| Help with Caps if you can Dave, if you don't have a schematic diagram, can you determine the value of the load resistor(s) that follows the coupling caps? . | |
| Help with Caps if you can Making a coupling cap smaller RAISES the filter point. It sounds to me as if that point MAY be too high already.Anyone know what the original value is?. | |
| Speaker Cable choice, Cardas, AQ, JPS or SR? I would expect the Mont Blanc and Volcano to sound about the same unless your speakers are quite insensitive or low impedance with the cables carrying lots of current. If the latter, I'd expect Volcano to sound better with its higher-net-gage mate... | |
| Idiotic Vertical Biamping Question The above discussions of bridging SS amps are pretty good, but to make a point--bridged amps are NOT 'high-current' amps. Only if an amp has a 4-Ohm rating that's double its 8-Ohm rating will it be able to drive FOUR times the power into 8 Ohms--a... | |
| Tube amplifiers that really drive MBL 101E's "He's driving them with the CJ Premier 11A's."How many?. | |
| "Wondercaps" upgrade for preamp... WonderCap was a trademark of J. Peter Moncrieff in the '80s for the polypropylene caps that Reliable Capacitor made for him. It's a term he no longer uses. His current caps are TRT DynamiCaps. I buy them from Michael Percy...http://www.percyaudio.... | |
| EL34 vs. KT66 output tubes WHICH '34? WHICH '66? I suspect there are more variations among brands WITHIN the tube type as between the 2 types."Male vocals in particular seem to really reach out much more..." means male vocals are more forward?. | |
| DVD-A question 1. Both of the DVD-A players I've owned allow you to preselect what the player will do to the disc. Even now mine just play without any television.2. If you preprogram the player, you don't get any of the menu music.3. DVD-As contain separate 2- a... | |
| I got my Gallo Ref3's today A good question to ask Gallo is if the tweeter-stepup transformer still has the 3 output leads on it, whether the switch is there or not.But as my predecessors have written, they do REQUIRE an extended break-in.. | |
| amplifier match for Eminent Technology Biamping uses 2 channels of amplification on 1 speaker. This is done most easily 'passively', in which one uses the 2 sets of frequency-divided input terminals on the speaker and drives each of those with a separate channel of amplification and sp... | |
| amplifier match for Eminent Technology Consider a B&K 200.7. That'll give you the extra channels needed to biampify the ETs, and then do that.I recently went from a Proceed BPA-3 (125x3 into 8; 250x3 into 4) to a B&K 125.7 for that very reason. Am now biamping my center-channel... | |
| Cable confusion Houndog1, buy AntiCables from Paul Speltz. From everything I've read, they're at least very good and will get you started LISTENING TO MUSIC...after all, that's what it's about, right? If you SEARCH A-goN, you'll find lots of good info.Months or y... | |
| Kimber vs Jensen coupling caps in Cary amps Henry, if Michael Percy sells it, that's where I buy it. http://www.percyaudio.com/Catalog.pdfHerman, I agree about the ASC 'propylenes in powersupplies. I've replaced the 2nd-pole caps in my ASL 805 DTs with 2 40uFs in parallel (instead of 2 270u... | |
| Kimber vs Jensen coupling caps in Cary amps Transl--which caps did you install? It reads that you installed Audio 1 caps in place of Jensens.And...you installed caps that are 'bright' and hope to use new tubes and interconnect cables as tone controls? If those caps are too bright after a we... | |
| Best 70+ Watt Tube amp If you're thinking of driving your 804s (or 803s or 802s, etc.) full-range, you'll want LOTS of power.1. Consider the ASL Hurricanes, highly affordable 200WP-chassis monoamps*. There are at least a couple pairs for sale here. I'd look for the vers... |
