| How do I reduce gain on my preamp? Fordmod- For some very quiet, non-inductive resistors(IOW- transparent); click on, "Shinkoh Tantalum", "A-N Tantalum" or, "Vishay" at the bottom of this page:(http://www.partsconnexion.com/t/catalog/resistors.html) | |
| Why manufactures don´t burn in their amps and ... Most factors/dynamics(with the exception of speaker system drivers) that are involved in "burn-in" will also diminish with idle time, and require another burn-in period. If a manufacturer turned out 2000 amplifiers, and ran them the 200hrs, to the... | |
| 110V or 120V for Power Conditioner? You won't hurt anything by trying both, and listening to each for awhile. You might find your system somewhat more dynamic with the 120V setting. | |
| Scanspeak 10" driver replacement - blown woofer The companies I'm referring to test every driver for consistancy/tolerances, plus match the drivers for use as pairs. BTW: What you just posted as Bud's actions concerning the source and quality of his drivers confirms what I said of, "most higher... | |

| Scanspeak 10" driver replacement - blown woofer In prior communications; I've recommended to Mike that he contact Bill regarding his speakers.

Exactly what I said would happen if OEM(ie: Vandersteen) parts were not used in the repair. That do... | |
| Scanspeak 10" driver replacement - blown woofer Mike- Are you certain the voice coils are burned? Is there any sound from them with signal applied? If so- It's possible, with a sudden high input transient(ie: If a tonearm were dropped), for the voice coil to exceed it's linear range, bottom on ... | |
| Audio Research LS-7 LS7 upgrades suggestions Just for the general info pool: The four rectifier diodes are right next to the transformer and would take all of 20 minutes(if one were really challenged as far as dexterity) to change out, at a cost of less than $16.00(if IXYS soft recovery FRED... | |
| Scanspeak 10" driver replacement - blown woofer Any aftermarker speaker reconer(unless an authorized warranty station) will be using Waldom parts with which to affect the repair. Your speakers will never sound the same(or even close) if this course is taken. Unless you replace the driver(it's n... | |
| Dahlquist speakers Most of the opinions you'll get will be from those having listened to the Dahlquists almost 30 years ago, and playing with the equipment and cabling of that decade(obviously). Very doubtful that they can actually compare what they heard then with ... | |
| Audio Research LS-7 LS7 upgrades suggestions The easiest path is to install some NOS CCa's or, at least 7308/E188CC tubes. Depending on your taste in presentation, you might try Siemens/Telefunken(very transparent and extended in both directions, w/o bloat or glare), Mullard/Brimar(warm, "tu... |
