test

Hi all, looking for help in trying to get a NAD C162 (circa 1999 - board N6C1162DD01 DC741130) up and running. About me, setup and goals: I’m using this project to learn more about analog electronics and would love that it could be fixed but not too worried if it can’t. I took some EE...

Dim Bulb Tester Build First, What is a dim bulb tester? It is a current limiting device. It is used to protect a device that is in unknown condition or suspected of not working for any reason. If the device under test (DUT) has a short, the device will be protected from drawing too much...

I'm probably in over my head again, that's why I'm turning to AK. I am endeavouring to repair a crossover that I'm sure is faulty, somehow. It's for a Rogers LS7. I'm sure it's faulty because I've tested the woofer and tweeter and they're producing sound when a signal is applied directly. All...

Hi AKers. I hope you can help me with a question that has nagged me for a while. Among other gear, I have a .08% THD 5x120wpc-rated receiver. It just doesn't seem that clean when it's turned up and I would like to verify whether it is performing to its ratings. I'm sure there are high end test...

New to Schottky diodes. From reading, I gather they are low-forward-voltage, fast switching diodes, with more reverse leakage than silicon diodes. Forward voltage drop (Vf) should be around 0.35V, and they should block in reverse. There's a plethora of info online but I haven't come across a...

I picked up the CBS Labs STR-112 test record but it didn't come with a manual. Does anyone have a scan of the manual or know where I can find one? Thanks!

We all have traditional test gear like sine wave generators etc. And some of us have PC based gear like O scopes. I even have some cheapo kit stuff bought for pennies where I dont see how they can make money on the kit plus parts plus shipping :) The new thing I'm trying out are apps on my...

Hello everyone, So my dad is all into tubes, like many of you too :biggrin: and his current set up is the following: Fisher 500C, Infinity RS4b and Pioneer CS-8B Can anyone point out to a few amps (preferably vintage stuff, but not necessary) that he could use to drive those Infinity and...

Hello AK'ers, When ever I add/replace a new piece of Gear or make any tweak to my system, I have a favorite "goto" Album I use to listen and evaluate the change. If you happen to do the same as me: Please list Artist, Album Name, Media Type, Record Label, Record Label number and Picture of...

Well, changed the cables on the turntable, got the proper stylus and cartridge, played a CD4 album, had 4 channels, now I guess I need a Marantz cd4 test record to adjust the CD-400B. Anyone have one they can loan out for a week or so? Thanks Rich

It is reported that there were only 12 of these made. I thought you'd like to see one. This is "Rubber Soul". I also have the "Revolver" album as MFSL an Test Pressing
