| What do you hear with a better/bigger power supply and output capacitors in same amp? Just throwing components at an amp would be like buying a lottery ticket. You have to know what you are doing. I have a friend whose Almarro amp sits on top of a bank of capacitors twice as large as the amp. It is the second best amp I've ever... | |
| Best speakers for classic rock Vintage Cerwin Vega from the 1970s. I don't think Rock and Roll will ever sound better than it did in our college dorm suites in the late 1970s. Of course, you had to be there. Jerry | |
| Moving up???? I like Danny. But like everyone else, he's in it to make a living. Never blindly accept everything you hear from people--including all the highly respected manufactureres and sellers who post here. I like all of them but know they have bias. J... | |
| Tube measurement question... the higher current is a function of the tube design. So long as your power supply can handle the extra 20mA (it can) there is no issue. Jerry | |
| Tube amplifiers - software recalibration? If your tube amp has software, voltage monitoring, and anyting other than bias adjustment, then I recommend you get another tube amp. Or go SS, you're already there. Jerry | |
| playing "top-damaged" CDs ? CDs spin at several hundred RPM. paper stuck to them would cause some vibration which can never be a good thing. The paper is not glued, it is just water based bonded. I would soak in water overnight in a broad plastic or pyrex dish. the pap... | |
| KT-77 vs. KT-66 I'm not familiar with your amp. I think your question tends to be amp specific. In my Decware ZMA, I preferred the KT66 over the KT77. however, steve Deckert designed the amp around the KT66. I did a long journey of tube rolling and ended up ... | |
| DAC Vibrations? My thinking is probably not. But it is cheap and easy and can't hurt. I currently don't have my DAC on springs. I have had it on springs befor and likely will put them back under it. The pseudoscience over at ASR has people focused on measure... | |
| UPS Driver Literally Drops Package with New Hana Umami Red If you don't package an item expecting it to be dropped, then YOU have failed. Seller passed. Jerry | |
| Need for high quality powered center Erik, Why the need for active speaker in the center? I power my center from the HT reciever like most people and am pretty happy. I power my fronts with my 2 channel amp for a nice improvement. Jerry | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Last thursday, Chris Isaak at Humphries in SD. Smallish outdoor venue with pretty good acoustics. Excellent show. Jerry | |
| Upgrading Power Supply for Lumin U2 mini from switching to Linear Power Supply @kjl1065 I never worry about warranties. I've made no claims beyond infant failure. BTW, it doesn't totally void the warranty. for the OEM not to honor the warranty thay need to say that what you did caused the problem. So if a knob breaks, ... | |
| Tube microphonics people posting their experience with microphonics. The worst offender in my experience is OS (they are never really New) 6SN7. Jerry | |
| Tube microphonics @tattooedtrackman So just test for microphonics in all your tubes as I described. | |
| Tube microphonics It must be hard to try or the OP would have tried it rather than starting a thread. but maybe his real question is "what is microphonics".... I test all my tubes for microphonics and reject any tube that exhibits audible microphonics. "Micropho... |
