| Receiver for $10k I would buy a $3000 Marantz cinema 50 for HT and then I would buy a seperate 2 channel amp to drive my front speakers for 2 channel sound. Run the pre-out from the cinema 50 to one input on the amp. Run the input from your 2 channel sys... | |
| Crucial TUBE question @audiodidact @mulveling has confirmed my read that the heater would not be hooked up. (needs both pins to have a circuit). So KT150 would not light up and would not produce any current. At this point I don't think we need someone with tube k... | |
| Crucial TUBE question Another thought. Perhaps the tube you used was not a KT150 but a large globe 5U4G? double check that. | |
| Crucial TUBE question OK I pulled up the pinout for both tubes. Nothing shorts out (obviously based on your experience). The heater will not have current in a KT150 so I don't see how it works well if at all. Pin 4 is a grid in one tube and a plate in the other. O... | |
| Crucial TUBE question Accident is sometimes the mother of invention. that said, I doubt this is a great discovery but you never know. Upscale audio's response is predictable legal CYA when they have no idea what the technical answer is. Hope someone who actually kno... | |
| Legacy Signature SE The volume needed to make your system sound good depends just as much on the electronics as the speakers. The better your system, the less volume you need. | |
| Have you had streaming music clip out with chord Dave? Yes, that is normal. sound unaffected, right? I couldn't rememer why so I looked it up. the memory blanking is normal - its because when writing the config settings to the flash memory you can't read at the same time, so I have to blank the di... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! @fpomposo Sounds like you don't believe in FLAC. I've never used an Aurender and I hope they don't have conversion problems making FLAC back into WAV. I upgraded my Innuos with onboard drive and a nice ripper to a grimm with onboard drive. I d... | |
| what cable should I buy for my system? You should buy a simple high quality copper cable. Cables are important, but not a tuner. the issues you describe are not your power cable. Jerry | |
| Magnavox 196 197 amplifier balance pot removal/bypass help please I"m not familiar with this amp and don't know how the balance ot is wired. if it is 2 pots that you can adust seperately, you can turn the both to maximum (and control volume elsewhere) will mostly take them out of the system. Most pots have a so... | |
| What did you add to your 2 channel system to do HT? @mahler123 there is nothing to say that high end 2 channel sound and high end HT(or any level HT) can't coexist in the same room unless it is room treatments. In my system they coexist and the only shared components are the 2 channel amp and he... | |
| Schiit Freya+ tube socket saver removal Sounds like you have qualitty socket savers. the idea behind socket savers is that they should fit snugly into the amp socket and stay there so that you can put lots of tubes into them--perhaps vintage tubes with dirty contacts, without degrading... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! @fpomposo not sure what is wrong but there should be little or no discernable difference between your ripped and streamed sourcefiles. Indeed you need a high quality hard wired input to your streamer. but my streamed music quickly revealed weak... | |
| Streamer/Ripper/Storage Innuos Zenith MK3 is a ripper, streamer, storage and optimized for USB. | |
| Amps that don’t impersonate space heaters. You're lowest heat, yet still awesome option is a nice simple SET. You don't need muc power but any class A SS amp will have more watts than you need and all the heat associated with them. Your BAT uses the 6C33C tube that is one of the hottes... |
