| x-tronic 4000 soldering station Maybe I'm missing something here? Kester and WBT solders are now the same formulations/fluxes, and I should believe Kester over WBT(regarding WBT's product)? Of course WBT will still perform at 700 degrees F. The issue is whether it will, equally ... | |
| x-tronic 4000 soldering station Like I said, I've been soldering at slightly above the temp on the WBT 0800 spool, without any problems. I would not have bothered commenting, but for the fact that the OP is using the same solder. These guys recommend 250 degrees C, as the ideal ... | |
| x-tronic 4000 soldering station If you are using WBT 0800(4% Ag); the melting point is 178/180 degrees C, according to my spool's label. No problems, at all, soldering at just slightly above that temp. If the lower limit of a soldering station is 180 degrees, so what? You can al... | |

| What do I do with these Cartridges @Timlub- Here's something that you may find of interest: ( http://www.vinylengine.com/turntable_forum/viewtopic.php?t=22847 ) Personally; I would find something more rigid than a cactus needle, though weight is certainly a major factor. | |
| What do I do with these Cartridges The Ruby does not sound anything like a 17D. It didn't when they were both brought out(23R-$310.00/17D-$650.00), and the Diamond has been improved, more yet, as of late(17D3 version). Damaged Karat Rubies bring about $50.00(average) on eBay. The R... | |
| Speaker grill material, any real difference? @Wino- A thin bead, from a hot-melt glue gun. Work fast, as the glue cools quickly. Trim excess material with an X-ACTO #1. Done correctly; it's a whole lot neater than any other method. | |
| Help Me Name a New Band The 'Cramps' were somewhat popular. How about, 'Colon Spasm'? Alimentary, my dear Watson! | |
| Speaker grill material, any real difference? There is no cloth that is acoustically transparent. Use your brain. ANYTHING that is placed in front of a transducer, WILL(in one way/degree or another)have an effect on the sound radiated. Some speaker systems are tuned for their grille cloths, b... | |

| How much is a never used rca 11411 lc-1a worth If it is truly a NOS RCA 11411 lc-1a; I'll bet it would bring well over $1000 on eBay. | |

| How and when to check stylus condition. Buy a tube tester, and a microscope! Learn to use them both. BTW: A 200X scope would be barely adequate. 800X, much better( http://www.amazon.com/Microscope-Endoscope-Industrial-Biological-Inspection/dp/B005GJBDRO/ref=cm_wl_ce ) | |
| Does biamping w/ SS + tubes work? I've been actively bi-amping my systems(tubes/SS), since 1980. Was using a modded Dahlquist DQ-LP1 crossover MOST of that time. Now using a modded TacT RCS 2.2X. Always with transmission line woofers(very fast), and mostly planars(Acoustat & M... | |
| Replacing capacitors for my ARC VS110 If you appreciate an uncolored/transparent presentation; V-caps are the hot ticket(http://www.v-cap.com/teflon-capacitors.php). auriCAPs are another excellent, less pricey, alternative(http://www.soniccraft.com/auricap.htm). There are a number of ... |
