| Quad ESL Cap mods Sugarspice, I think that protection at the speaker is safer.Many well-regarded amps thump when powered up or down, not to speak of the absent-minded user that turns the amp on, then the preamp. | |
| Have you tried the Furutech AND the Acme fuses? Grisslehamn:Sorry, my mistake, I was thinking of fast blow fuses for CD players, preamps and so on.My system has zero, nada slow blow fuses.A warning for everyone reading this thread:Never replace a fast fuse with a slow blow fuse, there is a safe... | |
| Have you tried the Furutech AND the Acme fuses? AFAIK Furutech only makes slow blow fuses, so it is impossible to compare apples to apples. | |
| ASR Emitter II Exclusive question Mantis, the ASR stock PCs are not Magic, they rae very thick PCs, made by ASR with silver wires and copper plugs. | |
| Luxman 3045 mb I believe you have a better chance of getting specific technical advice if you post on one of the tube DIY forums. | |
| ARC = What are the Golden Amps HiI believe your first priority should be the CD2, if you listen often to CDs.Its sound quality leaves much to be desired as compared to a (used) CD7. | |
| E188CC/7308/6922 HiTake a look at the Phillips codes here:http://www.audiotubes.com/PhilipsCodeList.pdfThose tubes are Ecc88 AKA 6dj8, not 7308 AKA E188cc. | |
| Some ideas to a 12v custom noice filter. Jesper, DC noise filters can be implemented passively with shielding, more capacitance or inductance (a choke).I do not recommend any form of voltage regulation, because a car batery is nominally rated for 12 V, but in reality most batteries opera... | |
| Looking for the best CD 3-4k Tripper, Tent Labs is a kit, not a ready-to-go player.AnhKhoa, please tell us what unique technology does Gamut use that makes their CD player outperform all other Cd players!!Goone, I like very much the McIntosh MCD301 player, I believe you can g... | |
| question about Cary 306 sacd pro, owners help??? Chassis flexing? | |
| cd/dvd player with digital remote volume control IMO, for best possible sound quality you should not use a digital volume control. Digital volume controls work by reducing bit depth, 'eating' bits of resolution. Once you go lower than 16 bits it sounds like an Ipod with a weak battery and cracke... | |
| Cary 306SACD trouble I suggest that you remove the top cover and take a good look at the rack and pinion gears that move the door, usually made of white Nylon.They may need lubrication; use white lithium grease only, any other oil or grease will "eat" the nylon gears.... | |
| Quad ESL Cap mods Mksj:I believe that the main reason why you are delighted with the sound quality after modding the speakers is the difference in distortion, clarity and speed between crummy electrolytic caps and high quality film caps.I still can not believe that... | |
| Recommend good isolation Tobias, I second Herbie's products and great advice.I use their tube dampers and the lampblack spheres under my tube amps. | |
| SET amp w/Neg feedback? Hi!I believe it depends more on the kind of SET amp and how tough is the load (loudspeaker effieciency, impedance and phase angle). Most DHT SET triode amps have low distortion levels and in general sound quite alright without NFB, when matched to... |
