| Amplifier Capacitance Bombaywalla, sorry for my tardy response; obviously you got it right. | |
| Amplifier Capacitance There is one missing element.That is that the power supply has a timing constant. That is to say, there is a certain time period that will elapse if the power transformer is unplugged, where the voltage will sag to a certain point while the supply... | |
| How to get the impact of a live concert? Here you go:http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/general/messages/62/627320.htmlOne thing not mentioned in that thread is the in 80% of all audiophile conversation, the word 'dynamics' can be effectively replaced by the word 'distortion' without chang... | |
| What type amp to drive proac response 2.5 Its a tube-friendly speaker. 60 watts is a nice power with them too. We've had lots of customers using 2.5s. | |
| Best Speaker Impedence for Tube Amplifiers Here is the rule of thumb:"all other things being equal, your tube amplifier performance dollar is best realized by the use of a higher impedance speaker- 8 being better than 4, and 16 being better than 8".Tube amps in general will make lower dist... | |
| Balanced or Not Well I'm a manufacturer so you have to take my comments with a grain of salt on this one: once you've heard a fully balanced setup there is no going back to single-ended. I've said that a lot over the last 20 years and it continues to be true. | |
| Feedback blew my phono stage? Aigenga, Yes.Halcro, good to hear things are up and running! Hard to be without tunes... | |
| Best Electrostatic loudspeaker? Boy, the bass is pretty nice on the Sound Labs. Of course it takes the right amp to do it, one that can make power into a higher impedance (hint: don't use transistors), but the bass on the Sound Lab is top shelf. | |
| When was the last time you listened to live music? To the original question: 'last night'.Years ago I used to do PA systems for special occasions, using a set of Fulton J-modulars for the speakers, tube amps and the like. People would ask me 'why did you lug all that stuff here if you aren't going... | |
| Mini Amplifiers Dynaco made a cute little amp years ago called the SCA-35, which was an integrated. They also made something called the Stereo-35 , which was the power amp section of the SCA-35. Both had nice output transformers and made about 17 watts per channe... | |
| Feedback blew my phono stage? Just to be clear there is no way any cartridge could make enough voltage on its own to damage a phono section. | |
| Joule-electra LA-150 Mk 2 dead There are not many faults that can cause tubes to not light. In this case I bet the old tubes were also white inside. If that is true, they lost their vacuum and its simply not possible that the preamp had anything to do with that, unless the sock... | |
| Amp Shutting Down, need help Sailcappy, has anyone recommended installing a current inrush limiter? This is a device (goes inside the amplifier) that when cold has a high resistance and as it heats up, goes to a low resistance. They come in different current ratings; for exam... | |
| Feedback blew my phono stage? David is right- you need to do something about mechanical isolation for the 'table.If the preamp really was damaged by something to do with the ground, then both the preamp and amps need to go back to Halcro to get the problem fixed. There is no w... | |
