  1. Pair of Heresy woofers seven months old in excellent condition. $70.00 plus shipping with guarentee. You can reach me here or at lpmlibonate@aol.com. Thanks, Paul Libonate
  2. Can you post the crossover mod or send it to me? Thanks, Trip
  3. I have a Fisher 200b tuner and one switch selects between tune, microtune, AFC 1, AFC 2. Unit has three indicator lights for stereo, mute, and AFC. Sometimes the AFC light will come on even when switch has not postioned on AFC. I assume AFC is automatic frequency control but don't understand the function (controls drift?) or why it has two AFC selections. Even if you don't have this tuner any input is appreciated. I do not have the owners manual. I have a Magnum Dynalab and the Fisher pulls in stations better and just seems to be a better product. The Fisher also cost less. Can't compare Fisher sound to Dynalab at this time Fisher needs to be reworked as it's from circa 1963 and is stock. I also used the Magnum Dynalab Signal Sleuth($350.00) with both tuners. It had no positive effect on the Fisher and very little on the Dynalab tuner. I have since returned the signal sleuth. Thanks, TRIP
  4. Concise answers. Thanks gentlemen! Trip
  5. Thanks Al, Thought there was more to it than that. Negative charge introduced into the tube to increase/decrease draw. So a negative charge would have more electrons right? Postive charge more protons? What's a balanced charge called? Is this true only with DC? What the deal with all that? Reading everything I can get my hands on but seem to missing a few major points. Thanks again for your time, Trip

  7. For reading/setting the bias for tube amp I put one ohm, one %, half watt resistors from the cathode pin to ground for each tube socket. Measure the millivolts across the resistor for each tube using a auto-ranging digital VM. Volt meter will read -20 or whatever. The higher the number the more draw. The plate has a positive charge and opposites attract. I know how to adjust and to what range but don't understand the term 'negative voltage'. Is it actual negative voltage (how can this be)? Tad confused. Thanks, PMLibonateIII "Trip"
  8. Don't the II's have a trictrax mid 90x60?
  9. I really don't know jack but had this problem with a brand new pair of Heresy's. Was able to fix myself. Since that moment of victory I am now making my own interconnects. Most likely there is a nut on the back side of the cup (plastic piece were the binding posts are attached)attached to the binding post. Remove the cup and take a look. Just as you stated- be carefull not to break the connection from post to lead or damage anything else. If you do break the connection don't worry, you can resolder. Hope this helps. Trip
  10. Talking batteries? Wow! Un-freakin- believable! Trip
  11. Does a 50 ohm volume pot have a constant impedance of 50 ohm's or does it vary from depending on position of wiper? Would it vary from maximum resistance of 50 ohm's(no sound)to minimum amount of resistance (loudest setting)? Thanks you!

  13. "Sub-woofer Scam Man"- shame, shame, shame! Good posts everyone! The surround sound thing doesn't do it for me. I find the whole thing distracting. Might be good every now and then for a movie at home and at the movie theater, esp IMAX- but, to each his own. Manufactures,dealers, retailers have found a cash cow in surround sound. Consumer is depending on "Sub-woofer Scam Man" for advice and he would be more than happy to help. Bose has one hell of a marketing dept.. They remind me of McDonalds. I see a live band about once a month usually in bars/clubs and small venues. In bars and clubs they're usually set up in a corner or in the end of room. Have yet to see any surround speakers, maybe I just missed them. If your near Baltimore on March 27, Robert Bradleys Blackwater Surprise will be in town - should be a good show. JMHI-Trip
  14. I don't belive the Hersey I's had any foam or such materials anywhere in cabinet. Is no damping such as the I's good? Klipsch parts list shows the k-24-k woofer for both Hersey I&II's. If the original woofer was different in the H-I wouldn't Klipsch instruct to add the foam "u" when using the k-24-k in H-I? The k-24-k woofer specs would have to have the proper box volume. The foam in my H- II's is in an upside down "u" that isolates woofer; foam is front to back, contacts the bottom of box and arc is at bottom of squawker. A rough guess would be that total box volume is 1.7 ft. Volume of "u" is substantially less. Why no foam in I's if they have same volume and woofer as II's?
