What freq.do tube amps loosen up in bass
Dear Guy:Check the specs. on your speakers.i.e.how low they go.And not the+or-6db figure.That means you would have to turn it twice as loud,and your mids and highs are twice as loud now,so the bass is still lagging.Do the test disc thing.You got t...

Switching device for speaker source

Speaker cables for hybrid amp?

2 channel high end disscussion
Talk about snobs. In my 62 years I have learned. I'm still learning.The garbage collector,or whomever, knows things some of us don't know.With this attitude your potential for learning is diminished. People who may not dress, speak,or spell up to ...
