| cartridge loading This subject has been covered extensively in this site. Just fyi, the optimum load for your V will be 75 ohms +/_ 50% (probably more toward minus, like around 50 or 55 ohms.)You can write to Speedy who has one (I have a W) You'll have to email me ... | |
| Budget Power Cords For Tube Mono Amps ? Go to HD and get some 10AWG Carol cord. It's a twisted three conductor stranded copper heavy jacket cord. While you're there, get a nice hospital AC plug (they even have right angle ones at HD!) You'll have to order an IEC plug for the other end f... | |
| Nuforce with Stillpoints ERS fabric I have ers everywhere (one of the Stillpoints people is a friend ;-) but I don't think that would solve your problem.But before you ditch that lovely amp (or the cute dog) could you describe the connection(s) between your TT/TA and the phono pre, ... | |
| What would cause this to happen to a preamp? If it's not a "nervous protection circuit" as Dewald mentioned, then something like an intermittent short (or even an intermittent open circuit) in the IC is overloading the preamp and causing it to shut down. At least those are the only two EXTER... | |
| What would cause this to happen to a preamp? In your description, you talk about the preamp shutting down AND you talk about the amp shutting down too. I'm a bit confused. Did they both shut down? | |
| Is the e-mail sounds like a 'SCAM' ? I think from now on, all such emails should be forwarded to the Dept. of Hom'd Sec. as evidence of possible terrorist activity ;--) | |
| Mark Levinson tech specs You can probably get a service manual from Levinson. They are very prompt in responding. Go to:http://www.marklevinson.com/support/support-form.aspOr phone: 781-280-0300and ask to speak to a service tech. | |
| Is the e-mail sounds like a 'SCAM' ? I agree with the cautions about forgeries. And apply some logic: How does a secretary issue a USPS MO or a cashier's check, huh? Also, that kind of spelling and grammar screams scam ;--)It's an interesting and unusual approach, because the person ... | |
| Confused on cable, interconnects and ac cord? I think one of the best bangs for the buck (both speaker and IC's) is (used) Straightwire Maestro (or Maestro II, they're basically the same). It's a classic neutral cable that used to be top of the line; and it's still in production. Doesn't (any... | |
| Anyone else regenerating A/C? Zaikesman -- you raised an interesting point about biasing tube amps which is always a pain because of fluctuating 120V. I remember I'd bias my amps when the power was highest so the bias wouldn't go over without my knowing it.About PC's: When I o... | |
| Anyone else regenerating A/C? Yeah, I should look for some online and here in Tucson (where we have some GREAT used vinyl stores).All the Nonesuch records I have, I bought new in the 60's -- for some reason I can't remember what they cost.. | |
| Anyone else regenerating A/C? If I am indeed "Nonesuch", I should sue because I was here first!Anyway, the brick wall unit is effective and doesn't require replacing fried MOV's (that's what's in PS's "replaceable module") and it's unfortunate they can't make one without the i... | |
| Make sure your speakers spikes are coupled Welcome to the party guys -- but I'm really glad someone brought this issue up AGAIN! It's important that new audiofiles be exposed to these basic concepts, and too often people (meaning us OLD audiophiles) just assume everyone knows these things.... | |
| Exactpower Ep15a or PS-Audio p500 Zaikesman, I think with power amps, the most important issue is the AC energy transfer. Obviously a good 10AWG PC is a plus, as well as good available AC. With balanced power units, I think the essential feature is common mode noise rejection, esp... | |
| Exactpower Ep15a or PS-Audio p500 Zaikesman, I said pretty much what you did (about the new PS) on another thread. It has a lot of bells and whistles and features with fancy names, but only the variable power supply is really new. Still handles noise with filters and inductors -- ... |
