| Silent Running Audio vs Minus-K under tube amps It is impossible to mechanically over-damp audio equipment (I am not talking about electrical damping). If you are of the opinion that this is not the case, then its likely that you are used to dealing with synergistic effects which is usually not... | |
| Best speaker in the US $ 30-45.000,00 range All these responses and no mention of the type of amplifier used, which is something that should be considered carefully with any speaker in this category.My vote would be for the Classic Audio Loudspeaker model T-1.3. I would get it equipped with... | |
| Silent Running Audio vs Minus-K under tube amps Sweet. | |
| Slam possible with Tubes instead of SS ?? FWIW Sound Labs have a high impedance at low frequencies which is why tube amps are preferred if you want them to play bass right. You can get them to play bass with transistors, but I think you will find that the way to do that involves having th... | |
| Tubes to Watts Ratio There are a variety of factors that govern the size of transformers. In power transformers, temperature rise can be a big factor- transformers that don't get as hot tend to be larger.In output transformers, the amount of bandwidth that the transfo... | |

| How close to the real thing? Kirkus, I think you missed my point! The quote you put up is edited and not what I said. Try re-reading my post, without the idea that I am trying to make you wrong- that was not my intent at all.Irv, maybe you were joking but Sound Labs have anyt... | |

| How close to the real thing? Hi Frank, opamps usually have much lower propagation delays than power amps do! So feedback is more effective with them. To improve the effect of feedback and decrease the resulting odd ordered harmonic generation, decrease the propagation delay o... | |
| RCA to XLR adapters? Maybe you should spend more time here in the beautiful North. | |
| Silent Running Audio vs Minus-K under tube amps The Silent Running bases for amplifiers are some of the best we have seen. | |
| How close to the real thing? Hi Kirkus, that one is easy! Its the same issue of when you hear a really good digital recording, one that is really convincing. What would it sound like it had been done analog?The whole experience here comes down to one of expectation and intent... | |
| RCA to XLR adapters? Mary Tyler Moore calls it 'upstate' but we call it up north. Northern Minnesota, with its vast penguin ranches. | |
| How close to the real thing? Irvrobinson, in a nutshell, frequency response variation is not why tubes sound different! I've heard that idea expressed before, but its hard to find real world examples so I have to chalk it up to mythology. This is easily proven by using a spea... | |
| RCA to XLR adapters? Martykl, yes, we are all usually out on the lake ice fishing every weekend starting about September or so. I'll ask them next time I see them but I heard that Dean was injured up north recently so I may not see him very soon. Apparently he was nea... |
