I got a great price on them shipped to my door for 6K.
Sounds like I should unload them now and not even turn the space heaters on.
I can rebuy the S30. BB why do you think the AS is better? |
Anyone still using this amp in their system? |
The amps are coming Monday. Sold the AS S30 to a friend down the st so we shall hear if the T is better than the A. The AS has two more space heater tubes than the Tenor so I am hoping that they give off the same amount of heat. The S30 was border line to much heat in the summer. |
Gee T thanks for the great news. You made my day. My wide will love this extra hear in the summer.
Looks as if the seller gave me BSHSCS and cat $hit all in one pile. |
My ceiling goes up to the 2nd floor loft and are 22' high. All the heat goes up there so maybe put a fan in the window and blow it out of the house?
Why did I sell my AS S30. A smart ass for sure. Maybe the seller is right and after an hour they give off very little heat LOL. |
A miscarriage. Wanted to sell a SS amp to me after the miscarriage but with my 16 ohm speakers not any SS amp will work. Talking to Zu I was told NOT to buy it as it did nor meet their specs.
OTL amps are the best sounding amps on these speakers.
So I will buy a fan and install it in the small door opening that goes to the attic to drive the trapped heat in the loft area that will be generated by the Tenor space heaters. |
I live in Destin which is in the panhandle of FL. As my wife says lower AL.
With my open floor plan of my house and the fan thought I might be able to pull it of.
Tube,
thanks for the offer to hear your amP. When in the area I will look you up. |
Ralph,
More Power more heat more space more AC cables. Great move yes? |
OK so we have 2 hour + on the Tenor amps. My thoughts are a lot of heat and the best amps/sound I have ever heard out of my system.
Jonathan helped set the amps up by phone after the seller caused me to wonder if he knew anything about the amp. You may not always agree with Jonathan but he does have a passion for this hobby called audio. Treated me as if he just sold me the amps yesterday. Thank you so very much J.
I would rather listen to this amp one hour and turn it off for the sake of heat in the summer than listen all night to a lesser sounding amp.
More thought later as I break these suckers in.
Oh buy the way I have the 7th pair made so who are you that first bought these? |
Ok so these suckers run hot. A northern amp for sure. My 22' ceilings are allowing me some time in May but JJA I will have wait and see. The 15w would be a better fit for me.
The Tenor OTL is a world class amp and every positive word spoken about It is true. |
Have a chance to get the Tenor HP 150 from Tenor.
The Tenor is mind boggling. Far above my AS S30 in every area. Bass has texture and vocals are 3D and real sounding. Duke Ellington's band sounds so natural and organic in the brass section. That is an area I never heard sound so right in my system. |
Zu thought a Transcendent amp would sound good on my speakers. |
So the Tenor OTL is a very quiet amp. Sticking my ear next to PDIFthe Zu Audio Presence speakers & 101 Db I hear no noise/ sound. The Atmasphere S 30 was all about hum/noise in my system.
Running my Lampazator Dac straight into the amps was better than having my Dude preamp in the chain. The Dude is sold and gone.
These amps have placed me in the Zone, a place I have never been in audio in ten years.
Have a fan blowing upward in my fireplace to draw the heat out of the house. Seems to be working. Can not wait for the fall to run fbm all night.
How do I explain to the the wife why our electric bill is so high?
The Lampazator dac is in the same league as the Tenor amp. 7 days to hear it and buy it. When you hear it you will not send it back! |
Yes my wife wants them in the fireplace but it to small for both amps.
A couple of days ago I was running the fan to draw the heat up the fireplace and I began to sweat from the heat of the amps in the room. The fan had fallen off the prop I rigged up for it and it was blowing in the wrong direction. Setting it back up restored order to the listening room so I do believe it works as I thought.
Hurry up Fall. |
Can I use the 5751 tube in the Tenor OTL? |
No you can not use the 5751 tube.
Anyone try different 12ax7a tubes rather than the JJ tubes Tenor specs out? |
