| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Syntax, I could not disagree more. I've spent the last 20 years working out what the human hearing/perceptual rules are, and then making sure that our gear obeys those rules. This work is on-going- I am also exploring what Chaos Theory has to say ... | |
| Making A Monoblock out of a VK-55 Here's how its done, some as what you can do with our amps:put a Y adaptor on the inputs so the both have the same signal. Put a wire from the right +output to the left +output and then another wire from the right -output to the left -output. The ... | |
| Pairing Tenor 75 OTL with Soundlab Majestics? Hi Jeff, you will need a lot more power to work with a room that size! | |
| Looking for new speakers Allenjohns with that budget you might look at Audiokinesis. | |
| Impendance taps setting on a tube amp The transformer transforms the 4 ohm impedance to the higher impedance that the tubes have to drive. If you load the 4 ohm tap with 6 ohms, the impedance that the tubes see plate to plate will also go up. You will get slightly less power, but the ... | |
| Tube Diagnosis Cleaning the pins will not do a thing- that was obvious when the problem moved with the tube!The tube will be like this forever. If you don't mind tapping it occasionally, you might be able to use for quite a while longer, but you will find that w... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Their list of amps is incomplete :)It does seem as if a lot of 'advances' in technology are a sort of race to the bottom: mp3, and CDs to name a couple we are all familiar with. Many of the changes I saw in 'hifi' receivers over the years (I used ... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states Unsound, the point of my post was in fact that all humans do indeed use the exact same perceptual rules- that is what the research (science) has proven. Taste is something else entirely and not on the table here.As Joe and Arthur point out, timing... | |
| tubes and rock and roll, good fit? Musicians use tubes because of their musical overload capabilities.If you really want to try out a tube amplifier, and see it rock out properly, the first thing to understand is that tube power is more expensive than solid state. The second thing ... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? I get the impression that Samujohn speaks for many of us in his last sentence :"...It's about the enjoyment of music -and friends."I've always wondered how far can we take our technology and for me straight tracking arms were always an expression ... | |
| Balanced Tube Preamps for Nuforce Ref 9SE V3 Ck, no, but you can find them used and the warranty is transferable. | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states Unsound, what is meant by offense is not really a matter of taste. Back in the 1960s, GE did a test where they played music and test tones for people and gauged the response.What they did was to introduce two types of distortion- even lower orders... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? The second order thing about tubes in general is only with SETs- when operating push-pull even-ordered harmonics are cancelled. The nice thing is that you don't get the 5th, 7th and 9th which are unpleasant and used by the ear as loudness cues. | |
| Looking for new speakers The High Emotion Audio Bella Pyra 7 would also be a good candidate- it is very neutral, revealing, has one of the very best soundstaging abilities I have seen and is easy to drive.http://www.highemotionaudio.comI would also check out Audiokinesis-... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states Mapman, that is as succinct an explanation as I have ever heard. Well done. |
