| Break in period Shadorne, if I get your comments right then I agree with them 100%. I feel very much that all components have their place and application.Component stability (I would think) is as important in audio as in any other application. To that end one of ... | |
| Break in period Shadorne, I wonder if you might clarify this statement:This is just one of the many reasons that modern electronics designers mostly use SS amps with feedback for low voltage level applications (tubes are still used in some very high voltage appli... | |
| Life of amp internals Electrolytic caps have a half life of about 20 years- in that time about half of them will have failed. The transistor amp above that is 30 years old has a seriously degraded power supply; despite that the amp still plays although at reduced perfo... | |
| tubes and analog Got that right! | |
| tubes and analog Rauliruegas, you can do better than that! First though you are going to have to figure out what the behavior of our amps actually is during a tube failure. So you have some homework to do. Then maybe you'll be able to create a more convincing story. | |
| Phono Stage - Passive Pre- Amp: Results?? Pawlowski6132, cable capacitance does play a role, but a more complex one than generally meets the eye. In addition to high frequency rolloff caused by the high output impedance of the passive control and the cable capacitance, the interconnect al... | |
| Tube amp for Sound Labs The last version of the SL *before* the 'torriod' option was introduced was an easy load for our amps- even the M-60 did quite well on them. When the torroid option was introduced, along with it came the low impedance in the midrange that Albert r... | |
| Phono Stage - Passive Pre- Amp: Results?? If you are running passive between the phono preamp output and the power amp, you will find that keeping the interconnect cables as short as possible will be very beneficial. | |
| more reliable amp: tube or solid state class A Hi David, Your comment that the 6AS7 is not that linear is not really true. The curve has a lot in common with a 300b and also 2A3s; in that regard the 6AS7G is in good company. On that point the idea that the amp is class A due to the non-lineari... | |
| more reliable amp: tube or solid state class A We've been making class A amps for nearly thirty years. In fact, other than a few prototypes, that's been the only class that we have indulged in. So I can tell you this, and it is not a matter of opinion but is simple fact. It does not matter whe... | |
| tubes and analog Raulinruegas, I'm not insulting you, but your description of our product just happened to be something that has not been documented in nearly thirty years of business. I had to call you on it plain and simple.Like anyone else in the business, sure... | |
| tubes and analog Rauliruegas, the last time I auditioned one of your produc ts it blew up too! What a coincidence!How about you fess up? The fact is you did not audition our gear. This sort of behaviour on your part is what gets people branded as trolls. | |
| Ok....Audiogoners: need some tube amp ideas Sheeh. My apologies to Nkj and everyone else on this thread. His post was a year ago! When I emailed him, he had forgotten about it. | |
| tubes and analog tubes are a noisy device " per nature ", tubes designs have higher distortions level than SS or hybrids one, tubes have heavy problems to reproduce accurately both frequency extremes specially the low bass where ( beteen other things ) does not ha... | |
| Best amps for rock and heavy metal Jc51373, what I find that (most) transistors cannot do is play slam and definition- crucial for playing metal. On top you still need to get the cymbals right. Ya need tubes! In fact, even in the studio, the best microphones for recording cymbals a... |
