| Listing of Opamps for EE Minimax DAC Plus Chips are built to case standards.8pin is a dual opamp while 4pin is a single, usually 1/2 a dual. Putting a replaceable module in a socket is probably good for the opamp rollers, of which there are many...and more coming.SMT? I'd not try to manua... | |
| Sony XA5400ES fuse directionality... Are you talking damping factor change for a power supply fuse or in the protection part of the output?One makes a little sense, the other none at all. Sine the max current draw is isolated from the output by (presumably) a fair amount of capactita... | |
| Sony XA5400ES fuse directionality... Here is the data for a 2ag, 5 amp fuse, which should be in the 'normal' range for power supplies of larger amps. NOTE: resistance, measured cold, is http://www.littelfuse.com/products/Fuses/2AG+(5x15mm)/208/0208005..htmlNow, I have a cheap-o meter... | |
| Sony XA5400ES fuse directionality... You were able to consistently measure such low resistance? What kind of meter are you using? This is how littlefuse approaches fuse resistivity:http://www.littelfuse.com/data/en/Technical_Articles/TB98-004.pdf | |
| Listing of Opamps for EE Minimax DAC Plus Looked at the BrownDog site and they are fine with 2134 pricing. The adaptor? Solder in, from the look of it, so I don't know what that buys you. Plug in would be fine for swapping opamps. I guess I'm not current on what people are doing. I guess ... | |
| Sony XA5400ES fuse directionality... Such claims SHOULD be testable. | |
| Sony XA5400ES fuse directionality... Hak, it's best to leave the fuse people alone. I tried reason once.....like how IS ac directional again? to no effect but getting people POd. And yes, they'll have you believe in all sorts of weird stuff. Fuse Microphonics and diode effcts. Break ... | |
| Listing of Opamps for EE Minimax DAC Plus Those prices for opamps are crazy high. Opamps are a commodity device and are typically sold (exaggeration alert) in bushell basket quantities. The last 2134s I bought were about 2.50$ each.http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?x=24... | |
| Wyred 4 sound vs Red Dragon digital mono blocks?? Input is handled thru the 'GainCell'......whatever that really is. Even has a pair of balanced ins.As for 'modified' modules? I don't think so. But, don't forget that ASP modules include a SMPS which while you can 'modify' it, that would usually c... | |
| Wyred 4 sound vs Red Dragon digital mono blocks?? People mistake the class name, 'd' with 'digital'. The class name, 'd' was really just the next letter to come along. People also may mistake the output on/off state at some high frequency with 'digital'. I spite of everyone talking about 'huge di... | |
| Cheap Blu Ray Player + DAC for hi fi ? My PS3 has extensive audio output choices.For my Optical? I chose PCM at 48 or 44.1 which gives me FINE stereo sound thru my DAC to stereo.If I had an HT receiver? some of the multichannel choices would be obvious. | |
| Do I need BOTH amp and pre to be sonic holography? yes, the head causes additional time delay.It also causes the 'downstream' side to get fewer high frequency part of the sound. That's the reason for the 6" speaker seperation on some Polk models seeking to mimic this circuit. In nature, the time d... | |
| Pass 250.5 shuts down driving Magnepan 3.7 I LIKE that idea. If the wall voltage sags...badly, that'd do it.Try a SINGLE channel at the offending level.Borrow / buy a DVM and check line voltage during use. A 'Kill-a-Watt' meter would work, also. As long as you're on the same leg of the cir... | |
| Cracked my amplifier faceplate. HELP I like that! | |
| Sub wolfer advice If you do amp to sub and amp to main speaker wiring, you don't really need anything heavier than magnet wire to the sub. The speaker ins on a sub have very high input impedance and so use little real power. You probably don't want to really use ma... |
