| Old JBL recones missioncoonery-thanks for the response. A quick look on EBAY reminded me that there are foam surround repair kits. Might be the ticket.A senior moment is what I'll claim.Bill | |
| Old JBL recones Thanks for the responses. I have relayed this information to my friend, and he is very appreciative. I think he will contact the local-to-him Berkeley facility first and work outward from there.This was my first large speaker system. 2215's w/p... | |
| I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately I've been a Mac fan since the sixties. Couldn't afford it until the eighties. I used to read the US stereo mags, particularly Stereo and HiFi back then, and I remember that around 1970 or so, Mac stopped being mentioned in the magazines. The s... | |
| Rock with strings I don't know how well it fits, but It's A Beautiful Day used an electric violin and rocked out.Bill | |
| KRELL FPB 650M MONO BLOCKS ..? I have no experience with Krell and cannot comment on your specific question, but when I bought my 801Ns I had an MC7300 that at 300W/channel I thought would be fine. It wasn't. Replacing the MC7300 with a pair of MC1000 monoblocks made a big diff... | |
| Which Mc better Mid/High performance in BiAmp set up? I bi-amped my 801Ns using MC1000 for the low end and an MC2000 for the highs. The tubes really smoothed out the high end in my case. However, the lower power held down the MC1000's a bit. Also, you may need an amp with volume controls. I had to pa... | |
| Anti-skating- test records vs. ears I have never assumed that anti skate was expressed in gram increments. It is a numerical value to use during setup. Making it correspond to tracking force simplifies things. Whether or not it is accurate is another thing, which as the above poster... | |
| What started you on the path to being audionut? My story started like Jameswei's. My folks bought a large Magnavox console in the sixties with 15" woofers, horn highend and 100 watt amp. I thought it sounded better than anything I had ever heard, until the guy in the room next to mine in the do... | |
| Need help balancing tonearm/ heavy cartridge If I understand the problem correctly, the solution might be easy. The only important thing is the tracking force. Assuming that you are using a scale to set the vtf, it is not necessary to balance first. Balancing is only important if you are usi... | |
| What happens when a tube amp fails? I would like to add to Newbee's first item that the 'pop' can be very loud. When one of the output tubes in my MC2000 went, I thought at first that someone had fired a gun right outside the window behind the amp. It took out a resistor, too. The a... | |
| If you had a Benz cartridge would you let someone About 14 years ago I had my ruby re-tipped by Van Den Hul. I had this done because I liked the sound of Van Den Hul stylii. The results were as I hoped, and I have never regretted my decision. The cartridge does sound different since the re-tip, b... | |
| Hard drive file management? Thanks to all for the replies. I have gone through a couple of the tutorials and I think I now have a better understanding. I was expecting a little more from EAC than there is--maybe more along the lines of what Sgs is getting from Dbpoweramp. I ... | |
| Signal Direction XLR to RCA? Which way? Hi Rickschell, On equipment, XLR input sockets are always female. Outputs are male. Hope this answers your question. Bill | |
| Turn off of subwoofer Hi 7671, The reason for having a sequence is to prevent turn-on and turn-off transients/spikes generated by front end components from reaching a powered up amplifier and possibly damaging the amp or, amplified by the power amp, the speakers. So, u... | |
| Phono cables with angled DIN for SME IV and V arms Hi Gundam91, Yes, SME is backwards. When I wanted an aftermarket cable for my IV I ordered a connector from SME, and my local dealer sent it to Harmonic Technology who made a cable with it as a special order. Bill |
