| stereo cartridge on mono record Jaybo...If you had ever listened to the L-R signal when a mono LP is played you would not call the problem "theoretical".By the way, you might try listening to the same L-R signal from a stereo FM radio broadcast. The L-R signal is separately broa... | |
| stereo cartridge on mono record Samujohn...It isn't "theory". Vertical groove modulation in a mono recording is pure noise. You are saying that you like some noise mixed in with your music. Try this...Connect one channel of your cartridge inverted. Jumper the two channels using ... | |
| Magnetic repulsion? I see a new audiophile gizmo! Turntable with superconducting magnets. But the liquid Helium tanks would have low WAF. | |
| stereo cartridge on mono record A stereo cartridge is sensitive to vertical modulation of the groove. A mono record has only horizontal groove modulation, and whatever vertical movement occurs (and this includes turntable rumble) is pure noise, and you don't want it. It is essen... | |
| 4 Ohm Speaker with an "8 Ohm Minimum" Reciever Stanwal...AWG 20 wire is 0.0119 ohms per foot. 150 ft of such wire (75ft round trip) would be 1.78 ohms. Not really a problem, especially if the speaker is 8 ohms. | |
| 4 Ohm Speaker with an "8 Ohm Minimum" Reciever Sfar...What are you thinking!! The smaller wire would slightly INCREASE the impedance seen by the amp and make the load easier to drive. Something else caused the change. | |
| Need to replace Subwoofer volume control Drew_eckhardt...Any time two pots are ganged there can be a tracking error. Why would a log pot be made as a series of linear segments? Seems to me that this would be more difficult to make than a straightforward log taper. | |
| Need to replace Subwoofer volume control Stonedeaf...NOT Linear taper. It should be Audio taper, but these are so hard to find that Log taper is usually substituted. Characteristic of the original pot could be determined using an ohmeter once you get the thing out of the circuit. | |
| An Advent Guy Advent speakers (along with AR and KLH) really implemented the "acoustic suspension" principle, where the enclosed air provided the "spring" for the woofer. Hold one of those old drivers in your hand and see how the cone flops around when you move... | |
| pixelization? I sometimes see pixelization on my old CRT TV set, so it must be in the cable signal. | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? I mostly agree with Tvad's item 3. The constant uncertainty detracts from enjoyment. | |
| What power conditioners can convert 230v to 120v? To tell the truth, not much audio equipment (or other stuff) is "designed for the US". It's a global economy, and compatability with the various voltages around the world is usually a design requirement, and an easy one to meet. Transformer primar... | |
