| Damping Factor larryi - Nailed it. | |
| Thorens 160 motor fix or replace? I would tend to agree with pesky_w. You could always upload a video to youtube and post a link. Thanks for that info hoytis. | |
| Cabinet resonance problem with Marantz MM9340 amplifier I've used spray on 3M rubberized undercoat, P/N 03584 on the inside of a CD player cover with success. Good luck. | |
| Is there any one piece of vintage gear you most wished you owned? I'm working on them now, a pair of Yamaha B-3's. I missed out on a David Berning preamp several years back. | |
| Is rectifier tube arcing a problem? atmasphere - Thanks for taking the time to educate, me anyway. I have always appreciated and respect the knowledge you and imhififan have brought to the AG forum.👍 | |
| Is rectifier tube arcing a problem? decay - Are you offended? Your multiple comments here were of no value. I was not commenting on you, as I do see that you do make valid contributions occasionally. My comments were meant to encourage imhififan and atmasphere to contribute more oft... | |
| Cabinet resonance problem with Marantz MM9340 amplifier Contact Marantz and have them fix it for free. This is unacceptable. | |
| Bi-amping I'm using a home built analog crossover with low-noise / high-speed op-amps. It's 24dB/octave, nothing very exotic. I started with TDM. There are many manufactures to choose from for a relatively low price. Many prefer digital crossovers, I'm just... | |
| Is rectifier tube arcing a problem? +1 atmashpere too. I'm not a tube guy, but atmasphere has a point about the caps being too large. I ran into this problem while servicing a Sony V-fet amp. Both of you guys know your stuff. | |
| Bi-amping You can bi-amp with the crossovers still connected in the speakers, no jumpers between speaker posts. Even without an electronic crossover at the amplifier inputs you will still hear a noticeable improvement in sound. With an electronic crossover ... | |
| Is rectifier tube arcing a problem? Finally, some real help for this problem. Thanks for helping to solve problems that the wannabees simply cannot. | |
| What is Tight Bass? +1 pesky, elliott, realthing - It has to do with the control of the woofer, higher damping factor is a major player in this. It does not have to do with how low a frequency the amp/driver will produce. If you want the deepest bass, it comes from a... | |
| Bi-amping Always crossover at amplifier inputs. And, in my opinion get rid of the internal crossover in the speakers too. | |
| Speaker cable shootout Townsend Audio Fractal F1, Fidelium, AA Statement e SC Cryo rhodium Thanks for the link, unfortunately these are out of my price range.☹️ I'm using solid 16 gauge silver for the highs and silver plated 12 ga. for the mids and lows. I'll bet your 9 ga. sound great! | |
| Bi-amping +1 for both of the above comments. I've been multi-amping for many years. Started in 1976 with just bi-amp and will never go back to passive crossovers again. Good luck! |
