| Any one tried the Yamamoto A06 with AD1 tube? Madranker,You are funny. I have run out of big words now. So you are safe! I agree with you regarding input tubes & rectifier tubes. The mesh no80 tube in my yammy made a important contribution to the sound I enjoy from my A08s.I would be up f... | |
| Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps Hi Brawny,thank you.I will try not to divert this thread, but in answer to your question I do not have the bass horns, but obviously have their active subs which work very well & cut in around 90hz.There is alway an element of set up to get th... | |
| Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps Hi charles1dad,If the recording has a tomb like silence then surely the playback of the recording should too? In other words if there is nothing there, there should be nothing, & if there is something there should be something.I have had ampli... | |
| Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps Charles1dad,when I say noise, I don't mean the old school noise from bad circuits. When I talk about noise here, i mean when compared with that tomb like silence one can get from SS or class D efforts. Ok my speakers are very revealing due to thei... | |
| Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps Charles1dad,I want to avoid tubes for a few reasons.1 they are inconvenient.2 they are inefficient.3 they are expensive to replace.4 they are noisey.But some tube amps & tubes do sound excellent. I am with you regarding the SET organic & h... | |
| Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps Srajanebaen,I read the SIT review and felt you were claiming that the SIT could possibly replace a DHT SET in most areas. I am interested in the SIT but suspect its the same old SS compromise.I have been chasing the ultimate amplifier for many yea... | |
| Fuses that matter. Theaudiotweak,In all the above excitement you probably missed my post with a question on 061012."Forgive my ignorance, but do you replace a fuse with a powerful magnet?I have used various cables which use magnets for shielding & have found the... | |
| Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps Brawny,would you agree with Phil and say the SIT is over damped? Does the SIT have any magic or is it more SS and a little devoid of the life a great SET would have? | |
| Fuses that matter. The audiotweak,Forgive my ignorance, but do you replace a fuse with a powerful magnet?I have used various cables which use magnets for shielding & have found them to be excellent. If I understand you correctly, you put the nickel or whatever t... | |
| Fuses that matter. Theaudiotweak,When you say "close your eyes and hear the light" is that because moments after installing the magnet and hearing the light, you will also see a very very bright light emanating from the Hifi, followed by the smell of something burni... | |
| Fuses that matter. Bryon I am with you. I am also saddend by the truth of your above statement. It's amazing we are all here. One has to balance mans incredible achievements against his many flaws. But the fact that you and I can chat like this across thousands of m... | |
| Any one tried the Yamamoto A06 with AD1 tube? Lol Madranker, I won't pontificate any longer :-)If babbling is 2 paragraphs you need to go hang out with more old ladies! Thanks for sharing though. I suspect the A06 will be excellent.I have not really noticed old tubes sounding better than mode... | |
| Fuses that matter. It's a shame that we steered off the path. We were asked about fuses that matter. I feel they do & are more important in some equipment than others.Suddenly we have got personal. We should be discussing which fuse worked well & did its dir... | |
| Any one tried the Yamamoto A06 with AD1 tube? Thanks Madranker. I don't know why everyone seems to be so reticent with their opinion? It's only opinions. It's just good to hear others experience. Did you find the EML AD1 to be cleaner and more modern sounding a tube than the original? Persona... | |
| Any one tried the Yamamoto A06 with AD1 tube? Hi guys,A couple of things here.Madranker I think Paul is trying to ask if that "magic" of the 45 is present in the AD1?In my experience 300b, & 2a3 tubes have a drier quality to them. There will always be one that breaks the rule, but i have ... |
