| Burn in power cord by boiling water?? Cp.., Nice idea but not for burn-in...Actually if we freeze cables they will greatly improve conductance i.e. kind-a get close to super-conductance!So if we take ordinary wires and build freezers arround them we actually can get away cheaper than ... | |
| Preamp is an amplifier too, right??? Preamps depending on their circuit topology (and there are few ways to design an input driver) can produce an output power(especially ss-preamps). There are also SS-preamps(base- or gate- coupled output stages) that do increase voltage in very-sma... | |
| Run FM Tuner/Preamp to Pre-amp- Is this safe ? Sounds OK to me since you're placing a line-level signal onto the next preamp input anyway. No doubdt it's amplified but wouldn't be to an overload level if you don't crank the volume controll all-the-way open on the tuner-pre.It certainly won't i... | |
| Burn in power cord by boiling water?? I'd also suggest adding some salt, pepper, squash, potato quarters with or without shell, tomatoes squeezed or ready tomato sause, bruscelle cabage, beans, and when it's done add some optional parsley or dill, soy sause to brew nice audiophile-veg... | |
| The truth about interconnects - can you handle it? Taz,I've no doubdt as you do that cables might/or might not sound different...The main fact I realy care about is pricing of cables that realy don't show any of the engineering or scientific mechanizm and might even rich the cost of a good speaker... | |
| Be-wire or not be-wire Jmlab Electra 926? 926 luvs juice and greatly benefits from high power.I believe that be- amping will even be much better.If you do have one powerful amp, than I believe that be- wiring wouldn't make sence in most of the cases.I use a bare wire threaded through both... | |
| Ebay Tube Blues If you have a pot that adjusts a grid negative voltage, you should make it less- negative and than you'll be able to get larger bias voltage(current).If you don't have it displayed than you should probably open the pannel or let tech do the work f... | |
| Preamp is an amplifier too, right??? When I was studying electronics I was never introduced to such component as preamp. The whole section in electronics were dedicated to amplifiers and they are only realy different with output power. If preamplifier is basically an amplifier than i... | |
| What song says something about you? "Heavy Fuel" by Dire Straits especially the part with "worst hangover"...More personal is the one sung by Madleine Peyroux "I'm gonna sit right down and wright myself a letter"... | |
| Recommended loading for Benz Micro Glider L2 i like 10k-ish region of impedance for benz.if you don't have any array of resistances first open the box and see if someone already soldered load resistances and determine a value.you can order this array from partsconnexion.com(Caddock) that hav... | |
| Are there speakers after Stax? I'm the happy owner of SRM1/SR5 (SS) combo that realy tells simple truth that there is no such speaker as STAX. I can just only imagin what it could soud with the tube drive unit. | |
| Any electronics wizards? Tube problem with RM-9 from the first your half of your words i suggest replacing all coupling capacitors immediately! | |
| Is Audiophilia hereditary and or contagious? One of the most established and heaviest symptoms of audiophilia is when you pay $10k for the 10W SET.Another one is hearing a subsonic(like a lizard) and super-sonic freequencies under 25Hz and their location of a radiation. | |
| Is Audiophilia hereditary and or contagious? I appload to Clueless! | |
| The Fastest most musical amp Plinius SA100 speaks for itself. It doesn't need a super-preamp and you can mate it with McCormack TLC1 in passive mode or Adcom GFP750.It bests with heavy speakers such as JMLab, Verity and Avalons. |
