| How am I frying all my amps? Oscillating? Help You may have the polarity reversed in your wall socket. Even though the plug only fits one way, the wires may be switched (i.e. hot wire on neutral screw and vice-versa). If so, that can definitely fry capacitors in your amps. Have an electrician ... | |
| High Efficiency Dynamic Speaker Suggestions Please Sounds like a job for Zu! Zu Druids do not need to be far from the front wall (in fact boundary reinforcement gives them a bit more bass), are very efficient (101db/w/m) and can tolerate having a TV between them (I used to have them set up like th... | |
| VPI TT - Scoutmaster, Aries or TNT-Jr? I guess I'm wondering why VPI has three different TTs at about the same price point. Do they offer different sound, is one preferable for rock, another for classical, is one more upgradable, does one offer lower noise, the other better dynamics, e... | |
| Cartridge upgrade for VPI Scoutmaster AudioFeil,I have noticed in a few of your posts that you are not a fan of the JMW-9 arm. Do you think any more highly of the JMW-9 Signature? | |
| Reliable Sources for 6SN7 Tubes Try the new Tung-Sol 6SN7 re-issues from Russia. You can get them at any of the big tube-sellers like Tube Depot. I have had then in my Supratek for about 40 hours of on-time so far and I LOVE them. In my system, they have most of the dynamics and... | |
| 2-ways and 3-ways Actually, an argument could also be made in the exact opposite direction as well. Advances in materials and electronics have also led to full-range drivers becoming much better. In addition, a full-range driver speaker has NO crossover in the "pre... | |
| Power Plant Premier I have the PPP and I think highly of it. My voltage is 120V here in the US. It usually comes into the PPP at 2-3% THD and comes out at 0.4-0.5% THD. I notice a darker background and more "air" around the performers with the PPP, as well as what se... | |
| Zu Druid Mk IV owners, what speaker cable to use? I just bought a pair of Zu Ibis to upgrade my Druid MkIV rig from Zu Julians (which aren't bad at $250/pair). I should be getting them in a few days and I will post my opinions on which I prefer. By the way, I'm running the Druids with a tube prea... | |
| Which Herbie's Product is Best? Thanks for all the advice! I just ordered 4 Tenderfeet for my CD/HD player and 6 Isocups with lampblack balls for my preamp and preamp power supply. | |
| Which Herbie's Product is Best? So do you use 3 or 4 isocups per unit? I see a lot of recommendations for 3, but will the unit be stable with only 3 points? | |
| Maddening HUMMMM I just sent the Jensen back yesterday - I assume they sent me the latest version as I only got it last week. I couldn't get any channels on my digital cable when it was installed; hope you have better luck! | |
| Maddening HUMMMM I had a similar issue with my system and it was the cable line. I tried the $59.00 Jensen isolation transformers but I couldn't get any picture on my digital cable (Verizon FIOS) with them installed. Got the channel guide, but none of the channels... | |
| Help pick next speakers: Have Paradigm, Totem How about Zu? Depending on your budget, either the Druid, Presence or Definition would seem to fit your needs very well. I have the Druids with the Mini-Method sub and I find them very non-fatiguing, with killer imaging and tons of punch when I as... | |
| Tung-Sol Reissue 6SN7 vs EH 6SN7 - Differences One thing I forgot to mention - it seems that the TS like to be driven a little harder than the EH. When I first swapped in the TS, they sounded light in the bass and lower mids. The Chenin is very adjustable, though, so I moved the gain switches ... | |
| Tung-Sol Reissue 6SN7 vs EH 6SN7 - Differences I know - that's what I keep hearing. I'm just trying to find what I like in the current-production world first - NOS is expensive and you never know what you're actually getting from the seller. I'm sure I'll succumb to the NOS bug sooner or later... |
