| Low-heat-output amp for Devore O/96 How about a timer on your AC outlet? Or a circuit that senses that when there is no signal for a while, it shuts off?I used to live in Asheville and it got pretty humid in the summer. It does that here in Minnesota too. So far, I've not had to res... | |
| Oomph or pressure? And yet there are guys out there who don’t care for the result. “It sucks the life out of the music”, is a commonly heard refrain (really - I’m being serious here!). Maybe they are reacting psychologically to the need to turn the volume control ... | |
| Low-heat-output amp for Devore O/96 Rather than sacrifice your sound on account of heat (which both solid state and tube amps make), how about install a vent in the ceiling so you can vent hotter air out of the house? Its inexpensive (maybe $300) and is a lot cheaper than getting an... | |
| Oomph or pressure? is that normal for a passive?It is a common complaint.Passive systems, which include transformer volume controls, are a bit too simple to do their job perfectly. That is why you see so many threads about this topic.If all the parameters surroundin... | |
| Speaker Suggestions for 300b SET Amp If 7 watts won’t do it, you’ll need a lot more power due to the logarithmic characteristic of the human ear. The hotter tweeters were the result of simply pushing the amps too hard. | |
| Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57? We've had a number of customers running stacked Quad 57s. They used our M-60 amplifiers, and the Quads were wired in series. David Magnan of Magnan Cable fame ran this combo for years prior to his retirement. | |
| Getting into tubes If I am going for tube sound I want to do just that which means tube rectified and not s/s rectified which is what many manufacturers do. Decware uses tube rectification and I have held on to my Taboo EL84 based tube amp. From what I recall... | |
| Low level buzzing coming from tweeters. @ncarvIf a tube is doing this, it won’t be one of the output tubes. They can make cracking and popping sounds but a low level buzz is unlikely. | |
| ARC Ref 75SEs - great with Wilson or Dynaudio speakers. What about Vandersteen 2CI? The 2CI is very tube friendly so I think its totally worth a shot. | |
| Autobiasing tube amp failure Consider yourself lucky as a few times they blew out my Tweeters.A tube failure won't blow out a tweeter! Tweeters fail because the amp being used is underpowered and is making too much distortion when driven too hard. My question is how can this ... | |
| New Technics SL1200G turntable We've been using a mat made by Oracle that works pretty well. | |
| Small room electrostat/ planar speaker? All planar speakers-certainly all magnepans-have crossovers; this is a main reason I prefer single driver or other non-conventional crossover designs, e.g. 1st order crossovers or "super tweeters" crossed over way up high with a simple filter (... | |
| Getting into tubes Are you referring to the S-30 amp? The only issue may be how much heat it produces. I see it draws 400 watts and assuming much of that gets disappated. My room is small and heats up quickly, plus I live in Southern California where it really do... | |
| Mellow speakers for a digital piano Seriously, try out a reverb. Its highly likely that is part of the sound you are after. | |
| Where do I start-amp or speakers ? You'll tie your hands behind your back if you buy the amp first. Well, if you get a big Sound Lab, there really aren't a lot of amps that drive that speaker all that well. But it is at the same time one of the most transparent and full range speak... |
