| Condition this baby Will, since your amplifiers output is based on the rail voltages present, reducing available power to the amp will reduce its' potential for output. As such, LARGE voltage sags can become audibly noticeable if standing on the throttle due to reduc... | |
| Citation 23 Tuner Display: Where to get them? Brandon, if you buy a generic learning remote, i can lend you one of my remotes to program it with. That is, so long as you PROMISE to send it back ( prepaid ) : ) Sean> | |

| Mail Service Canada from US, "Who Shot the Eagle" Recently had two packages ( used LP's ) sent to me via "media rate". For those that don't know, this is the cheapest way to ship books, records, tapes, etc... This works fine so long as you aren't in a hurry for them. The USPS website basically st... | |
| Copper Deterioration? One of my "projects" is going to be testing and comparing various "tweaks" to conductors. I'd like to take several identical pieces of wire trimmed to the same length, bare both ends and then treat them with various "contact enhancements" that i h... | |
| Turntable Hmmmmm Try checking this thread out. If you don't feel up to the task, try reversing any non-polarized two pronged power cords in the outlets. AC polarity is VERY critical with phono systems. Sean>http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?htech&1014... | |
| jumpers versus golden plates A simple solution is to replace the factory supplied jumper with short section of wire. This costs next to nothing and is typically a step forward. One could change gauges and materials ( copper, silver, etc... ) or even swap between solid and str... | |
| Active crossovers To add to the post above, most amps are pretty linear in what is called their "gain curve". This means that what you put in is amplified at the same level regardless of how much drive is applied. To put things into generic numbers to make things e... | |
| Guitar Alphabet. Please fill out unused letters... Some corrections: John Paul Jones was the bass player for Led Zeppelin whereas Jimmy Page played guitar.Pere Ubu is the name of a band, not an individualJah Wobble is a bass playerJack Bruce is a bass playerI don't think that Steve Vai ever played... | |
| How does length affect power cable sound quality? Since some cords use specific geometries to achieve desired impedance characteristics, it is possible that altering length could alter their overall performance. With that in mind, doubling the length of a cord could double the effective capacitan... | |
| What does this mean? Bob and RW, thanks for bringing those points up. I wasn't familiar with how some EC gear was set up nor did i know about the European color codes. You both taught me something today : ) I know that the Goertz micropurl IC's make use of three condu... | |
| Outlet shoot out Has anybody tried the outlets that Purist Audio offers ? If i remember correctly, these are cryo treated Leviton's that have the contacts coated with copper. Sean> | |
| Rec. vs. DVD: who should be responsible for DAC? If the receiver does not have an analog pass through, it would simply take the analogue output from your DVD player's DAC section and reconvert it into digital. If that is the case, skip the audio outputs of the DVD altogether and simply use the D... | |
| Condition this baby What wattage is the Tripplite surge suppressor / power line conditioner rated for ? It is possible that you are drawing too much power through it, which causes audible distortion. I would check this aspect of the situation first before jumping int... | |
| Citation 23 Tuner Display: Where to get them? Noel, i sincerely doubt that the displays are dead ( although it is possible ). Have you tried changing the light bulb BEHIND the display ??? Sean> |
