| Top resistors Mr M- A wealth of info! | |
| Damsel in Distress with Jadis DPL Mr M- I stand corrected! I've only seen this thread. Happy listening! | |
| Looking for good quality vintage speakers Johnny- You mentioned the "headaches" associated with some older speakers, related to their foam surrounds and I concur completely. Then you suggest speakers with Heil Air motion Tweeters and all the headaches that they provided when the accordian... | |
| Top resistors Carbon composition resistors are some of the worst as far as noise. Here's a decent treatise on the subject: (http://www.aikenamps.com/ResistorNoise.htm) Note what he says about wire-wounds and inductance. As you mentioned Mr D: The carbon comps D... | |
| Dahlquist DQ12 replacement woofers? I don't blame you a bit. Dahlquist made some great(some revolutionary) stuff over the years. I had a DQ-LP1(modded) in my system for 26 years, 'cause I couldn't find a better Hi/Lo pass filter with which to bi-amp. Then I sold it for more than wha... | |
| Dahlquist DQ12 replacement woofers? If you keep your ear to the ground(when you're not listening to your music), you might find someone selling a pair of DQ-12s on eBay or in here, that hasn't discarded the woofers, or perhaps, still has the originals in the system. Don't ya hate ha... | |
| Audio Magic and other Power Line Conditioners Thanks for that info on the PulseGen guys! (Intriguing!) | |
| Top resistors I've been using Vishay Bulk Foils for a number of years, and have had excellent results. Supposedly wire-wounds are actually quieter, but there are other factors involved in the transparency of a resistor as well. Michael percy will match parts wi... | |
| Looking for good quality vintage speakers If I'm not mistaken(wouldn't be the first time if I was): Weren't those Cambridge systems designed by Henry Kloss? You could do a whole lot worse than a free system from one of the better, old-time designers. They won't compare with an original co... | |
| Damsel in Distress with Jadis DPL Mr M- If you'd bother to read the posts: I was trying to teach Vett(or anyone else that might be interested in NOS tubes) a little something about 6SN7s(a subject HE brought up). Or- isn't that allowed on your site? OH! What exactly do "knobs" hav... | |
| Speaker cables.. Budget again.. With a twist... I could care less, but- It wouldn't be easy! It seems I've entered into a battle of wits with a number of un-armed individuals. Enjoy yourselves!! | |
| Speaker cables.. Budget again.. With a twist... That we can measure amperage, impedance(or resistance), and capacitance is not in question. A music signal is much more complex than the AC current that it takes to light your light bulb, containing a plethora of frequencies, harmonics, ambiance a... | |
| Speaker cables.. Budget again.. With a twist... You'll notice that the scientific term for our understanding of electricity is "theory". There are understandings that we have in science that are termed, "law"(IE: 1st and 2nd "laws" of Thermodynamics, The "law" of Universal Gravitation) In Scien... | |
| Speaker cables.. Budget again.. With a twist... Obviously a degree in engineering(of any kind) does nothing for one's auditory perception. If I couldn't hear the difference (in sound stage width/depth, imaging, transparency, dynamics) between my Wireworld Eclipse cables and Home Depot extension... | |
| Audio Magic and other Power Line Conditioners Mr W- Give me a hint as to how this "new improvement" works(I won't be able to call until tomorrow PM). Obviously Jerry doesn't want us drilling out all those nifty pop-rivets. |
