Difference between Siemens CCa & 7308 Not all Cca are created equal. There are both great and poor examples available. Not to mention the counterfeits.IMO, the probability of finding a great 7308 is better than finding a great Cca. | |
ASL Explorer 805 DE/JM Lab Alto Utopia combo???? >>I chose the ASL amps because of their price.<<That speaker dips to about 3 ohms and has a minimum power requirement of 40WPC.For the same price, about $2000 used, a better choice IMO is a pair of Rogue M-120 Magnum. Better power supp... | |

Tube Amp. Power ratings Inefficiency, phase angle, and price were not parameters in your initial argument so feel free to change the rules as we play the game.One more time and then I'm out there are OTL, even push-pull and SET, amps that will easily handle 4 ohm loads.H... | |
Tube Amp. Power ratings >>OTLs are an exception to the rule being designed for 8 ohms or greater<<Exception or not, it invalidates your initial assertion.Furthermore, there are OTL amps that handle 4 ohm loads with ease.Sorry. | |
Tube Amp. Power ratings >>The pwr. of tube amps decreases rapidly once the spkr. impedence deviates from the output tap being used<<Not true. In the case of a 12 ohm load connected to an OTL amp, for example, the output power actually increases.Conversely, th... | |
Zu Druids low powered tube amp or high powered SS? Druids, generally speaking, do not work well with solid state amps.They are a 12 ohm load and much more tube friendly than let's say Definition which are 6 ohms and work well with both topologies. Personally, I wouldn't use either the Proceed or C... | |
Rear Ported versus Non Rear Ported floor standing >>If a speaker goes too low for a room to contain the bass the speaker can produce you are in for standing room city, which is worse than a little extra bass bloat by putting a rear ported speaker in a cabinet!<<This is a huge assumpti... | |

Buying from Canada a hassle for you too? >>Next time, for payment, try FedEx next day delivery. If it does not get there in MAX 48 hours, let me know.<<Thanks but I have this misguided view that government employees should have the ability to read, sort, and process so long a... | |
Speaker Opinions >>Currently using Vandersteen 3a's with great sucess.<<Good for you. Congratulations.Money to spend? Go on vacation, buy a boat, invest in Countryside (oops, bad idea), save it for Christmas, donate to charity, find a new hobby, take f... | |
Build location for tube integrateds >>Especially the 1 KHz square wave. Wow! The output is highly distorted<<Don't get too hung up on charts, graphs, and specs.Over the years I've heard a bunch of speakers that measure flat 20-20K and sound like dogsh**.Where's that poop... | |
What to use if I just want one cleaning fluid? Let me clarify my previous post. It concerned the generic term “rubbing alcohol” as used in the thread. In this context we are discussing the use of isopropyl alcohol. Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol USP, BP (USP is United States Pharmacopeia and BP is ... |
