| Otl's with AvantGarde Duos? FWIW, we have lots of customers running Avant Gardes- Unos, Duos and Trios. One of the first reviews of the S-30 was on Unos. The combination definately works. Bass is of course no problem.Naturally, since I am a manufaturer, you have to take any ... | |
| Cycle Conversion Krell's power transformers are already set up for 50Hz. So the real issue is line voltage. If you are already set up for that then there is nothing else you need to do. | |
| Tube amp biasing question--- My guess is that your tubes are not too strong. No amp manufacturer would offer an amp that could not handle strong tubes. More likely is that there is some sort of failure in the bias circuit, perhaps some resistor values in the bias network that... | |
| So, again, a question concerning amps. Hi Lazarus28, I agree that both technologies have the *potential*, so far I have yet to hear a transistor amplifier that has been convincing to me. I've played string bass since 7th grade, even played with the Minnesota Orchestra, so I feel like I... | |
| So, again, a question concerning amps. So, uh, you mentioned 'peerless performance'.For that you will need tubes. The amps all reviously mentioned are good transistor amps, but they take a backseat to tube amplifiers, which offer smoother (more musical) sound, with greater detail in th... | |
| Best Sounding LPs Classical has already been well represented here, so...See if you can find a copy of 'Voyage 34' by Porcupine Tree. Awesome rock, ala Pink Floyd back when they were good (the 70s) but with a more timeless quality. Excellent guitar work- Porcupine ... | |
| Atma-Sphere with Gilmore on HE 2004 Your point is well taken. And Mark Gilmore himself readily admits that the Gilmore was inspired by the Carver- with all the problems that he saw fixed. To that end, the baffle is non-resonant at any frequency the speaker can reproduce. This is dif... | |
| Atma-Sphere with Gilmore on HE 2004 Hi Y'all, I thought I should put in my 2 cents as you knew I would eventually...:) I'm sure you've noticed that there is not a consensus about what you all heard, with the exception of those being in the room at the same time hearing the same thin... | |
| Point to point wiring. There is certainly some truth to that. I have seen arc-over, due to circuit board contamination, that has heavily damaged PCBs in some tube amps I have serviced over the years. This is something that does not happen with point to point wiring. Vac... | |
| What's the oldest piece of gear in your system? Scully record lathe with Westerex 3D cutterhead. The lathe dates from 1947.alsoAmpex 351 tape machine from 1957 (1/2" tape). Rebuilt of course. Unstoppable.Both sound fabulous. | |
| Trelja- announcement and disclaimer Hi Joe, I ran Frieds for years. I was always planning to go to a newer model someday.Its awesome to hear that Fried has reappeared.Good Luck on the new venture! | |
| Best Line Stage Preamp? Actually, there probably is a 'best'. A line stage should perform the following functions:1) control the effects of the interconnect cables in the system. In general, transistor units do this rather well and tube units do this rather poorly, passi... | |
| Point to point wiring. Hard time? Get it? Oh, never mind :)On a more serious note (somehow back on topic), I don't think anyone pointed out here that point to point wiring is a much bigger deal for tube amps then transistor amps. Tubes being high impedance devices, they... | |
| Point to point wiring. Huh. Is that anything like that time we were in San Francisco? | |
| Point to point wiring. Albert, don't you need to settle down a little? No-one even knows what a Pinto is anymore! Its easy to assume that you are a millionaire since you have such a wacked stereo *and* you live in Dallas, *and* you get a tax write-off on your SUV. Its a... |
