| B&W 802 D2 Capacitors Worth Upgrading? @erik_squires lol, thanks and okay, sounds like it was a bad idea! You mentioned I might need to check the electrolytic capacitors in several years. Which caps are these, and how do I distinguish them from the film caps? How do I check them? ... | |
| Just received my B&W 802's: One tweeter doesn't work - HELP! @clearthinker , wow that is interesting considering I had my 803 D2’s for 8 years with no issue. Maybe they made an improvement in the the D2 generation? As I understand it, the 802, 803, and 800 all use the same tweeter in the D2 range. I very r... | |
| Just received my B&W 802's: One tweeter doesn't work - HELP! @clearthinker , after approximately how many years did your B&W tweeters fail? I’ve placed an order for three replacement tweeters. Very expensive but I reminded myself I’ve saved much, much more by buying a pair of used speakers instead of ... | |
| Just received my B&W 802's: One tweeter doesn't work - HELP! @larry5729 , on Monday (tomorrow) when they are back in the shop, they will check to see if they have a D2 series tweeter that they can send to me. Otherwise, they will have to order one for me from B&W. We'll see how it turns out. But yeah ... | |
| Just received my B&W 802's: One tweeter doesn't work - HELP! @sfstereo , found my multimeter. Forgot I had another toolbox. The faulty tweeter, as expected, shows an open load (infinite resistance). @audphile1 , the retailer has been very responsive even late last night, and has said they will try to figur... | |
| Just received my B&W 802's: One tweeter doesn't work - HELP! @sfstereo Good idea. Went to find my multimeter and it’s not in my toolbox! Will have to hunt for it. Haven’t used it for a year or so… | |
| Just received my B&W 802's: One tweeter doesn't work - HELP! One question, in my research I’ve found that in some cases where tweeters have failed, I’ve noted there are some cases where there is also crossover damage. The speakers work perfectly with the tweeter from my 803D2’s, but I thought it could be w... | |
| Just received my B&W 802's: One tweeter doesn't work - HELP! @audphile1 I think you must be right. After the store also suggested that I install a tweeter from my 803D2 into the failing 802D2, the 802D2’s now work perfectly and sound great! I tested the tweeter in my 803D2 and it still fails. The dead twe... | |
| Just received my B&W 802's: One tweeter doesn't work - HELP! Lol…. After doing a bit of research, I strongly suspect that the tweeters in my 803 D2’s are the same as in the 802 D2’s. I couldn’t find definitive proof because there is no tweeter listed on the B&W parts page that says it’s for the 802 D2. ... | |
| Just received my B&W 802's: One tweeter doesn't work - HELP! I should also mention, should it come to it, I am handy with a soldering iron.... I've heard you can order service parts from B&W for older models, but I expect it would take a long time as they'd likely need to make the part as a special ord... | |
| Innuos Network Isolation Switch and Reclocker (Phoenix) @timo62 , I found that with the stock power cord, the PhoenixNET did not seem to provide a significant benefit over not using the PhoenixNET at all. | |
| Innuos Network Isolation Switch and Reclocker (Phoenix) @mahughes The reviewer said it was two particular albums that sounded better on the reviewer’s hard drive, all others sounded better streamed. If you are interested: Innuos PhoenixNET Review Not to suggest that pro reviewers should be listened t... | |
| Innuos Network Isolation Switch and Reclocker (Phoenix) @mahughes, as mentioned above, my use-case is streaming with Tidal HiFi. Yes, I have some locally stored files that are in flac, but out of convenience my wider access to music is through streaming. Counterintuitively, streaming sounds better th... | |
| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? I recently purchased a PhoenixUSB. My first impression following breakin was that it was very good - more separation, soundstage, and focus. But I thought it might have need a tad “HiFi” sounding, but still better with than without. I then boug... | |
| Torus vs AudioQuest Niagara @mike_in_nc , thanks for the tip on the LED blocker! What were they thinking selecting a light with that brightness…. Minor and solvable detail though. |
