| Stillpoints Apopira, are you referring to the mini-risers, or the full size ones? And what are you using the SP's for/under? I'm very knowledgable about using Stillpoints as well as the Stillpoints Component Stands. | |
| Mixed driver tube for Mcintosh MC275 Tzh21y --1.) I don't think there is anything at all wrong with your hearing! I'm 68 and I KNOW my hearing isn't what it used to be (to say the LEAST!!) however my ability to LISTEN is better than ever ;--) I wish I could go over your system with y... | |
| Mixed driver tube for Mcintosh MC275 Well Tzh21y, I don't know how you worded your inquiry to the McIntosh tech, nor did I hear his response. However, I'm a little suspicious of his words as you reported themtheir tech support told me that V-1 is definitely in the signal path when us... | |
| Mixed driver tube for Mcintosh MC275 Tzh21y, do you know how to read schematics? I'm guessing you don't, because if you can make a statement like "I don't care what the schematic says" etc., then you'll never understand that there is a cause-effect relationship behind ALL audio exper... | |
| Mixed driver tube for Mcintosh MC275 I wrote the post Mr. Yewlock quotes. There are only three electrical differences between the Mk IV and the MkV:1. The Mk IV is a regular lead based chassis. The Mk V is lead free. This is nice for the environment (maybe) but there have been some f... | |
| kt88 tube placement Rojo, There is no convection inside a vacuum tube because there is no air or other gas to convect, so all internal elements (except the filament/cathode) are at the same temp, assuming all the operating voltages are within spec.Besides, not all KT... | |
| kt88 tube placement Lemme 'splain Lucy! If you take the tube in your hand and hold it horizontally, with pin 4 at the top and pin 8 at the bottom, (or vice versa!) you will notice that the plate inside the bottle has its narrow face(s) on the 'top' and 'bottom', whil... | |
| Glue to attach speaker cloth to plastic? Magfan, you're quite right, 3M 77 can get away from you if you're not careful ;-) However, here are a couple of tips that should help; actually they apply to all aerosol preparations:1. Shake, shake shake! For a full two minutes before use and for... | |
| Am I limiting current to my amps and sub? OK, so you have two D.O.'s (duplex outlets) are they both on the same circuit? My advice would be to turn them each into a 20A dedicated circuit, if there's room on your panel for two more 20a breakers. Tip: when you create two or more ded. cts., ... | |
| Am I limiting current to my amps and sub? To avoid poor energy transfer (caused by filter chokes that limit amplifier dynamics) only a regenerator will do. The PS Audio Power Plant Premier sucks IMO (and it's not big enough for your needs anyway). APS PurePower now makes a 20 A model http... | |
| Glue to attach speaker cloth to plastic? To do the job properly, you need to remove the whole piece of cloth from the frame. If it already came loose on its own in some spots, the glue is old and you should have no trouble pulling it loose without damaging the cloth. If you start, and si... | |
| least harmful light dimmer Ditto Lutron.They were the first dimmers that didn't radiate RFI all over the place (even their line cord dimmers are quiet.) Naturally, they cost the most too ;-) | |
| SMEV set up problem....help needed Axel,I use a miniature calibrated bubble level -- mainly because it sits on top of the headshell more securely. But I could use a small spirit level, like the one van den Hul supplies with his cartridges. Either way, I could do so with a much high... | |
| Can the music you play effect your electrostats? I'm not a Stax maven, but I know tubes and stats, and my first guess is you might have a bad tube in your SRM-T1S. I think that unit uses at least one twin triode (two tubes in one bottle) and if the two sides don't match, you could get a channel ... | |
| SMEV set up problem....help needed Hi Axel, the three items you mention are all factors, but I take question the degree (literally and figuratively!) of their impact.1.) Less than a half degree on the tonearm azimuth, and easily dialed in with a small spirit level across the headsh... |
