| Isolation for power line conditioner? I have been selling electronic test and measurement equipment for the better part of 15 years. I sell some of the worlds most sensitive, high dynamic range spectrum analyzers in the world with bandwidths from 10 Hz all the way up to millimeter wav... | |
| Upgrading Power Supply Caps While I agree with Sean that multiple filter caps result in a lower ESR. I do not share his affinity for Schottky bridge rectifiers. They will work but the expense/benefit ratio is very low. The jury is out on the benefits of Shottky diodes. Some ... | |
| Voltage conversion from 220V to 110V. Subaruguru,Pretty irresponsible considering that the current path from one hand and arm to another is through the heart. You could have litterally stopped someones heart. | |
| Now I Really Need a Power Conditioner? ? Whatever you decide on, by law, you must install a transfer switch that takes your home off the grid when using the generator. Back in the mid 1980's when Hurricane Gloria hit Long Island there was a case when a homeowner was using a generator wit... | |
| Pass Aleph 30 and 60 David,Wrong again. The Aleph 3 has a little more power at 4 ohms. There has been some component changes in the Aleph30 but the design is the same. Have a look at the schematics. There are no differences in topology. This is from the Aleph 30 manua... | |

| Pass Aleph 30 and 60 Elduende14,By the way Nelson Pass has set up another company called First Watt. He is marketing a number of lower power class A amplifiers designed for high sensitivity speakers. One of the amps the "Aleph X" is supposed to sound remarkable with h... | |
| Pass Aleph 30 and 60 David,You couldn't be furthur from the truth. Volksamp was a company set up by Nelson Pass. The reason Nelson started to remarket the Aleph 30 under the Pass Labs name and not the Volksamp name was that they were not selling as well without the Pa... | |
| Pass Aleph 30 and 60 The only real difference between the Aleph 30 and the Aleph 3 is that the Aleph 30 has balanced inputs to go along with the single ended RCA inputs and a rather conventional looking chassis. The aleph 60 is actually an Aleph 5 built as monoblocks ... | |

| Dealing with transformer hum Actually, the reason the transformers hum is because DC is getting on the primary of the transformer.Here is a little quote by the one and only Nelson Pass (my hero) :"If you are experiencing mechanical hum from yourtransformer, it is often caused... | |
| Test Equipment Nrchy,The best set of equipment to do this would be an audio sweep generator, audio spectrum analyzer and microphone. It's really a simple test to do with the right equipment. | |
| where to find info on DIY solid state electronics? Try http://www.diyaudio.com. They have an excellent solid state forum and a forum devoted to Pass Labs. I have DIYed a Pass Labs Aleph P v1.7 preamp and an Aleph 3. I am now gearing up to build a pair of Aleph 2's and eventually an Aleph X amp. On... | |
| Is the speaker impedance constant or variable? A speaker has a voice coil. Coils are inductive in nature. The impedance of an inductor can be calculated by the formula impedance=2pifL or 2 times pi times frequency times the inductance. If you notice from the equation: changing the frequency wi... | |
| Help, Strange Static Sound Recurring Is there a Ham Radio operator operating nearby? I had a bad ground going to my system one time and with power turned off I could hear some static and bearly make out a voice. The Ham was totally legal in his transmissions and wnet ut of his way to... |
