| Can a speaker just die? Then again, if you simply had the spade in the 5-Way wrong, somehow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjYoNL4g5Vg | |
| DC meter on power amp btw: After you're well acquainted with the amp's presentation, listening to your favorite/most familiar, albums; get one of these and place it atop the power transformer. Let me know your reaction, if you do. ... | |
| DC meter on power amp One tube has over 10% more B+ than the other, accounting for the difference in balance. "Fixed Bias" mean... | |
| Can a speaker just die? If you are intrepid and the least bit mechanically inclined: you should be able to open the amp and tighten the 5 Way's mount nut. Many amp-output wire terminals (usually, "ring" type) are connected to a threaded post, on the amp's speaker ... | |
| DC meter on power amp Plate current for the 300B is typically around 60mA, but that can vary, depending on the tube (and/or amp) manufacturer’s recommendations. Please, provide more info, regarding the manufacturer and... | |
| DC meter on power amp You didn’t specify your amp’s manufacturer. If those meters are there, for you to determine bias settings: that typically indicates, you’re able to adjust them. Look for pots labeled, "BIAS" or, "B+", externally, on the amp. ... | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? That faceplate is anodized aluminum. There’s room for a massive meter, if you can do without the logo and own a Dremel (or access to a Bridgeport). Then too: LED meter kits are available, that offer ... | |
| Can an unused cable break in? @jea48 - That you were able to even hint at things, such as wave-particle duality, dielectric permittivity and a, "conductor" actually being a wave-guide, without being assailed (thus far) by the resident pseudoscientists, is fascinating. ... | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? "Learn"? About what ? How to use one's ears? What (and/or: how many) courses must one take, before you'd consider actually sitting down and listening to any pa... | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? "Do you think that’s all it is, driving a dummy load resistor? you have a lot to learn." No, but I do believe how any particular amp SOUNDS, is vastly more important than how it measures. But then, that's just my personal opinion. | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? Gotta wonder: how does the Odyssey Stratus Mono SOUND on a test bench? It's been my experience: dummy load resistors have a very limited frequency response. | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? The One Note, One Lyric Samba: Yada, Yada, Yada (ad nauseum). | |
| Sony's strange speaker cord I'm as guilty as anyone; taking the occasional shot, myself. But only at the obnoxious*, rather than someone interested in enlightenment. *NOT referring to anyone in this thread. Just in general. | |
| Sony's strange speaker cord There may (possibly) be some folks out there, just getting started and trying to improve their sound. Maybe even on a budget? Tips like the EQ thing are helpful, but: how many here knew how to correctly (?) refer to everything, when you ... | |
| Replacement capacitors exploding @mahlman- "With all the non-polar caps out there I have no idea why anyone would do this." Same here (makes no sense)! I’ve never... |
