| SDS or phono stage Use the TT's switch and watch voltage display on your powered-up SDS. You'll notice that the drive senses start-up voltage requirement and provides it, then reduces again(your, "specified power sequence"). Just a BTW; I always start the platter an... | |
| "Slam"--what is it, is it really accurate? Mr K- Like I said...... | |
| why do hi-end fuses keep blowing, while std don't? If both the standard and upgrade fuses were blowing, the tubes would be the first thing I would suspect and test. Since only the upgrades are going, and especially given that the tubes are new(not that new tubes don't/can't cause problems), I woul... | |
| why do hi-end fuses keep blowing, while std don't? Those two sentences seem to indicate total ignorance, from the manufacturer of any amp. Not surprising, from those with the hubris of McIntrash. Of course; that's just my own personal opinion, based on personal experience with both. | |
| Top resistors @ Sherod- The site wouldn't let me add this info: (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2055119.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xsylvania+vt231+vt-231&_nkw=sylvania+vt231+vt-231&_sacat=0&_from=R40) or(http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=syl... | |
| Taking Suggestions for New Speaker Cables OOPS! I should have said, "If you can stretch a bit for new ones, they're worth it." | |
| Taking Suggestions for New Speaker Cables Try the Analysis Plus Big Silver Oval. They perform way above their price point(IOW: they really get out of the way of the music and all it's nuances): (http://www.analysis-plus.com/prod_spkrcable.html) If you can find a used pair, they should be ... | |
| SDS or phono stage This is the LASER tach that I chose: (http://www.amazon.com/Industrial-Grade-5URH0-Contact-Tachometer/dp/B004ZRN7AE/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393294097&sr=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=5urh0+uni-t) There are many cheaper: (http://www.amazon.c... | |
| Top resistors @Sherod- If the NOS Sylvanias are the bottom-gettered, VT-231 type(from the 40's); they are already excellent tubes. Very natural and transparent, like the Tung-Sols. The biggest noticeable difference, would be in the sound stage depth. That would... | |
| SDS or phono stage Correct! The SDS converts wall AC into DC, then synthesizes AC, at whatever(user adjustable) frequency it takes to achieve 33 1/3 or 45 rpm. It also lowers the voltage, after platter start-up, to reduce motor noise. I like not having to change the... | |
| Cary SLI-80 capacitor problem questions A bad power supply filter cap would not cause one tube to flash or overload. A shorted coupling cap, or one that's leaking DC voltages, will. (http://www.geofex.com/ampdbug/coupling.htm) | |

| Online Audio / 30 Day Home Trials The Cable Company does subtract any rental fee from a purchase, should one keep the product. Most companies probably would. It's easy to understand a company, trying to recoup the costs of maintaining an inventory of items for people to audition, ... | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? I've used this stuff for decades, with great success: (http://www.emsclad.com/examples/emi-rfi-shielding.html), puchased here(page 14): (http://www.percyaudio.com/Catalog.pdf) Looks like production has stopped on it though. I guess I'll be using t... | |
