| Speaker noise after tube amp shut down Well, do the speaker lead swap to eliminate the speaker. If the speakers are eliminated then put the leads back to the correct L & R connections and swap the amplifiers input IC's from the preamp now if the sound is still in the same speaker w... | |
| Speaker noise after tube amp shut down Exactly what kind of noise? Pop cracking fading ocean wave? Usually tubes make their aches and pains in the rear known when full power to the grid is present not de-energized. Im gonna say for an experiment switch the speaker leads to the opposite... | |
| Paranoid on Tube Amp Install You can power a tube amp without a load but once you send a signal from the preamp to the unloaded tube amp say bye bye to the amplifiers power transformers. As everyone has stated dont power up a tube amplifier without load as a rule | |
| Speaker noise after tube amp shut down I doubt a tube sounds more like a capacitor discharging. Does this happen every time or only the one time. How old is the amp? | |
| Comparing ARC, Lamm and Modwright Preamps I'm Assuming Rrolack is interested in sound characteristics between the three preamps. I can only give my experience with the Lamm & ARC.I believe the Lamm gear is a more minimalist approach. The LL2 Deluxe version includes higher end capacito... | |
| Comparing ARC, Lamm and Modwright Preamps I can give you some insight to ARC & Lamm. I chose the Lamm LL2 deluxe a much livelier preamp with the stock tubes. Crystal clear dead quiet with tighter faster bass response than the ARC.ARC pre's are also dead quiet but seemed just to flat s... | |
| MC-7250 vs. Parasound HCA-1205A & Adcom GFA-565's I think the fair comparison would to replace the Parasound with the Mcintosh.The Adcom will outclass the Mcintosh in power. But once you get the Mac you will see and hear the difference in quality | |
| Wilson Sasha versus Watt Puppy 8 Wow you guys are tough on the overpriced mighty Wilson's. Very surprised to see so much criticism. I've liked Wilson's in the past but thought they really didn't compete well with other speakers in their price class.If say the MAXX was in the pric... | |
| Good Amp for Martin Logan Monolith II Get a McIntosh Mc-2300 7270 or 7300 300/watts/ch 1500-2000 in excellent condition and will drive any impedance curve the Monoliths can through at itARC is also a great amp for the Monoliths but they will be pricier being tube amps with the same ou... | |
| sweep tubes and audio application? Mcintosh Mc-3500 & mi-350 use the 6lq6 6mj6 sweep tube. Kirkus is correct about the transformer winding ratio's as the Mc-3500's have three separate transformers one of them being a very complicated winding configuration with only one company ... | |
| My New Manely Steelhead Tube rolling never ends. I tried some Tele's 6922 and no real significant change It seems the 5687 are the key tubes to roll into the Manley Hold out for the Tungsol black plates from the late 40's Simply the best in the ManleyThe 6922/6dj8 Bugles... | |
| My New Manely Steelhead My bad only two Bugle boy 6dj8's from the 50's or early 60's Tungsol 5687 black plate quad (very rare but can be found) I buy all my tubes here on the Gon from a small handful of purveyors. You dont need NOS but a decent matched pair & quad wi... | |
| My New Manely Steelhead Probably one of the best. I have the vs.2 and this is one very flexible phono pre.If you have the extra $ get a quad of 50's Bugle boy 6dj8's and a quad of Tungsol Late 40's ladder black plates. You will throw the stock tubes in the trash. What a ... |
