| What to upgrade first for better sound quality? Sorry about jumping into this topic late. I have an ASR Mini Basis Exclusive phono amp and it made my Thorens TD 145/Grado ME + mono sing, which is really saying something. Now I'm waiting for a low output Grado Statement Sonata 1 mono and will pa... | |
| FLAC, WAV or AIFF question My understanding is that AIFF and WAV are the same when it comes to bit rate but between the two, the bits are just arranged differently. Therefore the sonic quality between WAV and AIFF is indiscernible.I use A+ 2.0 and I have WAV, AIFF and DSD f... | |
| Quad 2905 ESL Arcing Sparks I agree Bgordonr and I've discovered that the panels are $500.00 each. I'm just hoping that it's one and not two or more. I'm still working on getting it up to the tech. | |
| Quad 2905 ESL Arcing Sparks Thanks Bdp24, I didn't know that MOFI now carried Quad Audio. Yes, these protection circuits are suppose to work and in the past it has but not this time. There's a repairman near Cleveland who may be able to do the repairs. And if they were still... | |
| Quad 2905 ESL Arcing Sparks Thanks Ebm. I'm wondering what type of servicing this speaker may need and the standard costs that it will incur. The mistake was that the recording I was listening to was so bad that everything got turned up in order to hear it. In fact, the soun... | |
| The HH Scott 350 A MultiplexCircuitry No problem, it's just that I hadn't any knowledge about your being capable of servicing the tuner, that's all. If there are site rules about soliciting in circumstances such as these, then it seems to be somewhat counterproductive. | |
| Multiplex Tuner Repair Yogiboy, I appreciate what you have to add but I believe you're over simplifying. The intention from the start was to make this a project of no half measures. If there is nothing to be done to improve this tuner, then I will stop investing in it b... | |
| The HH Scott 350 A MultiplexCircuitry OK, so you're located in St Paul. Had you mentioned it earlier, however I make it a practice to follow through with the first person in the chain. I'll call if I plan to send it to you due to circumstances. | |
| Multiplex Tuner Repair Being a newer building, this is one of the few buildings in Cincinnati without a fire escape. In fact, if I had a fire escape, I would put an antenna on the roof. The cable lines are somehow grounded, so I'll need some time to look around to see w... | |
| Multiplex Tuner Repair Thanks Rich, the MD ST2 is likely the first and possibly only option, as the landlord would probably object and getting to the roof would involve a good deal of risk. As I mentioned before, the satellite dish is on the brick facade, the front of t... | |
| Multiplex Tuner Repair I have good mono sound and bad stereo sound. I have good mono reception and good stereo reception according to the meter. My thought however is that my stereo reception needs to outshine that of my mono reception but I am at a point where I don't ... | |
| Multiplex Tuner Repair Sorry Rich I forgot to mention that I've got a single Monster 12 gauge copper wire on the 300 ohm antenna screw and that's connected to the thinnest wire of a TERK Edge without a power connection. No ground, I take it out of the window sill if I a... | |
| Multiplex Tuner Repair Hi Rich,I've got threads going on about basically the same thing so thank you for being patient. Yes, Ive got metal window frames in this building as it was built in the 1960's. The station wattage shouldn't be too much of a problem, currently I'm... | |
| The HH Scott 350 A MultiplexCircuitry No Atmasphere they did not do a stereo multiplex alignment and I told them that this was what needed to be done as well as them cleaning the oxidation in the outputs.The technicians said they had never heard of a multiplex charger but that was aft... | |
| The HH Scott 350 A MultiplexCircuitry OK, so here is the scoop straight from the technician concerning the 350 A; 'we can't find anything wrong with it so we want to give you back your bench fee and you can pick up your tuner also.'The tech tested the tubes and caps and said they were... |
