| HRS Damping Plates and CD Player You would want the plate centered in the middle of the chassis, not quite touching the edges. That is where the maximum resonance excursions will occur. If this is a piece of equipment you will keep long term, secure it with 3M 30-psi double s... | |
| Looking for explanations to ML390S ERROR= codes please Have you contacted the manufacturer? That is my first suggestion. I had a number of errors on various CD players in the past and they all cleared up when one of the following happened; I cleaned the CD, I cleaned the CD lens using an appropria... | |
| Power Conditioning / Surge Protection "Balanced surge protection" is an interesting name. Since our USA 120VAC power is split phase, single ended, balanced means it either works for 240VAC, which is balanced, or it applies the same filtering on the line and the neutral, even though ... | |
| Optical Cable recommendations There is a lot of talk about quality of optical fibers but do look at the loss per meter, it is really high, on the order of 10dB or so. Some good quality cables specify the loss and some are really very good - less than 3 dB per meter. Other ... | |
| McIntosh 275 v. 6 vs. EAR 890 I am not sure I can help you. I had a MAC 275, early model, some years ago and I sure did like it. However, I am not familiar with the EAR 890. What makes you think about wanting to trade it in? Usually, there is something, somewhere, that bu... | |
| Used McIntosh Amp or better new options out there? - Amplifier or Integrated Well, the MAC's are certainly good stuff and the resale on them hold well through the decades. There are other good tube amps out there, too, you might consider. I had a MAC 275 in my system for while, which was a loaner, so after a while I ha... | |

| Hi dear friends I need your help please Wow, that is a good question!!! I think you will need more than a translation software service since in music the syllables correlate to the time signature of the music. In addition, literal translation never seems to work right and the sylla... | |
| Bluesound Vault Combined with Node 2 Yes, the Node 2 or 2i will communicate with each other but I have found only if they are connected via an Ethernet cable. They do sport WiFi interfaces but their WiFi interface leaves a lot to be desired. It doesn't take much for it to bomb - ... | |
| How do you feel about a wheeled dolly permanently under large floorstanding speakers? Further thoughts ... Use spikes and when you need to roll them, "walk them" one corner at a time onto a mobile platform to roll. | |
| How do you feel about a wheeled dolly permanently under large floorstanding speakers? I would use spikes if you have carpet and when you do want to move them, you can "walk them" by picking up three corners and pivoting around the fourth corner. 80 lbs is about what my speakers weigh and that works perfectly fine for me. The th... | |
| Terminal Blocks for Speaker Wire "Splitting"? You won't have an inductance problem but perhaps a capacitance one. The jumpers are usually flat metal, such as nickel plated copper, that is wide and short. It has very little inductance and very little resistance. If you torque it properly,... | |
| Transformers Oops, you are right, I should have looked closer, the shipping is $6! | |
| Magnum Dynalab FT-101A That is even more interesting! An analog design problem from Dynalab! | |
| Micro Seiki RX-1500 Gasket This response to the thread is a bit late as I have gone through a lot of gaskets since I wrote the above response in February last year. I eventually found that two gaskets at Home Depot work pretty well. Not perfect but pretty well. ... |
