| Static electricity affecting sound reproduction. Please help!! +1 for, "Get a humidifier!" | |
| An excellent paper on routing cables to avoid interaction and noise injection. Was there something to read, in the original post? Didn’t show up, here. At any rate: if one considers the low voltages/currents we’re dealing with, as regards the typical system’s interconnects; the Inverse Square Law works nicely, wit... | |
| Do we really know what "Live" music sounds like? It’s been my experience, if one desires (generally) good (sometimes: excellent) venues (acoustically) and a live music experience, of diverse genres, without breaking their budget; doing an online search for local college campuses, with conce... | |
| Do we really know what "Live" music sounds like? A little something, of which most are unaware, regarding some of those, "...unamplified Classical concerts...", here: https://www.orchestra-innovation.org/osires | |
| line level crossover for subwoofer The people that brought us the venerated Dahlquist DQ-10, manufactured a crossover that did absolutely minimal damage, to one's high-pass signal. ie: https://sites.google.com/site/mpbarney/home/dahlquist-dq-lp1 The old (quite liter... | |
| Is it a semiconductor? The following is the treatise I meant to link, in my initial response (OOPS). https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/computer-science/silicon-dioxide-sio2 The other = Welcome to the Dept of Redundancy Dept (SHEESH)! | |
| Is it a semiconductor? More, regarding Quartz and electricity: https://www.explainthatstuff.com/piezoelectricity.html To me: the above (piezoelectric effect) more closely describes that resonator's function, from a VERY cursory read of your link. | |
| Is it a semiconductor? Quartz is used widely, in the semiconductor industry. ie: https://www.google.com/search?q=quartz+semiconductor&oq=quartz+semiconductor&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i512j0i22i30l8.6564j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Quartz is made ... | |
| Modern "Vintage" Sounding Preamps @musicfan2349 - Thought I was being pretty clear, but: the SP-11's signal path contains metalized, plastic film caps and wire-wound resistors, which (in my opinion) aren't, "vintage" parts. It does have some older-tech components, in the ... | |
| Modern "Vintage" Sounding Preamps @musicfan2349 Just my take: Though my response was how to obtain the sound signature in general; the OP already owns a CJ PF-1, loaded with wire-wound resistors and metalized plastic film capacitors, as is your SP11 (NOT a, "vintage" (... | |
| Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money? With ALL due respect: The cult of the Naysayer Doctrine, wants you to accept their revelations, by faith (ie: YOUR senses and mental faculties are worthless and deceitful). You MUST follow their precepts, or- be eternally DAMN... | |
| Are tubes psychological? ^^^ What he said, +1 ^^^ | |
| Modern "Vintage" Sounding Preamps Purchase most any tube preamp, and load it with NOS, British valves (Mullard, Brimar, Genelex/Gold Lion, etc), to get that vintage warmth. If that doesn't sufficiently warm your heart: replace the signal path resistors, with Carbon comp... | |
| Soldering Help @4krowme - You're welcome. I've encountered solders, whose flux chemistry made the finished product look, "dull". Flux removal brought out the shine. There are other, more compelling reasons for flux removal, than aesthetics... | |
| Soldering Help @desferous: Personally: I have never had a soldering iron turned up past what the solder manufacturer recommended. Nor: have a ever had the first problem with solder flowing nicely and quickly, whether on circuit board traces, point to... |
