| Dahlquist LP-1 Passive/Active crossover The WBT-0234s were what I installed to replace the cheesy, original RCAs in my DQLP-1: (http://www.wbt.de/index.php?id=73&backPID=73&tt_products=59) | |
| LAST record preservative "I also won't spend any time dicussing this"- OH? =8^) | |
| How two 6550 tubes compare For quite a few years, I had no problems affording NOS power tubes, from the 50's and 60's. I had been using eight Phillips ECG 6550s in my current Cary amps. About 4 years ago, when they got weak, I was looking for either more Phillips or some GE... | |
| Help Understanding Bi-Wiring... Try these for some insights/instruction:(http://www.soundstage.com/synergize/synergize031998.htm) (http://www.davidmannaudio.com/faq/faq3.html) | |
| LAST record preservative The first thing that occured to me was what Marty T posted. I've been using LAST since 1980, and never sensed a loss of anything but noise/grain(a parallel to Mofi's experience). My systems have always been very resolving, BTW. The creator of the ... | |
| What tubes for ST-70 I don't think you will be disappointed! =8^) | |
| Dahlquist LP-1 Passive/Active crossover Bbro- You'll have much cleaner sound if you find either(new) polypropylene or polystyrene caps for the hi pass filters. If you need impedence matching resistors: use Vishay bulk foil. I got mine from Michael Percy. WBT makes some really nice RCA j... | |
| Dahlquist LP-1 Passive/Active crossover I used a DQLP-1 between 1981(started with my Acoustat Model 3's), until 2005(with a wide variety of planars, mostly Maggies). I never found a more transparent unit(many mods over the years), until the TacT RCS 2.2X came along. If you don't have th... | |
| Blown fuse and its soldering to a PCB If you can't locate a pigtail type fuse: Find a plastic inline fuse holder, ie:(http://cgi.ebay.com/FUSEHOLDER-INLINE-FUSE-HOLDER-WITH-14Ga-WIRE_W0QQitemZ270366963842QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item270366963842&_trksid=p3286.c0.... | |
| What tubes for ST-70 If you purchase your output tubes from Kevin Deal: you'll never have to worry about getting "stuck", in ANY sense of the word. He's first class, all the way: (http://www.upscaleaudio.com/view_category.asp?cat=86) | |
| What tubes for ST-70 You WILL hear a difference by replacing the GZ34/5AR4 w/a Mullard 5AR4(unless there's already one in the unit). Any improvements in the power supply will be very audible. Sylvania and Phillips ECG 7199's are the two cleanest(least colored) brands ... | |
| Room EQ Sarcher30- Try one of the TacT Audio systems(with a MauiMods power supply). If you are not opposed to actively bi-amping: the RCS 2.2's are transparent enough not to lose a bit of ambience, timbre, soundstaging(width/depth) or image information, w... | |
| ruined a phillips screw, any inspired solution? Mofimadness - I said your suggestion, "May work", so- BITE ME! | |
| ruined a phillips screw, any inspired solution? If the screws are as tiny as most in the equipment we use(#4 or smaller): none of the extractors mentioned will do you any good. A hole large and deep enough to insert the tip of the extractor is required, and you won't have the material to drill ... | |
| Can NOS Capacitors be trusted? It's been over 12 years ago, but when I needed the multi-section cap for a Dynaco I was restoring, these guys had just gotten some fresh ones manufactured for them, to original specs: (http://www.tubesandmore.com/) I gave the(by then well modded) ... |
