| Aurender N10 connection with the network It sounded like it was a glitch caused by a computer virus, aka Windows 10. | |
| Question about wpc on tube amps A statement such as 10 watts of tube amp power equals 100 watts of SS power is from a marketing textbook and not a physics or engineering text. Power is consumed by a load -- a light bulb, toaster, motor, space heater... or a transducer (loudspea... | |
| Krell KSA 200s ground hum A common way of wiring the RCA jack on amplifiers is to connect the RCA ground to both the signal ground and the chassis. The chassis ground connection is isolated through a filter with low value cap. The problem then could be the RCA jack is touc... | |
| ML No532 Amp Repair Those service centers have the ML schematics and parts. Pyramid's owner, I believe, worked for the old Mark Levinson brand. Any one would be a far better choice than finding a repair center on your own. When an amp causes a popping sound it's DC ... | |
| What does Nominal Impedance mean? Incidentally I have never seen a speaker whose impedence measures a flat 2.5-3 ohms over 100-10k Hz. Have you? I have the Thiel 3.6's. From Stereophile: | |
| What does Nominal Impedance mean? Nominal means "in name only" and has little to do with the actual impedance of the speaker. That’s why it’s confusing. The speaker impedance is measured across the frequency band and someone at the speaker company looks at it and says hmmm... that... | |
| The "audiophile gear" I REALLY need is a damn house. Headphones. Good ones, along with a top notch amp and dac. You'll never go back to a mid level two channel system again. | |
| Anyone know what would cause an amp to cut out briefly? Or it's a manufacturing defect. It's a symptom of a joint that wasn't soldered. First place to check is where the B+ splits to the power tube plates. | |

| Willsenton R300 Circuit Design Issue Now I see what’s going on. First, the 6SL7 will be damaged with 400v because its max plate voltage is 300 volts. This is a simple common cathode amplifier. The 200K plate resistor and 400V B+ at 120 volts yields a plate current of about 1mA per s... | |
| Willsenton R300 Circuit Design Issue May I respectfully suggest that you do not turn on that amplifier until you are sure of what you did. The 1N5380B is not a diode, it’s a zener diode and its breakdown voltage is 120V. That means it either maintains 120 volts (regulator) or it dro... | |
| Thiel CS3.7 repair You'll get a lot help from the Thiel Owner's thread... | |
| Help-Looking for Service Manual for ML 23.5 The reason you probably can’t remove the copper bar is because it has two downward bends and connects the two smaller 1900uF regulator caps. Those caps are tough to get to and you’ll need a 5/16 hex box wrench to get the wires off (screwdriver won... | |
| Huge difference in sustain in a single string? Could me a manufacturing defect, try another one. If the issue remains, check the saddle to see if it moved from where it should be for proper intonation. Also check the nut to see if any gunk is at the bottom of the groove. | |
| 20amp v 15amp If the wall outlet is 15-amp 125V then you'll need either a 20 amp to 15 amp plug adapter or a one foot 20/15 power cord. Each are less than 10 dollars. But if you know how to replace a receptacle, then install a combo 15/20 amp 250V receptacle. ... |
