| Power Amp What a silly post.+1,000 Well pardon me all over the place. Pardon me a thousand times. Just a humorous response to the post about a "hunch" above. Silly? Hilarious. No more silly than all the squawking and quacking about what brand amp it is. ... | |
| Tube matching question Yep; that would have been my suggestion; wipe them all with an alcohol pad and be logoless. None of my fifty plus year old Dutch EL34’s have anything more than a vestige of the original logos. The production codes near the bottom of the glass are ... | |
| Power Amp I once had a hunch; I got rid of it and got a clue instead. Lucky I didn't go the other way. Then I wouldn't have a clue. | |
| Power Amp You need a different repair / service vendor. It ain't the tubes. | |
| Power Amp Yeah, something is wrong with the amp....most likely the power tube auto biasing section of it. | |
| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- No | |
| Anyone know who repairs or rebuilds woofers? Not sure what you mean by "blown"......the cone itself is torn?......the voice coil has welded itself to the pole piece? the surround has either rotted or separated from the frame? Bill Watkins of Watkins Stereo may be able to fix it or suggest an... | |
| StylusTimer I keep a notebook and write down the date and the elapsed time of listening to discs as well as to vinyl. This pretty well tells me how much time I have on my cartridge and also tells me how many hours I have on which tubes. | |
| Buddy can you spare a dime for a $12,000 Ethernet cable? Their marketing department reminds them that they only have to sell about half a dozen of them to make an astronomical profit. | |
| $3000 stand mounted speakers? +1 for Watkins Gen 4. https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/watkins-stereo-generation-four-loudspeaker/ | |
| Usless but interesting ....how many of you old timers started with original Large Advents? First "decent" speakers I had were Infinity Qe, small bookshelf size and at the time thought they were great. Ignorance is bliss. | |
| Any Difference Between Gold and Silver RCA/XLR Connector Plugs? I agree that sticking with whatever material is dictated on the input jacks should be maintained on your interconnects as far as the issue of dissimilar materials are concerned. I'm sure there is a differential in resistance when using different m... | |
| Help me stay with Vinyl. I get most of my vinyl from Acoustic Sounds; never had a complaint. All the digital guys talk about how digital has gotten "better" recently. Fine, but it will never be a real time linear reproducer like vinyl is; it will always be little chops o... | |
| Any Difference Between Gold and Silver RCA/XLR Connector Plugs? Well, silver is the best conductor of electricity; gold isn't even as good a conductor as copper. Gold plated is a marketing gimmick. The only advantage gold might possibly have is that it will not tarnish or oxidize as readily as silver or copper... | |
| Clipping Try listening to Vanessa Fernandez "When the Levee Breaks." It's a 45rpm set of three records of her covers of Led Zeppelin songs. You're even able to hear the lyrics clearly, and she's a fine singer. Lots of the old standards on there. Highly rec... |
