Sipher

are there a lot of percussion instruments??

sorry i dont know alot of instruments, just those common ones

i like drums, all kinds of drums.

oh ok

duckling's avatar is the pic of the amp

music genres are sometimes very confusing.

is there a kind of jazz that focus on percussion instruments?

i like percussion instruments better than brass instruments (ie sax)

hi hacknet,

is MKP a brand? or a kind of cap?

sorry but i'm very new to electronics.

erm...they dont belong to a fixed genre?

so confusing

thanks for all the recommendations. i will check them out.

Happy birthday!

i just learnt that for quartz clock, there's ppm value and a pF value.

i suppose the lower the ppm the better?

does it matter what pF value to use?

hey sipher , anything in mind???

want to mod CD player???

Good luck..

thanks.

anyway i'm just following instructions on the website.

i hope i can do it.

ok let's say if i cant get polystyrene cap, what other kinds of caps can i get that can do the same job?

do all clocks have the same power requirement?

is there a audio-grade clock?

thanks jason and jtfoo.

can i still get "0.1uF or greater Stacked foil polystyrene cap (must be less than 1/8" thick)" from shops?

i asked because i had tried searching RS components site and couldnt find this kind of cap.

what voltage should i get?

in case u need to know more here's the site

here's a pic of a similar mod found in www.acoustica.org.uk

hmmm....i didnt encounter this kind of attitude before.

they have been quite nice to me.

maybe u should approach the lady salesperson instead.

hi all,

i had read about some mods that can be done to my CDP.

quite tempted to try them but there are some terms and issues that i want to clarify before deciding whether to try them out or not.

here goes:

1) what are the symbols/short forms for

kilofarad;

megafarad;

microfarad;

millifarad;

nanofarad;

picofarad?

2) what's mH and DCR as in "1mH miniature Choke (14Ohm DCR)"?

3) let's say the original cap's value is 220uF 50V. can i replace it with a cap which has the value 100uF 50V/220uF 16V? or is it i can only replace it with the same value or bigger uF and V values? hope u understand what i'm trying to say.

4) what kind of cap has very low inductance?

5) must i replace a quartz crystal with a same MHz value? does the crystal have +/- leads?

6) are Cerafines considered "Super-low-Z" caps?

that's all. thanks.

hi,

to those who have heard "Fourplay" before, what kind of jazz music is that?

also, can recommend me some CDs which are close to Fourplay kind of jazz?

Thanks

thanks

what's Chesky Test discs about?

where can i check them out?

The brief audition I had with the X-Ray->Zolt->HD650 it sounded slow for me. The HD600 was slightly faster & more airier/spacious. (The system combination with RS-1 blew me away!) I don't remember which replacement cables were on which headphones though. Other than that no other complaints with it. Top notch sounding cans with the usual sennheiser fit & comfort.

THe HD600 was using the Oelhbach replacement cable.

i've heard that cable can actually be bad for the 650's

u mean the Oelhbach replacement cable?

i'm not too sure. just a suggestion.

for me, sometimes i had to stick with either equipment for some time in order to tell subtle differences between 2 equipments, ie, 2 interconnects or 2 similar sounding cans.

i think u can learn how to tell differences by listening to more kinds of music and equipments

it took me quite some time to learn what some of the terms meant and there's still some terms which i cant understand.

aaah my chinese sucks. had a hard time reading it. haha

we are getting more exposure. that's good

whats the diff between ex70sl and ex71? which is better between the 2?

i guess ex70sl is better?

Edit: added a qoute from azarel

wow! that's very long
