| Quicksilver Contact Enhancer The key to NEVER having a short(with Qs or The Walker products) is the understanding of the term, "sparingly". If one applies the product to WHATEVER connection SPARINGLY, and isn't a total spastic when applying it: A short will never occur. As me... | |
| Random pop sounds in my system are scaring me Try tapping the driver and output tubes with a pencil. Sometimes a bad internal connection will cause the noises you are describing. If that doesn't narrow it down for you and the noise only occures in one channel: Swap all the tubes and see if it... | |
| High end Audio for ladies? Check this out Hey Ait- That's the view of a Dali Megaline from the front. Notice the ribbon array at the right of it's cabinet? The one on the right is a partial profile. The owner appears to be exercising a practice known as, "toe-in" in his placement. Here's ... | |
| Need to repair Hafler 9505 - Any suggestions? Call the phone number at the bottom of this page: (http://www.hafler.com/techsupport/index.asp?ID=5) Rockford build the amp, and they've still got some of the correct MOSFET pairs to repair it properly(They DID anyway). Mine lost a channel and the... | |
| Unequal shereo channel output ? Any piece of gear that is still cranking out music after thirty-something years will require service and $$, regardless of where it was purchased. Hopefully- It'll last you another thirty, should you continue to enjoy it that long. Happy listening! | |
| Unequal shereo channel output ? Given your 2205 contains some 45 transistors, 49 diodes/rectifiers and 8 integrated circuits: It would behoove you to find a qualified McIntosh service center, with the diagnostic equipment, documentation and familiarity to correctly repair the un... | |
| What is the proper way to dispose of old tubes? That's a really interesting sculpting, though it's Gluteus Maximuses(Maximi?) aren't exactly anatomically correct. Artistic license and all that, I suppose. Then again- I've never met the model, so how would I know? | |
| Unequal shereo channel output ? Good question re: all the inputs? If all ARE involved- Find some interstation noise on the tuner, switch the MX to "MONO" and if the output is still uneven: switch the L & R inputs to the amp as Timrhu suggested. If the channel with the lower ... | |
| Do speaker cables really matter? Some years back The esteemed reviewer Julian Hirsch did a test involving a number of speaker cables, and determined at the conclusion that, "Speaker cables make no difference". So much for deaf reviewers! There are many in here that will tell you,... | |
| What is the proper way to dispose of old tubes? Oregon- Sometimes LOVE has to get tough! If one can't have fun- What's the point in all this? Next time a tube toasts, I'll have you in mind and donate to the cause. Do donors get pics of the creation(s)? | |
| What is the proper way to dispose of old tubes? The filaments of most of our tubes only take 6 or 12 volts to illuminate. Way less than the 120 most strings require. Actually- Vacuum tubes would be safer on a tree. NOW- If you wanted plate voltage applied, THAT would be another story(and just m... | |
| What is the proper way to dispose of old tubes? Trelja- It wouldn't take much voltage to get the filaments lit. I'd like to see pictures of that(no doubt: every other AudioGoner would too)! Ya know- I never thought about that fact(women are from Venus). Is that why they're so acidic, er- acetic... | |
| What is the proper way to dispose of old tubes? Touche' Trelja- I stepped it in with the silica, silicon and silicone(sili of me). I suppose I've sniffed too many silca gel packs lately. I'll henceforth leave early morninig posting alone(and eat a "big enough breakfast" instead). Care to addres... | |
| What is the proper way to dispose of old tubes? Trelja- I DO(and did) know the difference between silicone and silica, as(again) is obvious by the fact that I correctly used the term "silica" correctly twice elsewhere in my post(as the meanest of intellects would have noticed- No points for you... | |
| What is the proper way to dispose of old tubes? What exactly did you, "take apart"? Like I said, I found nothing in your retort but the usual liberal obfuscation. And- So you continue(ad nauseum). |
