Re: THAT1570/5171 DIP Adapter
The same is true for the output figure +26.6dBu running with +/-15V supplies, which is almost 47Vpp. I'm sure I don't know how to calculate this properly, could you please give me a hint? I believe that the input and output maximum levels are differentially-measured and thus 6 dB higher than the si...

Re: THAT1570/5171 DIP Adapter
Sorry I'm late revisiting this party. The good news is my bench is almost setup. There is another problem, and I don't know if it's a typical behavior of phantom blocking caps, but when phantom is turned on/off there is a big (almost 6V) DC offset measured at any point past the negative leg of C2/C3...

Re: Mid Side M-S Matrix Uses No Precision Resistors
raf - Jim's name sounds very familiar to me from radio I think. I would love to visit his store.
Paul - Well I can only hope we eventually return to sanity WRT levels. It's just fatiguing to me once all those harmonics start intermodulating and quit being musical.

Re: Mid Side M-S Matrix Uses No Precision Resistors
Paul - Do you suppose that the popularity vinyl released today (that presumably sounds better due to not being over-processed and slammed to the wall to the degree that CDs are) will somehow cause people in the labels to ask if this CD loudness war shoud be stopped? It's a hope of mine. Is it even t...

Re: Mid Side M-S Matrix Uses No Precision Resistors
Somehow the Mexican food spread inside ZZ Top's Tres Hombres just wasn't the same in CD format
I've been planning a trip to Best Buy to see what they have on LP now. I have a mental image of the new Foo Fighters LP spinning on the turntable.

Re: Mid Side M-S Matrix Uses No Precision Resistors
BTW an intersting factoid that you guys may already be aware of. My daughter is in management at Best Buy. She told me that for a couple of years now vinyl is outselling CDs both in units and dollars. I mentioned to Paul in an e-mail that when I moved the first thing I hooked up - before the DVD pla...

Re: Mid Side M-S Matrix Construction Information
Very nice build! Thank you for sharing the pics. The goal I had for this project was transparency to the degree where you could listen through the matrix with the inserts normaled and it would sound the same as the source. I guess the idea I had that day while bike-riding panned out. We all owe Roge...

Paul - Your build is awesome. You may hold the record for a rotary switch with the most poles.

Re: Mid Side M-S Matrix Construction Information
I agree that the temp is too low. Have the same problem desoldering leaded radial caps on computer motherboards where the power planes are large and sometimes internal. It's a big heatsink for the iron. I think my Weller's tips are 700 degree (PTA-7?) and I didn't have a problem getting it hot enoug...

Re: Residential Lighting with LEDs: Retrofitting the Pink Ra
A quick update 6/28/11. As I mentioned earlier, four of the 40W Sylvania snow cones just aren't bright enough. Today while shopping at Lowes I found the Utilitech (Feit Electric) LA19DIM/800/LED which is a 60W 800 lumen 3000K. I'm impressed. These babies dim very well, are bright, and don't have an ...
