| How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ??? Hi Jimpcn,I enjoyed reading about your system! Thank you for sharing your speaker design; it sounds like a good future project.Something that came to mind about your friend's tt is about the cartridge and its set-up. Perhaps it is an intrinsically... | |
| How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ??? I have always wondered about why some super-priced tuners have a market. I can understand about moderately priced tuners...The signal goes through a lot of processing, and is sent over the air, only to be processed more by your tuner. The level of... | |
| How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ??? Thank you, Khaki8! | |
| How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ??? Khaki8,What are the 4 stations here in NYC with high quality broadcasting? This thread has got me curious.I would like to give my old tubed Sherwood tuner a shot on a decent radio station. I don't expect it to compete with a good tt set-up, but be... | |
| Shorting Plugs and Non-shorting Plugs - Wothwhile? Oh, also, unless the cheap IC's that you spoke of are plastic garbage jobs that used to come with cassette decks, etc., you don't have to sacrifice them. Just get the cheap rca plugs from radio shack and solder the hot to ground. Viola, you have s... | |
| Shorting Plugs and Non-shorting Plugs - Wothwhile? I had a serious hum problem in my system that turned out to be with my tuner and cd player. My pre-amp and tuner have two-prong plugs. My power amp has a three-prong grounded plug, so does my cd player.I was be-fuddled about the hum because my tun... | |
| Rolled some 12ax7's recently... Great information Nsgarch, thank you! | |
| Rolled some 12ax7's recently... Thanks Nsgarch for watching out for me. I should have put a "just kidding" type statement after my first paragraph above. Sorry, my sense of humor can be pretty bad or twisted.I have read articles on the Internet in my research about the counterfe... | |
| Rolled some 12ax7's recently... Now you tell me! After I washed off those cool little bugle boys off my Bugle Boys! Should I just toss them and buy some of those more robust Bugle Boys where the bugle boy doesn't wash off?Thanks for the information! I will give it a try. | |
| Rolled some 12ax7's recently... Hi Rodman,They came with my Dynaco pre-amp. I bought it and a Stereo 70 from the son of an engineer who made it while he was in college in 1965. I don't believe he ever changed the tubes. The tubes test very well in my tube tester.The tubes have t... | |
| Rolled some 12ax7's recently... Actually I found the upper frequency detail softened and veiled by the Telefunkens in my system compared to Bucgle Boys and Mullards, including the 10ms.This is with my Fisher 400c and Dynaco Pas3x pre-amps.I did not have muddiness with the Tele's... | |
| Are contact treatments worth the money? Hi Rodman,Absolutely right!Happy listening! | |
| Are contact treatments worth the money? Dear Rodman,Thank you for supporting my 1st Amendment rights (honestly). I apologize for the acerbic nature and tone of my statements; I categorize contact enhancers along with other products that are heavily marketed on a pseudo-scientific basis.... | |
| Rolled some 12ax7's recently... Hi Clipper,I have the BB 12ax7's in the phono stage, a BB 12at7 nearest the transformer, 2 Sylvania 12at7's near the can caps, and an unknown old stock 7025 in between (near the 6v4 rectifier).The pre-amp sounds fine on tuner and both aux's, and o... | |
| Rolled some 12ax7's recently... I am using a Fisher 400 pre-amp now with Bugle Boy 12ax7's now and am very, very happy with them. This is the pre-amp I was using when I exchanged the JJ's for the BB's recently. With the JJ's I honestly thought I needed a sub-woofer, and when I c... |
