How do YOU find the hole?
C'mon guys, how can you do this to me? I ask an "honest" question and these are the responses i get??? : )Honestly though, i've got a couple tables here that i need to get set-up. With 6 different linear tracker's, i've not lost the faith. These t... 
resonance and sealed enclosures
A port is typically tuned at the point of resonance that the woofer achieves within that given box. By "counter-acting" this resonance, two smaller resonances are created. It is this elevated bass plateau due to these resonances that typically res... 
IC advice needed
KP: I should have known that you would be an expert in "Stoogism's" : ) Sean>PS... Glad that you're back amongst the living. Then again, maybe you WERE "living" and have sunk back into the deep depths of audio forums once again : ) 
Static sound when turning volume knob
Ncarv: All "sealed" controls can basically be cleaned, but it may not be easy. The method that you described basically helps to loosen up the gunk via stimulating the contacts vigorously, but the gunk is never fully removed. As such, you can expec... 
I'd like to buy a cd recorder . Please help.
While it's nothing fancy, i purchased a TDK "audio" burner from Best Buy a while back. I bought this based on TDK's reputation as making great "bang for the buck" puter based burners, although i'm sure it is built for them by someone other than th... 
Vandersteen x-over and IC?
I'm certain that it would alter the sonics and loading characteristics of the circuit as it was installed / removed from the circuit. To what extent this occurs will vary depending on the components and cabling being used. Sean> 
Aerial 10T Beware
Wouldn't it be nice if manufacturers actually denoted differences in model revisions by changing the ID tags on the components as the designs were altered? Knowing for certain that you have a 3A or a 3B when you think that you've got a 3C can make... 
Snell B-Minors: What works best?
Kenny: I think that Neil was saying that Levinson was NOT a good match for Snell B's i.e. just the opposite of what you think you're agreeing with. Bundy ( or anyone else that knows ): Are the Snell's vented or sealed? If vented, are they ported, ... 
Double up on Kimber Kable 4TC??
2chnlben: My experience with Homegrown Silver Lace is that it can work well reasonably well with tubed gear but i personally would NOT recommend it for use with SS gear at all. If you are having problems with excess brightness now, this cable will... 
Static sound when turning volume knob
It's not the resistors that need cleaning but the contancts of the actual stepped attenuator. I would suggest that you carefully spray the contacts with the cleaning solvent of your choice. Once thoroughly saturated, rotate the control through eac... 
IC advice needed
Dr Sean & Dr Trelja??? More like Dr Moe, Dr Larry, Dr Curly... : ) Sean>PS... like i said, interconnects are going to be somewhat component / system dependent. IF you can, try before you buy. Another alternative is to try and find good deal... 
IC advice needed
While i don't know the specific models, I think that Joe aka Trelja has some experience with the Coincident IC's. From what i recall, he found them to be great performers. I'll drop him a line and maybe he can help you out. Sean> 
Speaker Grills??
I mentioned no names, so anyone jumping to conclusions / naming names did that on their own. I simply made a comment and you guys let your "theater of the mind" run away with ideas... : ) Sean> 
Ham Radio Interference from next door neighboor
Topvideo: While i'm glad that you're problem will be ( hopefully ) resolved soon, if you remember, i told you privately that the Low Pass ( TVI ) Filter wouldn't solve your problems. I could have saved you some time & money, but... : ) Sean> 
Power Supply
That is all that a power supply does i.e. supply power, rectify it to DC ( in most cases ) and regulate it so that it is steady. Judging by what you're saying, much of the "power supply" is actually inside of the transport. The parts that you ment...
