Hi, Sorry to resurrect this ancient thread of mine. But it seemed a good idea so that hopefully anyone who'd posted on it all those years ago and were interested in my recordings would see the reply.   I recently did a couple of new binaural recordings when I took a visit to the coast and...

After a mixup with the ebay seller i brought the fuses from i finally got some fuses through today... slotted one in tonight (rather ingeniously (i thought) wrapping it up in 3 plastic bread bag ties and using that to be able to manouvere it under the PCB of the transformer and then pull it back...

Since my HD600's default lead had a dodgy channel i've been using my Darth Beyer's for my main headphone full time.. they've always had their own quirk with the channels which has now started to get annoying. Basically the left channel cuts out unless i squeeze the end of the lead going into the...

i guess this is more like it Fuse 6 x 32mm F800mA Quick Blow - Fuses & holders - SoloTechnic but never heard of the shop.

i've had a browse around online, looks hard to find an exact match.. can find a 0.8A fast blow fuse at maplin but its only 20mm, and its more like 30mm for this fuse.. Maplin > 11/4in (31mm) Quickblow (F) is the closest i've seen, but not THAT close.. perhaps slightly bigger by a mm or so...

i managed to get it out... getting it back in could be tricky.. i think plastic coated bread ties may help, they can hold and support it whilst not getting in the way.. but its a very tight squeeze.. Written on the fuse is A TOYO and 250v 0,8A so will try to look for a suitable...

thanks, will try later

brilliant. Makes sense. What is your idea for an equivalently safe way of taking the fuse out, i don't want to break the central clear core trying to lever it out, but i dont see any other way of getting access to it.

yep, will do. Its been nearly as long for me.. its just doing the fuse swop that will be interesting.. shame there aint no instructions/guide online.. i don't wanna break anything. Cheers

Thanks i will give it a try.. to be honest I agree getting it back in may be tricky... to get out do i just need to use a screwdriver to lever it out from the centre of the fuse? Trying to pull at it gently and the whole board its on moves slightly so i don't fancy putting too much force into...

have you done any repairs like this.. finding a fuse to match may be tricky, i'll have a look though.. perhaps success this weekend. Not sure how best to try and prize the fuse out, hard to get access.

this photo has detailed notes here Overview on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

here's the photo set, i'll annotate some of the images to hilight areas. Broken Stax SRM-717 - a photoset on Flickr here's the offending fuse though its hard to see, let alone shoot to show it clearly, but viewed larger i think you can see that this is broken/blown. Flickr Photo...

Thanks for the info. I'd already got Symmetry's number and may give them a call tomorrow. I followed your advice and carefully took the lid off. Peeking around inside no obvious signs of anything melting.. I could see 3 clear fuses, hard to see anything inside, but the one nearest to the...

I got home tonight and just happened to look and notice that the light was off on my Stax SRM-717, i assumed it'd had had the power switch turned off, but sadly it hadn't. I've checked everything, moved it out so i can get a good look at it, checked the fuse in the power cable, nothing. It...

thanks Evisu, but for the long term future I plan to still use my Tag Mclaren DAC 20.. I dont have any need for higher resolution formats as such, and dont really believe that i'll hear the difference. Mainly though I've invested thousands and am content and keen to listen to my CDs through it...

does this effect get output in my required format down the digital outs 16bit 44-48khz ? Thats the real important question for me.. If it does i also assume someone who owns the card could do an mp3 recording of the effect when playing a movie i also own so i could compare the mp3 to my...

Hi folks, I'm considering upgrading to the new XFI, perhaps even the top model, as i NEED to get the digital outputs coming out the back of my machine, my PC has a door why would i want it via a 5.25" bay!! A daughterboard would be perfect, as i currently do with my SB Live. Anyways i'm a...

Just a heads up that i've uploaded a new set of recordings to my website 5th August 2003: Frisbee down the park with a marching band http://binaural.jimtreats.com My main thread for my recordings has a bit more information on it, here...

Hi folks.. I've just uploaded another set of recordings that i thought i'd uploaded a few months back.. I did all the processing on them and just never got round to putting them online. Anyways have a look.. usual place.. 5th August 2003: Frisbee down the park with a marching band...

And also how is this hotness when compared to the SRM-313 which I've found to stay nothing but cool apart from when heated by its background (by a nearby speaker amp). Is the hotness evenly spread or do certain parts get hotter than others? I'm considering upgrading from the 313 to the...

discovered that holding the front left bracket in its hold gently is the way to fool it into spinning up. Sadly tho i can get it to spin i've yet to get it to start to play? any tips.. i recall reading about the pots or whatever.. guess they're best not fiddled with? at a bit of a loss really...

Hi folks, I received a DCP150 the other day but sadly it wasn't in great shape. Denon no longer touch them so i've had a go myself.. it did start working shortly after arriving but then i had yet more problems after that. I've took it apart and had a look, nothing noticably wrong yet...

I just got a DCP-150 the other day. Annoyingly its not in the best shape. Its headphone out is shot too.. only audible on min and max settings or there abouts.. on min its usually only 1 channel.. turn it up slowly and it switches to the opposite channel.. all the while with full volume...

surely the AKG K1000s deserve a mention, they're soundstage is pretty much unique in the headphone world. A bit out of your budget though, especially with their amp requirements.
