    Sprung Forward

    There goes the freakin' govt again, stealing an hour of my sleep!! (*&(*&rrrggh!! Anywhoo... For those who don't know how (or never bothered to find out).. go into your control panel, and under "Board Settings" should be an option to enable/disable DST. For reference, it's 12:12PM...

    New speaks.. now time to find the synergy again hehe

    Yeah so I said heck.. how about these new guys here.. (not my pic.. I'll get one here shortly.. ) Polk Monitor 70's. They can definitely handle all 275 watts, and then some. Some dude I was reading said the tweeters were fragile and he blew his with his 100 watt "chump amp" (hmmm...

    Ok all you AP fans, try this...

    I just noticed something that seems pretty odd. If you have "A Valid Path", listen to the "Mammagamma '04" song. Now watch the excursion on your woofers, very carefully... Think about how much excursion you're seeing versus how much sound's coming out. For me... I think I see way more...

    A deck with a front panel azimuth adjustment...

    You know what would really be handy with these travelin' tapes is a deck with an easy access azimuth adjustment. Aside from the "obvious" (the big ticket Nak's like the Dragon and whatnot), what other decks are out there that have good sound and an azimuth adjustment on the front?

    Total Digital Heresy

    Ok, so I gone and "done it" here. No preamp, and I have a tape deck just because I like to play with tapes every now and then. Aside from that, here's what the "sound" here now looks like... I have two sound cards in operation. The internal one is strictly to feed the tape deck should I...

    Jerry's "Gonna Rebuild me PLWO 1000" thread

    Ok, so I am going to see about taking the PLWO 1000 Lee built for me, and rebuild it with all the "tricks" Mr. Lee "a-learnt" since then. :cheers: One thing that has me concerned is how we did have that one emitter resistor disconnected, so the first thing I'd like to do is just "verify" all...

    It was just the fuse.. again?

    All's I gotta say is HMMMMM on this one... When I first got a hold of my M-80 Yamaha, I plugged it in, fired it up, and it promptly blew the main 10A fuse on it. Out of desperation I put another one in, and it worked fine for at least a year until about a month or so ago. So I got a pack...

    Who's read that Albarat series so far?

    Anyone read that Albarat series of books by Clive Barker? Pretty trippy stuff with a lot of imagination. Just wonderin...

    Well, so I gotta Crown big hummer amp...

    And I've put about ..err.. 50 bucks or so. Here's what's been done.. 1. Speaker outputs now heavy binding/banana posts. 2. Rerouted the main ground with a heavy 8 gauge cable. 3. Input op amps replaced with Burr Brown OPA4134's (they're the quad equivalent of the OPA2134's). I tried the...

    More tape "theory" - the dolby symbols on the meters...

    Ok, so I've figured out that for some decks the "Dolby Level" is -1 db, while for others it's +3 db. And it's marked as such on the meters. My question... Why have the mark on the meters in the first place? Is it because when Dolby is being used, we shouldn't exceed that level or ...

    Jer's PLWO - Out of "the yards" again

    Finally after a couple of months, got me PLWO up and running again. Sounds REALLY good. Here's what's been done.. 1. New DC Protect PCB - Old ones were eating too much current from the main PCB, these have their own PS and 48 volt relays. It also cuts out immediately now, since it's...

    You may be right, I may be crazy...

    BUT... I can't help but ogle this guy here... http://richmond.craigslist.org/ele/2698927800.html Seems like the going price for it, and it's definitely no slouch. If I ever do get another one, linear/tangential is a requirement for me. That IGD crap drives me nuts. Yeah, I'm not much...

    He followed me home, Dad.. can I keep him?? :cheers: Heheh.. just kiddin. As ya can see, we gots ourselves a right channel again. It was touch n go, but a little bit of pcb repair did the trick. Now methinks the speed is off tho. I'll have to measure it, but it seems a tad bit fast...

    Did he knock off a circuit city truck 20 years ago?

    Has anyone seen that guy on ebay, sahand0? He's that guy up north with all that NIB stereo gear. I'm just curious... where'd he get all that stuff? I'm sure legally of course, but there's gotta be a good story behind that, eh? Anyone know?

    New guy on the block - Teac V-2030S

    Well, methinks I got a deck "that doesn't piss me off" (need a trademark for that). Surprisingly, it's a single capstan 3 header. Teac V-2030S. I believe it was born in 1997 or so. Personally.. I think that makes a difference when it comes to finding "the one". Less wear on the heads, I'd...
