| 1 Micron in-Water Filter for Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Tanks Water has impurities. wasn't implying anything about your cleanliness. And wasn't doubting it worked great. If it didn't plug up eventually I'd be concerned. Sounds like a good product to me. Jerry | |
| Rogue Audio. Reliability issues? Anyone? Check your plate voltage. Is it autobias? if not, confirm your bias current by calculating the plate dissipation with P=IV, Jerry | |
| 1 Micron in-Water Filter for Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Tanks I have some experience with water filtration. a 1 micron filter will give you clean water. It will plug fairly rapidly. how often do you change the filter cartridge? Jerry | |
| Modifying Crossovers @falmgren "needs modifications" is too strong, and you probably meant it that way. But if an $11K speaker couldn't be improved, there would be no need for a $12K speaker, would there? Crossovers are one of the areas where speaker manufacturers t... | |
| Modifying Crossovers @invalid Look at my photo above and there are some very good suggestions. While many upgrade the capacitors, and resistors aren’t expensive to upgrade, inductors are often neglected, that is, not upgraded to a level consistent with the capacitors... | |
| Modifying Crossovers I apologize to the audiophile gods. Nobody can know more than someone who has hung up a shingle and become an OEM. | |
| Modifying Crossovers To get a crossover with high end components you'll have to spend $100k or more. I am currently building new external crossovers for my speakers. I spent $2300 on caps, resistors, and inductors. Here is a photo of the final layout completed jus... | |
| I can't connect my Audioengine A2+ I assume you are trying to use them wirelessly via blutooth? I bought them solely because they have the ability to be driven by a usb cable to their (superior) onboard DAC. Quite an upgrade compared to blutooth. | |
| How many of you are passively bi-amping? What do you have? Erik, Tekton provides both options. I don't know why they short the 2 hots and the 2 grounds internally on speakers set up for biwire only but they do. My speakers were biwire only but were not marked, I got that verbally from the original pu... | |
| EBAY MONEY BACK.......WHAT A JOKE ??? Other’s experience including mine is different. I’d look at how I handled this and consider what I should have done differently. 20 emails in 14 days is quite a lot. Maybe they are still working through all of them or perhaps were overwhelmed. Je... | |
| Left Channel Out Primaluna Dialogue Premium I will never agree with @aniwolfe on this one as I have gotten lots of wrong answers from the supposed experts. Sure ask them, but be prepared to go "hummm". But maybe they will have a good answer. This amp doesn't have a tube rectifier, which c... | |
| McIntosh MC901's internal active crossover & speaker's internal passive crossover @cleeds Biamping is technically correct. Biamping is what I meant to say. However, a speaker truly set up for biwiring should be the same as one set up for biamping. Some speaker manufacturers have the biwires connected on the inside, so they ar... | |
| McIntosh MC901's internal active crossover & speaker's internal passive crossover If you want to replace your internal passive crossover with an external crossover, then you need separate wires to your tweeters, midrange, and woofer from the crossover. I looked up the Mc901. It is a hybrid amp that wants to drive your woofers... | |
| Help with hiss Unplug the interconnects from your preamp. that will rule it out. is there anything else plugged into your amps (besides power)? If it is still there, then it is likely a power or interference issue as Erik has described. It can't really be an... | |
| Help with hiss Assuming the hiss comes from both speakers, then it is not your speakers or your amplifiers. It comes from further upstream, a component that processes both channels. I would guess your preamp. |
