| Bi-amp question The best(most successful) way to passively bi-amp, is with two identical amps. No worries about gain matching, phase/time aberrations, etc., plus-you can try it vertically and horizontally. Both amps will still remain saddled with reproducing the ... | |
| How and when to check stylus condition. Here's a 21st Century answer: (http://www.jr.com/veho/pe/VEH_VMS001/) You should be able to position the 'scope, and view the front/sides of your stylus, without dismounting the cartridge(still the best way though). | |
| Can a variac be used to maintain constant voltage? I stand corrected! The power supply I used at home(test purposes), would only maintain, or maintain at at a reduced voltage. The veriac(Ohmite) I had on the job could up to double the voltages, presented to it(but still directly proportional to th... | |
| Can a variac be used to maintain constant voltage? Variacs are not specifically designed for audio applications, but rather for industrial, and general electronic testing. They operate very much like a large potentiometer, only- using inductance, rather than resistance, to divide voltage. Further-... | |
| How does one copy cassette tapes to computer? Hello Al- Mixcraft can use the stereo 1/8" mic input and(if needed) levels can be adjusted by navigating the computer's 'Recording Devices', 'Microphone Properties' and 'Levels' windows(re: Windows Vista). I've got Mixcraft on my laptop(no Line-In... | |
| How does one copy cassette tapes to computer? With this; you can input the casette deck's signal, via your computer's stereo mic input and a stereo 1/8" to dual RCA adapter. You can then save the files to a wide variety of formats, at various sample rates, of your choosing(ie: Hi-Rez MP3):(ht... | |
| New 12AX7s from Audio Research That could CONNOTE, "manufactured by Siemens." | |
| Dynaco MK III Monobloc They can be wired to run in triode mode, and will do 30W. In pentode mode, they are rated 60W @ <1% THD / 50W @ <.5% THD. You may be thinking of the MK II(actually rated as a 50W amp, but did 35W @ .5% THD. | |
| Dynaco MK III Monobloc I'd have to agree that $3K is high, for a pair of Dyna Mk III's. A really nice(operational and stock) pair, might bring around a grand on eBay. Matter of fact: (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dynaco-MKIII-tube-amplifiers-pair-sequential-serial-numbers-s-... | |
| Any Discwasher D4 users out there? JD- I've seen most of those recipes, over the past couple months. I'll bet you had a few anxious moments, dealing with 400 moldy albums. | |
| Any Discwasher D4 users out there? Hi JD- The new fluid is readily available(eBay, etc). I just can't bring myself to trust the chinese fluid, on my vinyl. | |
| Any Discwasher D4 users out there? I guess some just don't read posts in here. DO YOU use your VPI RCM before EVERY PLAY? I'm not going to either! I've got three original NOS Discwasher brushes. To my knowledge; no one else has improved on their system of slightly wetting the recor... | |
| Any Discwasher D4 users out there? I've got a VPI RCM, THANK YOU! I still like to clean my records, before I play them(IF that's alright with YOU). | |
| Volume Pot Upgraqde I've got a 50k Ohm stereo Noble(AP25), that I'm not using. Can a 1 1/8" H X 1 1/8" W X 1 1/4" D pot fit your application? FREE, to a good home. | |
| Can magnet placed beside cartridge damage a coil? Sounds like a good dealer(to avoid)! |
