Sorry Jim I am not buying it... No tubes or tube sockets on the table??? And all I see is Solid state….Hummmm now if there was a trace of tubes I mite have...
UH well... Frank... you know what? Well, OK, She's working on the transistor stuff! OK?! My eyes are too bad for the small stuff now. I'll do the tube stuff...
Hello, I have two transports that have become intermittant, actually, a Rega Planet CD player and a Parasound C/BD-2000 belt-drive transport. They will mute...
I like her too. Is she available for travel to Houston? Does she know how to operate a table saw and router? I need help with some speaker projects. I had to...
Now is it Frank or Deke? But at least the last name is perfect. Rivers. Deke, i cleaned the laser on a friend's Parasound belt drive and it works now. Q0Tip...
Actually the Rega should still be a pretty good transport…Parasound was never know for making or being a good transport. But back to what Jim said… It's...
I disagree with modern DVD players making good CD transports. Even some modern "good" dvd players make pretty poor comparisons to decent proper CD transports. ...
It was a Panasonic DVD/CD player model DVD-S47. I bought a silver one at best Buy for about $80. The color saturation on movies bested a fairly expensive...
Guys, Thanks for the tips on my transport issues. I will try cleaning the lenses properly and see what happens. Meanwhile I was using a new Oppo DV-970HD...
Hello Frank, That OPPO looks like a good player too. Elvis as Deke Rivers huh? I remember that movie now. Another Movie Rivers was Gary Cooper who played...
NO, lil'RFM, NO! Don't do it. OK, let's fess up and each tell our shocking tales. RFM was about 14 and knew his electronical stuff. For instance speaker leads...
That offending radio can be seen on e-bay!! # 300014593449. I remember the three RF tubes in their tin sheds and the three-gang tuning cap that I could tweak...
Hi Jim, Thanks for your previous tips on cleaning the laser lenses with a cotton swab. I used some anti-static computer screen/monitor cleaner on the swab and...
As yet another followup to my earlier post, this is how it sits: I played the Rega Planet by itself for an hour after I cleaned the lens and it performed...
Sorry the cleaning wasn't a fix on your Rega. But keep filtering. I definitely believe in filtering and protection. Especially on digital gear. I know at least...
Hi Ray. Here are two real quick. I had rebuilt a pair of Dynaco power amps. Redoing the power supply. They were tested, played and then left (unplugged) on the...
Does anyone here have first hand experience with the old Genesis Digital Lens? http://www.stereophile.com/digitalprocessors/824/ Interesting article there. I...
Thanks for your input, I took one of my Panasonic DVD S47's to his house and hooked it up to his Genesis (but no music listening). And it measured a ...
Hi Jim, Are there any downsides to adding 470K - 1M bleeders across them big caps? Vaguely remember reading an article touting that as mandatory for stacked...
That's a good question. If the Genesis can read it, surely some test equipment can. I don't know. Because the speed continously changes on a CD, maybe there is...
I sure hope not. I've been doing it for at least 15 years. Two 350 volt caps for a work safety margin of 700 volts is nice to have. If memory serves, the...
... Hash: SHA1 ... Not really any downsides -- the power dissipated being so low. It is just good practice to always install a bleeder resistor from B+ to...

Two downsides that I could see would be heat radiation (350 volts across 470k is .26 watt, just a bit too much for a quarter watt resistor), and noise. How...
