| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS Where did he get the amp if it's not even on the website? We're doing limited production and the product page isn't yet up. | |
| Nakamichi 600 repair question @misterbobman This symptom is typical of the tires used in the deck becoming perished and so don't have the traction they should. Eventually the take up spindle can't handle the load presented by the cassette and so stops turning. When that happen... | |
| Tiny Room (6' x 9') speaker advice https://www.vandersteen.com/products/vlr-ct This speaker is not very efficient, but according to Richard Vandersteen that's because it has far less breakups than most speakers, so should sound detailed and smooth. Its a nice size and goes down lo... | |
| Preamp recommendations for Quad IIs with ESL-57s @scrumpymanjack has this Quad preamp of yours been refurbished since new? If not, its in dire need regardless of the condition of the tubes. I am repeating this; I forgot to mention that if the unit has not been properly refurbished recently, the... | |
| Selecting Analog Gear Based on Music Preference? @jsqt It does, but bass is very much a thing in classical music too. The Saint Saens Organ Symphony has pedal tones that are 16Hz which can really shake the place up. Bass drum whacks occur in all sorts of classical music. So the turntable needs a... | |
| Selecting Analog Gear Based on Music Preference? @jsqt The main thing to keep in mind is that the idea that there's no way to design audio equipment to favor a certain genre! If someone can find a way they'd be a millionaire overnight. Put another way, what's good for classical or jazz is also g... | |
| Replacement woofer for Green Mouintain Audio Europa Replacing paper cone won't help broken voice coil btw. A good reconing service can replace the voice coil and use the old cone. Some cones come with the voice coil. | |
| Atma-Sphere MP1 with single-ended inputs and outputs? Adapters OK? @parsons Just a FWIW, any SET can be set up (if you see what I did there š) to use both phases of a balanced signal. Its easy to do, inexpensive and does not change the character of the amp. By doing it this way there is no buzz or the like. That ... | |

| the cart or the horse? Low power amps donāt sound better they just have less power. This statement is problematic. Most traditional amps of A or AB design tend to sound better in lower powered embodiments. In the case of all transformer coupled tube amps its because ... | |
| Replacement woofer for Green Mouintain Audio Europa The 6 inch woofer is an Aura NS6-255-4A. You might look into a reconing service like Midwest speaker Quite often the parts are available even if the manufacturer has gone out of business. | |
| Atma-Sphere MP1 with single-ended inputs and outputs? Adapters OK? I think the isolation transformer should have gain volume control and let you get the right gain after the transformer, as the signal will become weakĀ if no gain increase and that's the reason I give up the way to use Jensen isolation. There a... | |
| Practicality of reversing frequency response curve of phono cartridge / stylus Having said all that good phono cartridges are relatively flat. Actually any magnetic or moving coil cartridge is known as a constant velocity device, which is to say that their output doubles with doubling the speed at which the stylus vibrate... | |
| component grounding I recently bought a Zero Zone tube preamplifier.....It has a three prong plug but the ground terminal is not connected. How can they sell this in the USA (Especially Illinois) where in many states,Ā everything with a plug needs UL approval.Can an... | |
| 2 vs 8 tubes in preamp, sound difference? Why would more of any component be presumed to sound better? Its possible for anything to be too simple to do its job. For example, if there is only a single tube in a line section, you might have a fairly high output impedance, which will be e... |
