| Need understanding on amperage From the A21 schematic published by Parasound, each power buss to the output stage is fused to 8 amps. No amplifier fused for 8 amps will run 60 amps very long before vaporizing the fuse link. From the Littlefuse data sheets for an 8 amp fast blow... | |
| are some phono stages more resistant to hum? To clarify my comments, phono carts are ISOLATED devices, but are not inherently balanced. A true balanced voltage source would produce a symmetric V+ and V- signal referenced to common.However, I agree they can be run in a balanced configuration ... | |
| Speaker spikes on concrete or wood floor best? Jedinite:I have a similar setup to yours. I have B&W 803ds that have 2" Eden sound footers, mounted on a 3.5" thick maple plinth. Under the maple plinth I have 3" diameter Eden Sound long spike carpet footers that pierce my carpet to a wood fl... | |
| Nakamichi 582 issues Thanks for your reply. I had heard of willy before, but his services are not cheap.I guess my question would then be is that 582 worth more than the cost to R/R it?It's not the sound quality per se of cassettes that bothers me, its the tape noise ... | |
| are some phono stages more resistant to hum? Lewm:The cartrigde may be connected in "balanced mode", but when you connect the shield to the minus input, you convert it to single ended. You have to reference the input voltage to somewhere, and for phono inputs its the shield (-). If you could... | |
| schticky to clean lp's My concern would be residues left behind by these shticky rollers. Even a microscopic film can build up over time and transfer to you stylus.As far as cleaning the gooves (or getting in there), if wood glue works, maybe these will as well. But pul... | |
| Sutherland 2020 vs Parasound jc 3 I have Parasound JC line stage and power amps, and considered the JC3 for my phono. Only thing that held me back was a total inflexibility of input loading (capacitive and resistive) that a phono preamp at this price should have. Plus, no gain alt... | |
| CJ MF2500A or Parasound A21 or ? For B&W N802 Cannot address the CJ, but I owned an A21 and used it with my B&W 804s for a number of years. I did end up getting JC1s and am glad I did. B&Ws need power (I'm sure you have heard that before), and the more the better. I don't think my A21... | |
| Need understanding on amperage To further clarify.When you look at a "current rating" spec you need to know at least two things:(1) At what voltage is the current being specified.(2) Is the rating CONTINUOUS or transient.The ratings on wall power are usually continuous maximums... | |
| Impressions of PS Audio GCPH Rodman:I should have been clearer about the photos. The photo of the interior is not of the GCPH, it is the GCHA (page 4 of the manual, under "Questions and answers"). The same photo shows up if you Google the GCPH, and here:http://hifi-unlimited.... | |
| Impressions of PS Audio GCPH Michel:48-54 dB sound more reasonable. Remember that gain is only as registered on the gain setting when the volume control is full CW. If used at 1:30 - 2:00, its about 6 dB lower.My comment about the input capacitance value of 100 pF comes from ... | |
| x-tronic 4000 soldering station I have a Hakko temp controled FM-202 soldering station and just love it. It has interchangable tips, and will even do surface mount with a heated tweezer attachment. Each tip is calibrated by the controller so it produces the right temperature irr... | |
| Connect eq to amp Only if the line preamp has a true Tape monitor function. That is, when a source is selected and sent to the tape record out, selecting tape monitor substitutes the Tape In for the selected source without disconnecting the source from Tape Rec Out... | |
| System feedback coming thru speakers.....help The sonic character of your noise sounds to me like "popcorn" noise. This is a bad semiconductor or tube, and if it happens with the Nak connected directly to the power amp, my vote is it's in the Nak. If it were in the power amp, you would hear i... | |
| Power cord for Technics SP-10MkII These turntables use so little power (26W max I think), that power cord sizing is irrelavent, even through IEC connectors. Its only drawing about 200 mA, after all. Shielding on the power cord might be helpful, which is one feature available on so... |
