| Why aren't the older members still active ? I became a member in 2006; I am also 59 years old. One reason I don't post as much is my system is stable. After years of listening, I know what I like so I keep it. I read posts but I don't post very often now. But, I have been known to change my... | |
| Repair a Superphon Dual Mono Pre-Amp Try The Stereo Doctor in Dublin California. I have had him repair lots of stuff and he is always top notch. BTW, repair is all they do, this is not a retail outlet although he does have used gear for sale there. | |
| How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ??? Don't forget that radio stations play only the very best sources, too. I've purchased CD's that our classical radio station played and found the one "cut" they played was way above the quality of the rest of the "cuts". I have come to the conclusi... | |
| Do failing tubes give off burning smell? Most likely what is burning is a resistor due to over current. In general I suggest a trip to the local stereo repair house that specializes in audio repair. Here in Dublin CA we have the Stereo Doctor. They are good and do all of my repairs when ... | |

| What do you see as the downside of tubes? I have both types of amps in my living room. I find the biggest problem with my CJs are the fact that I can't leave them on 24/7 playing music like I do my solid state system. Heat is another matter. In the winter time, there is enough heat that t... | |
| Dahlquist LP-1 Passive/Active crossover Also, I found the original owners manual which I scanned into pdf format and I also have a schematic for an upgrade to it which I have been using for some years now. If anyone wants them they are welcome to them. Just shoot me an email. | |
| EMF/RFI isolation with aluminum sheet metal The FCC does limit what can be emitted from a Class D amp, along with everything else. But not every unit is tested, only one unit unless it is a new model or a significant change was implemented. Aluminum will do wonders for electrostatic noise i... | |
| isolation transformers hum Hum in a transformer is caused by eddy currents developing in the iron plates inside the unit. Other than being annoying, they don't cause a safety issue of any kind. However, that energy is part of what keeps a transformer from approaching 100% e... | |
| Tube amps that kick ass? Try looking for a used CJ Premier series amps. They run in your price range and are very good. I certainly am happy with mine. | |
| Loudspeakers with a wide sweet spot I have found that Shahinians are very good in having a wide social image which can be heard from many positions in the listening room. I spent a lot of time listening before I sprung for mine. |
