| Isolation transformers output voltage higher than wall I've seen those cheep plugins that were accurate and those that were not. Anyway, you've got nothing to worry about. Other than your transformer may be doing more harm that good. Jerry | |
| Innuos Zenith Mk3: Won’t Start Properly! I have the same streamer and would be glad to check any;thing that would help you. I leave mine always on as well. I haven't updated the firmware lately and will delay until I hear back from you what the issue you are having is. Good luck and l... | |
| Midifying a UK 240Vac/50Hz Thorens TD160 BC MkII to US 115Vac/60hz usage? I have no experience with this turntable. It might have a transformer that has 120 volt capability. You'd have to be lucky. Others can answer this. I have used EU amplifiers. You should have no problem running your tt on US 240, you would hav... | |
| Why don't higher end amplifiers come with a separate power chassis? @gs5556 You lost me at "circuit boards"...point to point is a design requirement for me. | |
| Wilson to Tekton to ???? Lot of comments in this thread from people who have never heard Tektons....may they celebrate in their superiority and be happy. | |
| Why don't higher end amplifiers come with a separate power chassis? My new amp being built is in 3 chasses. But it is really to make it one-man portable. I specified the heaviest chassis to be 50 lbs. So far the interconnecting cables are complete. the transformers are in transit from Europe. Jerry | |
| Finding (calculating?) speaker and amp impedance @asctim Don’t assume everyone that puts their name on a product is above average intelligence. | |
| Need tube help! try the tubes that are in it. I wouldn't put a lot of money into tubes for that amp. | |
| Wilson to Tekton to ???? Don't worry about looks (assuming that is a possibility for you, I know some people can't get past looks) and just think about how they sound. I don't think it is generally possible to have speakers too big for a room. With big sensitive speaker... | |
| Finding (calculating?) speaker and amp impedance It is a measured parameter. The speaker designer needs to have this as a priority in their design. One speaker designer who does a great job with flat impedance/response and phase angle is Eric Alexander. | |
| Power cable dilemma Yesterday a guy on another forum thought I was arguing with him but as a physicist I was just explaining to him why he was wrong. He told me his 14 awg cable was plenty good for any amp up to 2400 watts became that is what the code says. (20 ... | |
| Compact ~20WPC Tube Amp @charles1dad The best amp I've ever heard uses 6sn7 to drive 6c33c. I just picked up an amp to play with, partly because it uses 6sn7 to drive many choices of power tubes. I'm eager to experiment with it. | |
| High powered single end 300b recommendations Physics limits the 300b SET to about 8 watts. Switching to tubes often means you need to switch speakers. Jerry | |
| Why limit yourself to one streaming service? I like to have one system that I know well, am comfortable with, and operates seamlessly. Most songs are on both tidal and qobuz at the same resolution so having both is mostly duplication. If there becomes an issue where there are many songs a... | |
| Compact ~20WPC Tube Amp Decware ZMA is a push pull amp that sounds like an SET. 2 yr wait so watch for one on the secondary market. they do show up (I bought one). Edit to add that there is one listed for sale on the Decware Classifieds forum. |
