| CDP putting out too much DC current The way most digital stuff is built now (with surface mount parts and multi layer circuit boards) there's not a lot you can do on your own without risking collateral damage.Bite the bullet and send it back for repair - especially if it's still und... | |
| making our own custom cables/interconnects ... But then where would the fun be if you don't drop a few thousand on cables? Seriously, if you have good electronic construction skills you should have no problem making decent, inexpensive cables. | |
| Stick with.. KMA-100'sMKII or go for KMA-160's ??? The only downside - more heat and greater AC line demands.The KMA 160's draw more current from the AC supply. If you're close to maximum now with the 100's you might pop breakers with the 160's.Remeber, the 100's and 160's draw lots of current fro... | |
| What would you do?? My two indoor cats aren't allowed in the room where I keep my stereo gear. | |
| Why does my MSB DAC III click? Just a guess, but I bet that both your CD and DVD player drop the SPDIF signal during the track search, and the MSB is muting its output in response. | |
| What does High Current mean? Actually the math does work. A constant voltage source would double the power delivered to the load each time you halve the resistance.Power = Voltage squared divided by resistance (P=EE/R), so if we halve the resistance:EE/((1/2)R)=2(EE/R)=2P, or... | |
| A Love Supreme I don't think you need any help! "A Love Supreme" is Coltrane at his most passionate - it can rivet you in your seat. | |
| Can CD's deteriorate by LASER ROT? I was a CD early adopter (oh the shame!) and have a number of first issue CD's from 1983. None show any signs of deterioration and play just fine today (boy has CD sound come a long way!).I also have a number of laserdiscs, and a number of these d... | |
| 24/96 upsampling vs. 24/192 upsampling vs. no upsampling? Dweller is confusing "upsampling" with "resolution enhancement". Upsampling means that we resample the input stream (i.e. 44.1 khz CD) at a higher sampling rate, retaining the original 16 bit word length. If the higher sample rate is a non-integra... | |
| Universal supports SACD Now Sony needs to make all its SACD titles dual layer.... | |
| Where to buy DVD As and SACDs on the net I've been using Elusive Disc, Acoustic Sounds, and Amazon and have had no trouble finding SACD's. | |
| What are the affects of setting tracking too hi or low? With the force too low you'll get distortion as the stylus rattles around in the groove. Low tracking force can also cause damage to the record.High tracking force usually sounds good but produces excessive record wear. | |
| NOS, single ended, push-pull??? Actually few tube amps are Class A. Most Class A amps are transistor.Amplifier class is a complex subject, but basically if the tube/transistor conducts through 360 degrees (the complete cycle) of the waveform it is running class A. If it conducts... | |
| dbx Noise Reduction Units The last reply jogged my memory - There were two dbx systems, type I and type II. Type I was intended for open real tape and used a wider bandwidth into the compression control channel and less eqaulization. Type II was intended for cassette, LP, ... | |
| CD Transports: Data Drops Etc... Remember, that unlike an async serial data transfer between two uarts, the SPDIF signal contains both the data and clock streams intertwined. Unlike a uart, which knows a priori the operating baud rate, the SPDIF receiver must extract the clock fr... |
