This John Curl-designed amplifier brings out all the subtle details of your music, yet still has the punch for the boldest crescendos and home cinema special-effects explosions. It also features automatic turn-on, making it ideal for home theaters and custom, multi-zone installations. Which set of jacks do I use to connect my preamp to my amp?
Although it looks like there are two sets of inputs on our stereo amplifiers, there is actually only one set. These would be used to send the stereo signal on to another amplifier. Daisy chain several amps to run multiple pairs of speakers. What would sound better in my audiophile system? Better parts, smoother sound, more detail, etc. Where should I set the volume controls on the back of my amp?
Under normal conditions you should turn them all the way to allow full power output from your amp. However, if you need to match the volume output of one of our stereo amps with another brand BiAmping you could adjust them accordingly. Would anybody out there be interested in such a manual or kit, or should I not waste my time? Edit Delete. I think it would depend on your definition of "small fee". Also, the difficulty level to do the mod would be a factor.
One look at a schematic and I would have a pretty good idea as to what you could do. To Rcziech: The modifications involve disassembling the entire amplifier and replacing stock components. I'm not getting into altering the actual circuit or replacing sections of the circuit board, necessarily. These mods could be done by anyone with a RadioShack soldering iron and desoldering tool.
The only other tweek involves rebiasing the output devices which is much less difficult than it sounds , which does require a voltmeter; but this tweek isn't absolutely necessary. I'm not sure what I would charge, though it wouldn't be exorbitant by any means. It would take a bit of work--I'd have to take high-quality color digital photos, create my own schematic diagrams, and make sure it was written well so that it was easily understood and followed.
I was thinking that it would include a short primer on soldering and desoldering technique, a step-by-step guide to disassembling and reassembling the amplifier, as well as instructions on modifications, parts list, and a list of sources with approximate prices, as they change with time to find the parts at. All of these sections would have color photos to guide the reader along the way. What do you think a reasonable "fee" would be? Notice that I am NOT asking what you think it "should" be worth, but how much do you think people would pay?
By the way, the reason for my considering a "kit" is because I have been able to get the parts I use at very low prices compared to what you would normally find. This saves the "tweeker" money in both price of parts and separate shipping fees , as well as the hassle of tracking down all the parts.
There might be some things I could do with supplying very nice wire as part of the kits also, but that remains to be determined yet. To Myraj: I replaced a good number of stock components capacitors, resistors, bridges, output devices, wire, connectors, etc.
The result is greatly improved sound. The catch is that you have to know what parts to replace, what parts to use instead, and where to find them at a good price. Good luck! I think there may be a limited market for this.
