| Synergistic Research Orange Fuses SR offers a 30 day full refund return policy. I don’t see the point of this thread; you can try it for yourself risk-free. | |
| Bulding Cabinets, Binding Posts, and Speaker Wire ??? You could use a pcb or a bus bar. Drill two holes in the bar and place one hole on the binding post and secure with a (secondary) nut/washer. In the other hole put the inside binding post and likewise secure with a nut washer. Back to back bind... | |
| Electrical/mechanical representation of instruments and space The microphone acts no different than your ear drum or speaker cone. How a single cone produces overtones is simple. Say you are listening to a 20 hz tone. The speaker cone moves back and forth 20 times a second. For a 100 hz tone it’s a hundred t... | |
| Capacitors for HP filters in tube amps recommendations? Those frequencies are mHz, not Hz (0.080 and 0.175) . Why you want to cut off below 80 to 175 hz? | |
| Amps with meters ... I like meters. They look like little conductor's batons keeping in pace with the music. | |
| Help with Sonus Faber Extrema issue I hear you, George, but it happens with two amps. I guess the way to be certain is to repeat the failure mode, turn off both amps and immediately measure the resistance across both speaker's terminals and compare. If one is way higher than the oth... | |
| Help with Sonus Faber Extrema issue I agree with the crossover problem. There is a power resistor in series with the tweeter. If it is failing, the resistance rises with temperature and the signal voltage is converted to heat instead of music.Explains why it's only one speaker, happ... | |
| Classe CA-2100 - LED turn red, Amp shuts down, LEFT side of the Amp is extremely hot! Set the DMM to resistance and measure across the collector and emitter of each of the power transistors. If it shows an ohm reading then you have a shorted transistor. This is the most likely cause of thermal overload trip.But first disconnect the... | |
| Need Help! My Class A Amp Is Running Very Hot I've had Class A amps for years so to me what you're describing sounds normal. Looking at a picture of the inside of the 590, each of those massive heat sinks is for only four power transistors. That tells me the designers expected all that heat. | |
| Audiophile Receptacle question I would go with hospital grade receptacles (Hubbell, Pass Seymour) and save a lot of money to get the same results. The objective is to cover and grip the power cord prongs as tight as possible and that's what HG receptacles do.But I think vintage... | |
| Photos with ads???? Shipping carton is very important. To me it indicates the item is genuine and legitimately purchased. | |
| How many amps do you own? Now I don't feel bad:Mark Levinson 20.6 Class A 100-watt monos (Winter space heaters);Mark Levinson 23.5 (Summer);Audio Research 100.2;Homemade 2A3 monos;Heavily modified Adcom 535 | |
| New to classical music Search for Denis Matsuev on Tidal. Pick a Tchaikovsky or Rachmaninoff, turn up the volume and enjoy | |
| Recapping The life span of a capacitor depends on the voltage it sees and the temperature of its environment. For example, I had to recap my 15 yea-old at the time Audio Research 100.2 because a couple of the power supply caps were bulging. The reason was o... | |
| How many of you believe in MQA? I personally would not invest in equipment with MQA because I don't want to be tied to what Tidal decides to stream in that format. And lately their new releases in classical is a couple of months behind Qobuz... |
