| life span/failure rate of filter capacitors? Thank you, @imhififan , screw in terminals as well! I will need to get my amp down and the bottom off to measure and see if they will fit. Thanks again! | |
| Amp biasing question @whart , yes, I agree that is separate from biasing. And I may have misunderstood the postings I have been referring to. I just was getting the impression that before turning the amp on, the pre should always be on. If I had that right, one wo... | |
| patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole @moto_man , my ears probably aren't good enough for that, but I was planning on doing some listening tomorrow after the 1pm game. I will put "Companion" at the top of my list (after playing a warm up disc) and I am game. I haven't heard much on... | |
| Amp biasing question @whart and @testpilot I understand what you are saying. My question was due to reading separate threads that: if I was understanding them correctly, were stating that prior to turning an amp on, not only should it be connected to speakers, but... | |
| life span/failure rate of filter capacitors? Yes, @rickysnit , I think it would be a good preventive maintenance action to take. As far as having anything in mind, no, I don't know much about that stuff. I have been looking on line (including Partsconnexion) trying to find the value I nee... | |
| I have found out why new cables and tweaks actually work! Well, I am half way there already, I have a detached retina that I never got fixed, so when the next one lets go . . . what an upgrade that may be! | |
| patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole Patricia Barber . . . another artist that I would love to see in concert, but I suspect that nothing can top her Companion XRCD. @moto_man , I didn't know that "Companion" was on XRCD. I have the Blue Note digital pressing that I bought befo... | |
| I have found out why new cables and tweaks actually work! I have considered gouging my eyes out in hopes that my ability to hear will be enhanced. | |
| life span/failure rate of filter capacitors? Or it could be a strange individual making up stories for forum entertainment. @rickysnit , I suppose that anything is possible, but if you go through that thread you will note that the OP had photos (from a shared photo site that are no longe... | |
| patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole @2chfreak , I actually enjoy "Wallflower." I particularly like her cover of "Desperado." I have yet to hear "The Girl in The Other Room." | |
| life span/failure rate of filter capacitors? I’d put money on your amp being fine until you want another brand/type.. @rickysnit , I am hoping you are right; I’d like this amp to outlast me. I did DM the OP of that thread, and he told me that Cary did get it serviceable and I am going to... | |
| life span/failure rate of filter capacitors? The point is, @rickysnit , the OP of that thread that got my attention did not have an amp in that kind of shape until he did. | |
| Dedicated Line - Things to consider @immatthewj , I wasn't attempting to single you out, apologies for that. I just look at this in a pretty linear way, electricity flowing downstream from the panel, even though that's not a true representation. I'm not an electrician, but have wor... | |
| life span/failure rate of filter capacitors? Yes, @rickysnit , all of this was based on me reading this thread. Since I do not know whether 21 year large electrolytic power caps are at risk of catastrophic failure, I thought I'd ask here where there is a population of users who mig... | |
| Dedicated Line - Things to consider It's just semantics, but a lot of these posts would be easier to read if they were worded a little differently. Most professionals don't think of wiring as originating at an outlet in a room and going to the electrical panel, quite the opposite. ... |
