| Klipsch subwoofer when powered on producing 'boo' noises continuously after short use Did you get a hold of Klipsch and ask for a repair ticket? Did you register your product when you bought it? Some dealers sell a line of repaired factory returns just like yours may be if they decide to just swap it out. Make sure of what you bu... | |
| The easiest way to solder multi pin connector? https://www.parts-express.com/Desoldering-Pump-370-030 Heat, de-solder and suck the old solder off. I use a sharp round pick after I pull the solder off. I insert it and make sure the hole is de-burred. Clean the pins or wires with a little isop... | |
| Is DSP room correction worth it with a high end analog system? I guess I'm missing the point. Room correction is just that, room correction. It has nothing to do with the source. I run correction from 300hz and down. 300hz and up, is pure analog and a passive XO. I also run GRs servo sub system too. That is f... | |
| The Big Misconception About Electricity Well some peoples BUTTONS are pretty big. Guys like cindy are pretty good at pushing them too. . audio2design had a simular effect. One thing for sure we'll get the whole story from Master M, not the spin.. Guys like cindy and audio2design come an... | |
| When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you? nitrobob, I've bought ONE new car in my life. I see 3 homes vs cars and PUs in your list. I've know several mechanics that spent the same amount on tool truck purchases until the day they died. 100-500K in tools. Kinda like people that are addicte... | |
| Shipping Floor Standing Speakers to the US from Canada I think you need to go freight, and you need to deal with the freight side of their business. Fedex ground is not Fedex freight. Sometimes that's not clear to people.. Same deal with UPS. UPS Ground is not UPS Freight. I use to send drill parts t... | |
| Ok to substitute 12AX7 for 5751 tubes in CJ Amp? Excuse please, 12BZ7, not 12BH7, Though I use both. Cary and Mac use them both. I see the actual chart is a Gain of 70, that is a far cry from 19-20 on a 12AU7 for sure. Can't argue with the facts. BAD AudiogoN forum. LOL Thanks | |
| RCA Splitter to convert a single RCA output into two Looks like a fine piece of brass if your lucky. Y splitters and don't squeeze on the cheese. Spend 10.00. No you can't keep splitting the signal. I suppose you could split until it just quits working. Add 3-4 and see if it still works. I've never ... | |
| What say you? Some cables armor is 3.00 a foot. #12 stand/5n silver is over 5.00 a foot. 24 stand PTFE/OCC weave is over 5.00 a foot. Ribbon OCC/silver clad PTFE over 5.00 a foot. I'm at 18.00 a foot and I haven't added terminal ends or labor. I guess you work ... | |
| Apologies to TMR Audio Nothing wrong with making a mistake. Good to see an apology too. They do have a great reputation. I was a mechanic for 1000 years. The only people I ever talked to, were all fired up to begin with. I just had to touch it with a pin sometimes and ... | |
| Passive vs Active...Again! OP you mentioned you had a lot of art work. I guess it is hanging on the walls. Unless there are a lot of glass on the wall surfaces, you’ll be better off. I’ve seen more than one person with a tons of hanging things from the walls, and ceiling. ... | |
| When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you? The only thing I don't understand is the type of speaker people listen to. Why on earth would a speaker that sounded great when I was 30, sound worse at 67? That's just it for me, they don't. They still sound great, why keep looking. I know what c... | |
| Evaluating your speakers That's the SPL test, wait till he tells you about the endurance test. Same thing for 24 hours. The problem is the PD negotiator may not hold out the whole 24 hours. They might rush the joint, then the record will skip for sure. Again, party poop... | |
| SS Preamp with Tube Amps? Don't se it often. Why? I’m running a C45 and a Cary V12R just because I’m to lazy to hook up a tube preamp. My C2500 needed a channel repair so I just moved the cabling down and hooked up the analog HT unit.. It’s not a tube preamp. Funny part is most people can’t tell ... | |
| When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you? Small planars and ribbons. I made a choice 40+ years ago. I've never changed my preference. 70-80s I really liked Stratherans ribbons. I made 3 set of speakers to fund mine. I picked the drivers up from Brian Cheney at VMPS. 20 24" ribbons. I hav... |
