| 12v Trigger connection for Pass Labs X150.5 Since the 12 volts is just going to a relay coil polarity is irrelevant. In my case I installed a 1/8 jack on a preamp that had only the screw terminals. If you don't want to modify equipment you need to cut off one end of a 1/8 phone plug cable a... | |
| Stereo amp narrower than 18" for Martin Logans A pair of CI monoblocks, D100 or D200, side-by-side would measure 12". | |
| Arkiv music Cds how are they? I have a few, none "burnt". They are of excellent quality. FWIW, some folk believe that "Burnt" copies are superior to the originals. | |
| What is meant by IMPORT? In the case of Classical digital discs, I have found that quality goes with label, and it just happens that the best labels are European. | |
| Subsonic Rumble Solutions Dan_ed and Fap...I am a strong proponent of multiple subs, but when playing LPs I have found summing of LF to be essential. Of course you can make a rumble filter which simply attenuates all LF, but why throw away the mono component which is relat... | |
| CD player connected directly to Amplifier? A "digital" volume control does not have to be implemented by "throwing away bits". If you were to "throw away" a bit, and I guess that means left shift the data, the bit you would lose would be the least significant one, which, since you are list... | |
| Subsonic Rumble Solutions Most rumble is from vertical groove modulation. Horizontal modulation, which is a mono signal is much cleaner. A good rumble filter will blend the LF signal to mono, which many people do anyway when they connect a single subwoofer. Also, when reco... | |
| Can digital cables be used as interconnects? Digital cables are made with a different impedance and so are optimized for dighital pulse transmission. But they will work for audio, perhaps not optimally. You won't hurt anything. Try it. | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment Rodman99999...FYI...Bose pilot's noise-canceling headsets are almost universally preferred by pilots over other noise-canceling headsets which cost less. | |
| Subwoofer Frequency Response question What you described, a deep notch at the crossover frequency, is the classic symptom of drivers out of phase. In fact this is the best way to find out what the crossover frequency is. Invert one driver, and look for the notch. | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment I bought the Rain-X. The package says "do not use on plastics..." I'm sure I have a disc that I don't care about and it will get the treatment. If I try it and it doesn't work am I then authorized to say so?I know it works on windshields, so my $3... | |
| High-pitched whine AFTER playing vinyl Touch your finger lightly to the stylus when it starts to make the noise. Does that kill it, at least for a moment. It sounds like you have some kind of ocillation problem, likely caused by too high gain. Often a signal, like the music while the r... | |
| Upgrade Receptacle on 15A breaker Use any kind of outlet you fancy. The current drawn depends on your equipment, not the outlet, and probably doesn't exceed 3 or 4 amps except for a surge at turnon. If you short out the outlet the 15 amp breaker (or fuse) will open. In other words... | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment Repairing scratches that cause skips is not the same thing as making a perfectly good disc sound better, or louder. Scratch repair is plausible. | |
| Into 2009; What rules?? Tubes or Solid State In England, and other constitutional monarchies, the King Reigns, but does not Rule. Tubes are the aristocracy of audio. They reign. We bow to them. But transistors rule. |
