| How to Attach Spade 10 AWG Solid Copper If you're referring to crimping an area of a connector that acts as a strain relief, it has no bearing on the actual connection/conductivity. Different story, and understood! | |
| How to Attach Spade 10 AWG Solid Copper That's dealing with butt connectors. I suppose you use those in your DIY audio cables too? =8^) | |
| How to Attach Spade 10 AWG Solid Copper I've been soldering and crimping cables/connections for over forty years(30 yrs in business), and would REALLY like to know what could POSSIBLY be gained by crimping ANYTHING after soldering it. GEE- a hundred, really? | |
| How to Attach Spade 10 AWG Solid Copper I one crimps at all, it should be done first, to obtain the best/most metal to metal contact. Minimum solder between the actual conductors is preferable. Once soldered, a crimp is wasted effort. Obviously- solder is a conductor also, but none will... | |
| Problem with Tube? The 7199s are a thing of the distant pass. The 6SN7W tall bottles cost over $150 each. Light bulbs are somewhat cheaper, and they don't get intermittently noisy. They simply stop working(not even close). I've replaced the noisy 6SN7Ws with new one... | |
| Problem with Tube? Sometimes tubes will develop a bad internal connection that improves as the tube heats up. I've had some that would make that noise unitl I tapped them with a pencil. They never seemed to get much worse, and since they were my hardest to find tube... | |
| Made in Canada conundrum onhwy61- Obviously you are unconcious to the realities of the Canadian attitude toward America. You would do well to keep up with current(and past) events: (http://www.cbc.ca/news/viewpoint/vp_zolf/20060829.html)(http://www.filibustercartoons.com/... | |
| Made in Canada conundrum Canada? Oh yeah- Those unfriendly neighbors to the North! I'm certainly glad that my excellent BAT, TacT, Cary, Magnepan, Nestorovic, Hafler, Kimber, Silver Audio, Synergistic Research and Wireworld products were ALL manufactured down here. The VE... | |
| How to Attach Spade 10 AWG Solid Copper Solder with either WBT Silver or Wonder UltraClear solder. The Alpha-Core spades are a good suggestion. | |
| Questions about RCA 5751tubes "Better" is purely subjective, and system dependent. The RCA w/clips may very well sound strident/overly bright in a system that already has that tendency. It does provide the best sound staging of any 5751 type though. In general- many that like ... | |
| Amperex 7308 YES- Some that were manufactured in the US, under military contract, were labeled, "USN", "USN-CEP" or had a "JAN" designation. Still the exact same tube. There are three colors of label(white, green, orange) and each has a slightly different pres... | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? No need to apologize Mr E- There are also companies that manufacture outboard effects pedals, and guitar amps with options, that attempt to digitally simulate the sound of tubed gear. The vast majority of us still opt for tubed amps though. Nothin... | |
| I Just Don't Hear It - I wish I did PS: That was all BTW, and I won't be back, so- Relax!. | |
| I Just Don't Hear It - I wish I did I have to agree with everything 'N' said about varying aural acuity, and training with regard to "hearing differences". Then there's the other crap he's spouting. It takes MUCH more faith to accept evolution, as there is absolutely no scientific p... | |
| HELP: how to eliminate speaker HUM? The breaker for the outlet that the sub is plugged into may be on the other phase/rail in your main circuit breaker box, or the outlet could be wired out of code. Either of those could cause the hum also. If floating the ground doesn't work, check... |
