| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Joe, thanks very much for the nice words. And best of luck as you proceed on this issue.Best regards,-- Al | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Joe, if possible I would suggest that voltage readings be taken both with the Elrogs installed and with the tubes Israel originally supplied installed.Regards,-- Al | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Good question, Roscoe, as I should have clarified that statement further. If I position the window cursor close to the direct sound arrival, say within 3 ms or so to cite an extreme example, and then look at the frequency response on the next scre... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Thanks, Rebbi. Glad my suggestion worked out, and thank you kindly for the acknowledgement. Enjoy!Best regards,-- Al | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Bruce, yes, thanks for sharing these things with me. I'll look forward to the measurements and/or pics, in part because I'm curious as to what kind of room configuration they would consider to be too small for your speakers.Roscoe, so far I've tri... | |
| Hum in phono that comes and goes Tough problem. Just a guess, but I would suspect the phono stage or its power supply. And a conceivable scenario would be that a capacitor in the power supply that is connected between AC "hot" and chassis/AC safety ground for purposes of filterin... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD 06-20-15: Mattnshilp...he suggested I add a sub to the room connected in series from the amps to speakers (high output terminals). He specifically said not to pull the signal low level from the pre-amp. He said to put the sub behind the listening ... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Thanks, Charles. I'm still fairly early in the process of "dialing in" the DEQX, which is a somewhat complex and lengthy one especially given that I've chosen to do it all myself without utilizing the optional service they offer of assisting remot... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes 06-19-15: Charles1dadAl, I know your VAC REN 300b amplifier is considered a highly tuned design that's said to be tough on the 300b. Are certain tubes selected/screened by Kevin Hayes to match the amplifier's demands? The Pavane/Shuguang black gla... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes I've just read through this entire thread, having been referred to it by Tmmvinyl today in another thread. Charles & Bill (Brownsfan), thanks for the nice words earlier in the thread.After examining the Elrog 300B datasheet, and comparing it w... | |
| NOS Western Electric 101D "tennis ball" tube Good point, Charles. According to datasheets I have for the original WE tubes (in the book "Western Electric Tube Data" published by Antique Electronic Supply), both the tennis ball and dome versions of the vintage WE tube had 4 pins of equal thic... | |
| NOS Western Electric 101D "tennis ball" tube You're welcome! The print edition of Antique Radio Classified seems to be getting published very infrequently in the last couple of years, so what I'd suggest is a web-only subscription. You would then be able to place free want ads that would app... | |
| NOS Western Electric 101D "tennis ball" tube You might want to consider taking out a subscription to Antique Radio Classified, and placing a want ad there. I wouldn't be surprised if some of their subscribers have NOS WE 101D's they would be willing to sell at reasonable prices.Also, you mig... | |
| Zero autoformers -- how to measure impedance? But it looks like something upstream is feeding DC into your amp that, when amplified, creates a -22.6mV at the NAD output. What do you think, Almarg??Yes it does, but the number is so small I wouldn't worry about it. 22.6 mv into 8 ohms is 0.0000... | |
| Zero autoformers -- how to measure impedance? Hello Ryan & Bombaywalla,The reason I suggested making the measurement "with the component driving the amp turned on but not providing a signal" is so that in the event that all of the electronics is DC coupled, and a large DC voltage is being... |
