    Best type of capacitors for recapping Type A Xovers?

    in Technical/Restorations

    Posted

    Hi Bob

    I'll do some sniffing around locally and if I can't find them I'll likely take you up on your offer to send them to me.

    Do you have a PayPal account?

    I have decided to use this unexpected time off to play around with some

    of the little projects that my job schedule hasn't allowed for for the

    past few years.

    I had thought of buying a pair of completed units from you but

    ultimately decided that I would rather do the work myself,( less time

    to sit/lay around obsessing about my situation )[:P]

    Thanks again

    Lynn

    Not exactly free in all parts of Canada but certainly at a manageable

    cost. Most provinces have eliminated Health Care premiums but Alberta

    collects a premium of about 90.00/mo. per adult. Seniors get a reduced

    rate and low income families are subsidised.

    Medications are not covered under Medicare but many

    companies have prescription benefits as part of their overall

    employee benefit plans. In my case there is a $2.00 per

    prescription co-payment which my pharmacist always waives.

    I nearly quit my job about 3 months ago because of a run-in with my

    boss but in retrospect it is a damned good thing that things got

    patched up as the benefit package is pretty decent . My employer

    has started me on Short term disability which gives me 100% salary for

    the first month and 70% until I have been off for 26 weeks.

    At the 26 week point I can be put on Long Term Disability which

    guarantees me about 67% of my salary until age 65. In addition I have

    Term Life rider that will pay my estate 65,000.00 on my death. That

    along with Canada Pension ,Old Age Security and other Private coverages

    and insurances pretty much guarantees that I will have no serious

    financial problems during my illness and further that my wife will be

    well provided for in the event that I do not recover.

    Taken all around things could be a lot worse.

    Good point Thumpelstiltskin!

    Irregularity of bowel function...frequent constipation....usually followed by persistent diarrhea

    Weight Loss

    Fatigue

    Excessive Bowel gas

    Later I also developed:

    Loss of apetite

    Chronic low level pain in the bowel

    Sudden unexplained "Sugar Crashes" ( I also have Type II diabetes ).

    My thanks to all who have responded directly to my post and to those

    who have contacted me by emil and PM. Your expressions of goodwill have

    helped ease my burden.

    Want Schematic for Type A Xover

    in Technical/Restorations

    Posted

    I have lost track of my hard copy of this schematic ( Probably buried

    in the debris field in my hobby room ). I can't find it using the

    search function on the forum.

    I am thinking of recapping my Xovers and while I could wrestle my

    Khorns out of their corners,I would greatly appreciate one of you folks

    posting the diagram.

    Thanks in advance.

    Microphonic RCA???

    Don't shotgun when troubleshooting!

    Remove all input cables and lightly tap each of the 6DJ8 tubes.

    If you get microphonics then the problem is either a tube ( quite

    likely BTW ) or some component associated with the tube rather than a

    cable.If no microphonic behaviour then connect one cable to the phono

    stage and try to replicate problem.If no microphonics then remove that

    cable and try its mate in that connection and so on.

    What you need to do in this type of situation is to reduce the

    variables to an absolute minimum and test new variables singly. If you

    attempt to rule out several variables at once you wind up spinning in a

    circle and get progressively more confused.

    Thanks for the kind words folks!

    In any event I have no intention of simply lying down and dying any time soon.

    With luck I'll be around to raise a little hell for some time to come.

    I think that the very anonymity of this forum makes it easier to disclose problems like this .

    Earlier today I told my best friend and he left here looking worse than I felt at that point.

    Microphonic RCA???

    Quick question:

    Does your amp exhibit this behaviour with other interconnects?

    I doubt that using a shielded ground connection will make a difference.If anything such a hookup could introduce a ground loop.

    If however you find that your amp does not behave in that manner

    with a different interconnect then my best guess is that one of the

    cables is the culprit.

    Another thought: How are those interconnects connected to the

    turntable? Do they connect via an RCA jack or are they wired directly?

    Does this behaviour occur only on the phono setting or does it show up elsewhere?

    [:(]

    I haven't been feeling well for quite a while.

    Today, my doctor came to the house and informed me that I have cancer

    and that the results of the CT scan I had on Thursday indicate that it

    has metastacised from my pancreas to my liver and one lung.

    I'll be knocking around here for a while but if my posts drop off

    understand it will be because of health issues and not because of any

    animosity.

    In the meantime I intend to enjoy life to its fullest extent.
