| Custom Power Supply for 6v DC Motor all you may need is a reasonably well regulated 6VDC power supply; perhaps even a variable output bench supply would work (set for 6 volts of course). You need to know how much current the wallwart is rated for; then the power supply should be cap... | |
| silver upgraded Mccormack DNA-1 comparison try experimentation with tweaks & cabling to fine tune sonic signature to your preferences:power cords, line conditioning, AC outlet, dedicated AC circuit, interconnects, speaker cables, cones, footers, shelving, tube rolls, room treatments, s... | |
| music hall 25.2 cd/amp + klipschorns = : horns are so sensitive and revealing that they yield their input unforgivingly. Many blame the horns themselves, which is a significant misunderstanding. It's this simple: garbage in = garbage out.You may not have a good equipment match for these ... | |
| Solid State Power Amps That Sound Most Like Tubes? for solid state amplification you should go with mosfet outputs vs. bipolar. Their harmonic artifacts (all amps produce them) are more odd order then even, which is the tube characteristic which their proponents prefer.I use an Accuphase amp for t... | |
| Dumbest reason you were drawn.... just like that 6550 guy I tried some tubed components because so many of you are always saying how you love the tube sound. OMG what a mistake; even the "good stuff" sounds terrible on my very revealing horns. Never again. | |
| Spades terminations into spring load trminal sure if you can snag one prong of the spade under the spring terminal it's not ideal by any means but it will work | |
| FM Antenna question cool beans that was an easy one glad to be of assistance | |
| FM Antenna question this isn't making a lot of sense to me (at least the way I read your post) maybe I'm not understanding you or missing some info? You "can barely receive" this desired station, yet the signal strength is either very good (7/9) or even max'd. What's... | |
| Can Interconnects be converted to speaker cables no no and no don't even think about itthe impedance characteristics alone make this an exercise in futility | |
| Is the color in the amp , the preamp, the souce? 1)There's no such thing as neutrality - all components render a sonic signature of some sort, and every one is different. The only thing that sounds the same is all of those doubting Thomas's who say that "all __x__ sound the same". Many devices m... | |
| Who has found happiness giving up cd player? gave up compact disc; replaced by those strange looking large round black things with grooves on both sides, which make many shake their heads in wonder and amazement.I am amazed as well - at the significant sonic improvement over nasty digital qu... | |
| VPI SDS output voltage I'll plan to measure this for you tomorrow after work.Meanwhile try very briefly plugging the motor directly into 120VAC raw line; if it runs that way, or doesn't, then you know your answer.Are you measuring the SDS output voltage into an open cir... | |
| Amp not enough power you are so close to meeting spec and you'll never whatsoever discern the difference of 20 or so extra watts, even if you do achieve that. Now if you want to tweak it for enhanced sound quality that that is a different motivation, and I wouldn't st... | |
| listening rooms would seriously consider running compression drivers in a volume this huge - you have a LOT of air to move therein | |
| The Hub: History of Dynaco part 3 thanks again for a great series Mr BillBruce: were the ST80 and ST120 basically the same amp with different power supplies? If true, it's not all that surprising to me the 80 sounded better, albeit a lower RMS power rating. I've always asserted th... |
