| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses @nonoise I'm still waiting for the measurements. | |
| Magical Marantz 22## receivers @markalarsen Check the DC on the ouputs. Those coupling caps can send half the rail voltage to the ouputs. DC shouldn't exceed 10 mV. Anything getting close to 50 mV means they're leaking. Nichicon FG's are good replacements. | |
| Cable Snake Oil Antidote ieales, the reason phase coherent speakers aren't the order of the day is because the virtues of that strategem haven't acquitted themselves as highly important. Typically speakers that make that a cheif priority make detrimental compromises in so... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses @nonoise I know this explanation will go WAY over your head, but if any wire or fuse was directional it would effectively put DC on the AC line. Why ever would you want to do something that stupid? In a bipolar power supply you'd end up with one r... | |
| Magical Marantz 22## receivers I'm pretty sure Pioneer used it. I might be wrong. I'm certain Sansui used it. They used it for gluing the big caps on. | |
| Furutech GTX NCF receptical break in, how long No bass? If your outlet has that kind of impact on your system you've got a serious problem. | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? @georgehifi Please believe me when I say I'm not trying to be a weenie here, but the B1 doesn't use complementary parts. It uses same type N-channel parts in a common drain mode biased by a common source mode part. Your diagram looks a lot like th... | |
| Magical Marantz 22## receivers Mike, those are the primary candidates for that glue I'm talking about. That stuff is just evil. I'm telling ya, if you care much about those units, you'll get that crap out of there. It's eating your traces. It's eating any leads it's touching. A... | |
| Magical Marantz 22## receivers You don't like the sound of anything complicated, but you like the sound of those very complicated 70's units? Ok. | |
| Magical Marantz 22## receivers They do NOT get better as those ancient caps age. Not by a long shot. I've recapped all of the old Marantz units I've got. The tantalum caps on those like to pop like firecrackers and take out tuners. Electrolytics go leaky and push bias out of sp... | |
| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? @geoffkait "You’re right about one thing, the AC current does travel in both directions. But only one of those directions is audible. See if you can guess which one. A prize for the right answer."The answer is both. How else do you think you build... | |
| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? @markalarsen Look... I understand the only way for you to contest the technical evidence with your level of technical ignorance is to bully and abuse and call me names. I don't take it personally. You went out to the internet, copied and pasted so... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? There is no patent part in that circuit that’s not in the service manual. And that’s the problem with your understanding. You’re just making that jazz up. As Pass says, it "disappears". The active gain never shuts off or goes away. Of course the d... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? @mrdecibel It's not my fault you can't read a schematic! Just look at the thing! There's NO point on that ladder that doesn't carry the signal of the gain devices. Imagine it to work any way you please. You're just plain wrong. | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? @georgehifi Loosing you're cool there, huh? I'm sorry you can't just look at the schematic and see what it's doing. The numbers do make it obvious though. The "typical" distortion figure... The 20kR input impedance.... Straight wires don't do that... |
