| Help I need to locate a part Mr.s K & S- You'll note I prefaced my note with a, "supposedly". My brief glance at a substitution handbook at work was obviously TOO brief. Please accept my profound, "OOPS!" | |
| Help I need to locate a part (http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?lang=en&site=US&keywords=opa627) Supposedly- these are equivalents to the 2N5566(NPD5566). I'd prefer the Burr-Brown, the data-sheet of which can be downloaded here:(http://www.datashee... | |
| Note for those who buy used equipment... I've always dealt directly with the manufacturers of my equipment, and have yet to be asked about how it was obtained. Never have had a problem with support. Then again; Everything I have in my system was built in this country(except the tubes and... | |
| TAS Recommended CD Tweak…. Ozzy- Having actually read the "white paper" that George Louis wrote, and found that it does make a great deal of sense from a technical standpoint: I ordered the UBP last night, directly from him. He certainly does like to talk! This will be the ... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Mr D- And you know this because you have tried a variety of power cords and hi-end fuses, and found that they made no difference what-so-ever in your system, Right? Certainly you wouldn't make those statements without having established some facts... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Add me to the list of those that have recently installed Hi-Fi Tuning fuses, and found them to make a distinct, audible improvement(realism, not coloration). I tried the two AC power fuses in my Cary monoblocks a month ago, and will be replacing t... | |
| Top resistors Mr D- The tubes that you auditioned(all but the Russian, which I never tried), all brought artificial warmth to my system when used as phase splitters or drivers in my Cary monoblocks. Trust me when I say that if you had tried a NOS pair of TungSo... | |
| Question on NOS tubes bias doubt Hopefully your next pair will be in better condition. Happy listening Mr G! | |
| Question on NOS tubes bias doubt The tube becoming noisy that quickly also confirms Mr N's response regarding it's being about to expire. | |
| Top resistors Mr Y- Any components(passive or active) that can be replaced in the signal path(or power supply) to provide a more transparent conduit (and gain) for the signal will have a cumulative effect. Many of us desire to provide as transparent a path, fro... | |
| Question on NOS tubes bias doubt "Transconductance" IS how you measure the "gain" of an electronic device(tube, op-amp or transistor). You'll note that it is determined by finding the difference between the voltage at the input and the current at the output of the device in quest... | |
| Threshold and Magnepan Mr J- Personally, I used a Dahlquist DQ-LP1(slightly modded) for bi-amping planars(Acoustats and Maggies) in my systems for about 25 years. They are still available on the used market and very popular. See page 13 of this newsletter for a little i... | |
| Threshold and Magnepan Mr J- Keep in mind that the MMG rolls off quickly below 80hz. If you have a hunger for the bottom octaves while listening to "all types of music": You may have to consider a subwoofer. The MG12 or 1.6's wouldn't suffer that lack. All are excellent... | |
| Question on NOS tubes bias doubt The Ken-Rads are some of the best VT-231's out there, but like anything else: They're not always perfect. You bought a pair of unmatched tubes. A slight mismatch shouldn't be noticable. That you have to compensate with a balance control says they'... | |
| why are two subs harder to place than full range? Good subwoofers belong in the corners of your room so they can properly load it. Your mains belong out further into the room to avoid boundary effects(study 'The Allison Effect'). The problem then is the time alignment between the subs and the mai... |
