| How to bias... If you boght already arrow-voltmeter, than you should clearly know what range you're measuring otherwise you will get either overscaling or no arrow motion.Please review every range and scale on the voltmeter before measuring voltage. | |
| Money no object,,,,which speakers would you own??? Puppy 7. | |
| The truth about interconnects - can you handle it? Tom,Hope no hard fealings 'bout "cryin' towel"?:-)Seems to me that you're not "just listening" but calculating before... and this I consider also as a scientific tool to objectively evaluate worthiness of an investment. Many present cases with int... | |
| Burn in power cord by boiling water?? For all who hears differences and wishes to pass music through PC I dedicate a simple DIY invention:-----POWER CORD BOILER OR SIMPLY PC-BOILER----------1. Take IEC recepticle and wire it with 1.5...2' wires hot newtral and ground 26...12AWG. I sug... | |
| Does the subwoofer have to be on the floor? ...the hollow space is not a big deal and you can use it, but since sub has a large flexibility of placement i.e. can be realy away from the mains or somewhere in the middle of room or under the journal table or even under your desk. | |
| Using a good preamp with headphone amp worth it? OK in your case I can clearly see that DIY will be the best option for you.1. You won't need any active preamplification if you're going to be only dealing with headphone amp.2. All you realy need is input selector with no volume control.3. A god ... | |
| Does the subwoofer have to be on the floor? It certainly will with drowers!All I can suggest is to remove drowers and put sub in that space standing on floor as far as my imagination allows to picture your library. | |
| Ebay Tube Blues Rick,Your assumption is not good since tubes are matched to each other. The negative grid offset voltage may vary in EL34 from -35V to -55V the more negative is grid voltage the less current flows through the testing socket.The grid supply is adju... | |
| Burn in power cord by boiling water?? Cp.., Nice idea but not for burn-in...Actually if we freeze cables they will greatly improve conductance i.e. kind-a get close to super-conductance!So if we take ordinary wires and build freezers arround them we actually can get away cheaper than ... | |
| Preamp is an amplifier too, right??? Preamps depending on their circuit topology (and there are few ways to design an input driver) can produce an output power(especially ss-preamps). There are also SS-preamps(base- or gate- coupled output stages) that do increase voltage in very-sma... | |
| Run FM Tuner/Preamp to Pre-amp- Is this safe ? Sounds OK to me since you're placing a line-level signal onto the next preamp input anyway. No doubdt it's amplified but wouldn't be to an overload level if you don't crank the volume controll all-the-way open on the tuner-pre.It certainly won't i... | |
| Burn in power cord by boiling water?? I'd also suggest adding some salt, pepper, squash, potato quarters with or without shell, tomatoes squeezed or ready tomato sause, bruscelle cabage, beans, and when it's done add some optional parsley or dill, soy sause to brew nice audiophile-veg... | |
| The truth about interconnects - can you handle it? Taz,I've no doubdt as you do that cables might/or might not sound different...The main fact I realy care about is pricing of cables that realy don't show any of the engineering or scientific mechanizm and might even rich the cost of a good speaker... | |
| Be-wire or not be-wire Jmlab Electra 926? 926 luvs juice and greatly benefits from high power.I believe that be- amping will even be much better.If you do have one powerful amp, than I believe that be- wiring wouldn't make sence in most of the cases.I use a bare wire threaded through both... | |
| Ebay Tube Blues If you have a pot that adjusts a grid negative voltage, you should make it less- negative and than you'll be able to get larger bias voltage(current).If you don't have it displayed than you should probably open the pannel or let tech do the work f... |
