| how do you tame digititus in a transport? While you may think that your cabling may not be bright, it "might" be bright with that specific transport. In effect, the Transport is responding to the load that it sees and it obviously doesn't like the load too much. As such, the cheapest / ea... | |
| Tracking Force - Where to set it? Exactly which V15 are you using ? Your post does not make this clear. I ask this as some of the earlier V15's are known to produce non-linear distortions as amplitude increases. If what you are experiencing is not a volume related issue, i would t... | |
| Ever perform a preamp bypass comparision test? Zaikesman: I have done exactly as you stated. Sorry if i did not make that clear. I ran the fixed outputs from the DAC into the preamp and then fed that into the amp. I then switched over to the variable outputs of the DAC which directly drove the... | |
| Tracking Force - Where to set it? If i can remember correctly, you have to adjust tracking force appr 1 gram higher than normal to compensate for the brush. As such, you would have to adjust the arm for 2.5 grams to achieve an actual tracking force of 1.5 grams. Sean> | |
| Taming/Damping Electrostat Backwave I have thought of building a large sealed cabinet onto the back of a set of E-stat's or Planars just to see what it would do. While i think that the backwave contributes to the "space" and "air" that you can get out of a set of these speakers, i a... | |
| Ever perform a preamp bypass comparision test? Zaikesman: I have a DAC with dual outputs i.e. one that is line level and one that is fed via a stepped attenuator with the capability of 4 volts of output. I have tried listening with the stepped attenuator feeding the amp directly and with the l... | |
| Power Conditioners: Myth, Magic, or Necessary There are a LOT of variables in such a situation:1) Some equipment is less susceptible to changes in AC delivery due to design and parts used. For instance, a unit that has an iron core ( rather than toroidal ) transformer "should" offer "blacker ... | |
| OT: Windows XP Update Service Pack 1 Aboldor, thanks for the response. Someone on AA also suggested that installing the service pack simply set my computer back to "default" and / or changed other programs in the way that i had them configured. As such, i guess that Microshaft should... | |
| OT: Windows XP Update Service Pack 1 After posting the above, i followed my own links to see if they came up okay. As such, i ran my computer through the same tests that i had done earlier today. Here is a copy of what i posted in the same thread on AA:Just for laughs, i just went to... | |
| OT: Windows XP Update Service Pack 1 Tok20000: I've been checking my download speeds via the test provided at Toast.net on a somewhat regular basis since i hooked up my "super connection" ( cable modem ) two weeks ago. I've been averaging appr 1150K and was able to peak at 1650K on s... | |
| How do you clean your records? I would suggest picking up the "Disc Doctor" record brush and cleaning solution and then follow that with a good distilled water rinse. This will get you most of the way there and not do any damage over the long haul. Don't overlook keeping the st... | |
| WHat about four speakers....... Mythtrip, it sounds as if you and Dr Amar G. Bose have visited the same concert halls : )Honestly though, his published theory as to how he came up with the design for the original Bose 901's is very similar to some of what you stated above. The m... | |
| OT: Windows XP Update Service Pack 1 Jeff, my download took a matter of seconds due to a phenomenally fast connection. It was the rest of the installation that took the time on my end. As i mentioned, i had no problems after deleting and trying to do a re-install later in the day. I ... | |
| Re-wired to 30 amps? Glad to see that others share my experiences. If some of you folks remember back to when we first started discussing dedicated lines on this forum, i was recommending 8 gauge for 20 amp circuits. I still think "heavier is better" but most folks th... | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 I would think that two weeks would be good. This would allow people another paycheck to come up with the cash and a week for transit in the mail.I would only suggest to Albert that he come up with some type of a plan on how to ship to the end user... |
