one-step process, it's multi-staged & distributed. Power company has two protectors on the service pole: an open-arc grounding point & a high voltage MOV. Inside I use whole-house gas-tube discharg... | |
| In wall power cabling- for Apartment Dweller simply use #10awg solid copper THHN conductors - inexpensive, so no problem leaving it behind. Cable designer Mike VansEvers advised that it's good enough for him & it's certainly doing me a fine job too. One single circuit runs the whole work... |
