| HELP-Maggie IIIa's are crackling at high frequency First, the ribbon, in Maggiespeak, is a 'fuse protector'.The OTHER thing about ribbons is to PROTECT them during shipment. IF you don't have them, Magnepan will sell you some 'ribbon protectors' for shipping. USE THEM. Ribbons are fairly delicate ... | |
| Looking for EZ way to do audio fr PC and IPOD How far does the confuser sit from the stereo?If more than a couple yards......I'd consider wireless streaming to an Apple TV or some such. Because of the powerful SMPS in the computer, I'd keep it well away from sensitive electronics from which I... | |
| Top resistors I've been waiting since this thread was revived for someone to suggest Abbie Hoffman as 'top resistor'. | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green I think it's the first 'Blues Breakers' album. John Mayall with Eric Clapton.I bought the CD in the early 80s as one of the first I bought. Album? Sounds like it was recorded in a garage. It has a real nice, rough finish that is authentic. Album d... | |
| Op-amp replacement for Unison Unico Thanks for packaging info in opamps.....I'd never even thought to check, thought Surface mount stuff makes sense.The are available in single channel, too, right?check the CMOY DIY pages for a big list of tested opamps and listening impressions. | |
| Op-amp replacement for Unison Unico If this is a 'dual' opamp....8 pin dip of standard configuration, there are dozens of opamps from which to choose. I built a headphone amp using OPA2134s.And yes, several 'models' of each can be produced. some have parameters optimized which won't... | |
| For all you Clapton fans.... How about the John Mayall 'Blues Breakers' album......mid 60's?WITH Eric Clapton in a pre-cream appearance. This was one of the 1st 3 CDs I bought. Sounds like it was recorded in a garage, but in a good sort of way. I can't think of Clapton as any... | |
| Woof Woof need a little help 'Don't overwhelm the music with the sub'....to a teen! Nice try.You could run the sub dead end from the 'b' speaker outputs but the mains will continue to run full-range. YOU adjust the darn thing since the youngster will doubtless crank it UP and... | |
| Is agency approval requred for all equipt I'll bet it costs a bundle to get a UL cert....or the equivalent from Canada or Europe.That alone should preclude some small production / boutique brands from getting such. I DO think it should be illegal to not serialize equipment thru a unique n... | |
| Use my ICs for guitar rig? I use Mogami balanced......from the studio gold line, if I remember right.6' length between CD and amp works like champ and better than either the throw away cable which came with the player or a selection of Blue Jeans/belden | |

| upgrading inductor It's all about tradeoffs and the original inductor.If the original inductor is aircore, and larger gauge wire, don't bother. IF the original inductor is iron core 16 or 18 ga in a fairly low sensitivity speaker, like my Magnepans, than you can get... | |

| "The Heat Pipes are coming"... The Heat Pipes are GS,cooler equipment has better reliability. Some transistors sound better warmer. Most notorious was the driver transistor for the now ancient Phase Linear 400 which simply didn't sound right until warmed. Your physics, however, about heat transfe... |
