| best mm/mc preamp under $200 and best mc cartridge under $500 for an SME 3009 S2 arm ? Hi DeKay,Thanks for your suggestion. I was thinking almost EXACTLY the same cartridge :-) or maybe the 740ML. I read somewhere that bass had a bit more oomph on the 740. But these things are so subjective.Thanks again | |
| best mm/mc preamp under $200 and best mc cartridge under $500 for an SME 3009 S2 arm ? Hi invictus, I will definitely try your recommendation. The price seems very reasonable and more importantly, you have personal experience with it. Sometimes price/performance ratios do not make sense and personal opinions are more valid.Thanks ... | |
| best mm/mc preamp under $200 and best mc cartridge under $500 for an SME 3009 S2 arm ? Hmm.. That does not look bad to me at about $130, especially with a PASSIVE RIAA equalizer:http://www.schiit.com/products/mani | |
| This question is aimed to TRUE Elec Engineers, not fuse or wire directionality believers. @gibsonian. Thanx for sharing your experiences with phase linear. I guess i am trying to err on the side of being excessively cautious and not take the risk of leaving the tweeter protection to its filter capacitor. | |
| This question is aimed to TRUE Elec Engineers, not fuse or wire directionality believers. I did not mean to say I wont use a fuse. This is an ADDİTİONAL protection. Fuses will of course be there. And yes I will need a mosfet for at least 150 Vdc since 100 v is too close for comfort. As for fuse directionality changing the quality of so... | |
| This question is aimed to TRUE Elec Engineers, not fuse or wire directionality believers. Unfortunately, these are about $220 -> $320 on average:https://omronfs.omron.com/en_US/ecb/products/pdf/J144-E1-05.pdfHopefully an SSR will replace this. | |
| This question is aimed to TRUE Elec Engineers, not fuse or wire directionality believers. As long as the MOSFETS stay hard on between 20 - 20khz it will be fine :-) | |
| This question is aimed to TRUE Elec Engineers, not fuse or wire directionality believers. This is more like it:https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Infineon-Technologies/IPB017N10N5LFATMA1?qs=sGAEpiMZZMshyDBzk1%...100V, 180 amps, 1.5mohms (almost lower than the speaker wire itself), about 80 nanosecond turn off time (increase that beco... | |
| This question is aimed to TRUE Elec Engineers, not fuse or wire directionality believers. Let me try & respond to some of the comments made recently.- First, a fuse will NOT protect a speaker from a DC fault. If and when a fault occurs, the speaker wire, especially the tweeter wire will melt and catch fire WELL BEFORE a fuse has ... | |
| This question is aimed to TRUE Elec Engineers, not fuse or wire directionality believers. @ssg308, since some SSRs internally use back to back SCRs or triacs, they may NOT turn off when the trigger is removed and DC is flowing, which would destroy the speaker in a second under fault conditions.Thanks | |
| This question is aimed to TRUE Elec Engineers, not fuse or wire directionality believers. @ssg308, can u pls tell me the EXACT model/make of the device u used ? Also, the KEY is, would it work/disengage in case of a DC fault ?Thanks | |
| This question is aimed to TRUE Elec Engineers, not fuse or wire directionality believers. Thanx but one has to be very careful with other SSRs. Most of them are made for motor control and are not suitable for audio freq range (20 - 20k) and some of them cannot stop DC and are only made for AC. There are so many out there but only a V... | |
| This question is aimed to TRUE Elec Engineers, not fuse or wire directionality believers. If these work as flawlessly as claimed, they could be employed also on the supply rails too. Cut the speaker AND the supply rails within milliseconds upon a fault detection. According to specs, they are rated at 10s of amps (but no voltage is sp... | |
| This question is aimed to TRUE Elec Engineers, not fuse or wire directionality believers. Again, I mean SSR (Solid state relay, audio power quality) *NOT* SCR. | |
| This question is aimed to TRUE Elec Engineers, not fuse or wire directionality believers. @atmasphere , yes I meant SSR = solid state relay, not SCR.ThanksHas anyone used one of these before:https://holtonprecisionaudio.com/collections/diy-audio-products/products/audio-solid-state-relay-hpa... |
