| Optimal Loading for Shelter 501 mk2 Ok, I figured out the problem pointed out by Doug. I thought I could get away with just sticking the resistor leads into the K&K load board trace holes. Nope, this resulted in no load resistors being in the circuit -- thus the weak bass.Solder... | |
| Optimal Loading for Shelter 501 mk2 Doug,Not Australia: but I do live in Northern California, which some think ='s the opposite of the rest of the U.S. But I do see your point about the loading. I'll get back to ya and the thread after more testing...(as an aside -- did you ever try... | |
| Optimal Loading for Shelter 501 mk2 I finally got around to playing around with a lower loading, per our discussions above.To recap:I have a Teres 255 with a Shelter 501 Mk II into a K&K phono stage that includes a 20db (1:10) Lundahl step-up. I have been running happily with 10... | |
| SCD-1 & SCD-777ES Sonically What's the Difference? And it doesn't have two power supplies either.The transformer is potted in the SCD-1, however. | |
| Optimal Loading for Shelter 501 mk2 Whoops, math error.3800 in parallel with 47k is 3716 / 100 = 37 ohms or thereabouts. See http://www.1728.com/resistrs.htm for a little resistor calculation application.I was hoping the 47k resistor on the phono stage could help explain the differe... | |
| Optimal Loading for Shelter 501 mk2 Doug,So you have said you use 38 ohms (after accounting for step-up math) on your Bent TX103s. Correct me if I am wrong, but don't you also have a 47k resistor load on your phono stage?I don't know the step-up amount you are using, but lets say it... | |
| Keith Monks record cleaning machine Tbg,I have a Loricraft cleaner and am currently during comparison testing of Record Research and Disc Doctor cleaners. So far the RR is winning: better frequency extremes, more dynamic, haze removed. I've only tested with two records so more testi... | |
| Tube Equipment: Gimmick? It is a mistake to assume that tube equipment is less "accurate" than solid state gear. Here is a recent M.I.T. thesis you might be interested in looking at: http://web.mit.edu/cheever/www/cheever_thesis.pdfOn page 26, for example, Cheever discuss... | |
| Avantgarde Duo upgrades Seadogs,You've probably seen this link, but just in case you haven't: http://www.avantgarde-usa.com/upgrades.htmlIt does look like there are upgrades for you. | |
| I have a lack of depth in "soundstage". Question for you Flickkit: How close are your speakers to the back wall? | |
| Review: Carver Professional ZR500 Amplifier Thanks for the nice review.How are you going from RCAs on the passive into the amp?And then how are you converting the ZR500's output to use "regular" speaker cable.Thanks. | |
| Problems with my Berning ZH270 George,The reason I asked about your rack and isolation tweaks was because I have found that small changes can have a large effect on tone (I have Merlin speakers with Joule gear).Is it possible the Silestone quartz shelf is causing some ringing t... | |
| Problems with my Berning ZH270 George,One question - what kind of rack/isolation support do you have your components resting on? | |
| Hovland hp-100 remote in the future? I saw the new Hovland preamp with remote at the HES 2003 show. I was told it was similar to the current preamp although they were able to simplify the signal path somewhat resulting in better sound. | |
| Power Cord for Sony SCD-1 Fdcliff,Repeat is fine. There is no need to have the amp or preamp on. |
