| My new apartment has no 3 prong plugs with ground There will be two mains fuses, at the top of your electrical panel. Read the sizes on those, to determine how much amperage is available, per phase. Outlet boxes in older homes ARE NOT USUALLY grounded. Especially if the wiring is knob and tube. U... | |
| Need Help with Acoustat Model 4 speakers It could easily be that the capacitors need to be replaced. | |
| Heeeelp New used BAT Vxi3 - Hisssssssss Preamp and Phono tubes, because of the gains involved, should always be tested/certified, "Low Noise", "Preamp", "Platinum Grade", etc. Hiss(tube rush) may result otherwise. The other mentioned noises, during play or warm-up, are not normal and in... | |
| Some Thought on Cables and Tweaks Mr G: Here's one company that has/does ( http://www.analysisplusinc.com/ )( http://www.analysis-plus.com/design_whitepaper.html ) ( http://www.analysis-plus.com/design_main.html ) | |
| Another cheater plug thread ATTENTION- Anyone with Dynaco, ARC, McIntosh, Marantz or Conrad Johnson(tubed components), that lack a grounded power cord: Keeping/using that equipment is dangerous and not in your best interest. Send it to ME, IMMEDIATELY(I'm your friend and wil... | |
| longest feasible rca run A lot depends on the voltage/drive capability of the equipment at the source, and the sensitivity(output vs voltage in) of the driven end. Then there is the issue of noise sources(RFI/EMI) along the distance(the primary reason for the use of balan... | |
| Subwoofer Plug Bonded Dacron(http://www.foambymail.com/DACRON/polyester-fiberfill.html)(http://www.ebay.com/itm/27-Wide-Bonded-Dacron-Batting-SOLD-PER-YARD-/390104452113?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5ad4098c11)works great for damping ports. You can roll it... | |
| Risk using amp Wattage than speaker rating? Sounds more as though they were trying to produce low bass freqs, in a pro environment, with a 12" driver. Too much EQ, too small a driver, and(as Mr C intimated)exceeded it's X-Max. 12" make good mid-bass drivers, in pro applications. 30 Watts is... | |
| Fuses that matter. If one places the wrong fuse in the wrong location(too HIGH an amperage rating); it IS possible for the circuit to be destroyed, should a fault occur(a harder lesson learned). Care must be taken, to select the proper fuse for the application. It's... | |
| Fuses that matter. @Wig- KUDOS for not allowing the prevention of your experimentation/listening tests, by the daunting technological challenge of changing those fuses. =;^) | |
| Fuses that matter. With a 30 day, no risk, money-back guarantee; no one has an excuse not to try them. SR is obviously quite confident. | |
| Cap life span? Although Tantalum caps are considered, "electrolytic"; there is no liquid electrolyte(totally different construction) to dry out, or expand and blow out the vent. Two major reasons for electrolytic failure. Solid polymer(ie: PEDOT) electrolytics a... | |
| The Best Compliment You've Gotten On Your Rig? WOW- It's like we're THERE!(From a fellow live-music lover) | |
| Hafler DH-200 & Nakamichi PA-5 for bi-amping? Hopefully, the sensitivity(voltage in/power out)is matched, between the amps. The only way you'll know which sounds better(which amp for which driver) is to try it for yourself. Happy experimenting. | |
| Hafler DH500 vs Newer Integrated Amp/Class D? Before you make any comparisons: Your DH-500 is over 25 years old. Replacing the electrolytic power supply filter caps and the two electrolytic input(C1)caps(here with polypropylenes), will make a major difference in it's presentation. These simpl... |
