| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Mark,I responded to the your post in my system's page.The trumpet is a good phono stage no question! The Chenin though is special. It has that liquid midrange but dynamics on the top and bottom are well balance. The Trumpet's bass is authori... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Mark,OT but, any news on the tubes?regards,Abe | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century abe:the yamamoto is a 45 tube amp and it is tube rectified. i have a few 80 tubes that i can roll to see if that reduces the hum. i emailed kevin covi and he seems to believe the hum is caused by the 101D tube as when i switch the amp to mute, the... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Kgturner,Hmm....I was hoping that the cable will solve your hum problem. I guess spreading the components out is the next thing to try.So, when you use a different preamp, you do not have a hum? If yes, then does the preamp and amp have a gr... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century 03-07-08: StiltskinAbe, You been busy!Hello Stiltskin! Nice to see you here again. Yep! Building a 2A3/45 amp and troubleshooting a 300B amp at the moment. Not to consider the time hunting for some nice horns for my future speaker project.Life is ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Kgturner,abe:i'm gonna try the cable route first as my yamamoto and cabernet are only connected with cheapie red/white throw away cables. i noticed that when the yamamoto is turned on, the hum starts and the cab only amplifies it due to it's... | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century Abe:I don't have a scope nor any access to one that I'm aware of. The hum sounds like a typical ground loop hum to me (60 Hz). I can try the shielded cable route, but I'd likely have to build it. What you're saying is connect the ground and shield... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Kgturner,I doubt it if the hum is cause by a tube. Do you have a scope? I ask because you can measure what freq your hum is. 60 hertz and it could be mechanical (tube or transformers vibrating) or filament supply voltage, 120 Hz. and it sure... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I noticed you have the Linkwitz Orion open baffle loudspeaker, what's your honest opinion of it? I've been interested to try it out, is it as transparent as the Maggies or is it just cones & domes doing their usual thing? Also, does the OB bas... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Paul,I will never own a Cortese. Not because of monetary issues but I just do not need one.I use a Chenin FF preamp with Mullard 8080 and Amperex BB's on the phono section. I have an Altec 604-8G's in OB and 612C Altec cabs, a Fostex MLTL, a... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century why do other people try to latch onto to this thread to pimp other brands preamps? i'm sure the h-cat, audio horizon, and dodd preamps are excellent in their own right, but this is a supratek discussion thread. Exactly! Don't waste your time, jeal... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century 06-26-07: AmandaraeHello Sorlowski,My Chenin is #238 and it has an Auricap (1uF) at the output for both channels of course. Are you sure you are looking at the output caps? Maybe Mick change it who knows but just want to be sure you are looking at... |
