Hello fellow tweakers, The cover photo is of my Marantz ST-5 tuner. It's showing off its new solid oak cheeks. ( Not exactly D.I.Y. as my nephew made them in...
Hello Rod-T, Is there an initiation rite? Hmmmm, I think I may have missed it also. The power supply is not unimportant. As an extreme example your tuner wont...
Ciao Ray, all, it happens I have an old ST-500. Any findings on it, perahps with respect to other "shot out" tuners? TIA, Stefano ... Hello Rod-T, Is there an...
Hi Stephano, IMHO the ST-5(00) sounds very good. I do not want to turn this site into a second FM tuner forum so won't go into detail. This D.I.Y. tweaker...

Newbie, Spell out your requirements much more clearly: - Exactly what equipment do you have now? - What are you trying to do? - What is your budget? ...

No, don't delete your message on this forum. Let's leave things alone on FM tuners for the two weeks though. And Thanks! jim......
Hi tweakers, For those of you who never look..THERE IT IS! For those of you who always look before you flush...THAT'S IT! 8:-)) Sorry... the photo is of the...
The NEW cover photo is of some fine craftsmanship by Jim. RFM's comments about "flushing" have no application here. Something tells me it's just as attractive...
Guys, Apologies if this is too elementary for you gurus. I almost asked this on the fmtuner group list when someone brought up unbalanced tuner outputs, but...
p.s.: ultimately, I want to use the Citation I as my main preamp and (based on what I've heard) I'll be running some kind of tube amps for power. p.p.s.: what...
Eli, I've put two pics in our Photos section. The folder is titled Bob/Ray MPX. --- In diy_audio_tweaks@yahoogroups.com, "sunwire54" <elbow@...> ... unit?...
Hello Eli, The Dyna PAS-3 and H/K Citation I tube preamps have their outputs taken of the plates and I do believe you would run into problems with long ICs...
Hi Eli and Jim, Spend thrift that I am I'll throw in my $0.02 worth. #1) IMHO there are no hard and fast rules here because of the relativity of values in all...
I use a Classe audio power in my bedroom system, and it sound far better and quieter via its balanced inputs versus RCA, even when using RCA out from a pre ...
-Hello Steven, I've no arguement with what you hear and indeed I am quite sure you do perceive a difference. My understanding of XLR to RCA connection adaptors...
Hi Jim, I noticed that the Citation I didn't sound quite right in my system and I thought the long interconnects might be part of the problem, so I took it out...
Thanks for all the comments posted. How low or high do input and output Z need to be to count as "low Z" or "high Z"? Can you put some numbers to "high" and...
Ray, Jim, Eli, et al... I couldn't agree more with Ray's #4. For those that like to do some reading about cables, I found Steve Nugent's technical analysis of...
Most excellent link, sir! Thank you very, very much! Greg in Minneapolis _____ From: diy_audio_tweaks@yahoogroups.com [mailto:diy_audio_tweaks@yahoogroups.com]...
After reading that article, I have to wonder if the input impedance of the previously mentioned tube amp (Classe I, I think) is much lower on the XLR balanced...
Hi, I should have mentioned that in this instance it is the the amplifier which is benefiting from using the XLR sockets, It may be due to the amplifier being...
Hi Steve, You may be describing a Ground Loop condition; manifests itself with unbalanced (single-ended) interconnections far more often than with balanced...
Hello Eli, Yep you are correct. I dug out the Acro UL II schematic and there are quite a few differences from the link I posted. I also dug up the Heath W3M...
You can use DC instead of AC for 6 and 12 volt filaments. It's cheaper and easier to design if you don't. There is no RMS conversion. 6.3 volts DC would...
