| Large listening room no only is the room size important, but the number of doorways, or openings that open into other areas can have a main factor. Secondly the type of walls you have will make a difference. If you have drywall, celoltex under the drywall helps. I bou... | |
| Help choosing coupling caps A few other posters are correct. A couple of Teflon caps are nice, since the provide better resolution. Too many though, and your midrange gets sucked out, with nothing but a super detailed upper end. I have tried them on all bypass caps, and they... | |
| Turntable selection advise Robert, be sure you check out KABUSA dot com. they offer all kind of real technics TT upgrades. The two I would pop for are the cardas arm re-wire and the dampening trough. All the best;John (up in Lake County) | |
| Preamplifier power supply Chris, that is a question many have asked. A larger transformer and power supply has helped every pre amp I have ever tried it on from the Japanese mfgrs all the way up to the high end gear from Jeff Rowland, Threshold and Mark Levinson. A nice 60... | |
| help guide a vinyl newbie Sidssp is correct. You may end up spending $$$ but get nothing out of it. I would see if the denon arm could be re wired with Cardas, then focus on a nice phono stage. | |
| Where to find 'good sounding' resistors? Use Vishay bulk foil. Go to vishay dot com and search for bulk foil. | |
| Two conductor shielded chassis wire Canare and MOgami both make similar wires that are intended for chassis use. I believe Cardas may as well. J | |
| 200-amp Breaker Panel Question Fmpnd, sounds like you are doing the right thing. The only thing I would change is the 30 amp breakers. 10 Ga wire is correct for 30 amps, but that is a lot of power required to trigger that 30 amp breaker. Your amp could be on fire, and pulling ... | |
| Amp for Maggies The Parasound JC-1s would offer plenty of current. | |
| Technics 1200MKII or1210M5G? M5G worth it? and don't forget to buy the cardas headshell leads. Those make a big improvement too. | |
| Adcom GFA-545 - Modify or Move On? The blue caps don't need to be replaced. those are the ones you want to bypass with the film caps. 63V suggests that the rail voltage is around 50 VDC, so any 100 Volt rated film adn foil cap should work. | |
| phono cartridge questions I agree with Raul, The shures in general benefit from much lower TOTAL capacitance than advertised. My phono cables are 125pf per foot, so I removed the OEM loading cap and use just the capacitance in the cables. Also check you loading resistor. t... | |
| Anyone using BillyBags for a TT stand? get rid of the particle board shelving on any of these stands and for the TT position, get a piece of granite cut, which will sound much better than the MDF. | |
| burning in capacitors for phono stages Yes, Bob has a good point, The main thing you want to do is get some time on the new caps, before you install them if your wish is to avoid in system break in. | |
| Hafler DH200 updates.. search through the archives and you should find plenty on this. There are numerous upgrades that can be done to the DH 200 and 220. Also search the web for Halfer upgrades, since there are several who offer these services on the web. |
