| Wish List For Vinyl Pressings Right- so for this to work we need to get the right LP title :)Should I start another thread or can we vote?? | |
| Preamp Noise with High-Efficiency Speakers This could be caused by a ground loop. A ground loop can exist if your equipment is built without a proper grounding scheme. If you float the ground pin of the amplifier power cord from the wall (using a hardware store ground cheater) and the buzz... | |
| Need Help With Input Sensitivity/Watts FWIW a preamp that can only deliver 0.7 Volts is not much of a preamp! Most preamps will make at least 2 volts (and many make much more than that), so in general if your amps are as sensitive as claimed (FWIW most SETs are less sensitive than that... | |
| Wish List For Vinyl Pressings How about a group buy?If we can get enough people to ante up on a title, we could master it (I run an LP mastering operation) and get it going. Any thoughts?? | |
| Speakers with fullness and weight? If no-one has mentioned Duke's (Audiokinesis) loudspeakers in the context of this thread- they are certainly deserving! | |
| Pipedream speakers-crossover You might contact High Emotion Audio, they have crossovers and also Pipedreams. | |
| Looking for a power conditioner/regenerator/filter If you want a good power conditioner, the very best made anywhere was made by Elgar. It is not an audio product, it is commercial/industrial. But it is high power, and can deliver a perfect sine wave at full power (28 amps). It is mechanically noi... | |
| Wildly fluttering woofer Heyraz, the argument against feedback is that when it was happening, it was only in one channel. If it was mechanical feedback it would have been in both channels. The two phono channels of the preamp are right next to each other. | |
| Wildly fluttering woofer So the problem was not feedback.A noisy tube in the phono section is still at the top of the list. | |
| Low-Powered Tube Amp for Zu Soul MkII? A refurbished Dynaco ST-35 or SCA-35 would suit nicely. You may find that the extra power (~15 watts/channel) does not hurt and they are certainly compact. For your budget you could find the used Dyna and have it refurbished easily.The SCA-35 has ... | |
| Wildly fluttering woofer Its not a speaker cable :)Its in either the phono section or the setup of the cartridge itself. Since its only in one channel I suspect the phono section, which may have a noisy tube. | |
| World's best small speaker? So far the best small speaker I have heard is the High Emotion Audio Bella Twin. It is 16 ohms, about 93 db 1 watt/1 meter, honest to 36 hertz and has a tweeter that is easily one of the best in the world (its a sort of bending-ribbon driver with ... | |
| 25 Watt Tube Amp for 90db Speakers? Viridian's got it. The size of your room, how lively it is and your own listening habits will say whether that amp is enough power. | |
| Volume control for power amp I would install an actual volume control so you can get the setting exactly right. I would use a 100K potentiometer for this task, especially if you plan to use a tube preamp or crossover. | |
| Where to go from Rogue M-150 amps? If you can find a used pair of Atma-Sphere MA-1s they might be in your budget and they certainly work quite well with Vandersteens. Most Vandersteens are tube-friendly. Which Vandersteens are you using? |
