| New Wolf Von Langa SON Owner! Congratulations on a great speaker purchase. Consider the Townshend Platforms which are my personal preference. They are tuned for the mass of your speaker. Your power supply drives your field coil and may not benefit much from an upgraded powe... | |
| Priority use for purchasing my first linear power supply - Streamer, DAC or Amp? The one that has the worst internal power supply. Probably the zen. Don't know what powe supply Freya has. Jerry | |
| Modifying Crossovers @jaytor I was headed that way (internal) but I went with Jantzen foil inductors and I finally gave up trying to make everything fit. I even had one built and disassembled it last night. Good luck with your upgrade. Jerry | |
| Turntable weight affects speed @clearthinker I'm done. best of luck. | |
| Modifying Crossovers @vair68robert My internal crossovers are on 2 boards and to replace them interally with bigger components would have taken at least 3 boards. I appreciate the simplicity but am no expert at designing crossovers. I'm going with the same values as... | |
| Modifying Crossovers @nrenter Good post. BTW, the new crossovers I'm making are going to be external with a plexiglass top. As for "is it worth it? I'll have about $3k in this upgrade by the time I'm done. I don't expect it to be a religious experience. But I... | |
| Modifying Crossovers @boxertwin12 Indeed full range drivers have their fans and I'm glad you enjoy them. I prefer to go the other way. thanks. Jerry | |
| Modifying Crossovers @lemonhaze Good eye identifying the components. Indeed those are Duelund bypass capacitors. They are actually in the midrange circuits. Didn't feel a bypass was necessary for the low frequencies. The Path resistors are proven by friends that h... | |
| Turntable weight affects speed @jea48 good theory. something is rubbing that shouldn't be rubbing, and with the extra mass, it rubs more. | |
| Turntable weight affects speed @clearthinker Please understand that my post here is meant to keep the physics correct and not to embarass you. You have a rudimentary understanding of some physics concepts, just enough to be dangerous, as they say. Indeed, there is angular mom... | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? My daughter is a freshman business student. I am a physicist. She called me for help with calculus. She was doing the standard first calculus problems for first and second level integration and differentiation. In physics we do x, v, and a (p... | |
| Rogue Audio. Reliability issues? Anyone? So a post above says they have manual bias. turn the bias down by 10 mA and that should help a lot. If it is a KT88 then maxx plate dissipation is 40 watts. I'd run it at 30 watts and if having problems, I'd use 25 for a while. You need to kn... | |
| Turntable weight affects speed Hand spinning will get it up to speed. Once up to speed, the load on the belt/motor should be the same with or without the weight (physics). If it is different, then you have something dragging or a bad bearing that results in extra frictional for... | |
| Rogue Audio. Reliability issues? Anyone? @nickrobotron matched tubes is of greatly exaggerated value. Especially if your amp has good bias control. Now you're having trouble with bias (is my guess). This is why I greatly prefer manual bias control. So don't even consider paying for... | |
| Modifying Crossovers Clearly there are a few members here, a vocal minority that one person has called a "consensus" that think it is crazy to touch an OEM component and if God (the OEM) had intended you to have a better crossover, he would have given you one. I’m fi... |
