| Speaker boxes. To rebuild or not to rebuild Measure the mounting surfaces, and contact these guys: https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/ They can provide drivers, crossovers and any components necessary(of various qualities/prices), to complete your system. | |
| Tube tester recommendation! Testers also require occasional recalibration, which will probably be necessary, if you buy one via eBay, craigslist, etc. Another option for having them tested, should you choose not to spring for a tester: http://tctubes.com/tube-testing-servic... | |
| Triggering mono blocks without trigger capability Good idea(easier than DIY), but- be certain your preamp’s 12V trigger, can provide a constant 100mA, if you go for the Niles. The alternative(if not) is a 12V/100mA (or better) , DC adapter(wall wart), that would plug into your preamp’s 125V swi... | |
| Triggering mono blocks without trigger capability Where there’s a will, there’s a way(though, perhaps, NOT the best for audio apps). If I wanted to trigger a power source, I’d find a 12V coiled relay, with whatever voltage/amperage-rated contacts needed and wire up a distribution box(outlets). Po... | |
| What solution to clean silver and gold contacts? BTW: Silver WILL form an oxide layer, as long as the, "ambient conditions" are below 195 degrees Celsius(almost twice boiling), and - the atmosphere contains Oxygen: https://study.com/academy/lesson/silver-oxide-formula-decomposition-formation.html | |
| What solution to clean silver and gold contacts? Unless you’re living in a Sulfur-rich environment(ie: around volcanoes/chicken coops/sewage treatment plants), you needn’t worry about sulfites forming in, "a matter of minutes"! https://www.powellind.com/sites/downloads/ProductAssets/01.4TB.080%2... | |
| What solution to clean silver and gold contacts? @dweller - My post was simply a quote, from the cited article(close to the end). Happy listening! | |
| What solution to clean silver and gold contacts? Tarn-X will cause pitting of the object's surface. These surface defects will act like a sponge and more readily absorb tarnish-producing gases and moisture. The object will eventually require professional polishing to restore the original finis... | |
| Amps will not hold bias. You mentioned, "83 mA", but- not how much drift and/or over what period on time. "Drastically" can be quite the subjective term. | |
| Shopping for Interconnects There’s a sort function, that will allow you to look at available used interconnects, $ to $$, here: https://www.usedcable.com/Catalog/Interconnect-Cables They've got some, starting at $19.00. | |
| Crossover 101 Nebie Dalquist DQ-10 Help If the caps of your DQ-10s are the originals and yellow, they are metalized Mylar and will still work well. There are numerous, more modern, film caps, that(if matched for values), will improve your sound quality, over these older Mylars. If the b... | |
| Dodd PreAmp batteries not charging You may try contacting this guy. It seems he’s got experience, regarding the batteries and chargers, that work in your pre: http://www.vinnierossi.com/redwineaudio/ Perhaps one of his, "Ultracapacitor" supplies can work in your application. Here’s... | |
| Help needed for a skeptic! @folkfreak - It's been my experience, that the prices they've listed online, aren't set in stone either. Then again: that may depend on one's contact within the company. YEAH- I'm glad they're competitive too! Happy listening! | |
| Crosley should be arrested for selling junk Why would you buy records(assuming you paid for them) from someone that OWNS a Crosley(or any other junk) turntable? How much interest could one expect them to possess, with regards to cleaning/care of their vinyls? | |
| Help needed for a skeptic! @folkfreak - My last purchase from the cable Company, was a NEW pair of Analysis Plus Big Silver Ovals, for which they knocked off 20%, plus what I spent on auditioning a used pair. Prior to that, a pair of perfect(as in immaculate), used Syner... |
