| Thiel CS1.6 How to remove woofer? Lay the speaker down on its side, unscrew and open the bottom plate, then unscrew the four mounting bolts on woofer and you can move the woofer out from the bottom. | |
| T6.3AL250v Fuse: Slow or Fast Blow??????? Yes, it is a slow blow, low breaking capacity fuse. | |
| Cons of using main XLR/Balanced outs for subwoofer? Is there any harm in using the main XLR output to send signal to the subwoofers, and using the 1, or 2 RCA output to send signal to the main drivers? Go for it, McIntosh C220 has separate buffer on each output. | |
| Separate subwoofer amplifier with remote. What would work for stereo setup? Check out the OSD Audio’s SMP500DSP or Velodyne SC-600D, both come with remote control. I use a Velodyne SMS-1 connect to Sunfire stereo amp to power a pair of 15" passive sub. | |
| Rebuilding Power Amplifier(s) Now I have no experience of such work , but I can't see any great skill needed for such work. All I can say is GOOD LUCK!!! https://liquidaudio.com.au/hall-of-shame/ | |

| 845/211 tube amplifiers with kef reference 5? Bel Canto SET80 use 845R power triodes and output 70Watts per channel. https://www.stereophile.com/tubepoweramps/598bel/index.html | |
| Mystery Capacitor and the Tangent RS4 Crossover The cap was somewhat damaged as I removed it from the circuit board so I was just a bit concerned about whether it would measure accurately. That "infamous pink mystery cap" also known as "Tropical Fish Capacitor". Some DIYer still using it for... | |
| Theoretically better to connect my subwoofer from preamp out, or from outputs on my amps? Cable has resistance, inductance and capacitance. IF you want the mains input and the sub input seeing the same signal at the same time, theoretically you should use same cables with same length to feed the mains and sub from preamp outputs. | |
| 5.1 or 7.1 AV Receiver that allows Surround to Switch to Zone 2? You can use a a/b switcher connect AV receiver zone2 and surround channel output to kitchen speakers input. | |
| Mystery Capacitor and the Tangent RS4 Crossover You will note in the picture is the infamous pink mystery cap that prompted the start of this thread, which has since measured at 2.25mF. I’d be curious if there is anyone out there who can tell me that the color code matches my measurement.The ca... | |
| Mystery Capacitor and the Tangent RS4 Crossover Correct me if I’m wrong, 2.25mfd, 1mfd parallel = 3.25mfd 3.25mdf, 10mfd in series = 2.453mfd 2.453mfd, 0.47mfd parallel = 2.923mfd 3mfd should be close enough, and I guess the 0.47mfd is not an electrolytic and has low ESR. | |
| Mystery Capacitor and the Tangent RS4 Crossover @timlub The OP ask why so many caps, isn’t those four caps equal to 3uf in value? I mean the four caps on the left of 0.35mH inductor in his schematic! | |
| Mystery Capacitor and the Tangent RS4 Crossover it seems to have a lot of caps for a two way crossover (8 in five styles), plus 2 resistors and 3 coils. Modern designs I have looked at typically have two or three caps for 2 two way crossover. According to your schematic, seems like you can use ... | |
| Accuphase E-480 @foolishman, Congratulations! Please let us know the jumper settings for 120V, maybe a close up picture will be nice, it will help other members if they need to do voltage conversion. Thank you in advance! |
