| I s Benchmark the "Benchmark" I just bought a Benchmark A/D converter after having a very long conversation with a tech at Benchmark. I had previously bought a Tascam DA-3000 which has a very poor sounding analog front end. I plan to use the Benchmark to do the A/D conversion,... | |
| No cartridge is good enough. I know there a lot of vinyl lovers here, but this conversation is like discussing how best to optimize the steam engine with the latest carbon fiber technology.Yes, we could take miniature video cameras and photograph undulations in the grooves, t... | |
| Mark Levinson ML3 bias voltage? MnorlSorry I misread your post first time. I think you were asking about what the correct bias current was, not how to measure it.One thing you can do is determine which power transistor the ML3 uses. Then find out its maximum safe operating area.... | |
| Mark Levinson ML3 bias voltage? Not familiar with this amp, but if it has a bipolar output stage, look for emitter resistors. These will all be common to the amp output, with one each to each power transistor. With the power off, measure the resistance with a good DVM with a low... | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today JBL L212. Ground breaking speaker for JBL. Sorry I sold mine now.Next up would be the JBL Paragon. Amazing piece of engineering and woodwork. Like owning the first REAL Eames lounge chair. | |
| B&W 803D crossover caps Oh, and one other point. B&W went with a Supreme SGO (10 mFd) as a bypass/parallel cap across the mid driver, but an MKP in series with it. I always wondered why they did this, but now realize that the series cap is in series with a very large... | |
| B&W 803D crossover caps Rtilden:I am kind of where you were at. I would like to make a change, but not really mess around with a lot of trial and error swapping stuff in and out. If I could have gotten a general consensus that a particular option was a no brainer improve... | |
| B&W 803D crossover caps Ptss:If you are referring to the Spectral posts, there are three parts because WB forum had a limit on photos per post.Here are links to all three parts:http://www.whatsbestforum.com/showthread.php?18147-Spectral-DMC-10-modshttp://www.whatsbestfor... | |
| B&W 803D crossover caps John:I wanted to thank you publicly for generous offer. I will try those Carity caps when I get them. | |
| B&W 803D crossover caps Rtilden:Based on your experience, did you find a material difference between the Mundorf M-Cap Supremes vs the SGO? I understand the "Supremes" do not contain oil, so my quandary is still SG only vs SGO vs silver oil vs "no oil". I still do not qu... | |
| B&W 803D crossover caps John:The more I look into this and the more reviews I read, the more opinions differ. Looks like the 47 mFd will probably be the Mondorf EVO. Al/oil or SGO I am not sure yet. Some say (ie Tony Gee) that the Al oil are better for midrange which is ... | |
| Vincent PHO 700 Phono Stage TaterThere is a difference between a company like Parasound that has American Designers like John Curl that builds in Taiwan vs Vincent that is a front for a mainland Chinese audio company claiming "German engineering" that is really engineered in... | |
| Cleaning records. How often really? While I agree that "cleaning" (with detergent or cleaning agents) should be done sparingly, I find that static removal may need to be done prior to every play.I don't find most carbon brushes to be effective at removing all static charges from an ... | |
| Parasound A21 I have had an A21 and liked it. I now use JC1s. For nearly 6K$ I would step up to 2 JC1s (used) which sound a lot better than the A21. I am driving B&W 803D and they like high power and high current, which the JC1s have in spades. | |
| B&W 803D crossover caps Ptss:Sorry if I misinterpreted your comments. Mine were based on an experience I had a few years back with B&W regarding a delamination problem I had with some 804s speakers I had. The finish on the top of the speaker (Cherry) was splitting an... |
