    Need help finding unusual multimeter fuse

    the reason they use a high voltage here is simply that some people do high voltage work... typical B+ voltages in tube amps can run 500V easily... the spec you dont want to over do is not voltage here but rather current... think of it as voltage is the pressure in a hose... current is the shear...

    Audio Interface Diagram W/other gear

    i'm looking at present into the motu 24i/o so i can integrate an old soundcraft board... i think it'll be set up such that 16 of the SC channels will feed directly to the first 16 in's on the I/O leaving 8 more for any specials or FX... the first 16 outputs of the I/O will feed back to the SC...

    Polar response of ribbons vs dual diaphragm fig-8s

    sounds reasonable... the two diagphrams on the ldc work through phase cancellation etc to get all the different patterns... obviously they're interacting... where a ribbon has a single sheet suspended in between two magnets to each side... no interaction... maybe msh will respond... would'nt...

    Weird noise when I use midi

    ok... when you get this sort of crap it's usually traceable to two related areas... either insufficient system ram.. or a hard drive issue... the first is easy enough to cure by somemore ram... the second usually comes down to spending money as well... only this time it's hard drives.. how many...

    Classical composition

    her chops are reasonable... and the right hand adds some sparkle... the problem is considering the right the left has to hold up the right... in essence the left becomes the melody... or perhaps a counter theme from previous section if it's to be a developement... if as an original statement...

    STANDBY SWITCH - Clarification

    for the record... stand by switch lets the heater voltages get to the tube WithouT the ht or B+ voltage being applied... it's a good idea to use the standby but rarely will it kill anything... good idea to use it on breaks as well...

    Help: Torn speaker cone in monitor

    i guess my experience is different than others here... IMO i would consider changing out both woofers... the repair option can add significant mass to the woofer and thus affect the tone and at the least be a poor match to the other original... and keeping the good one may show some difference...

    Wiring a 3-way crossover to 2-way

    dont do it!!! the way a crossover works (oversimplification) is to reverse the phase of the next section at those freqs that are common... so for the entire section of common freqs will at athe least give a huge hole... bite the bullet and replace to blown speaker Xover or whatever... a good...

    Two simple questions. Help, please.

    good quetions... you've been thinking about it obviously... as to the first... imo this a instance where eq is probably not the right tool... attack is a dynamics problem not freq issue... try a compressor with a slow attack and modest ratio then use alittle make up gain... second bring the...

    Understanding UTC transformer

    if i read that right... this is not an impedence matching transformer you got there... it's an ultralinear output tranny for a tube amp... it's used in a special type of pentode amp... popular with hi-fi types... used in old sunn and ampeg gear...

    Crest

    i've owned several of their amps.... and their desks are being found on tour riders... so yeah it's top notch... though i hate working on the old 9001 amps... there was a design issue that some would solder a connector which made it next to impossible for the next guy....
