| VPi HW 19 jr upgrade Mr SS- I'm at a loss as to what is meant by a, "one piece plinth". The HW19 plinth is the wooden bottom, to which the feet are attached, and they are all, "one piece". It's a simply thing to drill the Mk IV chassis for your tonearm, and, staying w... | |
| Ray Samuels F117 Nighthawk vs. PS Audio GCPH If you do go with the PS Audio; install a HI-FI Tuning Supreme fuse and use a Zu Audio Mother(or other heavy gauge/high quality) cord. You'll be very pleasantly surprised at the transformation. The units already contain fast recovery rectifiers,an... | |
| VPi HW 19 jr upgrade The Mk III or IV's steel and acrylic chassis, is a definite improvement, over the Jr's. You can buy a one piece, MK IV sub-chassis, from VPI for $300.00: (http://www.vpiindustries.com/static.php?page=HW-19) Add a SAMA for $400.00(or build your own... | |
| Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier? In 1981; I bought a Hafler DH500(kit), to power the woofers of my biamped system(I was a Hafler dealer, at the time). Gave it to my son, 15 years ago, when I bought a Hafler Trans*nova 9505, to replace it(same purpose). He recently sold it to anot... | |
| Upgrading Fuses Sounds like I was preaching to the choir. Happy listening! | |
| Upgrading Fuses Mr L- re: Maggies and fuses. It's not difficult(in the least), to remove the x-over of a Maggie and bypass the fuse holder completely, eliminating the extraneous connections. Simple as removing a wire from one side of the holder and soldering it t... | |
| vibration control Mr E- I am NOT the one with a TOTAL lack of COMPREHENSION. Try to FOCUS this time: There are quite a few things in audio that create audible effects(time smearing, loss of image specificity or ambience info, etc), that CANNOT BE MEASURED with the ... | |
| vibration control Mr E- I don't need an explanation. As I stated earlier: If you don't believe it, or can't hear it- enjoy your bliss! (Just for the sake of response though) There are quite a few things in audio that create audible effects(time smearing, loss of im... | |
| vibration control A couple decent treatises, on vibration and control, follow. If some don't believe in the effects of vibration on electronics, or can't hear the results: let them enjoy their, "bliss." (http://www.pandathumbaudio.com/vibration.htm) (http://www.gca... | |
| Hey Electricians - Please help Even though the breaker that the light's wiring is on, is different from the breaker your system's sockets are on; they may still be on the same phase of your incoming AC. That puts them in the same, "circuit." | |
| How do I know if seller is selling genuine cables? Correction; ( http://thecableco.com/ ) | |
| How do I know if seller is selling genuine cables? I've purchased cables here(verified authentic via serial number/dealer contact), without issue. Lately; I've been purchasing everything through The Cable Company(http://thecableco.com/), enjoying their, 'Frequent Flyer' discount and removing all r... | |
| Balanced Variable Attenuators Placette is available, in a balanced configuration, though it doubles the cost. I owned the SE version. VERY transparent! (http://www.placetteaudio.com/index.htm) I'd still own it, were it not for the acoustic nightmare of a listening room, with w... | |
| Passive and active biamp together Marco- The 48db/oct slope will result, because what is left, after the 24db/oct attenuation of the freqs(by the active X-over), is indeed, a SLOPE(the freqs are not completely eliminated). The passives continue that attenuation. Just as holding a ... | |
| Passive and active biamp together Eliminating the passive crossovers is as simple as wiring the drivers directly to their respective input terminals. Leaving them(X-overs) in place, wired, and actively biamping(if both were designed/adjusted for 350Hz & 24db/oct) would result ... |
