| Audio Research VS 115 bias Adjustments Thanks Hifigeek1: I spoke with a tech guy at ARC yesterday about the KT120. He confirmed what you are reporting above, although he did not know for sure who the manufacturer is. I did some on-line checking and noticed that the only label for KT120... | |
| Audio Research VS 115 bias Adjustments FYI: The ARCD web site has some information. The URL is pasted below.http://www.arcdb.ws/index.htmlBefore I pop the new KT 120 tube into my amp, I'll check with ARC. ARCD reports the new tube is made by the New Sensor factory in St. Petersburg, Ru... | |
| new tung sol kt 120 I just heard about the new KT 120 tube. I own an ARC VS 115, which came with "Winged C' SED 6550 tubes. Does anyone know whether the VS 115 will need an ARC mod in order to handle the KT 120. As is, my amp puts out plenty of power for my system. I... | |
| Audio Research VS 115 bias Adjustments Interesting. This is the first I heard about the kt120 tube. Who manufactures the tube, SED ("Winged C")? Will any mods be needed to accomodate the new tube type? | |
| Audio Research VS 115 bias Adjustments Lostbears: SED 6550 "Wingeg C" matched tubes, purchased from ARC. Roughly 300 hours on the tubes. How critical is bias milli-voltage on sound? Any rule of thumb on how low you can set the bias?? | |
| turning my system on during lightning storms Picking this thread up late, but still very relevant discussion. I thought my "high quality" AC line surge protector would do the job, but I'm glad I read the posts. Emailists is right about cable TV lines. My area is served by Comcast and I'm pre... | |
| Power conditioning for computer audio Thanks Almarg. The second thread was right on point! If power Gremlins are really finding their way into the final output that goes to a speaker, from a layman's point of view, that looks like pure distortion. I take your point about rf getting in... | |
| APS Pure Power A/C Regenerators Why doesn't the power supply circuit in a typical tube or SS pre-amp or power amp self-correct utility power "Gremlins"? I run ARC all-tube gear. Although there's not a lot of other stuff on the same circuit (i.e., from the outlet to the circuit b... | |
| Revel F52 vs Paradigm Signature S8 This opinion is for the benefit of others A-goners assuming that Tgp5audio has made a speaker decision by now. I own the Signature 8 v2 speakers (w/ Be tweeter). I have NOT compared the S8 to the other speakers mentioned above. FWIW, I love my Sig... | |
| Power conditioning for computer audio Hi Guys:While snowed in today, I was surfing around the net and came across this AC regeneration product from PurePower. It looks like the product is used to clean up chaff from power utility lines. Can someone discuss whether and how so called Po... | |
| How popular is Wire Transfer..... Actually, just another question. From a Buyer's perspective, how much comfort does one have in buying gear off eBay using the eBay Buyer Protection Plan?? Right now, I am working out a situation with an eBay Seller whose equipment was damaged in t... | |
| Seeking Turntable Advice Oh, btw to all: Sincere wishes for a Merry X-Mas and Happy New year. | |
| Seeking Turntable Advice Thanks to all for the great advice. I'm trying to apply as much as I can. Per Elevick's advice, I found an Audiogoner who does vintage Thorens TT repairs. He will service my son's TD 160 Mk II for a very fair fee. Per Lewm's advice, I picked up a ... | |
| Seeking Turntable Advice Thanks Cio52. Any recommendations for a good used TT, new cartridge and SS phono stage? Also, any thoughts about who could service/upgrade my son's Thorens TD 160 Mk II? I strongly suspect that the unit needs a complete overall, cleaning, lube and... | |
| Seeking Turntable Advice Hi 4musica44107: Thanks for responding. First, let me state that I strongly believe in buying used equipment where possible because our hobby is so expensive. Of course I recognize that it is unlikely that I will be able to pick up a used cartridg... |
