| Possible sound deterioration adding subwoofer between amp and speakers Thanks, Eric. Because I anticipated that the best and most appropriate response to my post would be, as you said, to try it and see, I did just that. I was hoping that when the it was connected that the crossover only affected the frequency at whi... | |

| Need help identifying Russian tube amplifier Thanks for the response, jetter. The only time I've ever included photos was in an ad that I placed a couple of years ago but I haven't been able to figure how to do it otherwise. HERE's A CORRECTION TO THE ABOVE. IT HAS RIGHT AND LEFT VOLUME COT... | |
| Need help identifying Russian tube amplifier It looks like my post hasn't stimulated any interest but in case it does later I've a few things more to add. I called the seller to get info on bias adjustment because there is no information on this amp anywhere. He explained that it is auto bia... | |
| Random thoughts from a sort of, kind of audiophile I didn't mean to imply that the issues I've commented on here are not measurable. Except for those in reference to elevated speaker cables I believe that most have measurable sonic elements that will, to some extent, affect the audible character ... | |
| Pompano Beach Lighthouse Point, Florida I've tried several times to find someone in our area to share this interest with no success other than several who seem interested primarily in buying and selling equipment. I've been involved in this hobby/pursuit for over 50 years at various lev... | |
| Tinnitus and its affect on listening enjoyment In my previous post I left out the speakers which are Serie 3A's | |
| Tinnitus and its affect on listening enjoyment I've tried several speakers over quite a few years and the problem persisted though all iterations. Also, the caffeine issue was addressed at the suggestion of my wife a year or so ago when I went w/o all caffeinated drinks including tea and soft... | |
| How important is Impedance matching between solid state preamp and tube power amp Thanks. I completely agree that any component added to the stream has the potential of degrading content. I'm also open to the idea that some of my equipment, because of deficiencies related to age, design or unfortunate pairing, could use some h... | |
| How important is Impedance matching between solid state preamp and tube power amp Thanks for the welcome back, Al. Until your post I didn't know the input impedance of the Cary but it looks like the 2 values way more than satisfy the ratios you suggest. If I had one tiny complaint it would be that with some recordings there's s... | |
| New format, dislike..... Now that I'm getting more experience with it I'm stating to like it. At least one of the promised improvements isn't working , though; I'm not getting notices of responses to my posts. The biggest improvement for me is that I don't have to sign i... | |
| New Tube Amp Use EQ or not OK, I installed the EL34's, biased them to 165 mA and started listening. With only about 15 hrs on them, though, I didn't expect much and, sure enough, they sounded pretty bad and the only way to get them to sound nearly as good as the 88's was to... | |
| New format, dislike..... I'll save my comments after I learn to navigate this new format. So far, it's terrible | |
| New Tube Amp Use EQ or not Thanks, Lowrider. It's always good to hear from you. The best thing I've done toward resolution of my hearing issues is the purchase of this Cary amp that I'm using in triode mode. Tube rolling hadn't occurred to me, thinking that further improv... |
