I have been staring at 4 Arcol 300W 8 Ohm resistors trying to decide how I wanted to proceed, and of all the options I have seen in this thread this connection scheme provides the most flexibility with the least effort. Thanks for the post Bill!
Does anyone have the specs/schematics for a Trancendance 3 Fet Valve 500 amplifier by Van Alstine? I picked up the amp and a matching Trancedance 3 Fet Valve Preamplifier a while back, and would like to read through the documentation if it is available somewhere. Im guessing this amp is from...
I knew someone would ask that. Ear height is about 40" from floor, panels are 31" from floor and are 24"x48". I have not decided if this seating arrangement is final so I put the panels high on the wall so a loveseat would fit underneath.
That being said I have two additional panels built...
It took me a while to get it set up since it was used, preconfigured, and needed an update. I still haven't heard it play a note, but I am in the process of deciding where its going to go in the system. I know it talks on my network and plays the songs I tell it to by reading the...
That's the story as I understand it too. My brother in law has had a pair of these since new, and they have held up very well over the past 25ish years. I wouldn't spend $300 on them though, although I have heard plenty of $300 speakers that wouldn't touch them.
Online estate sale. Scored a nice NAIM NDX streamer for low $$$ since the picture was awful. Hooked it up to the home WIFI, and it is streaming spotify with remote control from my phone and tablet after a quick firmware update. Very lucky buy. No remote, but the android app looks nicer...
I have powered my 9's with a Parasound 2250 that would do 400W into 2 ohms and at higher levels it would go into protection in "extended mode". It ran OK in the other mode.
I have used my Krell KSA-80 to power them in extended mode. I can make the Krell go into protection, but it has to be...
I put the arms back on after a couple coats of the dye. The "re-coloring" balm in the kit dried quick and blends in very well with the rest of the chair. I am happy with the results. The grease is gone, and the arms match the chair.
You could be right. Worst case I have to get the arms recovered, but I'm kind of finicky about where I put my arms/hands and the grease was grossing me out.
We will see if this works out. So far I'm not worried. First dye coat, just on the end to match shade....
