| cassette tape to cd You rather blew by some of the questions that have been asked but I'll throw out the following.The Dell Dimension 1100 is an entry level PC and I believe the soundcard is integrated into the motherboard. The line level analog input of the card cou... | |
| QUESTION ON LP Sounds like you have an old 78 RPM record. You'll need a turntable that includes a 78 RPM speed (that was typically included on most consumer turntables from the 60's and before, and was still quite common into the 1970s.)For best tracking, you'll... | |
| cassette tape to cd Still not too sure about your setup. Is the "line out" of the cassette deck connected to the "line in" of the sound card? Is it the same make and model of cassette deck you use to play the cassette for listening as you use for recording? (For exam... | |
| cassette tape to cd You need to describe your equipment setup and software/settings that you're using for the transfer. That makes a lot of difference in the resulting quality. It is impossible to offer anything more than the most generic of suggestions without addit... | |
| What are the functions of the 5z4 and 0d3 tubes. The 5Z4 will handle a plate voltage up to 400 volts while the tube charts I looked at indicated the OD3 only goes to 150 volts. I'm not familiar with the BEZ preamp but it sounds like it has two different high voltage requirements which are handle... | |
| what are the thoughts of stand alone super tweeter Tgb said: "what you say is true only for those supertweeters that extend down into the music range."Earlier you've stated that a supertweeter shouldn't have any output below 15 KHz. Let's grant that for a moment just for the sake of argument: it i... | |
| Usd 4k speaker recommendation pls The Spendor S3/5 is a nice speaker, but it is at the lower end of their range (and it is not a duplicate of the BBC LS3/5a.)I've got a pair of SP3/1Ps and a pair of SP1/2Es. While the 3/1s are very nice speakers and one can easily spot the family ... | |
| Usd 4k speaker recommendation pls Both Spendor and Harbeth have strong followings among those who listen to a lot of vocal and acoustic music. I have the Spendor SP1/2E and I simply love its naturalness and ease with well recorded material. The only problem is that you will spend ... | |
| Impdence Question ...Do not connect speakers in series...Point taken, but this is a "pick your poison" issue. I'd take possibly making my bass quality a bit worse off as opposed to burning out an amp. You will recall that our original poster stated that "only a cer... | |
| Times when there is too much LFE... Just classic Hollywood. If some is good, then more must be better. That same attitude permeates a lot of pop & rock music these days. Not only is the bass often out of proportion, but the high compression levels suck all the dynamics and life ... | |
| What is the proper way to dispose of old tubes? For barium info see:http://www.epa.gov/ogwdw000/contaminants/dw_contamfs/barium.htmlThe official disposal of barium containing vacuum tubes would be similar to the handling for cathode ray tubes (CRTs). CRTs can contain quite a bit of lead (from s... | |
| Impdence Question It completely depends on the amplifier involved. Some amps do well with low impedance loads, others don't.Among the amps that don't do well with low impedance loads the results can vary from distortion or the protection circuit engaging all the wa... | |
| What is the proper way to dispose of old tubes? Most tubes are primarily constructed of ordinary metal parts in a vacuum inside a glass bulb. However, most tubes also have a "getter" to absorb any stray air molecules that get in the tube. This is generally made out of barium which is toxic. (It... | |
| what are the thoughts of stand alone super tweeter ...without frequencies above 15k Hz.That is not what I said. I said without frequencies above 20KHz from a CD (actually 22,050 Hz from the Nyquist theorem but there is only 1/10th an octave difference between 20K & 22K.) Arbitrarily decreasing... | |
| what are the thoughts of stand alone super tweeter As noted previously, Murata is rather vague about the internals of their device. If there is no electrical crossover then the cutoff is being handled by the inherent mechanical parameters of the tweeter. There will still almost certainly be output... |
