| Voltage conversion from 220V to 110V. Eldartford, I posted this question on "AA'. I thought it might be of some interest.http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/general/messages/382738.html | |
| NOS tubes for Sonic Frontiers Line 1 My quest for the Telefunken E188CC, I am not having much luck. Them puppies are expensive! I have found a new matched pair of E88CC 6922 gold pin diamond bottom late 60s. Question, are Telefunken tubes like the Siemens and Amperex tubes where the ... | |
| Help / Comments - New Construction - Sort of... Kirk if you are not going to use a damping material between the two sheets of rock I don't think it will make any difference if the rock is of two different thickness. I would probably just use two sheets of 5/8" and apply PL200 adhesive every 12"... | |
| Nak PA-5 is buzzing ??? Swampwalker is correct the massive power transformer in the PA-5 is in the center mounted directly behind the front panel. If you can not here the hum/buzz from your listening spot don't worry about it. I use to have a PA-5 in the late 80s-90s. It... | |

| NOS tubes for Sonic Frontiers Line 1 Lawrence, I like both the Siemens CCa and the Amperex PQ USA white label 7308 tubes. Both have their own sonic character. I have been switching them back and forth for weeks it seems. I do like the rich warm sound of the CCa on vocals. It is a tou... | |
| Tubes for Sonic Frontiers Line 1? Try Amperex PQ white label early 60s USA made 6922 or 7308 tubes. Also Siemens early 60s CCa.Here is some reading material,http://www.audioasylum.com/scripts/d.pl?audio/faq/joes-tubes.html#6DJ8http://www.hktubeaudio.homestead.com/files/6DJ8.html | |
| Help / Comments - New Construction - Sort of... I got a chance to go out and look at some new homes under constuction. In my earlier post I was mistaken, they are just nailing the sub floor to the "I" joists. Glued and shot down with a nail gun. "I" joists 16" on center. In regards to you perso... | |
| Hum in system from interconnects??? Just a thought, if I remember right the Kimber Hero is not a shielded cable, is that correct. Not a good idea to have those long cables hooked up only to the power amp and not connected to the preamp on the other end, I wouldn't push my luck with ... | |
| Help / Comments - New Construction - Sort of... 23/32" that is the thickness, nominal 3/4". Like a 2X4, if you measure it, it is not really a 2X4. The solid bridging in the sound room would be nice. What it will do, no matter where you are walking it will also transfer the load to the joists on... | |
| Help / Comments - New Construction - Sort of... 16" center to center. Do not let the builder talk you out of it. If you can go into one of the houses being built just go to the middle of one of the rooms. Bounce up and down just a little, you will know what I mean. Even heavy walking across the... | |
| Help / Comments - New Construction - Sort of... I personally would not want the floor joists on 19.2" centers. Pay the extra for 16" center. Basically you would be adding one "I joist" for every 8' run. 16" center is a lot better solid floor. Something does not add up with the 1/2" sheeting ove... | |
| Help / Comments - New Construction - Sort of... Audiofanki, they are called engineered I joists. The ones with the 2X4 on the top and bottom are the best. 18" centers, I would think more like 16" centers, hopefully not 19.2" centers. With these I joists the builder usually does not install any ... | |
| star grounding question... Yes, it is star grounded.Jim | |
| star grounding question... Talon4 65' #8 awg wire, that's kinda small wire for the distance. I am just guessing but the electrician installed 8-3 with/ground nmc, romex, for your sub panel feed. 2 hots, 1 neutral, and bare ground. The bare ground is terminated on the neutr... |
