| Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp An there's the rub. You THOUGHT, but not quite long enough. It's ok you are the very first one to ever say that. If you keep walking you will fall off the edge. I really thought this forum after all these years had finally turned the corner. It's... | |
| I'm trusting FedEx/ UPS less by the day The part I like is when the weight limit is 100lb and the part being delivered is 95 pounds. I can lift 100lb pretty easy, while I’m looking at a box van full of 3-30 pound packages. A sub is heavy, but fragile? It’s a SUB. :-) I was helping out ... | |
| Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp Never keep reversing the fuse, NEVER wipe the goo off the fuse, NEVER. Install the fuse and let it play if you think it's wrong, wait for at least a day. Then with fresh ears reverse the fuse. IF it sounds better leave if it doesn't put back the ... | |
| I replaced my breakers and everything sounds better! Did they use a copper drop and copper in the walls or aluminum clad? You're close to when everything had aluminum drops and clad aluminum everything else, including buss bars. I got a sub panel and I wanted copper. The salesman acted like it was f... | |
| Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp It’s not a question of truth, it’s a question of weather you keep up with what the heck is really going on. Haven’t you seen great strides in cables alone or are you STUCK in the 1800s. It makes no difference to (I suggest) millions that can and d... | |
| What should I be looking for when buying my 1st Reel To Reel ? Expensive and very time consuming. PARTS at a reasonable price for one. A lot of the heads interchange. There are a lot of RtR nuts out there. I'm one of sorts. I use a direct head playback unit. It's still a matter of good source material. You... | |
| Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp BTW another mechanic loaned me the book, we're both into stereo equipment. He's almost 70. Western Electric nutter. AC/DC speakers. | |
| Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp I’m really surprised to read atmasphere say that a fuse can’t have a preferred direction. That is also telling me you don’t look at the wire and how it’s pushed through the dies before soldering them in a preferred direction. Is that right? You do... | |
| Installing dedicated 10 gauge lines Lunch break. Thanks be to the lunch wagon, I'm starved OK! I didn't say anything this morning, is conduit an option? YOU can buy pre bent conduit and add a nice looking large (er) external route. The nice thing about that is you can pull extra w... | |
| Installing dedicated 10 gauge lines First things first. Code in my area is #12 for a 20amp circuit. I see a lot of people pull larger gage cable. Larger cable and a 20 amp breaker is still a 20 amp circuit. I have a 30 amp 220/240, 2 dedicated 20 amp 12/2/g and a 15 14/2/g in my fr... | |
| Sound color with different jumper materials, Wrong? which part? I been learning for almost 50 years in my trade. I find thing I can do different and many time better than the first few times I tried. Things do change.. | |
| 12AWG speaker wire I understand OFC, OCC, UP-OCC, after that I could care less. I have a buddy that paid 10K for OFC/teflon/tungsten. They still sound great. He tried to sell them for 2K not even an offer. I'm very sure after new terminal ends, and adding a construc... | |
| 12AWG speaker wire + 1 williewonka If the runs are really long, shorten them up. NO I don't want to hear it.. Shorten the runs and move your equipment. :-) If you have to make your own unless it's an RCA don't solder anything if you can. Pressure weld or use secur... | |
| Vinyl Repair? + 1 rodman99999 I call it "the appointed flipper", no drinking or toking while record flipping is going on. The alternative is to have a playlist with a "Party" lockout. Flip the switch and it plays until you turn it off, but no monkey business, ... | |
| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) Thanks russ69. I have zero noise issues with any of my equipment. I'm pretty good at that part. I had my C20 done by Samra @ oldhvymec's suggestion. That was the best money I ever spent. The Cary I'm babysitting for OHM. It came in as he went ou... |
