    The 'White Album' project ... a mix tape endeavor (sort of)

    Helter Skelter was a precursor to Brian Eno's environmental wall music. I feel shocked and jolted, but them I'm set up for Long, Long Time's acoustic drone. The music had more emotional content that song writing skill.

    Now it really sucks...

    Not much talk here in Nashville about how he got it or the transmission route. When stars get sick, you wonder if they were in a session together.

    Adjust DCP timing?

    C2 and C4 ought to be changed. Now way the opamp need 15 seconds to 'settle". Note that the 470 ohm output termination resistor should bleed off any DC. I wonder too if your power amp's input has any DC on it? You may be discharging that voltage through the 470 ohm resistor when the relay closes?

    Bob Carver/ Stewart Hegeman

    thanks. I love this stuff. The wonderful Walsh tweeter used in many good Infinity speakers (and one dreadful, the 2000AXT) was an obvious copy of Hegeman's, it appears.

    Bob Carver/ Stewart Hegeman

    I would guess this article explains the origins of the Silver 7 tube version. Do the tubes really last 15 years? If the DC clamp idea makes output tubes last this long it would be considered a necessity nowadays.

    Pioneer SX 1080

    Balance controls on the 80 series Pioneers are troublesome, more so than the volume controls. if you have Deoxit, you'll be able to clean the control . Remove the top cover and position the red straw in the openings you see on the balance control. It will be a bit easier to reach if the receiver...

    I'm here and all is ok for my family and employees. My office manager's mother lives 1 block from the path, but she had 4 days with no power. Parts of nashville are a wreck, including an area hit in 2008. I went and helped in north nashville. 70% of the power poles were broken, and about 8...

    what are you listening to?

    This is stupid, but I've been hung up on The Dixie Chicks first CD. It is full of drive-by attitude. And Earl is still in the dark in that tarp...#metoo in action.

    List your latest piece of magnetic magnificence..

    In our used tape pile I found and played Porter Waggoner's "Blue Moon of Kentucky" recorded to red oxide BASF at 7.5 ips. The recording is in great shape and some of the music is lots of fun. I am not a hard core country guy either!

    Possible proper Snake Oil? New product from CHORD....

    I just scored some Cardas contact oil. I'd sell that stuff cheep, but, it looks like regular oil! As I ponder things, I wonder if the oil coats silver and copper preventing oxidation? I don't think anything would help gold, but I have no experience with Deoxit gold.

    It's not getting used and it was a gift from Lee, so it's going to one of you...

    Thanks for the update story. The two 1000 units I've heard had no issues. I bet the amp saturation they describe happens if the 1000 is put in a pre-out main in loop.

    6000 watts into 2 ohms.

    My 1000 watt amp is painted orange and looks like a basketball. No reflections from any surface (but the won't stay in one place, that's why I haven't gone to market with them)

    PL 200 Help Please!

    A shorted D4 reduces the constant current to the class A driver, basically rendering the differential input pair incapable of controlling DC offset. Replacing it should take care of the offset. I doubt anything else is bad. R34 is only for the meter range. Odd that it would burn, so look for a...
