| Fuses keep blowing I had a similar problem with a SS amp. It was overheating.Installed it in a less enclosed place and that corrected the problem. | |
| E188CC/7308/6922 Thanks for Tube world. In deed, but could not find grey pins in 7308 nor e188CC. But......after my intial post, did some research and found a comment on same tube saying they are Amperex from the 60's made for military. | |
| Pass Labs X series vs. XA series..... The subject has been discussed many times. Do a search and you will find all the info you are looking for. Believe me, there is plenty !Regards ! | |
| Great old speakers that are as good as new ones Most Acoustat speakers. Under 1000 $ used but you have to be fast when they appear on sale. Will last forever. Can be refurbished at very modest prices. | |
| Useful Life of PreAmp Tubes. Interesting question because the answer is not always clear in the unit's instructions manual. Some preamps (CJ Pr 16) always look like they are on standby mode when turned off. What makes it obvious it is off is that the tubes are visible from th... | |
| more mcintosh questions If you have Apogee speakers, must we understand that imaging is also important to you, apart from your search for a warmer sound. If so, without stating anything on my part, I've heard from some of my audio buddies and read on Audiogon that McInto... | |
| Made in Canada conundrum Infotrad, thanks for the info. In brief, should it not be the job of the shipment agency to inform people of what you just found out when sending an item in another country for repair? Should we all have college degrees simply to ask a clerk accro... | |
| Made in Canada conundrum Polk said :Yes, I could have refused to ship the items, and he could have given me a neg. no big deal because I would just switch and sell thru agon. My problem is that if it says lower US. only, people should ask first not just bid. I will charge... | |
| Made in Canada conundrum To Polk 32 :That's an interesting point and it raises a question : could you have refused the winning bid since you stated lower US only ? And if so, why did you accept the transaction ? Does your pocket always win over your principles ? What does... | |
| exactpower ep 15A Thanks Neil,I had a look at their website at the provided address. They specifically say that they will not repair units which are out-of-warranty. That is quite a downer !Where could we get service for a product that has such a unique technology ... | |
| Made in Canada conundrum In my experience, no matter how perfectly the proper procedures are written down and how good is the training for people at their work, there is always incompetent people on the job.If it works out fine for some and badly for others, for the same ... | |
| Problems with my remote Hi,I had an almost similar problem with my Simaudio remote operating the cd player, until I found out with a lot of rebooting (I'm a slow learner !)what I was doing wrong.For instance, the cd player would not power on with the remote if the last t... | |
| Static or line voltage instability Thanks for your interest !Yes this had me thinking about getting a quality line conditioner and surge protector but was always told it wasn't necessary with my dedicated lines and overall quality of the electrical supply in our vicinity.No, no spe... | |
| Pass X-350 with Acoustat 2 + 2 So it will be another "unsolved mystery". My friend drives his 2+2 with ease on his X-350. But yes, the needle meter was also in the right corner on the day he first plugged it. It came back to full center a couple of days after. Full caps !!?? 2+... |
