| Caps and Tubes You can get a new set of tubes from Upscale Audio. They're a little bit expensive but they have good quality tubes and if you contact them they will be very helpful. If you don't know how old the original tubes are, then it's a good idea to get a ... | |
| Dedicated electrical lines Your house is at least 140 feet long? I’m impressed. The material alone for three 140 ft-plus circuits is almost $500 if you buy it yourself.What the job will cost is hard to say. Depends if the electrician is going to do the carpentry work.I am a... | |
| Stranded vs Solid Copper You can use Wiremold, would look a lot neater IMO than EMT tubing. Use the starter box over the outlet, then run the channel housing the bare conductors along the wall on top of the floor moulding and up to a Wiremold surface box that holds the HG... | |
| When should caps be replaced? For the power supply cap gone bad, you will hear a 120 hz hum;Crackling and popping noises from the speaker can be bad electrolytic caps in the tone circuit (balance, bass, midrange, treble); A bad electrolytic cap on the feedback circuit can pro... | |
| Question about Schitt Gumby dac I have the Yggdrasil (same muting relay circuit): I use an Aurender N100H and a Theta Data Basic II. Both do not engage the muting relay when paused/resume. I also have a CEC TL-1 and I’m almost sure that didn’t click during pause/play either. | |
| When to replace preamp tubes? It depends on the preamp, some of them are tougher on tubes than others so you really can’t get a definitive answer. You can install new tubes from the same date batch for each channel and one will give it up after 6 months while the other can sta... | |
| Accuracy vs. Enjoyment There are two types of accuracy:"Accuracy #1" can only be obtained if your system is the exact same system the recording engineer or artist uses before they release the CD or LP because that is what they use to tweak their artwork. Not only the sa... | |
| How to guess the volt-amp rating of the transformer in my amp You could also multiply the mains fuse rating by 120 and that'll be in the ballpark. | |
| Need to recap my Classe Audio DR-8 Amps - need suggestions You can try United Radio in East Syracuse NY or George Meyer AV in Los Angeles.FYI: age is not a reason to replace capacitors. When they get worn out the amp will let you know with buzzing and loss of definition in the bass. If they work, leave ... | |

| Replacing fuse No. The design engineer knows the expected fault current and from there determines how much time to melt the fuse, and that corresponds to 6.3 amps for your device. | |
| Question of power Power conditioners do not make electricity (the same way pumps can't make water when the source dries up). Your amps each draw 12 amnps and that's why the mfr requires a dedicated line because the 120 volt outlet will most likely "dry up" by a tri... | |
| Aurender N100H I, too, have no problems. On the General Settings, turn off "Show only albums with covers" and turn off "Restore filter".Also try opening the metadata of a sample file and remove all the artwork. Then place the the album picture file in the same s... | |
| Soulution preamp DC-offset protection I would check the CD processor to see if that preamp indicator light is functioning properly. Download a 0 dBFS test signal at 50 or 50 hertz and burn it to a CD. Play the disc and measure for DC at the outputs with a DMM. If it is zero (or below ... | |
| There should be a "Rant" category... Whether it's unreasonable or not depends on what did you want more -- the equipment or 100% of the asking price sitting in your checking account? |
