| Monarchy SM-70 Pro won't power up If Beavis' suggestions above don't solve the problem, contact CC Poon over at Monarchy. He can refer you to someone locally ( if qualified ) or make arrangements to have you ship the unit back to him for repair. As a side note, i am REALLY surpris... | |
| Input requested Mprime: If you are running Goertz speaker cables without the Zobel networks, you ARE going to damage your amp ( if you already haven't ). This is especially true with Threshold / Forte' amps. Having said that, the Forte's with Goertz MI-2's are a ... | |
| Who makes a "true" Transmission Line speaker?... There are many different types of designs that fall under the category of "transmission line". Some offer a consistent size "tunnel" from start to finish, some are tapered, some are flared, front or rear loaded, etc... Each has their own benefits ... | |
| Ported, Sealed or Transmission Line Too many variables to sum up all of the different design attributes in even several very detailed posts. As such, you really do need to dig into the subject in order to have a better understanding of what is really going on. Take a look at this bo... | |
| resonance and sealed enclosures El: I don't have a lot of personal experience with this type of design as compared to others that i've discussed, which for the record, is called an Aperiodic or "Vario-Vent" by some. From what i have heard, experienced and read about these design... | |
| resonance and sealed enclosures This has to do with port velocity and turbulence within and / or near the port entrance and exits. Using a port that has radiused flares tends to reduce these problems quite a bit. This allows the port to maintain more consistent tuning / proper o... | |
| Why does the Marantz 10B Tuner sound so amazing ??? The guy that calibrates all of my test equipment recently purchased a 10B that was in very good shape. After going through and aligning it, he was utterly amazed at the sound quality. He directly compared it to a few well respected tuners head to ... | |
| Alternatives to Stoplight Pen RIP While i've not had any positive experiences using markers on CD edges, someone posted here or at AA about a specific Cyan coloured marker working best. This has to do with the specific wavelength of light emitted by the laser and the amount of abs... | |

| Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas Doug: I've commented on the "beading up vs surface penetration" area of this discussion in threads where Brian did respond. As far as i know, neither he nor anyone else has refuted the comments that i've made about a lack of penetration below the ... | |

| Homemade amp switcher You're making and breaking the AC connection. You could do this by flipping the switch on each component or by pulling each AC plug from the wall. You're doing the same thing, just in a timed electronic manner. The end result is capacitor discharg... | |
| Riddle me this: how is carbon a conductor? Herman: Are you actually reading what that article says and understanding it or are you taking it at face value? A child with basic electronics knowledge could tear that article apart piece by piece. Since the link that you provided primarily disc... | |
| Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas Joe: I was concerned with your comments about the recovery tube being very dark / black. Seeing a cleaner surface is one thing whereas seeing "gobs of black sludge" in the recovery tubes is another. Thanks for the clarification. As far as the disc... | |
| Riddle me this: how is carbon a conductor? Carbon is more of a resistor than a conductor. That's why older resistors were made out of Carbon. That in itself should tell you about how conductive it is in comparison to Copper or Silver. Since resistance equates to thermal losses and thermal ... |
