| help w philips turntable Download the SERVICE MANUAL and look for the muting switch (refer to page 14) inside the turntable and check if the contacts stuck. | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp I have a Benz Micro Glider rated at 1.1MV I think your Glider is the SM ( medium output level) with 24 ohms resistance and recommended loading is 240 ohms or higher. If 100 ohms loading is too low and 470 ohms is too high, you can turn on both... | |

| Another “How to choose an arm” question Yes, you are rigth but when you can't mount a second tonearm in the same TT then the arm pod is an alternative... @rauliruegas I'm quite surprise that why in another thread you strongly disagree of using outboard arm pod on VPI non suspended... | |
| Squeaking/Paper Crinkling Noise Coming from Lamm LL2.1 Noises are equal in both channels. Could be the power supply, since both channels are sharing it. | |
| 16 OHM Vintage JBL speakers model C40 Your McCormack solid state Amplifier is okay to use with 16 OHM speakers but it only can output approximately half the 8 ohm rated power. | |

| McIntosh MA9000 temperature in standby "standby" and "idle" are two different things! In "standby", all the circuits in the integrated amplifier are shout-off except drawing small current to provide power to lite up the "standby" LED and maybe some control circuit. Therefore the heats... | |
| Will skinny-leg diode restrict amperage compared to fat-leg bridge rectifier? there is no fuse that blow at start-up. Since the mains fuse can pass inrush current which is much higher than the rated value, why worry it will restrict current flow? I am just exploring amplifier performance enhancements, at the expense of... | |
| wiring advice Each transducer has an impedance of 8 ohm, and a power rating of 5W RMS / 10W peak. The total power requirement of 8 transducer = 8 X 5W = 40W RMS The amp impedance range is either 2-8 ohm (specs) or 3-8 ohm (printed on the amp itself), and c... | |
| Will skinny-leg diode restrict amperage compared to fat-leg bridge rectifier? The two main higher amperage fuses i will replace with aliexpress Aucharm fuses...with a rating of 1amp higher than what was taken out...just to get the size of the wire a bit larger. Why a correct rated fuse blow at start-up? Think about it! ... | |

| bi-amping with Tube and SS amp @ei001h I have a SS 5 channel amp, am I able to use just 2 channels out of 5 and not cause any damage to the amp ? Since most SS amplifier can stay on without load connected to its output, it is perfectly OK to use just 2 channels out of 5. ... | |
| bi-amping with Tube and SS amp @mceljo is correct. You need a switcher with built-in dummy load to connect both tube amp and HT amp to your speaker. Amplifier-Receiver-Speakers-Selector-Switcher The resistor dummy load is to protect the tube amp’s output transformer from ... | |
