Just have a custom one made. It's what I have done in the past for those without. No biggee.

Happy birthday Dave, hope you are having a great day!

Love geezer tunes

Yes, any resistance reduction lowers the damping factor. You sure do. Amp manufacturers typically use 8 ohms, on occasion 4 for their listed specs.

Hate to break it to you but you have achieved geezer status sometime ago Doc. It's ok though, you will be fine!

We think alike. Miss the manual shifting and wish I had one in my V8 coyote F150, that would be a game changer. I've been off of manual since 2019 after 35 plus years of driving manuals - not by choice. Is there a truck one can buy these days in the US with a stick? I don't think so...

Iowa will be one of the last unfortunately. I think we are surrounded on all sides now though with the exception of Nebraska on the West. Drive and break the law, same as it ever was here. If you need water unfit for swimming and high rates of cancer though, we got it. Man our politicians...

Big day for the old Ford

Where does one need to be to get a decent view?

Cooking is the key. And the longer it is, the more expensive it is, the better it is. Cryo first, then cook, sprinkle in a very large expense and wala, you have your masterpiece. Happy listening!

Welcome newbie. Fellow Iowan, catty corner from you as far SE Iowa as one can get.

My toast has never been better since I bi-wired my toaster. Once you go bi, hard to go back!

It's an awesome transformer. And sourced by Phase Linear. Power supply all new cept this portion.

With a Phase Linear transformer driving the amp

When it comes to capacitance, inductance and resistance, yes they make a difference. Beyond this, not so much.

No, it is A/B, push-pull

Yes as was said you get more distortion and typically less power, but you like it! Tubes can make something sound artificially more realistic by adding artifacts (a pleasing kind of distortion). Plus you get to pay more to operate them as maintenance and initial cost is higher. So you...

You can fuse your speakers, maybe a 4-6 amp fast blow for those speakers. Or you can add an output relay. Don makes sells em for your amp. https://www.wattsabundant.com/

We figured out there are better options.

Yes. Not common to passive filter before the amp but can be done. Marchand sells this type of crossover.

Thank you guys, was a goodun

For electrical cables and for IC's yes, they are similar and can be directional based on where the floating shield or wire is connected. Arrows typically run from attached side (source) to unattached side. No idea on speaker cables, have never owned a pair that wasn't just two unshielded...

Maybe but I haven't heard any mods beat the original yet.

A friend has original everything in his HPM100's and they sound quite good. Only one electrolytic in the whole shebang, and it's on the supertweeter which doesn't matter anyway. I've recapped a pair, and looking back I'd say, leave em be. Pioneer did a pretty good job. There is a reason...
