| Voltage Level at speaker terminals You are measuring AT the speaker terminals? Across the terminals for voltage and in series for current? What other troubleshooting did you try, or did you go right to the DVM? Is the loudness imbalance with all sources? or just phono? I'd use CD a... | |
| Rel R-505 work with a Pass Labs X350.5 It would seem that any magnepan speaker with a fuse and a seperate hipass / lopass crossover WILL be biamp able. Even if you must DIY. My panels, the 1.6 has a lo pass for the bass and hi pass for mid/tweet. So, even if their were only a single se... | |
| Rick Schultz`s new cable Is the patent a design patent.....or one with sustainable claims for a unique, proprietary material? | |
| Active/Passive Bass Correction Dilema It's the Overtones and Harmonics which provide directional cues. I doubt that with a single sub you'll be able to identify the direction from which the kick to the chest comes.And speaking of downmixing, my understanding is that frequencies below ... | |
| Mosfet mist? There is a fab within 25 miles of here with a capacity of 20,000 (!!) 6" wafers per week. At least. The class 100 area is almost 2 acres....no kidding. They make power devices, FREDS, IGBTs and who knows what else. I carried a pedometer with me fo... | |
| Hissing sound coming from tweeters Pre / Power amp impedance mismatch? | |
| Mosfet mist? Never ever worked test /probe. Did some Reliability (1000 hour burn in) on some tests I ran with induced leaks in a vacuum system, but NEVER probe. I think that would be some valuable information about some of the differences between MOSFET and Bi... | |
| Active/Passive Bass Correction Dilema I see an eviction and broken lease in your future.Don't multiple subs, properly placed, actually help the standing wave issue? Crossed over low enough, even a single sub, properly placed will simply disappear, unless you are in an authentically hu... | |
| Mosfet mist? point is, Woof, that some knowledge of how semiconductor devices is made would go a long way to help people understand what they are buying into. Toss in a dose of device physics and than you can talk.Talking about a particular tech having certain... | |
| Hissing sound coming from tweeters 89db snr @1 watt isn't high enough? I'd experiment with cable placement / orientation before changes which cost $$$.See if raising speaker cables off the floor or getting them away from the interconnects makes any change..... | |
| Anyone replaced Fuse with Circuit Breaker? And don't forget that their is another class of fuse which is VERY fast acting and used to protect delicate semiconductors in certain applications. Personally, I'll stick with fuses. Inexpensive, reliable and need no special attention. Breakers ma... | |
| Anyone replaced Fuse with Circuit Breaker? JUST like MOV devices in surge protectors, Circuit Breakers 'age' poorly and change with repeated cycling. Other articles testing really HUGE breakers say calibration is needed after a trip. Read the conclusions of the article I cited. Time lag ma... | |
| Reel to reel repair - is it worth it? At last springs THE Show in Newport Beach I saw several R2R based systems whic h sounded terrific.One of the system owners had access to 'master tape' level recordings. Too bad each pass thru the machine takes a little off the top. So, such system... | |
| XLR cable for basic beginner A 6 foot pair of Mogami Studio Gold will be well under budget. new. Find 'em at Guitar Center. | |
| Reel to reel repair - is it worth it? You have to ask several questions.How good was the unit originally? Was it at the Tandberg or Revox level? Does the fixit guy have any experience with R2R? Some, like my Tandberg are mechanical monsters. Three motor designs can be somewhat less co... |
