| Levinsos 585.5 No Power Out. - Assistance? Is the power light steady (ready to play) or flashing (standby mode)? Did you download the manual and go through the all the menu functions? Those new Levinsons have nested menus and there are a lot of parameters that can mute or attenuate volum... | |
| Low Powered Tube Amp Distorting High Efficiency Speakers? Before starting any troubleshooting process with tubed gear, it's always a good idea to substitute new tubes first (or a stash that you know works). It's an expensive undertaking but unfortunately even new tubes can be defective or out of spec rig... | |
| Chicken or egg question Connect the No.23 that does not work to the working RCA outputs at the preamp. The RCA inputs to the 23 are connected to the non-inverting (pin 2) XLR. If it still doesn't work then the amp is at fault. Since the No.23 has two discreet circuit in... | |
| Looking for an Amp Replacement This should be an exact match if the lead spacing matches: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/WIMA/MKS4F034704C00JI00?qs=NW4srbNA5mel6gkPoAUV7Q%3D%3D | |
| Looking for an Amp Replacement The amplifier will work perfectly well with another brand of capacitor that has the same voltage rating and capacitance. I assume the cap you damaged is one of the Sprague silver cans. If the damaged cap is on the raised daughter board, it is clos... | |
| Amp power output in relation to impedance change Amplifiers do not put out power. They provide a voltage source, just like a wall outlet. The load (speaker, resistor, arc welder, whatever) draws current from the voltage source and if the source can maintain voltage the load will consume the powe... | |
| An analogue preamp designer question Without a test printout of frequency response, signal-to-noise ratio, THD+N and one channel un-driven crosstalk measurements, it would be difficult to gauge the price to performance value. You have to know what your competitors are capable of at a... | |
| it is fake or real transiator? I don't see why anyone would fake them. They are available everywhere for about $1.00 and about $0.70 each when purchased in quantity. Both STmicro and Multicomp manufacture them. | |
| Why 432hz Tuning? I was just watching this yesterday... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt3EAPDn-Ug | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? Here’s an analogy. Suppose you have to run 100 feet of hose to a lawn sprinkler from a hose bib. The instructions say to use a 1-inch diameter hose for that length of run in order for the sprinkler to spray the design water pattern. You say that d... | |
| Amplifier circuitry-4 ohm vs 8 ohm Each tap is a secondary winding on the output transformer. The primary voltage is transferred to each of the 8-ohm and 4-ohm secondary windings equally. The impedance is set by the turns ratio of wires between the primary and the 4 ohm tap, and th... | |
| Mcintosh 2301 tube amplifier, how much power used from the wall? If the amp draws 5.5 amps at 120 volts then 660 watts is the most that can be converted to heat (energy is always conserved). That can mean, for example, you will need an additional 2,250 btu/hr for a room air conditioner just to remove the heat f... | |
| Primaluna 300 integrated running 6L6 with high bias switch I doubt the plate voltage changes. That switch most likely changes the voltage to the power tube grid. Much easier -- and much safer -- to do it that way. | |
| A ridiculously cheap cable riser. Change the make and model to Delizia Musicale Acensione Suprema, add another $5k for distributor markup and now we're talking Absolute Sound Editor's Choice territory. | |
| Speaker wire question? 18 wire is good for 17 amps max and about three amps for power transmission. That battery spec indicates a power consumption of 0.1kwh which is the same as a 100 watt bulb on for an hour. So the amperage drawn is less than one amp. Appears that ev... |
