Be carefull, Cobalt and BlueJeans balanced cables are 110 ohm, main use is AES/EBU, not analog. Wickedcables uses the Canare Starquad analog cable (5 conductor) with the same Neutrik connectors. They use a seperate cable suited for 110 ohm applications.

Solder should NOT be the point of contact. You may crimp bananas then solder to strengthen, in this manner the copper in the wire is making contact to the gold in the banana.

Burned phosphors on one of the CRTs. This is usually caused by someone opening up the screen VRs too high while the picture in service (collapsed) mode. The adjustment procedure calls for turning these adjustmemts all the way down before collapsing the picture, then opening them up untill a...

THX was spun-off from Lucas. Tomlinson Holman is no longer associatted with either. Its about the $$$ now!!!

Licensing fees have 5 digits in them!!!! To the left of the decimal point!!!!

Rounder in person!!! I worked on her TV concert last year!!!

Ill stand by Marks statement that Canare and Belden 75ohm coax with the Canare 75ohm connectors are superb for video and SPDIF, but not analog. I do however like Canares analog coaxial (GS-6) with the Canare F-10 RCA connectors, which give a nice ring at the top and a round bottom. Jump in...

Plus or minus 1/2 inch wont be an issue, Canare and Belden time their multi-cable runs to 2ns @ 100ft!!!!

Daniel I think you could do a better job than a tech in hurry!!! Get the manual to your set, study it and take a few hours with no distractions. Unless you write to ROM you can always back off to the last convergence adjustment. "Within spec" would not be acceptable in my book!!! On...

Records are cut with an EQ curve, basically highs are accentuated and lows are attenuated. Because its analog and the low frequencies can not be cut on a record due to its depth. If the amplifier does not have a phono in plug, you need a phono pre-amp to restore the equalisation to flat...

Make sure the adapter has an RIAA EQ circuit. $60.00 for a phono preamp is not bad.

I apologize, its MichaelFusick on this forum and MFUSIK on the avsforum. His posts have helped out a lot, since hes a Hitachi freak!!!!

Let me just start off by saying that a manual convergence helps the set 200% My 57 was nice out of the box, but the convergence made it much better. Read posts by MFUSIK, he has a lot of information that would help you.

He stated it also had a 1/4" TRS . When an amp has both XLR and 1/4" TRS they are wired in parallel. 1/4" TRS IS balanced the difference between XLR and 1/4" TRS is the connector. By using a 1/4" plug you are essentially shorting out the ring and sleeve. A properly built RCA unbalanced to...
