| Pass Labs and Fuses Wolf, not even the manufacturers of the >$150 (50cent) fuses are backing any of the claims the magic circle fuser club are saying. If you look at any "legit" audio product discussed, the manufacturer is always only too happy to give input when ... | |
| Will my Krell drive a 2 ohm load? Yes it's not that they can drive big current down to a short, it has protection circuits that either switch the amp off during a shorted output or severely current limit it's output, not a great thing it's said for sound quality.As you'll find amp... | |
| Pass Labs and Fuses Let me guess.....is the one behind it upside down compared to most? I guess that’s me, would be nice if I had that much influence from down here, I’d use it much more, with this malignant, snake oil, voodoo, rubbish.And it's the same old magic ci... | |
| Subwoofer rumble issue Almost certainly one or two of the 12au7's will be the pre stage output tubes.Cheers George | |
| Subwoofer rumble issue big_katydid The combination of TT, room, track and record warps led to a loop that saw the drivers very quickly oscillate more and more until the paper cone literally tore open around the center area, this took less time than I could get over... | |
| Subwoofer rumble issue Where and in what are these tubes situated, if in a tube preamp (model?) and your using the aux input you are still fully using the output buffer tubes of the preamp, but you say they seem to be ok? So then I'm affraid we come back to the air-born... | |
| Pass Labs and Fuses What a putz, sez it all | |
| Pass Labs and Fuses Mods!! This thread, needs to be shut down, it's turned toxic just like all other fuse threads have. None, not one, especially SR fuse manufacturers have come onto these forums to stand up to what BS they (and the magic circle club) say these fuses... | |
| Subwoofer rumble issue No not telling you to, would never do that Paul, but beside putting the TT in another room, it was the only other fix for me with bass that goes to very low frequencies.Just dawn on me, if you have any tubes in the chain, these can go "microphonic... | |
| Subwoofer rumble issue Back in the TT days Paul you had speakers that were lucky to go below -3db@50hz, now there’s subs that can go 2 octaves lower, with 1000w plate amps, this is what I found with Linn LP12/Ittok/Supex1000 and my Kef B1814’s 19hz, then CD came along, ... | |
| Should I buy used Thiel CS5 But there are two smaller black ones with a middle hump and rounded ends that are similar shape to ELs Possible, but the guy that stripped those xovers and posted the pics says they are plastics, Those ones have "two little men" on them after I z... | |
| Subwoofer rumble issue He's already proved he has air-born feedback, do the test above as in my first post, the way Ivor Tiefenbrun laid out all those many years ago, (know who he is?) Or sell the OP your useless car valve springs, or your magic pebbles, better still... | |
| Should I buy used Thiel CS5 This info on the caps below in italics is from the owner that stripped them, and "time alignment" parts info from Thiel. complexity and total number of parts. whatever problem Mr Thiel was attempting to solve. The two midrange units, for example,... | |
| Should I buy used Thiel CS5 You will want to replace electrolytic caps. No electrolytic caps, all plastics, last forever (well almost)https://www.whatsbestforum.com/data/attachments/17/17403-3e3aa52a4bb8c32c4dab3b281e022f17.jpg" The CS5 crossover is itself also heroic. Cons... | |
| Subwoofer rumble issue Yeah unfortunately you have to live with the negatives of the rumble filter is doing to the low bass, shame as that was what getting a sub woofer was all about. Like I said the only way to totally get rid of "airborn feedback" as you found you hav... |
