| Speaker Re-cap. How do you know when? HowdyYou may want to open the speakers and find the largest capacitors in the crossovers, then verify if those caps are in paralell with the woofer(s).Assuming that Infinity used a second or higher-order crossover, you will find an inductor in ser... | |
| Mixed driver tube for Mcintosh MC275 Every tube matters in a tube amplifier, but you knew that already.In general, the higher the gain of a tube, the more it affects sound quality.The current-version Mc275 uses three 12AX7s (high-gain) as input tubes and four 12AT7s (medium gain) as ... | |
| Burson Audio Burson's headphone amp is based on their discrete op-amp (a very linear, high-gain amplifier stage).I have compared Burson's op-amps to several of the top-rated op-amps and without a doubt they sound way better than everything I have tried: AD843,... | |
| Accuphase DP-77 or DCS P8i? The DCS P8i has been discontinued two years after introduction, it sounded bright and glaring when compared to Wadia, Accuphase or Audio Aero CD players, IMHO. The new one-box DCs player is the Puccini, which I have not heard so far. | |
| Need help with choosing a transport. Besides sound quality, your main concern when buying a transport should be parts availability in the future, specially the laser unit, which has a finite life.So, buying a decent CD player from a well respected manufacturer with a good service tra... | |
| Setup 12V trigger for B&W DS7 Hi SanjoseThe correct setup is a long male to male 3.5 mm cable, connected between receiver Remote OUT and woofer Remote trigger IN.The trigger connection on the DS7 is certainly not a speaker connection. The industry-standard for remote trigger c... | |
| Silverline SR 17 speakers and Dynaudio drivers TinrhuThanks, I would like to first hear from user's experience. I may contact Alan further down the line.I sold a pair of used Silverline SR17s to a friend of a friend. I have never had any troubles with the speakers, which are in mint condition.... | |
| audio aero capitol reference - XLR or RCA ? Bob Reynolds, you are correct.Common mode noise reduction (CMRR) will only happen if the source AND the receiving end are balanced. Adapters at any end of the cable do not bring any of the balanced IC benefits and degrade sound quality by means of... | |
| CEC TL0X not playing long CD This is a guess (50% chance of being correct):A CD player's laser unit slides to and fro along a rail, usually a stainless steel rod. My guess is that none of your CDs is longer than the FIM CD, therefore the laser sled has never reached the far e... | |
| Droplet CD Player: Contacting Consonance IME a few chinese and korean companies consider that the client-manufacturer relationship ends after the sale is closed.This is a cultural and economical trait that comes with extremely high volumes, very short product lifecycles and low margins.I... | |
| Valab DAC Question I believe this is actually a computer glitch, not a DAC limitation.The USB standard states that any USB device should be activated and recognized by the computer at the moment it is powered up. From that moment on the digital output of your comput... | |
| audio aero capitol reference - XLR or RCA ? Hi MasiluThe factory rep information is correct. The Capitole's single-ended outputs are converted to a balanced signal by going through a Burr Brown special line driver that splits the signal into positive phase and negative phase (pins 2 an 3 of... | |
| Setup 12V trigger for B&W DS7 Usually, it is a simple 3.5 mm male plug to 3.5 mm male plug cable. Just connect the cables as a daisy chain, from one component to the other.I suggest that you read the Denon receiver manual, to find out exactly what kind of cable. | |
| Cary 805C I believe Brf meant all of the coupling caps, not power supply caps.Mundorf Silver caps are designed for coupling and speaker crossover duty, not power supplies...they would become too bulky and expensive.Coupling caps are tipically .1uF to 1 uF, ... | |
| ASR Emitter owners-help. Not normal.There are no transformers within the amplifier chassis (they are in a separate chassis). Probably the bias needs to be adjusted on both channels.Contact ASR and find out the correct bias setting for your amp.The bias adjustment procedur... |
