Good one, John!

Lame.

Approx. 10^3 Pa.

Do you happen to know what the triple-point of water is?
No, but there's an awesome graph - did I mention something that I
called "the Annoying Point" - in either another branch here or another
thread that had also degenerated to a virtually amusing point. ;-)
Oh, as a matter of fact, I'm almost sure that it's in another response
to this very John F. x Floyd L.D. pissfest.

Anyways, if you go to the URL above, and just scroll down to below
the first paragraph, which is a page in a teeny tiny monitor; there's
a couple of awesome graphics. There are a whole bunch of points that
could be construed as "The Triple Point", like, at 10^3 Pa - One
kilopascal? at 273ish K, where water can freeze and boil simultaneously.

And if you look up in the "increasing pressure" direction, you'll see a
kind of "crowded" or "busy" area. There's an enlargement of that area -
where the "Triple- Point" _could_ be construed to be that little
blue area labeled "III". But that _couldn't_ be the triple point, because
there's no steam!

So, yeah, I have no idea what the triple-point of water is, other than
that I'd heard where "the three states" all come together.

So, OK - I'm guessing about 273ish K at about one kilopascal. ;-)

(and the "lame" crack came about by your accolade of "Good one, J..."
for merely expressing an invitation to do a web search that took me
all of about four seconds. Sorry, I just didn't think that it was
that great big a deal for a guy to say, "put your money where your

stumbled on a site that tells not only about the ten states of ice,
but also, get this:

6.354 kJ mol-1 (81.6°C, 2150 MPa, ice VI) [535]

Enthalpy of Sublimation
51.06 kJ mol-1 (0°C)
---</q>---
from amongst parameters that I didn't even know there were, at
http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/water/data.html .)

Wait a minute! There's a picture of the triple-point!

Kewl! "(273.16 K "exactly ...) The triple point is the temperature and
pressure at which three phases (here liquid water, hexagonal ice, and
water vapor) coexist at equilibrium, and will transform phase with
suitable but tiny changes in temperature or pressure."

So, now, I guess I do! :-D

Confining comments to the topic makes newsgoups work better.

He appears to be confusing sublimation and evaporation with boiling.


I believe that the "boiling point" is when the partial pressure of the
liquid at the applied pressure and temperature is equal to the applied
pressure. "Boiling" may be entirely apporpriate.

I see what happened.

In retrospect it is clear the "tutorial quote" came from one of Don
Lancaster's posts. However, when the Phantom used it in his post, much of
Don Lancaster's post was not attributed to him (Don): As with the Phantom's
post, there were no attribution carrot(s) so it appeared to be part of the
Phantom's post.

Subsequent posts were targeting what incorrectly appeared to be Phantom's
tutorials.

All that aside, always in for a penny in for a pound, I now conclude that my
remark was aimed at Don Lancaster's comment on DC.

I am simply

substances have boiled at lower temperatures than that at STP though.

Yes. Liquefied gases, in particular, do that, and I'm anxiously awaiting
Floyd Davidson's response which will nail down the pressure required to
allow water to boil at 0°C.
According to the graph at http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/water/phase.html , approx.
10^3 Pa, whatever the hell that means. Obviously, an atmosphere is up
there near the "annoying point", ;-) , between 10^8 and 10^9 Pa.

well, tapping on the neck board to get the picture back indicates to me
you've got a tube going bad, or bad solder joints on the neck board.
considering the amount of high voltage floating around there, i'd
suggest you fix that first.

A bad tube won't make snow, but I suppose there might be some strange

He was talking about tapping the neck board solving a blank raster, not
the tuner problem. It certainly does sound like a bad tuner but I'd
check all the voltages first, if it's missing one it could cause this
problem, check the 'net for a datasheet and work from there.

What happens now is that the VCR's basket (loading mechanism) will load
a tape all of the way down onto the transport, but as the transport
tries to engage you can hear it bind (lock) up (there's a clunk when it

belt). I can see everything on the transport start to move (like maybe
1/32 of an inch) then stop. After the the motor strains against the
locked up transport for about 4 seconds, the machine shuts off. If I
leave the tape in and turn the machine back on it immediately tries to
load the tape (which it won't because the transport locks up) and then
shuts-off after about 4 seconds). So I removed the tape and turned the
machine on (without a tape in the basket), but the VCR "thinks" there
is a tape there and still tries to load a tape then shuts off after
four seconds.

I tried to locate a mode switch, but I cannot seem to find one on this
transport. there is an optical position sensor mounted on the side of
the basket, but I am not used to seeing a mode switch there (is that
the mode switch on this machine?).
Google fpound me two pages that might be useful to you:

http://www.avrepair.info/faults/JC110114.HTM and
http://www.hamradio-badarc.co.uk/video/vcr2/ittjvcvcr.htm , worth
having a hunt round.

Most JVC/Ferguson VCRs of that era used the same mechanism, so faults
and solutions will be similar (though component references may differ).

A common fault is that the optical sensor gets gunged up with old
grease and accumulations of dirt; remove it and replace, if you can
get one, otherwise give it a good clean with an old toothbrush or
similar. Also watch out for wear in the nylon; worn cams can upset the
operation but not be visible to the naked eye.

You have put new belts in, haven't you? A poor loading belt can give
the impression of jammed mechanics because of the loss of torque.

Hello,

I've had good luck with the Panasonic caps. I often order them from
Digikey (www.digikey.com). I would not 'Shotgun' the entire amp, but I
would replace the defective caps in both channels, even if only one of
them was currently bad. I would not worry about the brand change.
Though I'll warn you that discussing pros and cons of various brands of
caps can lead to long boring threads on newsgroups. <G>

My NAD 3125 may need new caps (it is 20 years old). All original caps
look fine, and are ELNA brand, either RE or CE series. I cannot find
ELNA online, although I may check a local store. I've been told
Panasonic FC series are good. Are they a suitable replacement for the
originals? They are "low impedance" - is this the important criteria
for audio? ELNA appears to be well respected in the audio world from a
bit of searching I've done, so I don't want to lose any of the
original NAD sound by using the wrong caps.

The one problem my amp has (see earlier post) seems to be isolated to
the left channel infrasonic filter section. Assuming I can resolve this
be replacing the caps in that section, should I just quit there?

Many people have said to just replace all caps on a 20 year old amp,
but the Panasonic spec sheets show that 20-30 years is a reasonable
lifespan for caps at near room temps. The 1000-2000 hrs ratings seem to
be at the max operating temps. Replacing all the caps seems like a
fair bit of trouble, especially if the result is a possible loss of
sound quality if the new caps are inferior to the originals, in terms
of audio quality. Any insight is appreciated!

physics. At no pressure, at 0C, is water both a liquid and a gas, therefor
water *CANNOT BOIL* at 0C. It must become a solid when transitioning
between a liquid and gas at 0C.

All this pedantic nashing of teeth for people who can't even read common
English syntax is amazing.
Correct physics is pedantic? Nice try, but perhaps you want to look at
the phase diagram again.

Since, by your own admission, the boiling and freezing point
temperatures of water are pressure dependent, I invite you to state
what pressure would be required to be exerted on a volume of liquid
water in order to cause it to boil at 0°C.

The answer of course is: not much.

Hmmm...

Same as the answer to: "What does Floyd L. Davidson know about
anything?".

He appears to be confusing sublimation and evaporation with boiling.

*Look* at the statement:

Water can "boil" at 0C too.

It is *correct*, as you've all been very hasty to demonstrate.
It is not so precise as to say "at 0.010C", but certainly that
value is well within the normal meaning of "0C" (what, -.5 to
+.5 C!).

Whether it's "correct" or not is moot. What you were challenged to do
was to provide the _pressure_ required to make water boil at 0°C. You
have't done that, and your ploy of using others' answers as if they
were your own is typical of your ilk: know-nothing posers who are
shown how a magic trick works and then pretend they knew how it worked
all along. Positively Fourth Street.
---

And while sublimation might happen at that temperature too, as
might just simple evaporation, the fact that it doesn't break
into a full nucleate boiling state does *not* make what was
stated wrong either.
---
"Existing as a vapor" doesn't constitute boiling, dumbass.

But all of your squirming and name calling clearly does identify
each of you! I don't need to call any of you names, because *you*
are providing everyone who reads these articles with all they need
to know, whether someone actually puts a label on it or not.
---
You're doing a pretty good job of painting an accurate portrait of
yourself, and when it's done I'm sure the consensus around here will
be that all that's missing from it is the label it needs: "Asshole".
---

If course when *you* provide so many handy labels, you'll have to
expect readers to use exactly those when they think of you.
---
"If" course?

I suggest that you've got enough to worry about just trying to take
care of yourself without taking on the extra load of assuming you can
predict how others will behave under any given set of circumstances.

My NAD 3125 may need new caps (it is 20 years old). All original caps
look fine, and are ELNA brand, either RE or CE series. I cannot find
ELNA online, although I may check a local store. I've been told
Panasonic FC series are good. Are they a suitable replacement for the
originals? They are "low impedance" - is this the important criteria
for audio? ELNA appears to be well respected in the audio world from a
bit of searching I've done, so I don't want to lose any of the
original NAD sound by using the wrong caps.

The one problem my amp has (see earlier post) seems to be isolated to
the left channel infrasonic filter section. Assuming I can resolve this
be replacing the caps in that section, should I just quit there?

Many people have said to just replace all caps on a 20 year old amp,
but the Panasonic spec sheets show that 20-30 years is a reasonable
lifespan for caps at near room temps. The 1000-2000 hrs ratings seem to
be at the max operating temps. Replacing all the caps seems like a
fair bit of trouble, especially if the result is a possible loss of
sound quality if the new caps are inferior to the originals, in terms
of audio quality. Any insight is appreciated!
Panasonic FC capacitors are electrolytics. The high-value electrolytics you
mentioned (50v 4700uF and 1000uF) will be used in the power supply section,
which is working fine in your amplifier (I think you said your amplifier is
working fine with CD and DVD inputs, but not with tuner and VCR inputs.)

For the problem you have - weak signal on left channel when using tuner or
VCR inputs - you need to establish the cause. I'd guess it's a defective
switch or connection somewhere.

It could be a very minor fault, but may take an engineer several hours to
track down.
