You could always put in a GFI box, but thats certainly no replacement for a proper safety ground. Not gonna solve any noise issues, but if the sprinklers go off, at least the circuit trips fast. ABSOLUTELY NOT. You must have a proper ground for a GFCI to operate correctly. Oftentimes, the metal box...

Check out www.welbornelabs.com, and go to the kit section. they have a number of different HV tube power supply kits, one of which provides regulated flament power as well as regulated HV.

Hey Soundguy: Isn't true, though, that aluminum is better than steel in RF shielding, but not as good as soft steel in EM shielding -esp. magnetic fields, so that you have to decide whether RF or EM/magnetic fields are more important in one's application? I also believe the Parmetal 12 series has pa...

I have ordered repeatedly from these vendors (as well as partsconnexion).

All are fine, but have a different focus in their offerings.

This is a GREAT deal. My intermediate and high schools both had Dynaco gear, with Empire turntables, and Wharfedale!!!! speakers with sand-filled cabinet walls (double-walled, in other words). You should, however, be prepared to do a lot of work, at last replacing the PS caps, and perhaps some of th...

Within Class A, there is a distinction between Class A1 and Class A2. At this point, i can't remember the precise definition of each. Maybe Soundguy can help. The theory of Class A that most amp designers are trying to achieve is to avoid cross-over distortions of various types. The most insidious i...

I just listened to selections from the Miramax collector's edition of HDN, and now I can hear the phasing/"chorusing" in at least three songs - title track, "I Should Have Known Better," Can't Buy Me Love." Only watched once before with my daughter (12 years old) and we were more focused on the imag...

Is there only one version of the DVD?

I will have to see if i can listen to it on the iMac.

I have the DVD, but listened to it only on my 25 year old RCA TV. Did not detect the "chorusing" that you are speaking about. By the way, there are at least two versions of "I Should Have Known Better" and "Can't Buy Me Love" in the US over the years. I had the original LP release of Hard Days Night...

Let's be a lttle safer: 1. Use a resistor with a higher resistance value, on the order of 10K. it will take longer to discharge, but then again, the reistor won't burn up. 100 ohms is pretty low and you may get a surge and a large burst of heat 9and burnt fingers, not to mention adverse effects on n...

Depends where you are going to be going to - that is, you wouldn't want to stay in MD if you actually aregoing to be going to "work" in VA. Or are you actually staying in DC? What is your budget?

OK, I'll admit to being an idiot. I bought the Behringer MX2004. After my mixer went up in smoke with barely more than 5 uses, I'd say the adage, "You get what you pay for," is true. And I have no-one to blame, I always try and buy the best that I can afford (poor amateur that I am), so I should hav...

Without the smoke, of course.

Darn, I just posted my own experience with a Behringer mixer. http://messageboard.tapeop.com/viewtopic.php?t=27261
