| Another Cable Burn-in Question Exactly as I stated earlier(voltage actually) Mr. Z, and absolutely correct! | |
| Another Cable Burn-in Question It's kind of comical: The originator of this thread stated that he'd resolved the issue, some 14 posts ago! =8^) | |
| Can a fuse affect sound quality in my Classe Amps Good plan!! Still- Before you install any expensive fuses: Be certain everything's Kosher, and the amps aren't blowing the cheapies. | |
| Crossover upgrade capacitor question BTW- Michael Percy will match his products to 1%(or closer) for you, which will keep your crossover points equal. Most high-end caps are manufactured with a(typically) 5% tolerance(or better) to start with. (http://www.percyaudio.com/Catalog.pdf) | |
| What is the best dielectric? Yes- A vacuum is the best. BUT- Containing vacuums and gases is tricky/expensive, and therefore not often practical (http://www.taralabs.com/images/31479_eprint.pdf). Some manufacturers create a foam of a plastic and air which does work well. Tefl... | |
| anyone compared the hydra vs aR6 vs magic stealth I own the Stealth XXX, and there is NO current limiting or voltage lag with the unit, RE: My two main monoblocks (tubed/110wpc) and woofer amp(SS/255wpc). I've been very satisfied with it's performance/the lack of background grunge resulting from ... | |
| Can a fuse affect sound quality in my Classe Amps BY ALL MEANS: Find out why the fuses blew. The subject have been discussed/debated a couple times before. There are those that have not tried the high grade fuses, but feel they MUST share their unfounded/untested opinions anyway. Ignore them. THE... | |
| Tweaks when building a listening room? If you are considering a dedicated circuit: Use(as least) two runs(keep 12" separation between the two) of 10-2 Romex(equiv of 4Ga), and(minimum) hospital grade outlets(ie:http://cgi.ebay.com/Leviton-Ivory-HOSPITAL-Receptacle-Outlet-20A-8300-I_W0Q... | |
| Burn in question and evaluation before burn in Exactly!! =8^) | |
| Experience with FREDs in a tube amp PS OH(BTW)- No soft-start. I can tell by what my lights do when I turn the amps on. | |
| Experience with FREDs in a tube amp PS Those Crees do really look interesting. A bridge of four TO-247's (1.2kV/10A) would take up a bit of space though. The 5A package(TO-220) is only slightly smaller, and I'd really like to have heatsinks on them. This is obviouly going to have to wa... | |
| Burn in question and evaluation before burn in Mr W- I've had passive and active components that went through 4 or 5 changes in presentation before reaching stabilization. Some sounded ridiculous at times. Be patient(at least 200 hrs) before listening critically, and deciding whether you like ... | |
| Burn in question and evaluation before burn in Right on the money Albert! And any good designer will voice his equipment with the presentation of the components AFTER stabilization in mind. Hopefully- transparency will be their goal. | |
| Experience with FREDs in a tube amp PS Transparency and dynamics are what I'm hoping for. I've got a pair of Cary SLM-100s that I'm thinking of tweaking slightly. The B+ right after the rectifier is 488V, and I was thinking of going with an IXYS 1200V bridge to handle turn on surge. I'... | |
| Another Cable Burn-in Question A passive component(in this case generally an attenuator) does not change it's impedance value when the equipment in which it's installed is turned either on or off. The CDP or DAC output will never see a "virtually open circuit". Just put an ohme... |
