| Silent Running Audio (SRA) - new Web site now on-line Glad he got it back up and running. | |
| Speaker Suggestions for 300b SET Amp Both the tweeter and midrange compression drivers incorporate Kilpsch’s best- effort phasing plugs to maintain coherent wave fronts, and both have been updated to titanium diaphragms for extended response and lower distortionThe phase plugs are... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? Is it possible that one of the reasons that Valve amps sound so good is that they tend to use much lower amounts of feedback that most transistor amps? I have noticed that the sound seems to open out as I select lower amounts of feedback.You can... | |
| Speaker Suggestions for 300b SET Amp Having researched this issue myself now for quite a while, if I were running a SET and looking for good sounding HE speakers to match on a budget, that can play ANY kind of music well, Klipsch Heresy III, hands down, easy decision. These were o... | |
| 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 ... | |
