| Problem With Innuos Sense - Won't Play Selected Song? @nyev I don't worry about getting credit for it, I worry about bots. When you gave him credit, I said to myself, "Self, that sounds like what I wrote." When I reread it I suspected bot and confirmed he joined yesterday and then he posted a link ... | |
| Best Tube Amp for High Sensitivity Speakers: 45, PX25, or 300B? @redox44 I had a Tektron that had heater voltages for 45, 50, 2A3, and 300B and I loved it. Sold it to a friend who loves it a lot. Great amps. jerry | |
| Questions on Dedicated 20 amp home wiring Your first question is the most important. 12 awg solid copper wire. Don't use a fuse, use a breaker. on my list is to upgrade my breaker and maybe this thread will help me get to it but the standard circuit breaker is adequate. outlets don'... | |
| So how do these new bots make money? New development. See @gertrude09 in this thread: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/problem-with-innuos-sense-won-t-play-selected-song Bot joined yesterday. First post was a paraphrase of my post above his and his second post had a link to ... | |
| Problem With Innuos Sense - Won't Play Selected Song? I think @gertrude09 may be a bot. This is the first time I've seen a bot taking part in a coversation on this site (that I know of). Anyway he joined yesterday and his first post was a rephrase of my earlier post and his second post had a link t... | |
| Would a real butcher block be going to far? You used th word "better". Are you after better sound? Are you trying to isolate your equipment from the floor and vibrations or couple them? Just putting a butcher block under them will raise the natural frequency of the system so you might av... | |
| My thermostat plays Jazz and I don't know what to think about that. @erik_squires So sad. You and I both know you had the ability to troubleshoot that yourself and I'm sure next time you'll be slower to call the repairman. Jerry | |
| Primaluna Dialogue Premium Integrated driving Magnepan .7 with Bypassed Fuses You should be fine at those listening levels. Bypassed fuses are irrelevant. Enjoy Jerry | |
| Best Tube Amp for High Sensitivity Speakers: 45, PX25, or 300B? This thread has gone away from the low power SET which the OP asked about. His speakers will be fine with 2 wpc or even 1.8 which is the normal output from a 45 SET. I'm driving my 96dB speakers with 2 wpc and while I listen at moderate volumes,... | |
| So how do these new bots make money? @audphile1 I'm not sure they are that advanced yet (on this site) but maybe. I do make one post to identify them as a bot because otherwise people will start replying to the post like it is a good post, which is the last thing we want to do. Jerry | |
| Preamp-Streamer to Hook to D&D 8c (DAC Optional) Tying yourself to AES seems very arbitrary and limiting. | |
| Amp vs Preamp which is more important? As a Tube guy, I like integrated. Not sure that is the same in SS since there are less good integrated choices. but a good integration ensures harmony. Jerry | |
| So how do these new bots make money? @erik_squires I think they are in the R&D phase and they are just practicing. I don't think they are monitizing their work right now. | |
| Best Tube Amp for High Sensitivity Speakers: 45, PX25, or 300B? I think you're on the right track with SET. I just sold an amp that could use 45, 50, 2A3, and 300B. I found the answer was: whichever I could find the best tubes for. I ended up using some 300B tubes with 2.5V heaters so I ran them on the 2A3... | |
| Blog: Upgrade Inductors with Care Thanks @lemonhaze . I'll be putting a 12 awg foil into service on my bass section very soon. So we just started talking about what we had found to work without thanking @erik_squires for the work on his blog, discussing the perils and what could... |
