| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! UpscaleAudio9-23-2017 It was a small cap in the right channel, NOT the Mundorf coupling caps. We suspect an oscillation as my service tech here works for another brand that was faced with the same problem. Kevin, thanks for providing us with the c... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... @rauliruegas & @nonoise, thank you for your gracious and reasonable responses to my previous post.To some of the other recent posters: Regarding "I am there" vs. "they are here," the following thread from 2010 may be of interest, in which ther... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! Thorloki 9-22-2017 The amplifier used was the Bryston 28B SST3 1,000 watt per channel mono blocks.... Thorloki 9-22-2017As for Bryston amps DC protection, I personally spoke to Mr. Brian Russell, one of the owners of Bryston, and he ASSURED me, th... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Rauliruegas 9-22-2017 I decided to do it thinking that if the power line now is fully regulated and bullet proff with surge protrectors then the item input fuses are just out of the " equation ", we don't need it any more. Nonoise 9-22-2017 I... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Thank you, Tom (Theaudiotweak). Based on your input I was able to find the patents listed here that have been granted to Mr. Denney, under his own name. However, as far as I can see none of them appear to be related to fuses.Regards,-- Al | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Thank you, Tom (Theaudiotweak). For the record, though, his name is spelled "Denney," not "Denny." That misspelling has also been made by a number of others during the course of this thread.The only mention of SR or any of its products I found ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Wolf_Garcia 9-21-2017Anybody able to locate the above mentioned "UEF Tech" patent? I'd be interested in whatever the heck THAT says. Wolfie, I did a search at the U.S. Patent Office website (uspto.gov) of both granted patents and patent applicat... | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification David, we’ll see what Ralph has to say, but I would be skeptical about the suitability of the S-30 for use with a 4 ohm speaker, albeit one that apparently has a particularly flat impedance curve, given the amp’s 7 ohm output impedance and also it... | |
| Test Equipment vs The Ear Not everything that is audible is measurable, and not everything that is measurable is audible. There is probably no practical limit to the number of examples that could be cited to illustrate each of those two cases. To the designer, measurement... | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification David_Ten, if an OTL may be of interest I’d suggest that you check out the following listing here for a pair of Atma-Sphere M-60s:https://www.audiogon.com/listings/tube-mk-3-3-2017-09-01-amplifiers The seller is Duke of Audiokinesis, and based on ... | |
| Recordings that only sound good on resolving systems My experience, at least on the classical recordings which comprise most of my listening, has been that more often than not increased resolution of fine detail tends to make poor recordings less objectionable. For example, on an overly bright orche... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Jinjuku 9-14-2017... I’ll stand pat on a properly constructed, passes spec, Blue Jeans CAT6 vs a boutique cable that also passes spec and similarly constructed. And when I say of similar construction I’m talking the shield if any and how it’s conn... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Jinjuku 9-14-2017People that are discerning these differences are describing real time phenomena to a non-realtime system of data transmission. It is 100% delusion pure and simple. This assumes that all of the circuitry that is involved performs i... | |
| Man this is frustrating The 10x5 is a high output moving coil cartridge having a rated output under the standard test conditions of 2.5 mv. You may want to consider the Signal Cable Silver Resolution Reference Phono cable. Assuming the cable would have a typical length... | |
| Man this is frustrating What make and model is the cartridge that you have? And how long do the cables need to be, especially the one connecting the turntable to the phono stage?If it is a low output moving coil cartridge, the lower the cable’s capacitance (which is prop... |
