| Replacement capacitors exploding Generally speaking: a cap will be used to roll off a woofer at a steeper rate (ie: 12dB/oct), going to ground, between a series connected inductor and the woofer. I’d say you’re clipping your monitor amps, but- that usually will take out t... | |
| Where is Cary Audio? I've had a pair of Cary SLM-100 amps, in my system, since the late 90's. WBT RCAs and 5 ways, HEXFREDs, Vishay metal film resistors (all that- very early on), Duelund cast PIO/Cu coupling caps, Clarity Cap CSAs in B+ circuit and, of course, e... | |
| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt @bpoletti - The DH-110 is a preamp. | |
| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt @bpoletti / @nitrobob - The later DH-500/DH-220 driver boards had polypropylene caps, from C1, throughout (same board in both, btw). Hafler offered upgrade kits that contained all those caps (Sprague Orange Drops), of which I still ha... | |
| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt What @atmasphere said, +1. I would add: there have also been major improvements in the materials and manufacturing of rectifiers, resistors and capacitors, since the late Eighties. | |
| Best 12AU7 Tubes for BHK Preamp? The following link will bring up a plethora of facts and opinions; regarding the various iterations of and replacements for the 12AU7. I've found this tube monger, one of the most honest, dependable and knowledgeable, in my experience:... | |
| Audio Additives Stylus Force Gauge inconstantcy @derainer- I said, "IF" (iow: hypothetical). That it exists/existed indicates SOMEONE owned one. Apparently: at some point you assigned a price(s), or- these articles would not have made mention of it: (https://passionatedj.com/u... | |
| Need DCX2496 Presets for Emerald Physics CS2 @lsoasey- You've got mail (hopefully). | |
| Need DCX2496 Presets for Emerald Physics CS2 Did the miniDSP come with parametric EQ and Digital Room Correction apps/plugins installed? I believe the buddy paid extra, for those. Also: what mic are you using? If it's not calibrated and the calibrations loaded into the proces... | |
| Need DCX2496 Presets for Emerald Physics CS2 Better to eliminate the peaks, than to try and bring up the nulls, when it comes to room response. Also: be careful when attempting to boost the system's lowest freqs. It's easy to use up a lot of power and end up clipping your output... | |
| So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again... If ignorance is bliss, those unfamiliar with the nature of science must be experiencing Nirvana. They simply CAN’T grasp, there there exists more than one THEORY, concerning electricity and that THEORIES don’t prove anything. Try a little update... | |
| Ideas for amp to run woofers on a bi-amp system. Older, high current, very stable into low impedances, and sounds like the real thing (fast and highly controlled Bass reproduction/excellent square-wave response), describes the first (and subsequent) Hafler TransNova amps. ie: (https://www.hafl... | |
| Need DCX2496 Presets for Emerald Physics CS2 I could/should have mentioned: some Room Correction programs offer preset response curves, from which to choose, to suit individual tastes, rooms, and systems. It's VERY seldom, that a flat room response sounds right, when trying to repr... | |
| Need DCX2496 Presets for Emerald Physics CS2 @lsoasey- Yes: the friend found there to be a learning curve. No big hurdles, though. He's a High School Teacher and Professional Photographer, so: lots of savvy, far as the computer. ... | |
| Need DCX2496 Presets for Emerald Physics CS2 @lsoasey- One of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/353286839125?hash=item5241895b55:g:xlsAAOSwiVRfuQdB BUT- there are many more 12V, low noise, LPS units available, at virtually any price point. ie: https://www.ebay.com/b/12v-Line... |
