  1. NOS440, the ST40 uses a GZ34 rectifier tube according to what info. I've found online at http://users.rcn.com/fiddler.interport/eico.htm This is a good site, schematics are available for downloading for numerous EICO products. I'm just getting into the tube thing, so I have alot to learn. Wondering if the the 5AR4 is interchangeable with the GZ34, from what I've seen so far I think they may be the same tube, but not sure? I've read that the rectifier tubes, depending on quality, do effect the sound. By the way the tube in the ST40 I have has no markings on it.

  2. Thanks, for the recommendations. Recently aquired a EICO ST 40 and the rectifier tube is defective. Someone installed 2 diodes in the power supply circuit as a modification, in effect the diodes are used for rectification in place of the defective tube rectifier. I'm going to remove the diodes and install a working rectifier tube.

  3. boa12, don't know if this will help, hdcd encoded discs will play on any cd player, you just won't have the "benefit" of the hdcd feature.

  4. I forgot to mention: pick out some titles from the hdcd websites music catalog and try your local music retailer you'll probally have some luck that way. If your into Greenday pick up Nimrod it's hdcd encoded and should be readily avaiable. As I mentioned earlier there are numerous titles available.

  5. marksdad, go to www.hdcd.com the music catalog section. This section will give you an idea on how many titles are available, there are lots of titles avaiable. The website also has plenty of info. on the format. There are a couple of replys on your earlier posts on the hdcd subject also.

  6. marksdad, try www.hdcd.com, you can see what's available there in the music catalog section. You also can try doing a search using hdcd as keyword, at the usual online outlets, amazon.com etc... There are alot of titles available.

  7. Thanks for the quick reply Mobile. I have been looking into HH Scott and EICO, especially the HF81 (I wonder why). While browsing on ebay, I came across a Fisher X202-B, the seller mentioned something about a center channel switch, which peaked my curiosity. I would like to try a 3 channel (Trifield?) setup just for fun. Definitely want to get my Cornwalls fed right, so time to try some tubes.

  8. dwlnga, the KSC-C1 has a 90 x 40 degree Tractrix horn, while the SC-1 has a 90 x 60 degree Tractrix horn and uses the same driver same as the SF-2. Therefore, the SC-1 would be the proper mathcing center. The SC-1 center is timbre matched and will provide a seamless blend of sound across your front speaker array.

  9. Thanks for solving the mystery guys. Those Heresy's look like a rare find. $50.00 shipping including insurance anywhere in the US is tempting. Justin try dropping ebay customer service an email, to see whats up with your credit card problem.

  10. Has anyone ever seen this particular code or can anyone decipher it: H ZL SRB? I came across these Heresy's on ebay item# 1381713341, they look pretty interesting. I don't have any plans to bid on them just curious. Thanks.

  11. Daryl, I remember Bob G mentioning the SC-1 is a significant improvement over the KSCC1. I haven't heard both of them in the same room at the same time. You can get an idea of what the KSCC1's are going for, theres a bunch of them on ebay, you could dump yours and offset the cost of the SC-1. If it sounds good enough for ya now, thats all that matters.

  12. Daryl, the SC-1 is the matching center for the SB-3's. It is timbre mathced for your mains. The KSCC1 is timbre matched for the last Synergy Series models ex: KSB3.1's which have been discontinued. Definetly go with the SC-1.

  13. Not only is this a great movie, the DVD picture and sound quality are excellent (surrounds get a good workout). I'll go out on a limb and say this is the best DVD out there. Check it out!!
