| What happened here? Sorry OP that's NOT what the picture shows. There is an alloy under the copper splattered on the clear insulation on the left, it sure doesn't look like copper. It looks like a knock off like I said. Rhodium will stick to plastic. Copper will stic... | |
| Hmmmmm speaker cables Don't suppose there is any way to get it shorter OP? You can loose a LOT of bass driver control with runs that long from an amp.. Overshoot by direct coupling (no passive XO) really likes SHORTER cables.. If you think in terms of BASS alone.. Not ... | |
| What happened here? It looks like the copper is coming off the parent metal on the left and the rhodium clad is holding up on the SAME parent metal on the right. Brass, iron, nickel they electro plate it with what ever YOU’LL buy.. Just a cheap knock off, with a bad ... | |
| Flipping record causing series of loud pops I’m glad you checked and fixed it.. Micro Arcing. The valve unit has all kind of little antenna inside the case picking up the micro arcing in the ground circuit. Pretty easy to see how it could get noisy. I imaging it didn’t help with floor noise... | |
| Restored my dads R2R but no tape loop on integrated oldhvymec As usual you make little sense. The OP expressed interest in recording vinyl not remastering it.Period. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>... | |
| Flipping record causing series of loud pops No one is BULLYING the OP. If you read the GD post its the addition of commits like "You don't need to volume down" "I've never done it", " I have owned tube phono stages for decades an have never had any pops.". The OP ask why, and I offered a s... | |
| Flipping record causing series of loud pops I don’t get pops either. Analog volume controls require movement to stay clean. A C20 is the last true off on volume pot.. No movement it WILL get noisy. The mute buttons on Macs will last 75 years if they last a minute, same with a volume pot.. I... | |
| Why did you choose the components and speakers that are in your system? Good speakers. I like small planars and ribbons. I use VMPS RMx Elixirs and RM30s. 20+ year now. Ribbons in general sense the 70s Strathearns.. I never looked back.. I use round speakers for BASS that's it...I meet in the middle. I like SOME (not ... | |
| why did my record player slow down, speed up, then go back to normal? Well the flux capacitor has to charge up fella..Cap charge, my guess. Lose power connection.Every time or just once in a while or JUST one time?Regards | |
| Flipping record causing series of loud pops You can always tell the Rookies. You MUTE or Volume down. You know like it says in ANY older and a lot of new manuals. Try lifting a phono low MC cart with a 30-1 SUT and all valves. You’ll go broke replacing tweeters to woofers and usually the ph... | |
| Flipping record causing series of loud pops Yup, volume DOWN. I always do, she set's at ZERO while I tinker. No foul no harm...or NO POPs either. Static discharge? Wow.. must be VARY dry with synthetic apparel and rugs. ADD a little moisture to the air.Use a ground strap or touch a ground ... | |

| Fraud and scam, how many of you are victims? Sounds like you sent him money more than one time. It also sounds like cash or some other type of payment was used other than the normal channels. I accept checks, then I wait.. PayPal and other protection is fine. Outside of cash exchanges in a p... | |
| het part 2 YES. 50 years I been using silks.. works perfect..I leave the silks draped and usually just flip them back. If I want to show off I uncover and get a micro rag. Like I say 50+ years with Macs, tubes and HOT gear.. Never a problem.. We see 115 degr... | |
| Restored my dads R2R but no tape loop on integrated A tape loop is to monitor and correct a recording being MADE. A true tape loop unit will have tone control that can be applied to the loop or be switched out of the loop for play back.Direct head playback is not on a lot of RtRs, I have a unit tha... |
