| Tweeter Capacitor That's along with OP, there is a very good reason for the frequency collector .1 or 01uf to be added along with the 6.8uf. That copper bypass is a real good choice. They are directional too. The arrow towards the - or away from the +. It will work... | |
| Favorite religious song Old Gospel: The old rugged Cross. | |
| How does room correction treat multiple passive subwoofers? You're smart. That is a question you should ask. HOW? The correction is as good as the programming and the programming has parameters. It can't tune 4 separate subs from one mic reading. Nor can it tune 4 separate subs on one common amp output. BT... | |
| Do power supply units/cables make a difference in sound quality? I always protect my expensive equipment. I use maintainers with circuit breakers and of course surge suppression. The quality of the AC source is as important as cleaning the dust off a stylus. Power cables and quality cabling are as important as... | |
| How do you arrange the order of your records? 400 or so pristine 78s and 1000 or so 33 and 200 45s. Many of the 78s are still in the Book albums. The 33 are in ALL conditions including frisbee and wall art. 3 types of records and I play about 30 albums at the most. I have 10 or 12 I listen t... | |
| Question Regarding New Item Damaged in Shipping I'm positive shipping has nothing to do with packing. A lot of people think otherwise. If there's no outside damage and no inside damage, that's not packing or shipping it's a mater of inspecting a product before it ships. You have the proof it... | |
| Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp I don't think a single person HERE is implying Atmasphere or the product he manufactures is anything but "Top of Line", "Best in His Field". Please understand other professionals do exist outside the audiophile community that also encompass most o... | |
| I'm trusting FedEx/ UPS less by the day A few packing issues. Never a shipping issue. I had two packages sent to the wrong address because the seller put the wrong address on the package. If it's close to 75lb or very expensive, it goes freight. No exceptions. I've strapped a few pream... | |
| Tubes becoming hard to get? I don’t use KT90,99,120,150 or 170. I haven’t had any issues finding valves. The last quad of GL KT88 was in December of 2021. I paid 220.00 for a 5% match vs 10%. The last I looked they were 400.00 + for 10% 800.00 for 5%. Upscale might say 20%... | |
| Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp I thank everyone for a little spring in your step.. I thought I was going to fall into a coma these last couple of months.. :-) LOL From Kimber about Kimber KAPs: "All values of Kimber Kap have a red lead at one end. The red lead should go towar... | |
| Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp "It’s funny that us audiophiles sometimes believe we understand electronics better than electrical engineers do. If DCS, Pass, and other good brands ship their products with standard cables and fuses - shouldn’t we be able to reject the urge to up... | |
| Installing dedicated 10 gauge lines Nervous they will be proven as fools. I'm sorry to hear you feel that way. I guess it makes you mad when your friends don't want to play? Maybe "they will be proven as fools". But you're right, your EXTRA smart, super duper smart, calling other... | |
| Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp Fuser? George is wearing glasses again. It is bright down under. I know rectifier valves are not in the signal path so they can't affect the sound. OK!! You win.. You're smarter than me.. Now time to get ready for work. BTW oldhvymec sends his... | |
| SQ or performance? Well I like the "Opry" and Chet Atkins. I like the 50-60s. Enrico Caruso was my fathers favorite, the recordings were pretty bad. I think they were on wire or something. I didn't dare go near it. I tip-toed around that guy. He did encourage me t... | |
| Amplifier for distributed bass array A few years back I started using Behringer 6 and 12K amps along with DCX2496. I've never looked back. I've tried a few amps too. :-) 12K are almost 30 pound of class Ds. #10 wire inside the amp with breakers, not stick fuses. ++ for me. |
