| Please alleviate my fears Also, it states that you can change the volume display from decibels (-95 to 0dB) to arbitrary volume units (0 to 96) units. | |
| Please alleviate my fears Read page 11 of the manual here. There are setting to change the inputs level. Hopefully this will solve your problem. | |
| McIntosh C26 - 1st to totally stump me in 37 years You could also measure every trace with your multimeter to check for zero ohms. There could always be a hairline crack in the trace. A lot of times, the trace will break close to the solder joint. Clamp test lead (if you have clips for your test l... | |
| McIntosh C26 - 1st to totally stump me in 37 years Check all grounds. Also, make sure you didn't accidently reverse polarity on one of the caps. Last I can think of, make sure you didn't replace a non-polarized signal coupling cap with a regular electrolytic type. There are free schematics on the ... | |
| 5U4G suitable for Dyanco ST-70? When I worked for an electronics store back then, I don't ever remember Dynaco saying it was okay to use them. Here is a copy of the owners manual where on page 9 it states, "A 5U4 type of tube can be used for testing purposes." I have never seen... | |
| 5U4G suitable for Dyanco ST-70? I wouldn't use a 5U4 in a ST-70 either. Also, Dynaco didn't recommend it back it the day. Nowadays, the voltage from the utilities is higher in a lot of areas than it was back then too. That means the 5U4 could be harder on the amp's power transfo... | |
| Fuses that matter. After reading so many posts about fuses on the net, it seems too many people are overlooking the safety factor these fuses are made, and used for. Some people even state they are using jumpers in place of fuses. Some people state they leave the ho... | |
| 90db 4 ohm with tubes? With my other post, I'm thinking what an amp may do when it just has to power that certain frequency (or frequency range), that has a high or low impedance variation, in comparison the frequencies that are more linear as far as impedance goes. It ... | |
| 90db 4 ohm with tubes? I think you will still have issues with frequency response variations due to impedance variations, if you run a large solid state amp. If you run a speaker with a nominal 8 ohm impedance that rises to 16 Ohms, and drops to 4 ohms at times, I'm gue... | |
| The Lawyers Have Taken Over Audio "The more you spend, the closer you get to musical truth."Fortunately, most of us here knows it doesn't work that way. I've heard a couple of systems that cost roughly $400k, to $600k, that didn't sound as good as some way under a $100k systems c... | |
| Big Sky Audio to upgrade Adcom GFA-535ii? I wouldn't spend the money on the little Adcom either. About roughly twenty years ago, I came across one already done. I can't remember if I bought it, or if it was part of a trade back then. Another thing, that amp is 60 wpc @8 ohms, I believe. T... | |
| Turntable rumbling Ignore my comment about Shure. A friend had me trying an Ipad, or something like that with a small screen. Besides double checking your arm setup, may possibly someone else used your table and dropped the arm causing damage to the cantilever, or s... | |
| Turntable rumbling Scratch my statement about the Shure cartridge. I'm back on my regular size laptop computer, and can read it better now. Sorry for the Shure brand mistake. | |
| Turntable rumbling I reread your post. If you're using a Shure M97xe type of cartridge, you may need to set it at around 1.75 grams, if you have the brush/stabilizer in the down position. If you have it in the up position, it appears it should be set at around 1 to ... | |
| Turntable rumbling Maybe the tracking pressure is too high? Rumble is a continuous low frequency rumble sound. What you're describing sounds like it may be something different. |
