| How to upgrade a nondetachable power cord? I am sure that manufacturers adopted detachable power cords for a practical reason...so that they could easily configure their products for sale in different countries that use different configurations of electrical outlets. This opened an oportun... | |
| woofers gone wild OK...Forget about the pot. It appears that the Unison amp has an active circuit to balance its output, because other aspects of its circuit design make it particularly prone to DC offset. Something has gone wrong with this circuit, or the DC offse... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP Ecruz...If you move it between the CDP and the preamp you can't use it for any other source. If you do move it up you should try feeding it digital from your CDP. Your output from the Behringer will be through its D/A anyway, so why run the signal... | |
| MC transformers - what do they sound like? Rauliruegas...Agree that dirct coupled amps are best. I have some Kenwood LO-7M monoblocks that are direct coupled. Such an amplifier is really a DC power supply, with high slew rate and analog voltage control. | |
| Bel Canto eOne amps - Is this the future? Muralman1...You do realize that I am pulling your leg a bit? Of course I have read your many comments about the H2O. I have also read many comments by others, who don't always agree with you. As Scintilla sez "Every ears and every system is differ... | |
| woofers gone wild Lousyreeds1...OK, maybe you better have someone who is familiar with electronics look at it. Hopefully it is just a simple adjustment which they might even do for free (if they want your further business).A "Pot" is a Potentiometer, which is a var... | |
| Good Grief. Another Tchaikovsky already. Texasdave...It would be interesting to compare his approach in 1988 with today. I think I must have a Heifetz somewhere. I will dig it out and listen. | |
| Bel Canto eOne amps - Is this the future? Move on Muralman1! The ICE age is over. Next up..UcD. You could probably get the module (from Hypex.com) for a few hundred bucks and drop it into your H2O with the power supply you are so fond of. | |
| MC transformers - what do they sound like? Rauliruegas...Transformers do have their proponents. In addition to the MC phono aplication, some prefer transformer-coupled amplifier stages over capacitors, and some prefer variable coupling transformers over pots for volume control. | |
| woofers gone wild From the pictures I see it looks like a really nice amp for the price. Dare I say DK-like in concept :-) If the problem is just misadjuctment of the pot to null DC offset it is a real easy fix. In fact, the circuit board may have markings to ident... | |
| woofers gone wild Your amp has DC voltage on its output. If the cones move a centimeter this voltage is way more than normal. The amp needs adjustment. | |
| Cable isolators ??? Honest1...The loudspeaker in the box with the (outboard) phono preamp was driven by a spare power amp. The test signal played through the loudspeaker was a "warble" tone that I swept over the range of 22.5 Hz to 250 Hz. (I may have also used a whi... | |
| Cable isolators ??? Brainwater...Sorry, I forgot tube electronics which are microphonic, and would benefit from vibration isolation. Apart from that we agree to disagree. What the hell...Vibration control, along with exotic cables are what is keeping the high end ind... | |
| What's The Word On The Street? Bel Canto Ref 1000 The ICE age is over. Get an amp using a UcD module, like Channel Island Audio D-200, or to really save money go to www.hypex.nl. | |
| Why hasn't America discovered the Fertin sound yet Laurentgilles...I gather that "Fieldcoil" is what they call a driver that has an electromagnet instead of a permanent magnet. These were common about 70 years ago when the electromagnet field coil also served as an inductor in the receiver power s... |
