| Mcintosh MC250 ( Does this look like some of the caps have been replaced)?? That big, blue Phillips should have been either a GE or Mallory, in a can. So- those and the 470uF caps: yep, new. The multi-section, GE, can cap, may be original. The white, film caps look original. The power output boards(mounted under the outpu... | |
| Ancient Ohms Those were mostly used for commercial installation(ie: movie theaters). They’re pretty efficient, so- don’t need much power, as you’ve undoubtedly noticed. As far as amps and, "appropriate": that only depends on your tastes. Given their rep for be... | |
| Music Lovers In The Indianapolis, IN Area? Met Mike, but- I’m better acquainted with Chris. Not really interested in running anything, as administrative skills have never been my forte. Since landing in this area(1990), the vast majority of my contacts, have been with musicians, music venu... | |
| Music Lovers In The Indianapolis, IN Area? Just wondering if anyone had tried the audio club thing, in this area. If not, whether it would be worth it. I'd like to see if I'm missing anything. | |
| This question is aimed to TRUE Elec Engineers, not fuse or wire directionality believers. Can’t say as I had. Then again, I’d expect whatever voltage was getting into the system, to follow the path of least resistance. Even with an inductor(as opposed to a cap), the woofer would be the first victim and(if playing music at the moment) t... | |
| This question is aimed to TRUE Elec Engineers, not fuse or wire directionality believers. "That’s because there is no need. I’ve got plenty of scopes but its academic." Sorry to say, that’s what I expected. Regarding, "Ask any speaker designer." I made my living, in Orlando/Winter Park, FL, repairing/reconing speakers, designing/buildi... | |
| 8 track CRUSHES CD,Vinyl and everything else!!! Do you ever feel like an 8-track tape, living in an iPod world? | |
| This question is aimed to TRUE Elec Engineers, not fuse or wire directionality believers. 1) "Finally, although it’s more of an academic point than one having practical significance, if a large DC voltage is suddenly applied to a capacitor, and a large current briefly flows corresponding to C(dv/dt), the nearly instantaneous change in ... | |
| What was the movie? Resembles the plot of my marriage, separation and divorce(only lacking a female character). | |
| What area or country do you live in ? Indianapolis, IN, here. It was 0(F), yesterday morning. This morning(0400R), it was 46(F). | |
| MQA is Legit! Placido was crowned, ’King of the Opera’, by Newsweek, in 1982. I vote PLACEBO be crowned, ’King of the Copout’, on these pages. | |
| MQA is Legit! "PLACEBO" has to be #1, among Audiogon’s Greatest Hits! "SNAKE OIL" is probably #2. | |
| Fuse upgrade from factory..... Upgraded fuses have generated a plethora of divergent responses, from those that HAVE ACTUALLY TRIED THEM, regarding their ways of affecting the performance of various components. Of those that HAVE ACTUALLY TRIED THEM(and responded to queries), s... | |
| ST 70 best sounding version? And I just let my TAS subscription expire, in November. I’d have enjoyed reading that review. | |
| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? Couldn’t agree more, when it comes to PTP wiring, over PCBs. I’ve been very happy with my Cary amps. Enjoyed a Rocket 88, for a short time. Now(the past ten years), a pair of SLM-100s. Easy and worth the effort to upgrade. Transformer quality is k... |
