| VTL B+ Fuses I had the same need about a month ago; a couple 'goners recommended this guy and I do now as well."Contact this ebay member and get exactly what you are looking for for cheap: brooklynqueenselec" | |
| Can I bi amp my B & W 603 S3 speakers with an I have a friend doing that with B&W's and a Marantz receiver but don't know about Arcam. | |
| LFE Content between 80-120hz I agree with Mark, 80 hz is plenty high for most systems, unless you have a problem I wouldn't try to go higher. | |
| VTL MB-450 B+ Fuse Just wanted to say thanks Peter and Albert for the brooklynqueenselec tip, I passed on the "R" and bought a box from him. Friendly guy, fast service, good price! | |
| Cooling fans for tube amp So the original link I posted was because the company specializes in low noise cooling solutions. But you still might salvage your installation with newbee's rheostat suggestion (or as I did in a another cabinet, 2 fans in series). Another suggest... | |
| Cooling fans for tube amp I stand by my statement, you want to move air through the cabinet and heat away from the equipment. You need a source for the air (vents or an input fan) and a place to exhaust the air (vents or an exhaust fan). You can do this without "blowing ai... | |
| Cooling fans for tube amp The best option is to get two fans, one pulls air in from the bottom, the second pushes air out through the top - or from side to side, across the equipment. If you are going to get the 110 fans I would consider the rheostat idea to slow them down... | |
| Cooling fans for tube amp This place has a nice variety of units. Most have thermisters that turn the fan on automatically when it gets warm so you just leave them plugged in all the time. I have a pair on my HT amp that do a good job and are pretty quiet, but I can slight... | |
| VTL ST-150 MB-450 Bea talked me out of the 150's as well for my 20.1's (I was going to buy a pair and bi-amp.) She felt I should get Sigfried's but they were out of my price range; I got a pair of 450's which I'm very happy with. Your speakers are about 6db more ef... | |
| What do you look for in damping factor? The numbers Paulfolbrecht quotes are typical of many good tube amps; if (as others say) you just chase a high DF spec. you are going to eliminate quite a few good amps. I'm using VTL's with my Maggies and the DF is certainly under 5 (they sound gr... | |
| Calibration DVD I bought DVE a while back and while it was a little trying I did manage to make significant improvements in my picture in an hour or two. | |
| is super high speed internet available w/satelite? Don't get satellite Internet service unless it's your only option, only dial-up is worse (I had Starband's best service for 3 years.) As stated you'll also pay more. | |
| 1080p an issue for now? I would get 1080p because: it's the best that's out there, the premium is low, software is available for it, and scaled material may benefit. But at 12-14' I think 50" is just too small, I'm the same distance and wouldn't have less than the 73" I'... | |
| Help Choosing Subwoofers Thanks for all the ideas. I sold the 675's and ordered a pair of Nola Thunderbolt III's, I'll let you know how they sound (still have to wait another week or so). | |
| VTL MB-450 "Generations" Just to make this thread more complete, I've since learned that besides the $1200 Infinicap upgrade NRostov wrote of, the factory will also do the "Super Balanced Input" upgrade for $1200, as well as a "Tube Saver" upgrade for $500.A question they... |
