testing a crossover
@likkelgerry-    I do not envy you being so far from someone versed in electronic repair.       Here's hoping you are able to locate the issue and get it resolved, without having anything further go awry with your amp.        Unless the bi-amp con... 
testing a crossover
@fiesta75-     " I just don't want the OP to do anymore work on the boards before doing tests. It seems like he is doing rework in the middle of the tests and that could make some tests invalid. This could create more problems as I'm sure you know... 
testing a crossover
@fiesta75-   I don't see a post, from you, dated 6-16 @ 7:06pm, at all.     Nor anything vaguely explaining why nonpolarized caps behave like they do and are supposed to, when presented with DC, which was my ONLY intent and, as I've mentioned tw... 
Capacitor
@erik_squires-     'Man, I no longer have the time and energy to explain the basics, let alone the subtleties of even ordered crossovers. This crap is why I barely post here."          Things certainly have been getting silly, in these parts!   ... 
testing a crossover
@likkelgerry-  Apparently: I wasn’t clear enough, when answering the question you posted (on 6/22).     NOTHING in my answer has ANYTHING TO DO, with the problem you’ve experienced. (specifically why I stated, "just FYI/fun facts")     Any PROPE...

@likklegerry-    re: Your first post on this page: "Diode test on mid/high -OLwhen reversed is flashes 2.2xx,then goes to OLevery time i reverse leads it flashes something {2.2xx}not sure its voltage,it doesnt tell me that"      Only here to add... 
Need help valuing high-end power cables.
       +1, regarding the upgrades that Michael Spallone does, if a prospective buyer could be sold on that point and then willing to contact Michael.        That COULD make selling on the 'GoN easier; as he has a LOT of positive feedback and tes... 
Need help valuing high-end power cables.
     The best of your lot (the Hologram), was listed on US Audiomart, at $650 and took 57 days to sell (last year).      A Tesla T3, for $375, sold there in two days (this month).      A Tesla T2, for $260, took 146 (2015).      Good luck gettin... 
Need help valuing high-end power cables.
     Depending on how fast you want to sell them (or: how desperately); the guys at https://www.usedcable.com/contacts, also buy (obviously, or they couldn’t sell any).     Those are excellent cables and someone would get a great deal & soun... 
Chained speakers signal connected in series
 While you're listening through your pencils: you're going to simply ignore everything that a voice will induce to a signal, when actually presented with music?                                        HILARIOUS (in a tragicomedic way)!     Best b... 
Chained speakers signal connected in series
@fiesta-    I had posted, regarding how humorous that was, then thought about my own failings at being perfect (ALL the time) and deleted that line.(part of my typical typing/posting/editing method in here, as outlined elsewhere)      I'd also n... 
Is this my Imagination? Shunyata Hydra 6 Delta and some power cords transformed my system.
     Could anyone, after hearing what you have, actually convince you: YOU HAVEN'T?             YET: the naysayers* typically try, brazenly, relentlessly and incessantly.                                       KUDOS; for trusting your own senses!... 
Chained speakers signal connected in series
       btw, for clarity: What I listed above is all found in ONE, SGM 10B crossover network and the system’s two drivers. 
Chained speakers signal connected in series
      Regarding those voice coils, impedances and such:    http://education.lenardaudio.com/en/05_speakers_3.html      The chart shown: for an 8 Ohm (nominal) speaker                 Note the lower freq impedance dip.         
Chained speakers signal connected in series
     Personally: I don’t find the idea that an audio signal, after passing through a system* when fed into a subsequent and identical system, in series, might just sound a little different, the LEAST bit surprising.     They’re rated at 6 Ohms, ...
