| Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas Psychic: I'm still on "vacation". I'm just taking a vacation from my vacation : )Actually, i just set up a new computer as the old hard drive was taking a dive. Just putting the new one through the paces. That's good info that you contributed and ... | |
| I found a pair of mint Carver Amazings I listened to a pair of these Friday afternoon. They were powered by the biggest Bryston stereo amp and a current model Levinson amp rated at 200/400 wpc. Neither of these amps could get these speakers to open up. I was thoroughly unimpressed. To ... | |
| Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas While i have a rather involved record cleaning process, some of you may remember me commenting on various vinyl cleaning solutions lacking the proper surfactant formulation to fully penetrate the grooves. My "multi-stage" cleaning process came abo... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Tom: This is a very interesting subject, but it would probably be best off in it's own thread. While speaker cables are involved in the amplifier / crossover / speaker interphase, we are getting WAY off topic here. Sean> | |
| Record cleaning machine advise, want to buy,"HELP" Excellent suggestions Rushton. I think that you and i probably have very similar "cleaning procedures" given your comments. Sean> | |
| Large Can Power Caps Compatibility Question So long as they physically fit and you observe proper polarity, i see no problems with doing this at all. I would only add that you should orient the polarity of the new capacitors in the same direction as that of the old capacitors. If in doubt, ... | |
| BEST S- VIDEO CABLE ??? Can't say that i've done much comparing between various S-Video cables, but i ended up snagging some Harmonic Technology Crystal Silver Super S Video cables and i'm quite happy with them. As per my usual methods, i looked for a very long custom cu... | |
| What is clipping? Clipping occurs when a circuit runs out of power. That is, the signal requires more output than the power supply can deliver to the output stage OR when the output stage itself is saturated. The end result is an increase in multiple types of disto... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Tom: What you bring up is a good point and something that most people never really think about. I have often wondered about the effects of "everything on one side of the line" type crossovers in the past. I have discussed this with my Brother at t... | |
| Electraglide Ultra Kahn / Shunyata Anaconda vx Warren: In response to the questions here and to the two emails that you sent me, I don't see every response or every thread posted right away. My schedule and attention levels vary, so i don't / can't always respond to suit your preferences or sc... | |
| Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas For sake of clarity, when i mentioned "air drying" the disc, i didn't mean to apply the solution and let it dry on the disc via exposure to air. I meant that one should clean the disc as one normally would i.e. applying the solution and removing i... | |
| Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas What is the difference between buying a "branded" product off of the shelf in a fancy package and "trusting it to work as described" or being given something as a test sample and being asked to see how you like it? The difference is that one "assu... | |
| Forte amplifiers: design and specifications FYI The information provided for the model 6 is incorrect, even though it was what Forte' printed in the first run of amps and their very early literature. This amp was rated at 200 wpc @ 8 ohms and 350 wpc @ 4 ohms. The rating was corrected in later ... | |
| Electraglide Ultra Kahn / Shunyata Anaconda vx Warren: By nature, a well designed power cable that attempts to achieve a lower noise floor is NOT "neutral" in itself. As such, i've already answered your question. Power cords are PART of a power delivery SYSTEM. When you count on them to perfor... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Psychic & Audiofankj: The reason that i didn't "jump" on the offer to check these out is that i currently have four out of five systems down and torn apart. The only one that is running is my HT system, which is XLR based. On top of that, i've... |
