I really appreciated this message. We all (unquestionably including me!) mis-speak ourselves occasionally, but it is too rare a thing for someone to say so...
Hello there, i would like to know where can i source the eht copper thin foil for my 57? Does a regular electronic shop or local hardware carry these items? ...
I don't think anyone has responded yet so I'll ask what you mean by the "eht copper thing foil" I have been inside most of my 57's and don't see copper foil...
Recently got a secondhand unit for my system 909, 99 Pre and CD-P ;auto and manual buttons for the tuning seem inoperative on the unit, all other buttons...
I think the foil mentioned is the conductive foil used inside the bass panels...I've used self adhesive aluminium foil tape cut to size (with silver conductive...
Ok, then there is nothing ht special about the foil. The wire is another matter. Most ordinary wire has insulation rated at 600 volts. With 6000 volts on the...
Hey All Any idea if a passive preamp could be used sucessfully with a 606 (mk1 I think) These days I'm only using a couple of line level sources (CD&DAB tuner)...
Graham: To answer your question, do note that upstream & dowstream components of the audio chain need to match perfectly for the passive controller to work...
I mentioned the amp rating of the wire to help others identify something I've tried and tested. The insulation is fine, but you can believe that or not. As for...
Thanks for the info Arup, though I think the Audio Synthesis is a bit outside my range I mean £1200 for a volume control is a lot! I had thought of looking at...
Graham, you should look at the Luminous Audio Axiom Passive - made to order with your component's specs. They make 3 types: 1. Axiom Stereo RCA version:...
Spark Plug Wire is very good HT Wire. You can find the copper stranded type (non resistive) quite easily. Yhey are usually good to a minimum of 50KV. Steve ......
Thanks very much, have sent an e mail to see what's what but you are right the price does look very good :-) I'm exploring all my options right now Cheers ...
Interesting offering. I'm considering one too to drive my 11L's through two NetAudio modified 303's. However, Axiom asks the following questions: Efficiency of...
Henk: Nice to know you are taking up on my recommendation of the Luminous Audio Axiom passive pre. Do consider the single-input, single-output RCA version with...
Great suggestion. Wish I had thought of it when mine were apart. To color code it just slip different color heat shrink tubing near the ends so you can easily...
Rarely mentioned but invaluable sources of parts and materials are the several radio rallies and shows held up and down the country. Many have bring and buy...
I just recently joined. I have a pair of ESL-63 speakers. The volume on one of them was lower than the other and by simply switching connections to the...
A likely explanation is that one of the panels has died. The only fix is a new panel if that is what has happened. This in fact happens quite often. Another...
Hi! Im new in this group! My name is magnus, and i live in denmark. I have two quad 303, one with 33, and on with a passive diy preamp. I surely liked the...
Hello Magnus & All Forumers: Welcome to the "select few" who use their Quad Power amps with a passive pre. The improvement over the standard active pre is ...
... No idea where this idea would come from. The output impedance of the 33 is 1k. It doesn't matter what the source impedance is into the 303 as long as it's...
"As the input impedance of the 303 is 22kohm, i was told that the outputimpedance of the preamp, shoul be about 11 kohm." 11kohms (PRE) -----> 22kohms (303) ...
Hey all Probably a dumb question but how do you open a 606? I'm assuming you first unscrew the rear panel, then what? I dont want to trash the thing before...
Thats was kind of the answer i was looking for.. But can you explain to me, how that can be? Do we just want the biggest difference? In a danish forum, i was...
The standard these days is high in, low out. Many years ago in professional circles it used to be 600 ohms in and out. It has never been out = 1/2 in; this...
To Open the 606: 1. Unscrew the 4 philips head screws at the Rear Panel of the amp. The entire panel will then be loose. 2. Carefully "pry out the metal strip"...
in total agreement. period! Pro engrs still do 600 in, 600 out balanced XLR differential. Thats the industry norm. Home audio - high/very high in, low/very low...
