    Almost died unhooking amp the other day

    hold a metal wrench in your hand....stick it across the terminals on a 12v automotive battery and see what happens. That will tell you real fast if the 12 volts will fry you.

    cd7200 mkII owners

    I am going to say the 7200 won't be that feature oriented as its a SQ deck nothing more nothing less. Features or I should say alot of features is not something pure SQ decks are known for. I know the 7200 is MP3 capable but I am not sure about BT. MP3 doesn't have purist type sound quality...

    Eclipse 5303r questions

    Well I got the 5303R head unit. I have installed it. I must say its very nice to listen to but I don't know if its as good all around as my nakamichi 45z was. It does a nice job with the highs and the bass is nice. But the mid range isn't as clear. Female and male vocals are nice. Acoustic...

    Almost died unhooking amp the other day

    12VDC can kill you. Its the amperage that will kill you not the voltage. It only takes like 1 amp to stop your heart. That's why a taser doesn't kill. Its 20,000 volts but only .01 amps. If you don't think it won't kill bridge the battery terminal in your car with a wrench and hold on it. Can...

    What causes bad CD ripping?

    What CDR software are using. And how fast are you burning? What speed do you have the burner set to burn at. The slower the burn speed the better the cd is.

    hurry up and bring FLAC to car stereo everyone needs to help out

    Well let me add a little bit to the fire. I am a home audio and car audio SQ purist. That being said MP3 is none existant to me. Yes I can tell the diff between a crummy MP3 and a good quality recording. Those that don't think there is.....go buy a Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs Original Master...

    Eclipse 5303r questions

    McIntosh vs Nakamichi Headunit review.

    Hi guys haven't been around for a while. But I come back bringing and OPINION for those interested. First of all my head unit I've had for a couple years now is a Nakamichi 45z. Its an older unit I know. So I recently and locally bought an MX5000 McIntosh head unit. I had to build a small...

    I can understand that for sure. 3 amps they would cut you a deal most anyone would. Congrats on the deal enjoy the amps.

    tube gear gets cheaper if you build the amps yourself. you can use anyone of a few schematics or a design you like. Keep it simple though small compact. The power transformer and the vibrator are the somewhat tough pieces. It will take edcor a week to make the transformer and it will take 2...

    Handmade/Tube Brands etc.

    I use a edcor power transformer with a vintage sansui output transformer. Again its only 17 watts per channel. The best part is I have a set of Image Dynamics mini horns for the tube amp to run. Yes it sounds absolutely awesome. Once I get this power supply issue squared away all will be good...
