Advice Needed On Recapping Power Amp Timlub, thanks, I might take you on this offer one day - speaker world is foreign territory to me. As far as amps go, there is nothing wrong in experimenting, especially if you enjoy it and have guru friend. | |
Advice Needed On Recapping Power Amp Czarivey, there might be individuals who are capable of such Toyota modifications, but I place them in "exceptional talent" category. Friend of my coworker did not like how transmission in his car operated, so he designed and built his own. Certai... | |
Advice Needed On Recapping Power Amp Well, I guess that I'm a garage operator.... I have always made sure that my rectifiers would handle the currentI've been in garage operation when I was 16, building EL34 100W amplifiers with components I could find around including chassis made o... | |
Advice Needed On Recapping Power Amp It is switching power supply, but unregulated. All capacitors are inductive (even piece of straight wire is inductive), some less some more. Electrolytic caps are in "much more" category. ESI (Equivalent Series Inductance) can be calculated.Capa... | |
Advice Needed On Recapping Power Amp Timlub, Things that look simple not always are. There is no such thing as "Linear Power Supply", unless Linear means "Unregulated". In reality it is primitive unregulated switcher that operates at 120Hz and switches at max voltage. Current fro... | |
Advice Needed On Recapping Power Amp Going to higher capacitance means also higher inductance hence slower response to rapid current demand. It will also reduce ripple and that might not be a good thing, since very low ripple, especially when combined with low ESR means very high a... | |
Purpose Built & Sold Sound Absorption Drapes & Curtains? Drapes would not dampen frequencies that can easily pass thru them IMHO. Stand behind the drapes while playing music - all sound you hear won't be dampen. Most likely you need very heavy acoustic curtains to have any effect. | |
ALPS Motorized Volume Pot- Repair (VTL 5.5 Preamp) Arniespin, Does it always happen after exactly 2 minutes? Does volume on numeric display change? | |
ALPS Motorized Volume Pot- Repair (VTL 5.5 Preamp) I had the same problem with Benchmark DAC3 HGC. After half an hour of playing whole remote would stop working. I found that infrared receiving diode was poorly soldered barely making contact. I re-soldered it and it works fine. Try, when it st... | |
max length of toslink or coaxial digital cable without signal degradation? In general coax should be better. Toslink has slow transitions that can convert system noise into jitter but doesn't have reflections, doesn't make ground loops and is not sensitive to ambient electrical noise. All comes to jitter that converts to... | |
Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? +1 royj. With new Benchmark DAC3 + AHB2 combo, in the background I hear instruments that used to be just "sounds". Imaging is wonderful and dynamics/slam is beyond believe. People assume that highly resolving gear is less dynamic - completely f... | |
Truly transparent audio components or flavor of the month equipment Benchmark is absolutely amazing. I have DAC3 HGC and AHB2 amplifier. My first initial reaction, many years ago, when I bought Benchmark DAC1 was that it sounded too clean. I realized, that up to this point I was listening to music with added disto... | |
2 Channel audio room chair ideas I second Ekornes Stressless, very comfortable and long lasting. I have "Sunrise" identical to the one in the picture:https://tfe-120c.kxcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/stressless_sunrise_large-3.jpg | |
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable It is a little bit pessimistic picture. I try to stay optimistic.Pessimist: It is so bad it cannot be any worseOptimist: Yes, it can! Yes, it can! |
