| What happened to Exact Power DM -- first of all thanks ;-)Second, the only thing I have up my sleeve is lint! I don't work for Exactpower ;-)Third, Bob basically decided he wanted to make the unit more robust in terms of protecting it (and the equipment plugged into it) from ... | |
| What happened to Exact Power OK. I had a fun and productive meeting today w/ Bob Schluter, and was informed that he is ready to begin repairing EP-15A's, on a case by case basis after determining what will be required to fix your unit. He wants to review further details with ... | |
| Amp damping factor? In amps with output transformers, damping factor is limited by the magnetic hysteresis (lag) of the output transformers, to usually not more than 16. This includes all tube amps with output transformers, and certain ss amps with 'auto-formers' (li... | |
| PS Power Plant or Alan Maher PE's? Elvick, I don'tknow what UPS equipment you were using, though I certainly am aware they had (past tense;-) certain shortcomings with respect to AV systems. But times have changed. APC (and probably others) have entered the AV market with products ... | |
| PS Power Plant or Alan Maher PE's? Artemus, it's not a great situation you're in, but what can you do? ;-) You have an all solid state system, so in theory, it shouldn't hurt anything to leave it "always on"; all of it, unless it's drawing too much current at idle, but I bet it's r... | |
| Need super quiet exhaust fan Essentialaudio's details/tips are all good ones. You shouldn't need balancing dampers** unless you are exhausting more than one area, or have more than one return grill; in which case balance is achieved by adjusting the size(s) of the different i... | |
| PS Power Plant or Alan Maher PE's? Artemus_5, it sounds to me like the first thing you should install for your system's protection is an uninterruptable power supply http://www.apc.com/products/ before you worry about anything else.Fast cycling of (on/off) power can be very destruc... | |
| PS Power Plant or Alan Maher PE's? If anyone wants to privately throw rocks at me, just send me an email, I don't mind ;-)Elvick, if a pole transformer blows, it's more like a power outage (than a surge) and the main effect (if your system is actually playing something) is some lou... | |
| PS Power Plant or Alan Maher PE's? If you already have dedicated circuits, you are 80 -90% 'there'. Next, check your AC power at the wall with a cheap volt/ohm meter. If it stays between 120 VAC and 123 VAC throughout the day/evening, you really don't need a regenerator, and you de... | |
| Power regenerator or filter for DAC? It never hurts to install dedicated circuits (more bang for amplifiers, but . . ) IF the house (branch) circuits you are using are full of noise from other devices on those circuits (lights, appliances, A/C.) Otherwise not.Have you measured the AC... | |
| Need super quiet exhaust fan The quietest solution is to put the fan on the roof (one storey) or on an exterior side wall (if there are floors above you) and connect a duct to the equipment room ceiling.Regardless how you decide to do it, you also need to think about where th... | |
| Alignment tool for SME V + Shelter Well, I like baloney. Especially fried. So I guess that the rather large population of A'goners who have achieved better results using both the Wally and MintLP are just delusional? C'mon Dan. You know that's not what I meant, right? I'm confident... | |
| Alignment tool for SME V + Shelter Typical cutterhead angle is 1.5 deg. +/- depending on the lathe operator. I confirmed this with Stan Ricker, a well-known mastering engineer and lathe operator (Cardas Test Record.)The precise angle of the cantilever to the record surface is irrel... | |
| Alignment tool for SME V + Shelter Axel, here again is the link:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1140840022&openmine&Nsgarch&4&5&st0And in any case *SRA* is wrong also, since it should be then called *SCLRA* Stylus-Contact-Line-Rake-Angle, since... | |
| Covering silver wire for use as a speaker cable Ozzy, don't bother with the pipe foam; been there! It's a nicer color granted, but the split down one side makes it difficult to work with in this application. |
