| Here to learn and more I’m using a 9505(modded), to run my woofers. Stock, they put out 375 WPC, into a 4 Ohm load. Page 2 of the manual states they don’t recommend trying to run less than an 8 Ohm load, when bridged. http://www.hafler.com/pdf/archive/MAN0587D_9303_9505... | |
| Component Placement With all the money spent on special racks, applications(chassis damping, etc), & various vibration isolation/elimination devices, to shield our amps and/or drain vibrations away from them, it seems totally counterproductive, to place them dire... | |
| Shipping out of country. PCs and interconnects are all I’ve ever been willing to ship to other countries. As jl35 mentioned, sometimes the buyer will balk at the price declaration/insurance, BUT- that’s on them. USPS has provided the only realistic pricing, with their Fla... | |
| SB Acoustics 12” SB34NRXL75-8 Please, forgive my lack of comprehension(Oldtimer's Disease strikes again). | |

| SB Acoustics 12” SB34NRXL75-8 You don't mention anything about a midrange or tweeter, without which, there's no need of a crossover and an unsatisfying result would be a given . Any advise, regarding cabinet sizes, compatible components and crossovers, can be gotten from th... | |
| Why so few speakers with Passive Radiators? Legend- With a little research, you’ll find that both a properly designed/implemented radiator, and the mass of air in a vent, act as resonators and reinforce the system's TUNED bass response. Below the tuning point, yes- cancellation occurs(and ... | |

| Why so few speakers with Passive Radiators? Systems utilizing passive radiators ARE, "vented" systems. The Thiele-Small parameters and calculations, are identical for both. Only the application(vent or radiator) of the results(mass of port air/size and weight of the radiator), varies. https... | |
| Wow! Vintage HiFi magazines. These guys offer reprints, of some of my favorite old rags(ie: Glass Audio, Speaker Builder, etc) http://www.audioxpress.com/tags/Glass-Audio | |
| Tube or Trasistor I’d like to have more info on the amps, as well. Input tubes(ie: phase splitter and driver) can make a major difference in your presentation. Especially, the thin, uninvolving presentation, that will result from tubes at the end of their lifespan.... | |
| A "primer" on soldering... Good article, George. I’ve always used small alligator clips, as heat-sinks, on the leads of whatever I’m soldering. Can’t hurt, to be safe. I also like using solders with low melting points, and silver content. My faves: https://www.parts-express... | |
| Recapping your amp A timing belt won’t degrade your engine’s performance, before it fails(completely). The point of my references was, that(electrolytic) capacitors do. Of course: to many, "...still working...", is good enough. Do you replace your racing tires, AFTE... | |
| Recapping your amp Aluminum electrolytics can even go bad(via dielectric polarization), given enough time, on the shelf and unused(http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.823.6133&rep=rep1&type=pdf). Of course, heat and cycling, also take th... | |
| Speaker boxes. To rebuild or not to rebuild @roxy54 - I would have mentioned that, but was trying to be kind(iow: +1). |
