| System advice Excellent play. I have the Golden Gate 3 and have no interest in a preamp. Some things to consider with the Big 7 vs the GG: 1. Both use DHT tubes that will give you a big, wonderful, engaging sound. 2. Do either of the amps have engine 11?... | |
| Métronome connecting streamer to Le Dac? You said XLR, I think you meant AES. That is my favorite. | |
| Music/Life I'm 68 and still an adrenaline junkie. the key is to never rust. Jerry | |
| Is it O.K. To Speculate Re: Company Stability Here? The internet is a place where everyone can voice their opinion. It is a place where you will never make everyone happy. Questions about a public company's performance are never out of bounds. Sensitivity to personal tragedy is always appopriat... | |
| Power conditioners and power regeneration He has been here twice, 4 1/2 years apart, shows up, craps on a thread, and then disappears (uless there are deleted posts, but I doubt that). So like a comet, don't expect to see him again for a while. | |
| Looking for a new subwoofer with two inputs I'd open it up and replace the autodetect circuit with a toggle switch. but you need a little technical experience to do that. | |
| Air Tight 300B Flame Out Gar, Based on that detailed description, I think you'll find a smoked resistor. Possibly another component but resistor is most likely. I'll let others comment on the tube glow you saw. the blue is generally electons escapong the plate and d... | |
| Thinking about going electrostatic I love the midrange and highs on the ML electrostatics. I have the CLS which is weak on bass. So they integrated them with a traditional woofer. I was headed that way when I got distracted and ended up with other speakers but I would predict you... | |
| The Streamer-Dac-Preamp Chain Does Aurender work with Roon? I know a lot of streamers that are not "Roon Ready" can be made to work but I think Aurender sees roon as competition and purposely prevents it's use. Jerry | |
| Air Tight 300B Flame Out I hae a cheap pair of 300B electoharmonics. Let me know if you want me to list them for sale. Audiogon will kick us both off if we try to do a sale without using the classifieds. | |
| The Streamer-Dac-Preamp Chain I strongly recommend skipping the preamp and putting your money into a streamer DAC. Does the Auralic play well with Roon? I am a huge fan of the Grimm MU1 streamer which also works as your Roon core. The Grimm MU2 came out and you can find go... | |
| Air Tight 300B Flame Out @gareents I've seen what test pilot said. But smoke is not normal. I put a wrong tube in an amp, blew a resistor, replaced it and was making music again the next day (had to order the resistor). In this instance, the burning smell was more noti... | |
| Air Tight 300B Flame Out Sounds like a simple tube failure except smoking? where was the smoke coming from? did you put a new tube in and confirm the amp is good? Jerry | |
| Class A\B or D for summer months (vs Class A) If you are used to class A, it is hard to be happy with anything else. teh marketing literature will always say that it is as good but my experience says otherwise. Most class A/B generate very little heat, yet they claim they operate in class A... | |
| SHIPPING speakers? @tomcarr I used to get my mail at a UPS store. So I was there most every day and watched them pack a lot of pacages. None for me as I do my own. What I saw was mostly overkill. they used larger boxes and more bubble wrap/packing materials that ... |
