| Graphic Equalizer --Ugh I don't like the idea of using an EQ either(as indicated by the "Ugh" in the subject line) but I don't know what else to try. Anything else would then be in the system and affect my good CDs and not just the overly bright ones. My original questio... | |
| Graphic Equalizer --Ugh EldartfordDo you use the balance I/Os or the other? | |
| Nuforce and panel speakers? I have discuss (via email) with them concerning my speakers (not panel but low eff) and they tell me that they are coming out with a higher power version in July. You may want to also email them. | |
| Are MOSFET's voltage, not current, devices? Mosfets are voltage controlled devices, that is the more voltage on the gate the more fully they turn on and once turned on, they act like a resistor. The only current required to control them is to charge up any gate capacitance.Bipolar transisto... | |
| How to burn in new WBTs on a phono stage? Phono inputs (MM or MC) are low level (several mVolts) while all other inputs and outputs from tuners, CD players are in the 100s of mVolts to volts. Connecting any of these to the phono input may over drive it and could (slight possibility)damage... | |
| Speaker cable length for L/R channels critical? Also:2 tweeters that roll off at the example freq or 22khz and 33khz will also have a phase shift difference even well below their roll off freq, in the audioable range. Much of music is composed of impluses which are composed of the fundamental f... | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible The key is to move a large volumn of air. If long throw woofers are used then they don't need have as large diameter. | |
| What am I to do about I have a test CD that came with the Odyssey power amp. It has tone bursts at different freq. and seemed like I might have a peak around 3khz but when I went to the track that did a freq sweep, I did not notice the peak. Other than that, I did not ... | |
| What am I to do about Here is a little more info:I did not say that the Polk were very good, just that they were not harsh. The problem is not in the low freq but in the highs, vocals with words starting in "t" or "s", cymbals and the like but bells are very good and c... | |
| Cryoing of audio equipment DO NOT cryo any electronics. The plastic packages of ICs, transistors have different thermal expansion rates from the silicon and the metal leads and at these extreme conditions will crack the parts and damage them. Even the best military parts ar... | |
| looking for preamp with built in tuner I would like to limit the discussion to only solid state with full function remotes. | |
| Big caps v Little caps Another reason is that the large can type caps are connected to by wires but the multiple small cans are pcb mounted which would add parts cost but lower assembly cost and lower inductance. | |
| Whole house surge protection/voltage regulation I would suggest that you DO NOT use a Sola type CV Transformer. The way these devices work is to ferro-resonate with a capacitor that is built into the unit and their output voltage. They have lots of harmonic distortion, good line regulation, Ok ... | |
| any audio buffs in SW VA? Hi!I also live in Blacksburg. I have Paradigms also (bought when I lived in Raleigh). Email me at charlesjford@yahoo.com and I'll send you my phone no. | |
| Rectifying bridge. The diode bridge converts the AC voltage out of the transformer (after being converted to a lower voltage). The only ways it can offer improvement are:1) little more reliable2) Because it is operating at a lower percentage of its rated voltage, it... |
