| Suggest speaker cable for coincident super victory II Mani's suggestion may be the best way to go. I wonder if you might not do well to double them up at 15 ft, though. I have the Super Victory IIs, and I am currently using 25 ft runs of Belden 10G. It is surprisingly good for $1/ft. I would call... | |
| What is best tweeter height for the Devore O/96? Wow, you don't get a speaker like the O/96 made by some guy who through a couple of drivers in a box and got lucky. This is a speaker I would love to try sometime. | |
| Duelund DCA16GA gnostalgick, I understand Duelund is working on a 12 G wire that may be more suitable for longer lengths. I have been doing some work on my music room and needed 25 ft to allow flexibility in placement of the rack. I picked up 50 ft of Beldon ... | |
| Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts? Thomas, Thanks so much for your response. This dialogue with the company is what I hoped would happen when I opened the thread. I am encouraged by your candor, attitude, and also by the information you have provided on the changes to the tubes a... | |
| Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts? Stringreen, I can say that the Elrogs are substantially better than the Psvane Ts that came with my amps. Well worth the price, provided they last. I spent most of my life using SS equipment. The Elrogs in my Coincident Frankensteins easily su... | |
| Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts? Charles, thanks for you comments. I agree. While a 1 year warranty may be more or less standard, in view of the history of the tube, one might have expected a longer warranty as a statement of confidence. I am also troubled by what I read in ... | |
| Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts? Thanks Al. I had previously read the information for which you provided a link. Your question is a good one, and had occurred to me also. I trust that information will be available to us shortly, provided that even 2-3 "beta testers" take the ... | |
| Heat/Efficency of Speakers Al, thanks. All of the caveats you listed I assumed would be understood so I did not explicitly state them. Of course, the 2nd law demands that heat moves from an area of higher temperature to one of lower temperature. If the listener is in a p... | |
| Heat/Efficency of Speakers Maybe I did not make my point clear. Everything coming out of the wall ends up as heat. Reduce current draw and you reduce heat. Forget the speakers, They are irrelevant. They do not create energy, they only take the energy that is sent to th... | |
| Heat/Efficency of Speakers Uh, maybe I am missing something here. According to the law of conservation of mass and energy, any energy taken from the outlet will be conserved. That energy must either remain as energy or be converted to mass, which is extremely unlikely. W... | |
| New Sony HAP-Z1ES Firmware Out Today The VU-71 is very hard to find. There weren't many made and they aren't well known. Too bad. This is a great 5U4 tube. I like it much better than any other rectifier I have tried in the PS 9.0. | |
| Has anyone tried the Coincident Dynamo 34SE The original Dynamo was wired fro triode. Not sure about the MkII version. | |
| Anyone tried an Audio Magic Pulse Gen ZX in their TRL DUDE preamp? Dorkwad, Correct. No need to solder them in place until you are sure you like what they do. I think these do have an additive effect up to a point, at which you probably have enough units that you have the RFI/EMI in the vicinity of you gear can... | |
| Anyone tried an Audio Magic Pulse Gen ZX in their TRL DUDE preamp? Dorkwad,No experience with the Dude, but I have a lot of experience with the Pulse Gens. I put one in my MW Sony 5400. The improvement was subtle. I have the AM speaker clarifiers, which are basically Pulse Gens for speakers. I also have an AM... | |
| New Sony HAP-Z1ES Firmware Out Today Knghifi, Thanks for you update. I guess I am not surprised, because the MW Sony is a very good piece. I run Telefunken e88C's and a canadian Westinghouse VU-71 rectifier in mine, and it is as you describe transparent and neutral. Much more so t... |
