| My new apartment has no 3 prong plugs with ground @Mr J- I should have prefaced/qualified that statement with, "In most older homes:" OOPS! | |
| break-in--bane or boon ?? INEVITABLE! | |
| My new apartment has no 3 prong plugs with ground There will be two mains fuses, at the top of your electrical panel. Read the sizes on those, to determine how much amperage is available, per phase. Outlet boxes in older homes ARE NOT USUALLY grounded. Especially if the wiring is knob and tube. U... | |
| Need Help with Acoustat Model 4 speakers It could easily be that the capacitors need to be replaced. | |
| Heeeelp New used BAT Vxi3 - Hisssssssss Preamp and Phono tubes, because of the gains involved, should always be tested/certified, "Low Noise", "Preamp", "Platinum Grade", etc. Hiss(tube rush) may result otherwise. The other mentioned noises, during play or warm-up, are not normal and in... | |
| Some Thought on Cables and Tweaks Mr G: Here's one company that has/does ( http://www.analysisplusinc.com/ )( http://www.analysis-plus.com/design_whitepaper.html ) ( http://www.analysis-plus.com/design_main.html ) | |
| Another cheater plug thread ATTENTION- Anyone with Dynaco, ARC, McIntosh, Marantz or Conrad Johnson(tubed components), that lack a grounded power cord: Keeping/using that equipment is dangerous and not in your best interest. Send it to ME, IMMEDIATELY(I'm your friend and wil... | |
| longest feasible rca run A lot depends on the voltage/drive capability of the equipment at the source, and the sensitivity(output vs voltage in) of the driven end. Then there is the issue of noise sources(RFI/EMI) along the distance(the primary reason for the use of balan... | |

| Risk using amp Wattage than speaker rating? Sounds more as though they were trying to produce low bass freqs, in a pro environment, with a 12" driver. Too much EQ, too small a driver, and(as Mr C intimated)exceeded it's X-Max. 12" make good mid-bass drivers, in pro applications. 30 Watts is... | |
| Fuses that matter. If one places the wrong fuse in the wrong location(too HIGH an amperage rating); it IS possible for the circuit to be destroyed, should a fault occur(a harder lesson learned). Care must be taken, to select the proper fuse for the application. It's... | |
| Fuses that matter. @Wig- KUDOS for not allowing the prevention of your experimentation/listening tests, by the daunting technological challenge of changing those fuses. =;^) | |
| Fuses that matter. With a 30 day, no risk, money-back guarantee; no one has an excuse not to try them. SR is obviously quite confident. | |
| Cap life span? Although Tantalum caps are considered, "electrolytic"; there is no liquid electrolyte(totally different construction) to dry out, or expand and blow out the vent. Two major reasons for electrolytic failure. Solid polymer(ie: PEDOT) electrolytics a... |
