| Adcom GFA 555 hum. Probably a repair question. Make sure the grounds on the RCA's are not broken loose. A broken ground anywhere in the unit will cause that hum, but only when RCA's connected tells me it is a RCA problem. Either in the cables or in the amp. Just use your meter between the RCA'... | |
| Why is a 1.5-2 volt AC signal on my Neutral line? You have a ground loop problem between one or more units. Also if you have a separate line and breaker but use the same ground at the box, it is all still connected together. If you know this please forgive me but you must drive a new ground rod a... | |
| Need Expert Opinions On An Old System You can change your cables because they are all tone controls to a pure silver which will give you a little brighter sound. If your old room had hard products (wood, concrete, tile or etc.) on the floor, walls or etc. then that will make the music... | |
| New caps for Spectral DMC 20? Yes, better caps will make the sound better and yes, it should change it some depending on which caps you use. Most all caps, resistors, wire and etc. change the sound sometimes for the better and sometimes better but not what you was wanting. At ... | |
| Which attenuators do I want to use? I own a Classe DR-6R and I put a voltage divider in mine with a new Gold Point Attenuator and I love it. If you can solder I will send you some information on putting in a voltage divider or you can look it up online. It is just 2 top resistors of... | |
| Help Volume Crackle on Gryphon Integrated Amp Dirty pot, bad solder joint, transistor going out and etc. but hopefully it is just dirty if it has a pot if not then the next best thing is a bad solder joint. After that it can get a little more involved. While it is off turn the volume control ... | |
| Krell coupling capacitor question The coupling caps are not for sound they are for blocking DC that some tube preamps pass to the amp. Krell is direct coupled I believe and DC will cause it problems and could make it stop playing. | |
| Humming sub. One of the best places to search for this hum is in the video section of your system (TV, DVD, VCR, etc). While the sub is on with no music just hum unscrew your cable TV from the wall and see if that does not get rid of your hum. I had the same p... | |
| Review: Yamaha PX-3 Turntable The tonearm is controlled by light emitted diodes (LED's) and they are not working properly, but it can be fixed. These are some very nice sounding players and worth fixing. | |
| 1A fuse instead of 1/2A fuse: any problem? You can order those size fuses from most all the big electronic parts stores or maybe even you local electronic parts store or even Radio Shack. If it was a slow blow .5A you can use a 1A fast blow, but it is better to stay within the design. I ha... | |
| What happened to Linear Tracking Turntables The Mitsubishi LT-30 is the best vintage linear table I have ever heard and I had Yamaha PX-2 too. Both modified side by side with the same brand of cartridge. Both are very good especially at the price you can get them compared to the newer TT's.... | |
| Mcintosh transformer hum If you have a DAC or other digital equipment they could be causing this problem. Some brands will not work well with others and there is nothing you can do, because it is air borne. It could also be getting some DC voltage off the main power line ... | |
| How is my loading affecting my sound? Loading is another word for resistance/capacitance or total impedance. It will still play but when impedances' match it is like putting two of the same size pipes together, verses having a 4 inch feeder pipe and connecting it to a one inch pipe. T... | |
| Audiophiles DO NOT USE DHL-READ MY NIGHTMARE I have had the same problems with UPS and I spent months trying to get them to pay me. I even spoke with a manager with the insurance company that does their claims for them and she told me they are allowed to throw in the air or drop a box up to ... | |
| Where has the respect gone? It is fuuny I tried to sit here and think of something to say that would help this problem and this is all I could stayed with. Remember the rhyme that says; "sticks and stones may break my bones but WORDS can never hurt me". I guess we all know t... |
