Good morning Ray, Tweaks here have slowed as the main system is kind of set. The second system is in disarray. Sold my Acoustats and have bought Snell type C/V...
My first Scott Nixon DAC in it's new housing. An oak cassette holder. Yes Scott, there is lots of ventilation top and bottom. Blu-Tac type material damping and...

"embarrasingly inexpensive cable" What's embarrassing is I can't spell embarrassingly. No this is good stuff and it's only $15. Maybe we need to open up to...
Well put Ray. My wife likes the idea of a home theatre though, and her daughter is asking what TV we are getting for it. Well, that stuff just doesn't happen...
I want to listen to talk radio at work using a tuner without an earphone jack and an earbud. I did try wiring the earbud directly to the line out, but...
My suggestion would be to go to Radio Shack and get an Optimus SA-155 (RS stock number 31-1957) amplifier, or some other similar low-cost low-power amplifier. ...
-Hello Garland, There are a few low cost small devices out there. MCM www.mcminone.com part # 55-6182 is a small headphone amp going for $ 26.25. Radio...
Hi Group: Does anyone in here own of these mitsubishi or JVC HD tape VCRs? I am thinking about one; I am NOT interested in any sort of hard drive storage...
Thanks Ray and Roger. I am going to try picking up a high impedance (2 kohm) earphone used by crystal radio builders and connect it directly to the line out...
-Hello Garland, The tuners that I have worked on typically had fixed outputs of .3v to .7v and variable outs of 0 to 2X fixed. Out Z varies around 3K to 5K...

The Sunher Coax you found is a very premium cable. If you have not chopped it up yet its worth a bit on eBay. They are one of the primary suppliers to Agilent...
I know this is an old item but in the interest of reply and passing on old stories what you described is the reverse of how the Koss ESL headphones were...
-Hello Demian, It sure would be interesting to know koss's EQ values. To emulate the "sound" of a speaker you would also have to include the acoustic ...
No I haven't cut it yet, but I confess I had not thought of selling it on ebay. I'll give it some thought. I could use some $$ to finance other audio...

Hello, 80 watts is a lot of power in the tube world IMO. I agree with a LOT you say below except for the 1570s. Don't reget that sale. They may be powerful but...
I have been reading alot about whether or not to isolate the Power transformer from the chassis. There seems to be a difference in opinions on the subject, so...
I raise the transformer on Kenwood KT-7500 tuners as a standard during the mod process. It usually drops the AC voltage standing on the chassis a few volts....
Do you ground the transformer frame to the star ground after raising it or do you keep it totally isolated. Also, do you orient the AC in to minimize the stray...
Jim, This is a newby question but I'll ask it anyway because I always wondered about this. When you say you electrically isolate the transformer do you mean...
