| Are new tubes supposed to do this? My other tube that was good now went up in flame too. Somehow the bad tube is now affecting others ... like a virus. | |
| Are new tubes supposed to do this? John: I am not sure if the amp delays the B+ at turn on.On thing I forgot to mention is that I replace the tube when the amp is slightly warm. Maybe there was a mismatch in temprature between the tube at turn on but I am not sure.On thing I notice... | |
| Switching polarity of tweeter in two-way design As for tilting the baffle to align time and phase of the tweeter to the woofer, does the degree of tilting depends on the x-over only or only on the acoustic characteristic of tweeter itself? | |
| Gallo Acoustics Reference III vs. Hyperion HPS-938 Gaudio_eek: That is a only preview. The reviewer did not make any atempt to compare the two speakers. | |
| Weather-induced amp performance variation Eldarthford: I guess age of the listener has much too do as age of equipment :-) | |
| Driver efficiency vs. overall speaker efficiency Sorry , I meant 87.5db. It was a typo. I was looking at various Vifa and Scan Speak mid-range drivers and almost all of them has an efficiency rating of 87db or less. So I was wondering how one can build a speaker using those driver but can achiev... | |
| Spendor S5e vs. S6e? What HiFi actually prefered the S5e over the S6e by a wide margin and the S5e has received nothing but high praise from pretty much every hifi publications out there, while a couple of reviews from What HiFI and HiFi Choise on the S6e have been in... | |
| Spendor Audio vs. B&W Nautilus Speakers I think you have to be careful about system matching. If you have quality amp then I would recommend B&W. But since you mention you'll be using Rotel which is a rather bright amp, I would not recommend B&W since B&W are very revealing.... | |
| Capacitor-less amps I think what he meant is that no caps in the signal path. I think Arcam Diva series do not have caps in the signal path either. They use some kind of servo circuits on the output to remove any DC residual.But for the power section of the amp, ther... | |
| Best speaker for $1500???, Have Cary SLI-80 How about a pair of Living Voice Auditorium -- I think their rating is in the 90's db? I have the Avatar and they are really good. Just a word of caution though. If you're looking for bass then these are probably not for you. | |
| Help me pick a tube amp for Thiel 2.4's If you're thinking of using tube with Thiel, you might want to try the Zero Autotransformer which can double up the impedance of the speakers. | |
| What is the benefit of low efficiency speakers? At least in theory, a 4 ohm load can source twice as much current as a 8 ohm load given the same amp. Twice the amount of current mean into a 4 ohm load means the speakers can handle twice as much power in wattage.Nowaday, a lot of speakers manufa... | |
| Trade-off between soundstage vs. PRAT PRAT actually stands for pace, rhythm, attack and timing.But I think "timing" covers all others three.It all has to do with how a speaker handles transient sound. There are usually three things associate with a note being played. First there is an... | |

| Von Schweikert vs Meadowlark vs Triangle I had a chance to listen to the Osprey's driven by Aragon Pre-Pro and 5 channel amp, but the system and the room was not optimal for a two channel setup.I came from the British type of sound and the Osprey sound a little bit different that was not... |
