| How hot are they ? I can't think of a tube that runs hotter than a 211/845. A single 300B will not run that much hotter than a pair of el34. A pair of 300B in a typical class A circuit will draw about 100w of wall power, therefore, they will dissipate a similar amou... | |
| Digital Shorting Plugs Consult your ownerÂs manual to determine if the manufacture recommends shorting plugs. Some equipment requires XLR shorting plugs when using rca outputs, other do not.Some people use XLR and RCA caps without shorting pins (Cardas Caps) which are ... | |
| SDS or phono stage If you use the SDSs on/off to control the motor, you can use the VPI SDS run hours feature to monitor cartridge use. I've had a SDS in continuous use for 10+ years using the on/off switch w/o any problems. | |
| SDS or phono stage Gpgr4blu, that "VPI rep" is wrong. The VPI SDS is a motor controller and is used to turn the motor on and off with a specified power sequence. The SDS manual states Both the SDS and the turntable plugged into it may be turned on and off with the S... | |
| SDS or phono stage Motor always on, and use the SDS to control the on/off. If you do it the other way, the SDS will not start at full power and then ramp down. | |
| SDS or phono stage The VPI SDS also reduces the voltage once the platter is up to speed. The end user can program the final run voltage. | |
| Character of the McIntosh MX110 Preamplifier Which series do your own? M, X or Z-series? | |
| SDS or phono stage Lewm, sorry about the typo. My iPad autocorrects Lewm to Lewn. I have both the KAB strobe and PlatterSpeed app and Adjust+ disc. I found the platterSpeed to be more accurate and easier to use. http://platterspeed.com/ | |
| VPI Classic platter - is center milled? I am glad it all worked out for you. | |
| SDS or phono stage I owned both the Walker and SDS and I could not tell any difference between the 2 units. I sold the Walker only because I had a friend who wanted it. I would have been happy with either.Lewn, have you tried the Platter Speed? At a cost of $35, it ... | |
| SDS or phono stage To measure correct speed, purchase Dr. Feickert Analogue's Adjust+ tesy disc and download the PlatterSpeed app for iPhone, iPad and/or Android smart phones. +1 for the SDS followed closely with a new phono stage. | |
| How much clearance do I need to cool tube amp? The VT 100 is fan cooled, you will be fine with 3 inch clearance as long as the rack is open sided. | |
| Amplifier Choosing As long as your room is not huge, I would go with the more current i35 integrated amp. The i35 will allow for more than one source to be used, it runs in pure class A and is relatively efficient and compact. The Defy is out of production, runs in ... | |
| Is there a glass ceiling for cable technology?? As long as cable manufactures employ marketing and PR firms, there always will be advancements. |
