| Conrad Johnson Classic noisy channel. Sorry "to fast", typing in a hurry. | |
| Conrad Johnson Classic noisy channel. Hi Dre, I would take a scope and look at the voltages again and see if the left side has some garbage "AC" on it? It could be a bad cap not filtering out the garbage. Your voltages seem okay. If there was excessive current draw on the left side th... | |
| DIY. Whose speakers would you use? Here is link to some pretty good information. http://home.earthlink.net/~etunstal/diy.htm I would probably buy a kit then change parts "caps/coils/wire" I built some Dynaudio kit speakers from Madisound years ago, when they still sold there driver... | |
| tube recommendation please Gte357 which of the two tubes is first in line is not really so important. You can be sure they are both in the signal path. I build tube preamps myself (diy). All the designs I have came across use one stage for gain and one is for drive/impedanc... | |
| tube recommendation please Looking at the specifications on your amp it has a gain of 12db. That would point to the 12au7's being your signal tubes as you are calling them. Really they are the first tubes in the gain stage and the 12ax7's are used as drivers. Unless there i... | |
| Vandersteen 3A sig , on the naked I think I'm the luckiest man alive. I have the Vandersteen's with black end caps and my wife actually likes the way they look. God love that woman! | |
| Speltz Anti-Cable VS VH Audio CHeLA spkr Cable Hi Chris, I haven't used the Anti-cable but I went from Goertz M1-2 bi-wire to VH audio Chela cables and I'm very happy. The amount of information retrieved is better and I feel better in all regards. I am thinking of buying a second run to make b... | |
| Using 110 V gear in 220 V countries Why don't you just get a nice step-up transformer and leave it at that? Or see about having AR change the power transformer wires. The power transformer should work on both 220 and 110 if they are using universal transformers. | |
| goldpoint volume controls and switchers Dan you can look up review's and talk regarding the Elma stepped attenuators as well. They make the attenuators for gold-point. I can search for some a little later.Stanwal I am currently using a 100k 24 stepped series style attenuator and I have ... | |
| goldpoint volume controls and switchers Hi Dan, I haven't used the goldpoints. But everything I have read has been positive. I did build a 2*24 series stepped attenuator using PRP resistors. I compared it to the ALPS blue that came with my integrated amp and a TKD 2CP-2511. I can tell y... | |
| Audio Space CDP-8A vrs Jolida JD100A I have a modified Jolida in my office system. I did have it in my main system for a couple of years. I have Vandersteens and a modified Jolida 502 also. I felt the Jolida was pretty good. But I also felt it was missing something. It was much bette... | |
| lowering gain in a tubed pre-amp I had a Matisse fantasy preamp and it was much the same. I did experiment using -6db and -10db attenuation and this made a big difference. I ended up with a preamp using 6SN7's with a much lower gain and have been very happy.I agree with Mechans i... | |
| Conrad Johnson PV-12A - Remove Phono Board? Well this would take some work. You would need to build another power supply to start. The power supply will have it's own sound so you would need to copy it. It's been years since I looked at a PV12 but if I remember right the transformer is tapp... | |
| Volume problem with Passive Preamp You can add a series resistor as Elizabeth mentioned and that will help with the first step. But unfortunately it will not correct your problem with steps being too great as mentioned.You can go to this website and look at voltage dividers and fig... |
