wadia 861 input output disabling
Braro,your manual does not mention how to switch the amongst Algorithm A, B & C???It should!(I did not mean to say that you can change the source code of the algorithm, just to be clear!)However, if you repeatedly press the button labelled "re... 
wadia 861 input output disabling
agree w/ Aoliviero - Wadia suggests there might be an improvement if the OUTPUTS (not the inputs) are disabled.(couldnt do it my case as the bottom hex-head screws were jammed over time & broke the tip of my hex-head allen wrench when I exerte... 
Symphonic Line
How-dee-doo Gregm! Thanks for chiming in.Now, if could just get a reply from Kops....... 
Symphonic Line
Kops,rather terse description: "coloured equipment"AFAIK, ALL equipment is coloured starting from Wavac's $250,000 SET to Adcom's cheapest amplifier & everything in between!So, can you explain a bit more in what way you find Symphonic Line equ... 
Symphonic Line
Yes, I own their RG4 Mk3 mono block power amps for the past 3 years. A CAT SL1 is used as a preamp. I really like this power amp. I've upgraded the diode rectifier bridge to get better power delivery & hopefully better lower level details. I'v... 
building zobels
Clio09,"Based on what you said it appears to be after the crossover."Based on what I wrote, the A-C Zobel appears BEFORE the x-over. :-)Anyway, I'm no expert in this never having built my own speakers. So, it would be safer for me to say that I do... 
building zobels
Clio09,I always thought that a Zobel network should appear after the x-over & directly across the woofer terminals. I use the word "after" if one traces the signal path from the speaker terminals to the woofer terminals. IF Merlin & Alpha-... 
Down graded, with fantastic results
Gretsch6120, Marco,sorry guys I didn;t mean to do any bubble-bursting (but it looks like I might have!!); rather, I was trying to educate. Looks like Marco knew all along [I figured he did. I know him a little bit by now! ;-)] but he wasn't going ... 
How To Match Power Tubes
it seems that your tube amp does not have bias adjust screws on the outside of the chassis? The type can be adjusted clock-wise/anti-clockwise using a screw-driver. Is this a correct assumption on my part?If you do have such bias adjust screws, yo... 
Down graded, with fantastic results
Marco,I must answer your post w/ some caution because there are aspects of which I agree with & yet disagree w/ some aspects as they apply to audio."My point was that you can sit around looking at all the "faults" of what you have in life, or ... 
Down graded, with fantastic results
Marco,Re. your comments about trading up from a Honda Accord to a Mercedes Benz - that's *NOT* what I wrote (if you'd care to read my orig post again). I was talking about taking the same amount of money & buying a better implemented amp. So, ... 
Down graded, with fantastic results
I do agree that it does not take much of a cash outlay to get good & even very good sound in the home environment. The sound with relatively inexpensive equipment is, in general, a bigger compromise than some well-designed hi-end gear but the ... 
C37-Speziallack
Hi Jadem6,I also read about C37 sometime back. I stumbled upon it accidently over on AudioAsylum. There I noted that member "Thorsten" has extensive experience w/ this lacquer & uses it in his designs. I think that you can either ping him on A... 
Tuner for Jolida 502B
i've got a couple tuners attached to my 502A - a Technics ST-8077 (solid-state analog tuner) & a Sansui TU-D99X (digital tuner). Both sound very nice thru the 502A. The Sansui is more sensitive than the Technics by 10-20%. Am using an indoor r... 
Electro Harmonix tube opinions
well, this might not be directly related as my experience is with the 12AX7EH whereas you want info on the 6922EH. However, FWIW, I like the 12AX7EH tubes in my CAT preamp. It lends a certain richness to the sound that the Ei12AX7 tubes do not. In...
