    Do Amplifiers impart a sonic signature to music

    Maybe elaborate a bit as to what needs to be measured. I wanted to give my experience not sure it will be interpreted correctly

    Do watts really matter?

    Maybe it is time to audition the vanguard

    Sound deadening a car

    I am going through the same excersize at the moment. What i bought was 24 pcs 500*400*2.9mm butyl sheets with ally blistered backing. 24 pcs of closed cell foam with ally backing 500*300*10 Total cost A$170 I compared it to dynamat and there wasn't much of a difference. I believe they built a...

    As a sound enthusiast living in an apartment complex, how does one cope?

    What you need is something like this https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/topic?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eavforums%2Eco%2Eza%2Findex%2Ephp%3Ftopic%3D93638%2E0&share_tid=93638&share_fid=19931&share_type=t&link_source=app

    To plinth, or not to plinth...

    What speakers will you be using. I used double isolation on my last two projects. Spikes to floor and spikes to plinth. On my tqwt i had to redo the crossover after adding the plinth. Had fantastic midrange detail and made the speaker disappear completely

    Altec VOTT journey.

    Looks brilliant Sean. Can you perhaps give us the distortion curve aswell. Always a good indication of how clean your crossover is

    Start collecting buddy. FIY. Your preamp makes a great hp amp.

    RS 2 Preamp volume control - dual log red dot pot?

    Alps is good enough for what you have there. Only when you get to the high end stuff that it matters (or not)

    RS 2 Preamp volume control - dual log red dot pot?

    No, I stopped using the RSE stuff about 15  or more years ago. You can take the amp and preamp only that far. The preamp can be the magic performer in the duo. The amp itself can only be taken that far. If you up to it i can run you through the upgrades of the amp but know this that there are...

    RS 2 Preamp volume control - dual log red dot pot?

    It is clearly shown on the board so fairly easy. I used the relay port for a on off switch. You can also extend the IR sensor anywhere you like

    RS 2 Preamp volume control - dual log red dot pot?

    Yes a simple 9-12v transformer will do

    RS 2 Preamp volume control - dual log red dot pot?

    Well get the alps blue then. The one i linked to gives you remote as well but what ever makes you happy. Just don't get a cheap one.

    RS 2 Preamp volume control - dual log red dot pot?

    The red dot was a philips but a crappy one at that. Daan used to order hundreds and then selecting a few fairly ok ones. A noble pot was 30 x more expensive. The bangood one or any of the same from other websites will be 100k log pots. Your best option at this stage. You should be able to get it...

    RS 2 Preamp volume control - dual log red dot pot?

    Like mentioned in another post. The red dot pots were selected as not the worst of the bunch. Ditch it and put in a alps. Even the cheap amps with remote will he 100x better than that pot

    Is the Daan Jacoks mosfet amp a Hafler, Kraftwerk, Hitachi or his own?

    They won't be able to help you unless you want a pcb. The red dot volume control was at best selected as not being the worst that they had. Get yourself a decent alps or a noble. If you listened to anything at Daan it would have been a noble. Daan died towards the end of the naughties

    Is the Daan Jacoks mosfet amp a Hafler, Kraftwerk, Hitachi or his own?

    RSE electronics as it is today was bought from Daan in the early 2000. They know very little about the amp or audio in general. They fired the guy that assembled it for years and with that lots valuable knowledge. I doubt that they even know where the schematics are for the amp. (I however do...

    6600uf amp caps reading as 7400uf?

    He resides in Australia. So not a possibility using mantech.
