| Does the balanced output of the Sony SCD-1 invert The early version inverts, the later one doesn't. The later one has a little symbol ("D" if I remember rightly) under the display.Remember, the SCD-1 is not a true balanced design. The balanced signal is created at the output stage. Unless you're ... | |
| Can I hook up two amps to the same speaker? If you leave both amps connected to the speaker, the one powered up will likely damage the output stage of the one powered off. That's why you need a switch.Also, if either amp uses tubes in the output stage be sure that the speaker is connected t... | |
| Amp Fuse in Atlanta? If it's a standard glass cartridge fuse, it should be a Radio Shack item. | |
| XLR/RCA adapters problem - Electrocompaniet Each leg (hot/cold or +/-) of the balanced connection runs 1.6 volts max. The cold or "-" leg caries a 180 degree out of phase copy of the signal on the hot or "+" leg. A balanced input inverts the signal on the cold leg and adds it to the signal ... | |
| XLR/RCA adapters problem - Electrocompaniet By using the adapter route, you're still running singe ended, not balanced, even though you're using the "balanced" outputs. Balanced connections rely on the difference in signal between the "hot" and "cold" conductors. Done right, this is why the... | |
| Tube Amps with Balanced Inputs As I said earlier, SET is an unbalanced technology - you can't stay fully balanced all the way to the speakers. | |
| Tubes and TVs If you're just co-locating your music system and TV, and don't run both at the same time you won't have any problems. | |
| Tube Amps with Balanced Inputs A true balanced amp processes the inverted and non-inverted components of each channel of each balanced input through seperate circuits (including discrete volume control sections). The amp responds to the difference in signal across the inverted ... | |
| Reimyo 777 vs Victor XL-Z900....amazing This is an interesting thread - I had just started researching whether JVC built non-USA models using the Z900 transport and K2 processing. It's been tough - there isn't much info on the web and what little there is is in Japanese. The search engi... | |
| Tubes and TVs Lead sheet is good for stopping x rays but isn't much help for magnetism. The best thing I know of is mu-metal, but it's kind of expensive and hard to find. Next in line would be steel or iron sheet. The only real way to tell if you have a problem... | |
| Tubes and TVs CRTs are susceptible to external magnetic fields. Using your proposed setup, the transformers in your amp may be close enough for stray magnetic fields to affect a CRT TV. It's hard to say, since it depends on the amp's power and circuit layout - ... | |
| Reimyo 777 vs Victor XL-Z900....amazing DOes the XL-900 use the K2 v2.0 24 bit technology like the CDP-777 or the original K2 20 bit technology? | |
| Moving from L.A. to Sydney; The Voltage Issue Contact the manufacturer's service departments. They'll answer the question. | |
| Amp Ground Plug - Safe to Remove? Connect one voltmeter probe to the ground plug in your wall outlet and probe the chassis with the other.Gs5556 is correct, there is some future risk if leakage chassis leakage develops. However, if the power amp is connected to the processor (or p... | |
| Amp Ground Plug - Safe to Remove? You're probably OK, but to be sure take an AC voltmeter, attach one lead to ground, and probe each chassis with the other. If you see more than about 5 volts or so then you have a problem. Modern gear runs the power leads (hot and cold) directly t... |
