| speaker and seating position for magnepans I suppose, in light of all that, I know why the pyramid foam, on the wall behind the Maggies, works so well. I only have my own excellent results and the opinion of everyone that's heard my system lately(mostly pros of one stripe or another), to g... | |
| speaker and seating position for magnepans A perfectly square room is difficult, with regards to standing waves(peaks/nulls) and modal ringing. I've been stuck in an acoustic nightmare of a room, do to an expensive divorce, for the past 25 years. My 1.7i's are in a smallish room(12' W X ... | |
| Magnepan Owners I’ve always(with my SMGa, MMg, MG12qr and now- 1.7i Maggies) removed the input plate, replaced the stainless steel posts with WBT 5 ways, and while I’m in there, simply remove the tweeter’s hot wire, from the jumper and connect it to the input sid... | |
| Vacuum Tube Retailer Option Used to buy from Upscale, until he got too uppity. Been buying power tubes from these guys(http://tctubes.com/), for the past decade, with zero problems/much satisfaction and Brent Jesse also(no need to elaborate there). A while back, I had an oct... | |
| How Is MQA Fareing? Has the MQA format made any further inroads, since this discussion's last post? I've not heard it yet, as I'm waiting for updates regarding it's availability/industry acceptance/popularity. | |
| Hafler 9130 power amp Glad we could help, including your peace of mind(re: gain controls). HAPPY LISTENING(to both of you)! | |
| How to "mount" acoustic foam ? Using Auralex 2" Studiofoam and LENRDs in my listening room. Back wall, from the ceiling to one foot below my ear level. The room overloaded quickly, without the stuff, at my typical listening levels. I found latex construction adhesive, to ... | |
| Hafler 9130 power amp No- those would be gain/input level controls, without which you will get full input level(no attenuation), assuming the pots were simply bypassed. You should find wiring, from the input RCAs to the circuit board. One connection close to a 2.2uF ca... | |
| Hafler 9130 power amp You're welcome, hooznwif. Nice pics/details, mofi! | |
| Hafler 9130 power amp Remove the top plate and you’ll find the switch’s wiring has double-crimp disconnects. Possibly- a capacitor(.01uF), across two of the terminals, to minimize turn-on transients. Before removal, annotate the wiring and switch orientation(ie: LED on... | |
| Question .. I hear a loud pop through speakers every couple minutes when playing vinyl Tubes can make quite a variety of noises, in my experience. No mention was made, as to whether the pop might be in only one channel. If so- swap the ATA’s tubes, between channels and see if the pop follows suit. If it’s in both, yes- static could ... | |
| Hafler 9130 power amp What mofi said, if you're in Indiana. | |
| Modding Synergistic Research MPC to Galileo status Here’s one more testimonial, to the efficacy of Michael Spallone’s MPC upgrade. The turn-around was amazing: from the time he received my SR Tesla Apex(pre to main amps interconnects) MPC, to his delivery to UPS = 2days(that included a day of burn... | |
| AC Cables - Flexible and Small Gauge ? If you can locate a Zu Mother, it's an outstanding(and VERY flexible) PC. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/51dd8a95e4b0ff2f7c9874ae/t/56438a03e4b0b66656c31f7f/144726681... | |
| Here to learn and more Another option, if you want to actively bi-amp. I used(and modded) one for over two decades, without a problem and with great results. They can be hard to find though. Regnar(some of the original Dahlquist personnel) still does updates to them: ht... |
