| This question is aimed to TRUE Elec Engineers, not fuse or wire directionality believers. Same results, for a moment. BUT, now the tweeter’s blown(it literally/audibly, "popped"). Trying to read, across the tweeter’s terminals, wasn’t any more, "meaningful"(since I already knew DC voltage would pass), BUT- decidedly more EXPENSIVE! Exp... | |
| This question is aimed to TRUE Elec Engineers, not fuse or wire directionality believers. Interesting followup- I just tried the same experiment, but substituted a ClarityCap ESA, 33uF, 250V cap and got a constant 1.45VDC reading, with either polarity. | |
| This question is aimed to TRUE Elec Engineers, not fuse or wire directionality believers. Less than one minute ago, I concluded an experiment. In series, I connected a .1uF Jupiter, copper foil/paper/wax capacitor, a Quart, 8 Ohm tweeter and the negative, of my Fluke multimeter(set to 2 VDC). Touching the multimeter’s positive lead to ... | |
| This question is aimed to TRUE Elec Engineers, not fuse or wire directionality believers. Anyone, living under the delusion that the NON-POLARIZED FILTER CAPS, used to block low frequencies from tweeters, WON’T PASS DC, needs to try measuring the voltage of a battery in series with one. That’s assuming you own a multimeter(or voltmeter). | |
| Dahlquist DQ10 @dfp - If the woofer surrounds are rotted, contact Bill at Millersound, for expert service. Look them over, before cranking them up. Bad surrounds can result in trashed voice-coils, and a higher-Dollar repair. http://www.millersound.net/speake... | |
| What can anyone say about Quarter Wavelength transmission line enclosure design ? These ARE, by definition, "transmission lines" and have been found wonderful designs for bass reproduction, by the experienced and dedicated. http://diyaudioprojects.com/Technical/Papers/Non-resonant-Loudspeaker-Enclosure-Design.pdf Good stuff, re... | |
| What can anyone say about Quarter Wavelength transmission line enclosure design ? @millercarbon- Affirmative. Built three pair of those. Excellent, extended, authoritative, articulate and tuneful bass. The system did a good job of extending the dynamic range of the electrostatics too, relieving them of the longer excursions, de... | |
| What can anyone say about Quarter Wavelength transmission line enclosure design ? Fried, and his IMF(Irving M Fried) designs, got me interested in TLs. Man; that's been awhile(I'm dating myself). | |
| What can anyone say about Quarter Wavelength transmission line enclosure design ? I built a pair (in 1981), per Roger’s design, to go with a customer’s Acoustat Model IIIs. He wanted something that could match the speed and definition, of his electrostatics. They worked so well, powered by a Halfer DH-500 and crossed over via a... | |
| What can anyone say about Quarter Wavelength transmission line enclosure design ? That, Glass Audio and Audio Amateur, were my favorite rags(back in the day). Inspiring! | |
| BEST MALE VOCAL EVER WHAT, no love for Loudon Wainwright III? https://www.google.com/search?ei=JNM8XPzWO8-5ggeagp6wAg&q=loudon+wainwright+iii+dead+skunk&o... I suppose, none of you cared for Tiny Tim, either? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMbQsKJ64S0 CLASSIC... | |
| Best Tonearm Lifter? btw: I found placing a tiny O-ring, on the AT6006’s cylinder, to save my correct height, went a long way to simplify the adjustments. Holding it both vertically and horizontally, exactly where I wanted, while tightening the screw, was just too big... | |
| Best Tonearm Lifter? I bought my first Audio-Technica Safety Raiser(AT-6006 ) in 1980, for $19.98. It worked flawlessly, for over 30 years. Then, something apparently dried out and it began lifting more abruptly. I found two NOS/NIB pieces, on eBay, and bought both. W... | |
| What can anyone say about Quarter Wavelength transmission line enclosure design ? @millercarbon- Did you happen to find that design in the Speaker Builder Magazine articles(circa- early 1980’s), written by Roger Sanders? In them, he outlined building a 10", TL woofer system, closely matching your description, to compliment his(... | |
| What can anyone say about Quarter Wavelength transmission line enclosure design ? @erik_squires - Experimentation(a lot), back in the early Eighties and DSP, now. Wasn’t all that hard! |
