| 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... | |
| Hafler 220a That's correct Mofi- K for kit and A for assembled. I was the Hafler dealer in Winter Park, Florida, when they first got rolling. My customers always had me do the assembly, with my little tweeks added. I miss Dynaco & Hafler both. Of course- ... | |
| How to avoid being scammed? I've dealt with those in Asia, in the past. Always felt Western Union was the safest/easiest/fastest: ( http://www.westernunion.tw/en/location_search.php ) As you can see; they have a number of sites in Taiwan. The buyer would have no excuse not t... | |
| Laying it on the line Most garrulous! | |
| Magnepan Service HORRIBLE??? I'm not trying to be contentious(at all), but- I wouldn't expect FEDEX to be willing to pay for anything beyond the repair costs. If they do; consider yourself to have been MAJORLY blessed! |
