| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode I am not arguing with what anyone is saying; I have stated before that I am illiterate on these subjects. I was simply directly quoting from the owners manual that came with my amp when I bought it. Although he didn't write it that way, is it p... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode I just took a look at the specs listed in the V12 owner’s manual and under feedback it says "zero." @immatthewj UL operation is feedback FWIW. To know how much you'd have to compare to pentode operation, which isn't an option... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode @immatthewj You don't have to dig deep on this one. The Dynaco ST70 is arguably the most famous ultra-linear amplifier made although all the Dynaco amps were ultra-linear. | |
| What Power Amplifier Should I Buy? The brands I think of are horrible choices: ZU Audio and Klipsch. @kevemaher I don't see any problem with the ZUs. They easily keep up with the studio monitors @lynn_olson was recommending. The Klipsch, harder to say; if you want the most dynam... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode Meaning that I guess he probably "voiced" the V12 in triode, but for at least the present moment, I am preferring UL. @immatthewj IMO 'voicing' is a bad practice. I very much doubt this amp was 'voiced'. I think the term ultra linear is marke... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode So if the manufacturer spends the extra money for a UL winding they would, seemingly, have optimised it for the tube type and circuit. @viridian This assumes that the manufacturer knew about the patent and designed according to it rather than t... | |
| What Power Amplifier Should I Buy? In reality, speakers with efficiencies in the 87 to 90 dB/meter range typically experience power compression with amplifiers more powerful than 100 watts, @lynn_olson To be clear, the amplifier power is only part of that, the other being the lo... | |
| 300B Tube Amps with 15/16 Watts Per Channel? If you use a Hammond, you will never hear what the circuit can do.... @donsachs Great for small guitar amps though! | |
| 300B Tube Amps with 15/16 Watts Per Channel? Or you can simply use speakers that will run happily on 10 watts and build a very simple (well not that simple actually if you consider power supplies and transformers, etc..) push pull amp with no feedback that is flat from 20-20K with very low... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers for Luxman 590axii? @immatthewj I get it. I was looking for a smaller tube amp and I found that SETs that could make 5 Watts aren't small. The amp I'm using can sit on a sheet of notebook paper with room left over. When you compare PP amps that make the same power as... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode but in the manual for the V12, Dennis Had is saying that tubes that can be roled in this amp include; 6L6, KT88, 6550, KT90, KT66, "even 6V6." Again, with not intent of being argumentative, does this sound incorrect? @immatthewj Not exactly.... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode @gs5556 Your explanation is partially correct. The bit about 'partial triode' is not. What UL allows is for a pentode to have better linearity than a triode. However there's been a wrinkle caused by the fact that the UL technology was the topic o... | |
| Tour of the inside Sound Lab ESL electrostatic speaker. Looks like a garage operation. @hiendmmoe Doesn't look like it to me. Looks like a finished room with a higher ceiling, helpful when working on Sound Labs. | |
| Bookshelf Speakers for Luxman 590axii? I was recently reading a "bookshelf speaker with lower power tube amp thread" (20 wpc I think I remember) on this forum, and the subject of Fritz Carbon 6 or 7s with 4 or 5 wpc SET amp driving them quite well. I remember @atmasphere was the one ... | |
| 300B Tube Amps with 15/16 Watts Per Channel? I will also say that I prefer amps with zero feedback, but @atmasphere and I will diverge there, and that is just fine. @donsachs I wasn't a fan of feedback for a long time. Here are two things for you to consider: the first being that in most... |
