| Hiow to replace wall wart on step up with battery You are missing nothing, I was wrong. Sorry. I looked at some websites for info on the Benz and for some reason gathered that the supply to it was DC. I now look and see that it says right on the front of the unit that it is AC 24V 3VA.The only wa... | |
| Hiow to replace wall wart on step up with battery ALL audio equipment runs internally on DC. Most take the AC from the wall and convert it internally to DC, easily done. A scarce few don't have this AC to DC conversion and run solely off batteries. Some, like the Phonomena can run off either.I di... | |
| Hiow to replace wall wart on step up with battery I did a lot of research on this when I built a battery supply for my Naim CDX2. I'll assume you have basic electronic skills and a multimeter. You'll need a system of switches or connectors so you can switch the batteries from the preamp to the ch... | |
| Speaker upgrade I recommend Wilson Alexandria X-2 or X-1 Grand Slam depending on your budget. It should get you where you want to go. Add a pair of Wilson XS subwoofers if you really want to fill out that bottom end. | |
| Record Clamps It is very difficult to use a clamp with a suspended table. If it is a clamp that relies on weight and is heavy enough to flatten a record then the extra weight loads down or bottoms out the suspension. If it is one that you press down and then it... | |
| KT88 single ended amp recommendations please Audiopax makes one too even though it is not a conventional SET amp and probably over the $$ limit..http://www.audiopax.com | |
| KT88 single ended amp recommendations please I've never heard of a KT88 SET amp. The PrimaLuna is push-pull is it not?Your choices are very wide for an SET amp that uses a DHT like a 2A3 or 300B, but not a tetrode. Just curious why you want an amp that uses the KT88. | |

| Reversing Polarity -- Voodoo or Easy Tweak? so that sine waves are back in "phase" if you will pardon the term.I know what you mean, in and out of phase just seems to sound right, and any use of the term polarity with a modifier seems to sound clunky and incorrect.Both Hi and Lo signals are... | |
| Reversing Polarity -- Voodoo or Easy Tweak? I thought Who was on second.Eldartford, perhaps you are correct about mic placement, but if you are listening to a live kick drum you will surely be out in front of it unless you are the drummer and the sequence will always be one way or the other... | |
| Reversing Polarity -- Voodoo or Easy Tweak? I see we are still confused, and I don't blame anybody for being that way since it is a bit confusing even without the years of improper use.AC, which has no + or - poles! Only DC has a + or - polarity. Speakers can have only an absolute phase inv... | |
| Reversing Polarity -- Voodoo or Easy Tweak? When I said "equal but opposite polarity" I meant equal amplitude but opposite polarity.If the picture doesn't show up here is the link[url]http://home.bellsouth.net/p/s/community.dll?ep=334&fileid=1630988&groupid=56202&folderid=203789... | |
| Reversing Polarity -- Voodoo or Easy Tweak? If ONE speaker has + and - (it's polarity) reversed, then the system will be "out of phase".Their polarities are reversed, they are not out of phase. However, this description (out of phase) is so deeply ingrained that I should just give up on it.... | |
| Reversing Polarity -- Voodoo or Easy Tweak? The correct term when talking about wiring speakers is polarity as stated in the original question, not phase. Phase has to do with time, polarity has to do with whether a signal is going positive or negative. If a speaker is wired with the wrong ... | |
| can i play old 78's with a shure v15vmxr I forgot to mention that a lot of 78s didn't use the same response curve as the modern RIAA standard so they won't sound their best through an RIAA phono stage. If you get serious about it then you will want to get a phono stage with adjustable cu... |
