| Class D Technology Tube amps generally require certain speakers that are an easier load and more efficient to shine. This is true of all amps including class D. You can see it in the specs. If high end audio reproduction is your goal, there is no argument for a spea... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Does vibration of any form effect electrical performance in electronics and why? The why is microphonics. The devices affected are tubes, transistors, film capacitors and cables. The most microphonic tubes I've seen are frame grid triodes of the 6... | |
| Enough SET Power for Rock and Roll you'll find yourself turning it down to 50-60 decibels and about 2-3 watts per channel,There is a reason that it appears that you don't need the power if you have SETs. It has to do with how they distort and how the human ear/brain system uses hig... | |
| Class D Technology The switching time is an issue. The output devices have to switch on and off at a pretty high speed. The problem is, they can't both be conducting at the same time. That is to say, it takes a certain amount of time for the devices to turn on and t... | |
| is it ok to leave a tube amp on without speakers connected Dynaco's ST70 manual does not recommend leaving the speakers off.The trick is make sure there is no signal input. For modern amps best to check with the manufacturer. | |
| Power conditioner help I think any balanced transformer, actually any transformer, would benefit greatly from a reduction in incoming ac line harmonics; just as industrial users do. Suggestions atmasphere?Of course! Line harmonics are quite deleterious to transformer ... | |

| is it ok to leave a tube amp on without speakers connected The answer is yes IF the amp is stable. If it is not, then the amp can be damaged. If left without a load, the amp should not have a signal applied to it as without a load the transformer can arc. But I've seen many tube amps you could leave on al... | |
| Power conditioner help An isolation transformer would be beneficial; 2 would be better. 1 for your digital player and 1 for analog source; however "balanced transformers" like Equitech are better yet.An isolation transfomer that is being used as a passive device will ... | |

| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. by far these panels are far better controlled with the High Current of a Solid StateAmplifier, where Vacuum tubes are Voltage driven .Current is what you need to get ultimate control ,with a Vacuum tube preamp you can still have the sonic signa... | |
| ...a second listen is that across the board with all tables?Yes. The problem is finding a mat that is neutral. Obviously a lot of them cause more problems than they solve so no mat at all might be preferable in some cases.How do your findings relate to a tt with a v... | |
| ...a second listen The mat is a pretty important part of the turntable! It controls resonance in the vinyl caused by the tracking of the cartridge. If not controlled, the resonance can talk back to the needle and so mess up the sound.The proper mat will be of the sa... | |
| Is my amp the problem? Wow- that's a rather scathing indictment on a Crown class D amp. Can't even keep up with an aging and clearly limping conventional solid state amp. Sheesh. | |
| Experience with Tannoy Westminster Royal Gold Reference Our customers have had really good comments working with this speaker. It seems to be very tube friendly. |
