Anyone had the equipment customized ?
High ESR means that the terminals of the cap will not present a low impedance to high frequencies. Since bypass caps are in parallel with the Vcc pin on ICs, that means the noise is still present. The only way to displace the noise is to present a... 
Minor Vintage Repair?
The current limiting resistor is needed on a plain LED because it will only handle 20mA at 2 volts.  
Minor Vintage Repair?
The parts express LEDs would probably be close enough.  
Minor Vintage Repair?
Take garden variety green LEDs and solder in series a 680 ohm 1/4 watt resistor to drop the current. Use a 560 ohm 1/4 watt resistor if you want a little brighter.  
I am sure this has been discussed but want a fresh take. Mapleshade / Timbernation racks?
Corian or other solid surface makes excellent shelving for audio racks because it’s so dense and inert.

@spatialking said:Rail to ground decoupling caps work much better at killing noise when they have a moderate amount of ESR in them while DC Blocking caps passing a signal work best when ESR is held to a minimum.  That is incorrect. ESR in bypass c...

I’ve upgraded my phono stage with a Burson SV6 Classic and regulated power supply. Soon to modify my integrated amps to bypass the integrated phono stages.

I finally “got” calculus in college. Seeing it in the context of electronics made it crystal clear to me. Funny thing was some of the ones who were math wizards in high school couldn’t grasp the fundamentals of electronics. I survived in spite of ...

Inductors are measured in Henrys. (picoHenrys, nanoHenrys, microHenrys, milliHenrys etc... that is the voltage produced by the instantaneous rate of change in current through a circuit with respect to time. The rate of change of current flow is me...

You are confusing inductance with inductive reactance.  
Isn't a wondeful time to be an audiophile?
The golden age for audiophiles began in the late 70’s and ended around 1981. There was only one focus: to make the most faithfully reproductive system in the analog domain. The digital age was only a distraction.  
voltage problem
Go off the grid.

@kijanki You have the idea generally correct, but your terminology is all wrong. The inductance of the choke is a constant.  
Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members?
Do you want sarcasm with that happy meal sir? 
Technics SL-1700 feet
@chakster (Technics feet are) 100% junk on SL1700 (and mk2 too) just like on any other technics OLD turntable. Not a very objective statement. There’s more to the story also. The feet are are designed to work as part of a system. It is the whole s...
