| 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... | |
| Biwiring make any sense? Biwiring is only advantageous if your speaker wires are undersized. but some people believe in it so speaker manufacturers don't want to lose a sale for lack of a second set of terminals. Jerry | |
| Building crossovers Yep, as said above use the same values and quality components. I like path resistors. hook the ground wire to your black terminal. I used Mundorf in my crossover and it got expensive. but with only one cap go for a good one, silver, gold oil. I’d... | |
| Integrated S.E.T Amp and Bookshelf Speakers Recommendations I'll balance the argument. SET is the only way to go. I have tried a few SS amps since going tube and always disapointed. And push pull is a compromise that cannot hold a candle to SET. It is accepted because people are married to their low sen... | |
| What did you add to your 2 channel system to do HT? @sls883 But the HT designation and the assigned volume only applies to the HT use of the system, the 2 channel hi-fi use is just normal. Thanks. The speakers are really sweet and show off the amp well. jerry |
